Because unfortunately there's no escaping human nature. Wherever we go, there we are.

I'm very sorry to hear that happened to you guys. The art is beautiful and you can really feel the emotion behind it. I wish you all the good in the world.

Two cackling dragons soar above a golden, sparkling midnight faire. The dragons have stolen a golden flag and a string of fairy lights. Below, faire-goers (elves, humans, ogres, and fairies) play games, encounter unicorns, eat food, drink, and celebrate. The colors are deep blues, vibrant reds, and glowing golds.

I'd like faster preset switching, but that wheel seems to be
outside the scope of LN. Here's a solution building on
existing features:
- add an option to open the toolbar at the mouse cursor on
activation
- add an option to auto-close the toolbar when a preset is
selected
That would be cool for me.

I do use AutoHotPie for some PS functions, but I haven't been using it for LN. Mostly because I've been too lazy to configure all the shortcuts : )

Inside a ship, a pirate is caught in a desperate struggle with a giant octopus tentacle. The tentacle has wrapped itself around the pirate's neck. He is desperately trying to pry the tentacle off his neck with one hand, while his other hand reaches out towards a pistol lying on a barrel. The tentacle is breaking through a porthole, causing water to pour inside the interior of the ship.

I'm really sorry for your loss. Losing family is incredibly painful...Cherish the memories, they're all that remains...

These are some of the sketches I did when working on the "Sea Terror" piece. First row is trying out different concepts and compositions, second is value studies and the third is color studies.

This is a piece I worked on for my Swatches Academy
mentorship last year. I would like to thank Diana and Clint,
their feedback and guidance were amazing.

I used to do a lot of these when I was working in web design, before the flat look became popular. I think your best bet is to get some free text effect template PSDs and see how they were made. Freepik has many of these. You can also just experiment in the Layer Style options, it's really fun.

Yes, I would be interested in paying upfront for more years of updates. I don't think I would be interested in the other option.

A 3 panel comic featuring a 1990s computer desk setup with a 56k modem, monitor, keyboard, mouse, and tower. The modem is making noises and the monitor and tower look annoyed. The modem takes a breath and the other look relieved. The modem begins shrieking louder.

This piece from last year is one of my favorites. I particularly like the contrast between the warm and cool tones.

I just noticed that I never uploaded this card for Eldraine when it was released in 2023. πŸ˜… Feels like forever ago.

Original painting in a wood frame in situ on a shelf with a curvy figurative candle next to it. The painting in the frame shows a woman with shaggy shoulder-length hair, her face hidden by it, huggin her legs, with cloth wrapped around her, tentacles emerging from behind her and going in all sorts of directions.
