I cannot WAIT until our next D&D session for many many reasons (we had a big plot point happen last sesh so the impact is coming up next). But for me, personally? My phenomenal DM wrote up something nice and haunting and beautiful for my character that I'm illustrating parts of based off the script!

Honestly, the best way to make an artist’s day is by being very specific about what you like about a piece. Geek out a lil. Gush over how they use line, color, texture. Every mark is layed down by the artist, so if you can connect with those little moments, it helps the artist feel seen.

Bro last night’s d&d game was insaaaaaaaane i was up until like 2am just thinking about it No longer a comic day it is a game doodles day

Gasp! A panel from my webcomic in development! Wow!

KNIGHTS OF GUINEVERE PILOT IS OUT NOW ON YOUTUBE!

Here's one thing you can do: a disney+ subscription is around 16 dollars. Go on Patreon/Kofi, find your top 16 creators/youtubers with less than a million subscribers and give them each $1 a month. Changes lives, believe me

Friends and I watched Interview with the Vampire followed by the proshoot of the Spongebob Broadway Musical to balance out the vibes Maybe one day we can all hangout in person and have an even better time, but for what it’s worth it was a wonderful birthday movie night i love my friends ;v;

happy birthday to me and sans undertale

Once I’m done with irl obligations today, the rest of my weekend is gonna be solely for fun!! Comic work, silksong, dnd with friends, and a trip to the gym for a small workout. Considering my birthday will be spent working with the public, I’m looking forward to start indulging in this free time 😊

My latest Demo Reel feat. a mix of personal projects, multi-animator projects, and my past professional work! I'm still looking for freelance work--2D #Animation or #Illustration work. You can find more of my work on my site and socials! www.chloemcdaniel-animation.com chloecorvid.carrd.co

Oh, hey. Visa and Mastercard now say you can't pay for WoW. Magic the Gathering. FFXIV. DnD. Lord of the Rings. Because they're all "adult" content against their ToS just for being "fantasy". Let that sink in. Spread this like wildfire and have people in those circles call them. No quarter.

Malamar is legit in my top 5 pokemon from Kalos / gen 6 since it was my Ace during my playthrough years ago and i could not be happier about what love its getting as it deserves

Oh, to be a tiny harvest mouse in a bundle of flowers right now 🐭🌼 #art #cuteart #mouse #mice

I think its important to note that this isnt just another AI scumbag. This guy is making hundreds of thousands of dollars doing this shit. I personally saw him making a $500+ sale at Dragon Con. Please contact any convention you see him at and report him.

"but art should be accessible" it is, you can learn to draw, paint, collage, sculpt, make pixels. right now, starting today. art has never been more accessible monetarily nor physically than it is now in this age. access to artist labor and machine production is not an accessibility issue.

SILKSONG SPOILER but for the purposes of voicing an arena glitch... i keep running into a problem in Repaer Chapel/Greymoor where the scissor boy jumps into the ceiling and then... doesnt come back down? so i have to quit and respawn at the bench to try it again 😅 hope it ain't just my game...

I reeeally need to buy a controller because even though I'm enjoying Silksong and it's incredible and beautiful and brutal and--anyway it's quite the challenge to pogo with keyboard tbh moreso than hollow knight ever was. maybe some day... i yearn for the pc controller...

The hunt is on! Hollow Knight: Silksong is available now on all platforms, including day one on Xbox Game Pass!

SILKSONG TIME made this fan animation last night before bed because I cannot express just how excited I am

Just a few hours away… silksong…

Gonna work so so hard on the comic tomorrow so I can spend all day thursday in silksong mode

Part 17 is finished!! Super fun to work on 😊 youtu.be/dZiy1AVevps?...

i can't believe silksong is in 5 days i legit start getting teary-eyed thinking about it i'm so excited it's unreal

Almost done with my last part for an MLP multi-animator project >:)

they get it

An industry based on stealing the work of authors and writers and artists does not deserve to survive. I hope this class action suit puts them all out of business.

i just wanna live on the east coast, man. west coast was my dream for sooo many years but the cost is just too great, on top of still not seeing any growth in my industry there, in fact, the opposite. i am tired of living in this part of the country i want someplace walk-able and cooler 😩

I love when dinosaurs show up in DND because then i can be an even bigger nerd than i already am and design my character’s version for if i wanna use a 5th level spell slot to become one The answer is usually yes especially for theropods lmao

To me, seeing someone announce art or good news during terrible times isn't like trying to sell balloons at a funeral, it's like getting hugged at that funeral. When maybe you didn't know how much you needed that hug. From anyone. Or everyone. Folks need all the soul fuel they can get.

Hollow Knight: Silksong will be available September 4 on all platforms and day one on Xbox Game Pass! Watch the release trailer: youtu.be/6XGeJwsUP9c

If the AI bubble really is bursting, please take this lesson from it: Nothing marketed to you this relentlessly is ever worth it. If it was, they wouldn’t need to beg you.

Oh my god wait silksong news REAL?? Oh my god??

oh to live in europe where there actually seem to be a variety of animation jobs and, while still troubled, basic human rights...

I legit don’t know how I could sleep now without reading a physical book before bed this stretches the brain muscles juuuust enough to knock me out Anyway i’m taking my time with the lotr books for the first time and its a delight

been feeling very... everything. lately. hydration rice masks help de-stim me and calm me down.. but oh man it's still so... yeah

i love you beginner artists. i love you even if you're trying to learn art in your 60s. sharing your art can be scary if you are new to art and learning, but don't ever let mean people stop you. your art is important and beautiful because it's yours. keep creating, now more than ever.

Hey, as a librarian I need to tell you: Our funding depends on usage. So go ahead and check out that book even if you don't think you'll finish it. No one will know. Check out that DVD even though you might not like it. Get ambitious in your quest for knowledge.

Another part for an MLP FiM multi-animator-project done! Just got 1 more and then I'll have finished all of my parts for this project!! Background assets heavily referenced but none traced. *should* have ref'd the running but silly wins😂 All backgrounds/animation made in CSP EX, Compositing in AE

D&D fun! We're going through a maze that's based on the Feywilds (like in-canon is "based on," not actually the realm), and my boy Norphanus (who is deafened) polymorphed into a triceratops to protect a child we rescued! ... But because of that he was just a big dumb cow against the world of traps

Recently completed an online certificate program, and it reminded me I was rusty in some animation basics despite it being my field. So I decided to tackle animating my comic's protag Cinnamon today! Arm has some jank, but they're just tests for fun so 🤷

Yes I've still been animating and yes even more MLP FiM multi-animator project stuff 🐎👑

me everytime i open my comic files and i see my own characters that i drew with my own hands

If you're using AI to write essays, eulogies, a text to your wife, I do think less of you as a person. Ceding your mental and creative abilities to a machine is an embarrassing thing and people should be ashamed to admit doing it in public.

A key point in Fahrenheit 451 is that books were banned because they made people depressed and uncomfortable. The novel's protagonist, Montag, is taken into custody after he reads a poem that makes a woman cry because she realizes the emptiness of her life.

Guys there is hope

We need to teach people the difference between being uncomfortable and being unsafe. Because the discomfort of the safest people is endangering the most vulnerable, all day every day.

you know the summer s.a.d. is bad when you're purposefully watching old winter holiday music/commercial compilations to trick your brain into thinking the heat is from the *heater* and not the deadly hot air outside

here's a thread of some of the stuff i've been working on! since i know it may be in bad taste to just post *everything* i've got in the WIP stage, i thought a little thread would suffice. I seriously love working on this project but man... the 100 page buffer is not for the weak. but imma do it!😤✨
