TFW you realize you've been drawing the last three pages of comic panels with a character's missing finger on the wrong hand. Might have to resort to sticky notes here as reminders.

goddamn this gorgeous anatomy!

a young night elf with a young nightsaber licking her

garrus and female shepard making out while Jacob, Kelly, and Miranda look on, being very unsurprised. Jacob says: Well finally. Miranda says: I thought she'd never admit it. Kelly says: Yeah what has it been, like a year? Jacob replies: Yeah something like that.

Some quick sketchies of some fun stuff, including what I imagine my night elf rogue and her nightsaber mount looked like as kids, and a scribble of how I'm absolutely certain the whole Garrus/Shepard thing actually went down.

WE ARE LIVE

FUCK ICE

ABOLISH ICE

PROSECUTE THE MASKED STATE TERRORISTS IN THE STREETS

Today and tomorrow, any commissions I get will have 50% of the proceeds going to Minnesota relief funds for the city under siege by ICE.

Envy in worm form from FMA: brotherhood, holding his philosipher's stone and looking sadly at it

Pride from FMA: brotherhood with his shadows, eyes and teeth glaring at the viewer

FMA truly rests as one of my biggest influences and inspirations, and the Homonculi are some of my favorites next to Al and General Armstrong.

ink drawing of Johnny the Homicidal Maniac, Squee, and...I don't remember the woman's name. The characters above them are the figments of their imagination that talk to them in very destructive and malicious voices meant to symbolize their various psychosis

The other side of my college ink/bristol board experiments. After getting really into Invader Zim I went looking for other stuff Jhonen Vasquez had done and found aaaaaall these other delightful sickos. I don't quite remember all their names, but I do remember #johnnythehomicidalmaniac

stitch from lilo and stitch standing sadly and his shadow is looking ominous in his full alien form

This might be one of my oldest pieces I still have, from around when Lilo & Stitch first came out and I was first learning about actual inking pens and bristol board. Many years later I managed to scan and clean it up some, mostly fixing the fading ink.

I was GOING to try and draw stuff today but then a foot long hole appeared in our wall so there's been a lot of assessing and temporary fixing before kitties get too interested. Le sigh.

If I had to guess, I'd say Alleria or Turalyon. But it wouldn't be shocking if they both bit it. Maybe even kill off Vereesa and make Arator the sole living heir to the Windrunner mantle, but that might be giving Blizz too much credit, since it involves them moving beyond their old favs.

Definitely not the only one. Blizz's main plots have never been great, and in fact their "best" ones were often the simplest ones, but the side characters and racial lore was always so intriguing and had so much potential. It was part of what made the game so unique. Not so much these days.

a group photo of Homonculi from Full Metal Alchemist. These are from the Manga version. from left to right, Wrath, Envy, Gluttony, Lust, Greed

I drew this when I was reading Full Metal Alchemist and lamenting that the anime diverted so completely that we were denied these awesome designs on some of the Homonculi. Brotherhood hadn't come out yet.

a comic page depicting a troll paladin from Legion Remix being deposited in a different timeline where people he thought dead are not actually dead in this timeline. It's a kind gesture from this infinite dragon, but it may, and probably cause a lot more problems than it will solve. She's gonna do it anyway.

In honor of Legion: Remix ending, this is how I imagine my Paladin ended up in Timeline Prime with all the rest of my characters from the live side of the servers.

Tak from Invader Zim disguised as a human with her robot Mimi over the words Queen of the World

I still lament that Tak did not get the justice she deserved and the show got canceled before she could come back. Hands down my favorite character out of the Invader Zim series.

Commander Shepard holding a broken space helmet in a locker room.

Still proud of this one. Some introspective stuff about Shepard in ME2. This was the revision that got into SDCC's Bioware wall of art back in...2011 maybe?

Jak from between Jak and Daxter and Jak 2 in a prison cell looking up at the barred window.

dark jak from jak 2 and 3 sitting in the desert

Some more ancient stuff, this time from the PS 1/2 era of Jak 2 and 3. I really do wonder how I ever colored and shaded without a tablet like this but it might explain why I have such wrist issues these days.

ridley from super metroid holding samus by the waist as she aims a canon blast at his head

Man, this is one of the oldest pieces that has survived my many, many HDD failures and computer transfers over the years. Back in the days when I inked on paper, colored with the little nub mouse on a laptop, and shaded with the blur filter in ye olde days of Photoshop in 2003.

femshep from mass effect 3 standing on rubble in armor

Some full body portraits I was doing for portfolio practice back around 2012 that I still have a fondness for. This was of course my main Shepard from Mass Effect 3.

Save the animals!

a deep sea kelpie with celtic circles around it over a waterhorse

I always had wanted to see a unicorn kelpie with actual kelp for a mane/tail so I made it myself. Threw another waterhorse in there for good measure.

the kaidonovskys from the movie pacific rim standing in front of a silhouette of their giant robot mech that they pilot.

2013's Pacific Rim was a simple, great movie where giant robot pilots from all over the world fought giant kajiu and despite these two characters having about 3 minutes of screen time in a 1-2 hour movie, they were two of my favorites.

You know what, fuck it. 50% of all commissions and sales for the rest of this month are going to go directly to Minnesota organizations currently helping the residents resist and protect each other from ICE.

Get art, help the helpers.

History is so educational

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.

ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

"what are we going to do with 20,000 ICE agents if we abolish ice" well to start with I think we should all literally spit on them in public for the rest of their lives

The Anti Performative ICE Resistance Guide (What Actually Helps) from The Financial Diet

Fund the Work ICE enforcement succeeds, in part, because people can't afford lawyers. So, • Set up recurring monthly donations (even $10-$25) to trusted orgs like: RAICES, National Immigration Project, Immigrant Defense Project, Legal Aid Justice Center, Amica, ACLU, local immigrant bond funds (these matter most), and many more. • Prioritize legal defense + bond funds. If your help disappears when the news cycle does, it's not helping as much as it could.

Show Up Offline Material ways to assist • Court accompaniment (quiet presence, documentation). • Childcare or rides for families attending hearings. • Translation support (if fluent). Mutual aid coordination through existing networks.

Protect those being persecuted, from yourself Well-meaning people can cause real harm. DON'T • Share raid rumors without verification. • Post locations, schedules, or identifying details. • Pressure undocumented people to "tell their story." DO • Ask: Does this increase their risk? • Default to privacy over visibility.

Fuck ICE.

Sharing screenshots of a great post from The Financial Diet on IG that compiles some helpful jumping-off points if you’re still feeling helpless and don’t know what to do.

(Part 1 of 2)

Male Shepard as an AI hologram is sitting on a throne of Reaper consoles and cables, flanked on each side by a hologram of Ash, and his long deceased sister (my femshep who did not survive in this version)

Female Shepard with battle damage atop the Crucible, holding a pistol and glaring at the child AI behind her that is trying to convince her to reformat organic life or become a Reaper AI.

My two Shepard endings, canonized in fanart. Femshep ended up giving the Reapers a big FU, and MShep said "Nope you're all too dumb to save yourselves, I have to do it for you". Guess which one was the paragon and which was the renegade.

a barren tree with a bleeding eye in the trunk and tentacles as roots underground against a rising full moon.

When Wikipedia takes you down a rabbit hole of Cthulhu-verse monstrosities, proceed with caution. I drew this from a description of one and my DM saw it and stated it up as a D&D monster. I now attempt to burn every suspicious tree we find in our games because I saw those stats and damn man.
