Work in progress pen drawing of a sitting being covered in biomechanical growths while it raises one hand in a gentle pointing pose while the other is on its lap. The lowered hand is flowing into a dripping space looking fluid. In the background are stone structures, some floating

After the days adventures I was dealing with things that needed to get out of my head weighed against exhaustion

A pencil drawing of a boy rising to his feet, head slumped down, looking at the floor with heavy eyes. It's that feeling of not wanting to look up, to hide from things as they are now. The text bubbles read, "It took everything, just to rise. To stand and face the light of reality."

I'm really feeling this right now, but I know it will pass. These phases come and go, I just wish my mind wouldn't take them so seriously.

Thanks! It’s not a DnD thing, but maybe I’ll write out some stats for her so she can be…

Haha!

A digital painting and work-in-progress of a painting I started at the end of last year. We see a star-filled sky at twilight, with a fiery-red light coming from the bottom of the frame where the top half of a fiery individual stands holding a sword to the sky, where a teal green comet falls down towards the point of the sword. The person's rib cage is visible, as a brilliant light is coming from inside their chest which has ignited their skin, bursting forth from their skin, eyes and mouth as they reach upward into the sky.

I wish I may, I wish I might,
use my power to create tonight 🌠 #nightsky

Never again!

Thanks!

A page with various charts showing fantasy loot. 2 pig men illustrations are on there too

Threw together a loot chart for my creature zine because felt it needed something at the end. Like, the creatures gotta drop something when killed, right?

I think the universe is telling me I was right 👀 Perhaps I need to get back to this one.

Digital drawing in white ink against a black background of a roaring tiger's head in profile entering the image from the top left corner. It is confronting an open-mouthed crocodile with one tooth in profile emerging from the bottom right corner. Water droplets are flying around to indicate the croc is bursting out of the water. Both look angry and ready for a fight.
