A string of text messages from me to my friend reading "what a day to be alive though. if i start writing fanfic again because of this fucking podcast it'll be the beginning of the end", "so about this. i may or may not be 300 words and a plot summary deep now", and "the toxic workplace yuri got to me what can i say". She responds "LMAOOOO" and "SHOW SHOW". I reply "i straight up don't have the time for any of this like i've been working 10-10 at the theater every day", "god forbid i do my degree", and "it's in pieces but i can give you the first sentence if you'd like"

2D pixel art of Dolly Whatnot, a redheaded dwarven girl, Dusty Bo-Nay, an undead lizard, and Sir Lora, a squirrel riding a skeleton cat, standing in front of the gate of Fort Joy from Divinity: Original Sin II.

The same image but zoomed out so two stone towers are visible on either side of the characters.

A black-and-white pencil sketch of my Tav, Lirael, kissing Lae'zel. Lirael is a wood elf with messy, shoulder-length hair, wearing the Helldusk armour and carrying a longbow.

A slightly out of focus black-and-white pencil sketch of my githyanki Durge, Ll'irath, standing next to Lae'zel. The two are wearing their camp gear and have judgemental expressions.

An crudely edited Calvin and Hobbes strip (art by Bill Watterson). In the original strip, a snowball drops down in front of Calvin. He looks up and jumps in shock before being pelted with snowballs. The camera pans up to reveal Hobbes on a tree branch with an upside-down bucket. His speech bubble reads: "It's that moment of dawning comprehension I live for". In the edited version, Asra takes the place of Calvin, Bow'ee in owlbear form takes the place of the snowballs, and Astarion takes the place of Hobbes.

2D pixel sprites of Tom De Ville and Neil Newbon's player characters for Baldur's Gate 3 and Divinity: Original Sin II. Dolly Whatnot, a redheaded dwarven girl, stands next to Dusty Bo-Nay, an undead lizard. Asra, a purple tiefling in the Helldusk armour, is next to an upside-down Bow'ee, an elf in druid garb.

i can only wish everyone else the same amount of confidence that i had when deciding that this was a sensible project to pursue at the same time as balancing two shows and regular uni work because i've just seen my rehearsal schedule for next week and suffice to say i'll be fighting for my life :')

Pixel sprites of the D3 cast (Nathan, Hench, Mags, and Thomas T Tompton) mid kick line, a dance move second only to the grapevine in terms of its overuse within amateur musical theatre choreography.

2D pixel sprites of Devora Wilde banging her fist against what will eventually be a table but is currently a grey background.

Eight kobolds from the D3 podcast arranged in rainbow order. Salt and Pepper the salty sea kobolds are notably larger than the other six.

some of my favourite sprites from the last couple days in honour of my completing 30 seconds of animation (out of a planned 4 minutes and 25 seconds but we ignore that) #d3podcast

my second favorite part about this is that i gave hench a comms headset despite him canonically being the only tech at the theatre. wasn't intentional symbolism on my side but i actually think it works quite well with the character

my favorite part about this is how you can literally hear the exact moment i lose the will to live as i see the amount of background noise my computer mic has picked up
