MASTERING IMAGINATIVE REALISM Learn how to create compelling art and level up your storytelling

I was planning on announcing the first 2026 art mentorship in a couple of weeks, but vet & cremation bills hit pretty hard so I'm going to open signups now.

Semester 9 begins in February - if you'd like to sign up or learn more, here's the website:

my disgust is immeasurable.

We really need to double down on outwardly stating our work does not contain AI.

We're seeing it in movie credits and books, we have to start putting it on things we make and pressuring others to label their work as human made, and normalize that as much as we can, I think.
stuff like this maybe

this map for Disco Elysium Final cut is i believe the most time consuming jobs i've done
was super fun

Christmas tree is up, The Grinch is playing and I might just stay here till 2026

A sorceress astounded by her freshly sculpted homunculus. A single shaft of light illuminates her creation. Bounce lighting reflects upon the sorceress. The homunculus has a flaccid butt. The maker's hands are covered in fresh clay. They are the only body parts of the sorceress that are directly lit. Faint, residual purple smoke wisps from her fingertips: the homunculus stands in an awkward pose, that of a creature freshly adjusting to its body. The homunculus has thin limbs and a hefty torso, though it is faced against the viewer. The sorceress's workshop is littered in sculpting tools, brushes, an open tome of transmutation, ceramic bowls and a pitcher of dirty clay water in which lie a few of these tools. Clay shavings are scattered about the floor. A red, runic circle surrounds the humonculus. In the dark background it is possible to catch a few failed prototypes on a shelf.

"Birth of the Homunculus"

This painting has been floating around in my head for months now, and I only found the right time to bring it to fruition yesterday!

a 16:9 format fantasy map drawing in warm tones and with many small decorative details. the border is made out of decorative clouds and there is a dragon int he corner with a couple more smaller dragons among the landscape. the regions are divided by different colour hues.

Was asked to draw a Fantasy style map by Causa Creations recently and got reminded how fun these are to make!

Thought I'd be nice to come back to my roots, so, just a reminder to potential clients that maps are in my wheelhouse too!

Booking gigs for March onward rigth now. #fantasyart #TTRPG

This might be the most realistic portrayal of being an artist working for indecisive directors/leads I've ever seen on tv. Everyone needs to be watching The Chair Company.

A naive floral illustration with a severed hand that was already all fucked up because it was made by a slopper. With the text “I don’t use ai I’m not a fucking loser”

Sloppers fuck off. If you can’t do it yourself maybe learn to be happy as the audience

It wasn't deep. It didn't have much to say. But Xiao Xiao inspired millions to try Flash animation for themselves.

A Beijing artist made this series -- and turned stick fights into a phenomenon. We're exploring why and how he did it:

A portion of every dollar spent on Harry Potter merchandise goes to anti-transgender campaigns.

Here's some spooky art that I did of the mcdm summoner class. Tis the season for necromancers and spooky scary skeletons.

Finally got around to playing Triangle Agency last night and I'm so ready for a campaign. @jemalexander.bsky.social did an incredible job herding a bunch of the most chaotic characters through a plot to take down an anomalous ice cream van. Perfection

I'd never played it before and I'm obsessed. Can't get over the storytelling and how nuanced it is while never shying away from a strong point of view. Most fun I've had on my Switch 2 since launch. The urge to make fanart is growing...

With alt text so everyone can get it

fanart of Artemis from Hades 2, wearing a modern outfit - dark jeans, bra with some sort of laces around the belly -, moon and arrows tattoos on the arms and chest, dark green hair, and a tiny owl standing on her head she's adjusting her outfit, head slightly tilted down, eyes closed, smiling she also wears an arrow earring and a moon necklace

the huntress

I can't wait to know what this guy is all about.

Perfect balance of detail, love it! :)

here's the single-paragraph reason you should not be putting ChatGPT into a school curriculum

Just dropping this right here... www.gamefile.news/p/ea-ceo-and...

Digital art of a ranger and a giant jackalope equipped with a saddle and bags. The ranger is wearing a white cowboy hat, a red serape, and dusty mauve cowboy boots. She is down on one knee, examining a broken feather as she looks off in the direction of her quarry. It is midday - the colours are vivid and warm, conveying the heat and aridness.

Art of a deathly pale woman with long white hair. She is dressed in black, with gold-trimmed light armour. She lunges forward, brandishing a long black knife and pointing a long metal claw. Black shadow magic erupts from her casting implements in the shape of wings.

Fanart of Sailor Saturn with a reinterpreted design. She is wearing a full suit of silver armor with aubergine accents. She wears a black veil and crown, and wields her Silence Glaive.

Character art of a "Starlight Saint". A knight dressed in excessively decadent armor and cape in a neo-classical and baroque fashion. The armor is gold, studded with bright magenta gems and hot pink ribbons. Panels on the armor are deep purple and magenta, with gold constellations. The clothing that peeks through the armor at the arms and legs are white slashed silks over purple silks studded with constellations. In his right hand he flourishes a white cape lined with deep purple, embellished with pink gems and gold constellations, and edged with a line of gold tassels. In his left hand he flourishes a sword with an incredibly long and thin magenta blade, and a gilded hilt featured an angel with swirling wings. He wears a leopoard pelt bedecked in ribbons with gems set in its eyes. The face of his full mask helmet is that of a classical statue, with a triple crest of plumes. A gem-studded gold halo circles the top of the helmet.

gAI art is bad because it's stealing labor.

stealing labor from art is easy because no one sees art as labor, they see it as talent.

they see it as talent because it's easier to believe they have a right to hate you because they can't stand they gave up and you didn't.

fuck them, pay labor.

A decorative illustration of flowers with the caption “I don’t use ai I’m not a fucking loser” with a severed hand with too many fingers

I drew this on my lunch break your excuses are fucking pathetic

if you're a patreon creator PLEASE fill out their official survey about how much you hate AI

some recent mouth/teeth studies from photo reference

I still struggle to draw open mouths/teeth from imagination so this was some much needed practice. Tried to find some interesting looking ones for variety.

It's three years this week since the UK media reported that 1000 families were going to sue the Tavistock (Gender Identity Clinic) for medical mispractice. There wasn't one "family", let alone 1000. It was clear, at the time, that it was bullshit propaganda, and even clearer now. 1/

as someone who likes to see the best in people the number of fuckers falling for the computer saying "while i'm just a chatbot... i think you're really special! ;)" is testing me

Yes.

Well that’s nothing! Apparently if you don’t vote Labour you’ll get Reform and THEY’LL be the ones doing this. Who would you rather have destroying the lives of minorities? Those red ties are so comforting.
