Fuck cancer

My screenshots folder on my PC is full of interesting stuff I wanted to share to one Discord group or another but didn't post because the timing meant I'd be interrupting a conversation or not letting the previous image post "breathe." And now I have no idea where or why I was going to share them.

Aaaaaand I'm back with more Innsmouth Garden Society! Page 59 is live with a new page and a long post on what comes next, living in survival mode, and how to support my work. I'd appreciate it if you give it a read. www.igscomic.com/igscomic/pag...

Fellow artists, how do you organize your digital art files? Do you save unrelated sketches as one per layer in a file labeled "sketches" or do you save them each individually? If individually, do you name them by subject or "Sketch001, Sketch002" etc? What's your method? What keeps you organized?

Slathered heavy shading on a sketch as an experiment and it looks so much better. That Mignola chap may be onto something.

It took six months but I finally decided to change my Twitch name. I think I was holding on to the old name purely for nostalgic reasons. And since I'm only active in like 3 streamer communities it should be a fairly smooth changeover.

there are only two moods as an artist

Saddened to hear my high school art teacher passed away. Her encouragement & guidance were why I considered pursuing art as a career in the first place. She convinced me to apply to art school & my experiences there helped shape my life for the last 30 years. Thank you, Mrs. B. I owe it all to you.

Oh wow. I've been using the Pathbuilder app for my #Pathfinder2e characters for nearly 6 years & I only now realized I could create a separate container for consumables, making them SO much more visible & more likely to be used. I definitely crit failed that Recall Knowledge check. Several times.

Soon, all the films in close proximity to it will also be THE THING. Within the year, all films in the registry will be THE THING.

He-Man and the Masters of the Universe was my everything as a kid so watching that teaser trailer for the new movie this week transported me right back to my childhood. I woke up this morning from a dream about Eternia and I have the cartoon's theme music playing in my head. I am so ready.

What's your #TTRPG resolution for 2026? Too often I find myself watching combat unfold, only to realize it's suddenly my turn and I haven't thought about what I should do next, which causes a delay. So for me, I'd like to get better at planning my next turn to keep things moving. How about you?

Luckily, I've gotten much better at this lately!

One of my hidden talents is the ability to unknowingly join a conversation in Discord as it's juuust about concluded so it appears my post is what grinds the conversation to a halt.

A random plant monster appears! Meant to be a quick warm-up sketch but snowballed into this. #art

Got something new on the way. Just need to add the digital arsenic.

At last, the final Cursed Relics, Week 4. Might be my favorite, likely because I was able to spend more time on it than the others. I had so much fun with these and I'm looking forward to next year. Week Four's prompts: • Solar Elixir • Starry Cloak • Demon's Urn #cursedrelics2025 #art

"Four swords and seven gears ago..." -Steampunk Abe Lincoln, probably.

Back in my day, AI used to stand for Adobe Illustrator! And we hated that, too!

Cursed Relics Week 3. I was sick for a while so this is the abridged version of what could have been but I'm still happy with it. Week Three's prompts: • Nightroot Fruit • Abyss Crown • Eclipse Orb #cursedrelics2025 #art

After a trip out of town for a few days delaying me, I've finally finished my second week of Cursed Relics. I had a blast working on this one. Week Two's prompts: • Dragon Crest • Stormclay Ocarina • Portal Key #cursedrelics2025 #art

Big thanks to past me for writing down all the info I need for an annual form I have to fill out so that current me doesn't have to make a phone call to get answers.

It's time once again for Cursed Relics, a no stress October art project created by @albabbgg.bsky.social . There's three prompts a week for four weeks and you can draw them separately or together. Week One's prompts: • Shadowfang Blade • Lunar Scars • Moonlight Scythe #cursedrelics2025 #art

Oh hey, I'm doing Cursed Relics again this year. Just wanted to post that for accountability. The first drawing is in progress will be all three of week one's prompts combined like I did last year. Not sure if future weeks will be combined or not. I definitely did *not* plan ahead.

Did I ever tell you about my superpower of serendipity? Small lucky things happen often but bigger luck usually comes with a cost. For example, I was recently at a tightly packed gathering with lots of people but I didn't get sick afterwords. The price arrived today as a broken lawn mower belt.

Nothing hurts quite like finding the perfect name for your new character then discovering the same name is used in a popular video game so now you have to find something different to avoid the comparisons.

You know how you can click an image in a post here and it embiggins it? It would be very nice if you could click it a second time to pop it out to full size. I know I can open the image in a new tab to do that but I follow so many artists I'd be spending half my day opening and closing new tabs.

Not sure why I'm seeing so much sexy Watto #art being reposted but here's something I drew waaaay back in 2010 that somehow fits right in. You're welcome and I'm sorry.

Saw a new doctor today and our very first exchange went like this: Doctor: Are you Todd? Me: That's me, hi. How are you? Doctor: Good, How are you? Me: I'm good how are you? Oh, I just asked that. Doctor: *laughs* I'm still good! And I didn't die of embarrassment so I'm calling it character growth.

This is a bit of a cheat as far as posting new art goes since I started it over a year ago. It was a replacement PC for a #Pathfinder2e game that had a TPK & ultimately ended up abandoned. It became a go-to test piece for rendering & brush experiments for several months but I'm calling it done. #art

I sat down to draw immediately after posting this but instead cleaned my desk, made & ate dinner, spent 20 minutes deciding what podcast to listen to, then ran dailies in a video game, which is, sadly, pretty standard operating procedure in case you were wondering why my art posts are months apart.

I recently realized I haven't made new personal art in nearly 8 months. I keep telling myself I'm better off with quality over quantity but it turns out the lack of quantity has led to a sharp dip in quality. So I'm going to create and share more art, even if it's just for me, even if it's junk.

Pumpkin spice coffee creamer acquired! That makes it official.

Why are seemingly inconsequential decisions sometimes the hardest? I've wanted to change my Twitch username since they introduced that feature but I never actually do it. I'm a lurker on most channels so it would practically go unnoticed, yet I still cling to the name I no longer use anywhere else.

I'm really liking what I'm seeing so far for #Starfinder2e. The classes seem particularly well designed and the ancestries are all so interesting I'll have to play a shapeshifting astrazoan just so I can try them all with one character. I'm definitely looking forward to playing this game.

While out and about today I saw school supplies on sale (or as some of us call them, analog TTRPG supplies), a store putting out Halloween decorations, and I even snagged a pumpkin spice cappuccino (from a gas station, but still). Fall is on the horizon folks and I feel my power returning. 🍂🎃

Happy Star Wars Day! Here's a drawing from waaay back in 2016 when I foolishly felt the need to correct a spelling error on the internet. #starwarsday #maythe4th #yoda #wookiee #art

You ever absentmindedly tap your ear in a public place thinking you were pausing the music so you could hear better only to realize the sound was coming from the store's overhead speakers and you aren't actually wearing earbuds? Nah, me neither. 🫤

My thoughts on Generative AI

You know how in some TTRPGs if you fail at a task you can't try again until you gain a level? I think I might have leveled up because I just solved a problem I've been stumped on for months.

It's always a strange feeling running across artwork you made that you have no recollection of doing. I'm sitting here, going through an old hard drive, looking at a private commission I did years ago thinking, "I made that? Wow!"

My favorite design is on sale again. Shirts, mugs, stickers, etc. You should check it out. www.teepublic.com/t-shirt/2895... #art

After two fights where I missed all my attacks, my level 2 #Pathfinder2e monk, in a single round, used his kusarigama to trip a bandit, hit him twice with flurry of blows at -5 & -10 MAP, & lacking a viable 3rd action hit again with a hail mary attack, also at -10, killing the bandit. Feels amazing.

The eternal struggle to find a balance between drawing armor as accurately as possible so I'm not judged by those that draw incredibly accurate armor and drawing the most impractical yet cool as hell fantasy armor just because it looks badass.

Decided I'd limit myself to Bluesky for now and when I get the urge to visit another social media site I'll do a page in a word search book instead. First time I open the book today my highlighter dried up, then my pencil broke, then my pen ran out of ink. This is a sign. To use crayons.
