Thanks Alex but hey, the way I see it, the illustration pissed off all the right people so I must be doing something right

Oh my god that illustration has been out since June last year and not once has "beerholder" occurred to me, THANK YOU

It's official artwork commissioned by D&D, so it's not wrong

Photo of character sheet on an ipad, a couple of D20s and a ongoing combat on a grid map

Ironically I've been busy today because I'm playing D&D with a bunch of gays, you can't make this up

Overwhelmed by all the responses, ty and sorry if I can't reply to everyone!

To be clear, this was a knee jerk reaction - I'm not sure yet what can be done bc it's official D&D artwork, maybe it falls under "fair use"?? (As lame as that headline might be)

Idk. Rest assured I'll look into it tho

I was commissioned by WotC to do it for D&D Pride, so it's official artwork

Just for Pride merch (playmats, t-shirts) and they donated the proceeds to the trevor project :)

Oh I hate that it was the sun if all places, but I love that outcome for you!

On it 🤝

Tbqh its largely passed me by 🤞 I'm never on twitter, I only realised it was happening from a rogue tag. Other than an email saying I was going to hell (lol) + an uncomfortable situation where someone posted a photo of me to try to decide if I'm cis (?), haven't had much directed at me

Article image description reads "D&D artwork released for Pride month, depicting an elf and a demon in a romantic embrace" (it's half-elf and a tiefling. Romantic is right though)

"An elf and a demon" is so funny. I guess we're just letting whoever write whatever... Mr. Power, your story is yours to tell 💛

Time to invoice the telegraph for using my illustration, I guess

I'm in a pack 💛 and in GREAT company too

Thank you for including me, Eren!! I need to take this as a sign to be more active here! 🙏

Aw thanks! I'll definitely try to make something happen with this illustration 😊

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?"

more concept art!

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! 😊

A 3/4 portrait sketch of a man with a mustache, done with coloured pencil in blues, yellow and pink.

A colour pencil sketch of a nude man on his knees, arms hanging as they touch the floor, in shades of purple and blue

A colour pencil sketch of a nude man, sitting back in a relaxed pose, in shades of pinks and blue

A quick sketch of a man standing with an arm up and over his head, and a leg up propped onto a bed

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?

I'm crediting the amazing Sami artwork I was shown as reference 👀

Aww thanks you Dennis!

Oh I'm so glad you're enjoying it! The music is so good

Lá estamos os dois ahah 🌌

New one for @magic.wizards.com and it MOVES! SO happy to be a tiny part of the Edge of Eternities release!

Full illustration coming soon 🌌

Hey! Yeah I should be posting soon :) thank you so much! I'm really happy with how the finished thing turned out!

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!! ✨
