I'd go with Viera in bunny suits just to be sure. (No idea sorry!)

As a side-effect, this is actively encouraging becoming the "I'll know it when I see it" kind of client when it comes down to dealing with actual people further down the line. Ughghghghghhh

:0 So you *were* Davis all along!

Thank you, Dona! 🥰

A digital painting of a partially geometric wagtail holding a cornflower in cyberspace. It's perched on the branch of a twisty, delicate tree.

A little something from a while ago - a wagtail in Netrunner style for a lovely couple.

Some people drive like startled gazelles!

I have some of their regular acrylics and agreed - they're fantastic. Super friendly prices, too - their bismuth yellow beat all the European brands.

According to artistpigments.org , Holbein's "Super Opaque White" acrylic gouache is supposed to be real good.

I feel this in my soul

For some reason gen AI loves adding absurd amount of wrinkles.

How exciting!!

Thank you, James! 😄

Thank you! 💖

A painting of Liliana from Magic: The Gathering on the back of a MTG artist proof card. She's holding a dark spell and looking at the viewer seductively (as is tradition when holding dark spells). The background behind her is dark except for a lot of bright pink accents that look an awful lot like eyes.

The same painting but tilted to the side to show the shiny effects (with mixed results).

Liliana is done! Used fluorescent pinks for the fluorescent pink parts and golds for the gold parts and some interference purples for the very obvious magic and the very subtle markings on her skin.

Done in acrylics - the pencil wasn't involved in any way, I just realized it's great for scale. 🎨

It's gorgeous! The transition from the flames to the patterns is extremely elegant, and I'm in love with the colors. It's just so rich in things to soak in

It's so beautiful! Made all the more so by the wonderful framing of the shot

I suspect it's photobashing falling victim to AI polluting stock image sites. The house is fine, but the cross on the priest has _those_ sorts of patterns. Suppose this highlights yet another very unfortunate effect of the prevalence of gen AI and how it harms artists.

Thank you so much! The purples were a labor of love 💖

Noooo that's how she gets you!

So THAT's why the "Heron"! 🤣Fantastic

A photo of a white fluffy cat sunbathing in a big window, with sheer curtains in front of him.

It's a mere 27C indoors, so as soon as the sun started coming in through the big windows Bucha went to finally get some warmth in this frozen tundra.

That person really, unironically went with "and yet you participate in a society" as a response? Amazing...

Quite! He's had his current favorite food and so I'm blissfully unchewed (for now)

Looking at my notifications like what just happ-oh! Hi Davis, hope you're having a lovely day 😁

Concept art of the Nuckelavee - a skinless horse fused with a humanoid figure that spreads pestilence - standing on rocks in a forest. Veins spreading over the landscape.

The Nuckelavee. Concept sketch for Pale Tides.

I loved the way you put that faint glow around them in your Githyanki piece and I love it here. Fantastic work!
