Note to self

jello with a skull in it. text says "i know it was the '70s, but...why would you put that in jello?"

I might keep doing those but then compile into a thread? I think that might work

That makes sense, yes! Also I guess I can do both? And thank you! 😊

Some favourite sketches from a life drawing session with the lovely @davidieuan.bsky.social, from before I left London. Should I start a thread with all my life drawing, or do people prefer separate posts? What's the consensus here?

Haliya, Guided by Light, illustrated by Eleonor Piteira for the Magic: The Gathering set 'Edge of Eternities'. A young black woman dressed in light armour with an orange cape and holding a sci-fi-looking axe, stands triumphantly on top of a pile of dead enemies in dark bulky armours. Behind her there's a flat orange planet against a light purple background with stars, while the silhouette of a ship flies by.

Guess who's a new Magic Artist!! ✨
