it's truly so rewarding! i didn't expect to fall in love with clay like this, but watching a project go from a vague plan in my mind to a physical object i can hold feels incredibly special!!

as soon as i get a job i'm splurging on a ceramics studio membership and learning to use a pottery wheel (this class was just hand-building stuff, and i've barely scratched the surface of those techniques, but i need MORE)

i'm taking a pencil drawing class this fall and it's incredibly humbling to try to get back to doing art. it's really fun but it's definitely exposing all the weak spots in my fundamentals

Poster-like drawing of my Dragon Age protagonists standing one next to the other from the bottom to the top of the piece. The Warden Deneb Surana is an elf and he is wearing the Grey Warden Light armor. Eleanor Hawke is a woman of long red hair wearing the light Champion armor. Ixialia Lavellan is a dalish elf woman wearing the Keeper armor, but I made it purple instead of green. Throyann Mercar, my Rook, wears the light Shadow Dragons armor despite being a rogue.

a drawing of my OC Sylviana, sitting in her wheelchair she crosses her legs at the knee and has one hand raised in the air. her expression looks concerned as she prepares herself to hear the woes of her brother (not in the picture).

"mijo if you are coming to cry about a boy to me again i am going to need you to get the wine first."

luka's older sister, sylviana. she adores her little brother and will always be his shoulder to cry on...but not without a bottle to split with him first.

 a drawing fashioned after JC Leyendecker's "Man and Woman Dancing" from 1923. 

My OC tychon being led in a dance by a human skeleton. the skeleton is a light brown off-white and is covered in golden markings and scuffs. it leads with one arm raised, tychon's hand resting on its palm. 

tychon, a blond elf, wears a red halter top with a tie at the back of his neck. his blond hair has been styled into a braid on the top of his head leading to a bun, the back and sides shaved. he looks serene, eyes closed as they dance. they are lit from above giving the piece a moody appearance, as if dancing alone in a ballroom as magical golden glitter sparkles around them.

for tychon's birthday, july 14th. his "birthday" correlates roughly to his actual creation date in 2020.

Portrait of a blonde elf wearing a black jacket and a green shirt. He has a sidecut on both sides, and the middle of his hair is braided until it forms a bun on the back. There's a pink smoke coming out of the cigarette in his mouth.

Chatbots β€” LLMs β€” do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re β€œright” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.
