Another from the #dancers series. The connection of two partners during a dance is unique.

Nice! I need to do something like that. Was it just you challenging yourself or did you follow a site or something?

One of the first black and white oil pastels I did. I always liked how it turned out.

Digital painting from the Covid days. Felt like a good day to recycle it here.

Part 2 of Edward Weston photos that I drew in high school. I was trying to learn proportions, shadows. Highlights. And it was the start of me loving to draw in black and white.

Decided to post one of my mechanical bugs based on some cool art I’ve seen here today!

A greyscale illustrated cover of my zine - A Zine About RPG Zines. Below the title is a goblin character who is sticking out their tongue as they try to read a zine which is upside down in their hands.

Well gang, I mentioned it before, but it's finally uploaded and ready to go. My zine about how to make your #homebrew ttrpg content into a zine using only free online tools is now available.

It's PWYW, and please do - if that's $0.00? I would LOVE for you to still get it.

Bones! Drew this for my physical therapist after I severed the tendon in my thumb. 0/10 would not recommend severing tendons. Background is a page from #davinci

Background fight is stellar. Epic even. Foreground guy-I think he needs to look more rugged. More lines around the eyes and cheeks?

What about zooming in-granted that would show less of the lemur(?), but it would bring a tight frame to the picture.

I think I prefer it without the heart. I like getting the wider view.

Wrote a book a while back, so I figure I’ll just pin it here to my feed. Throttling the Bard is an adventure comedy kinda like Don Quixote meets Easy Rider.
