A tweet from “Mara @wydmara” says: “Can we have this button fuckng everywhere.” Below is a tweet from “lumi @dainlou” saying: “can we have this button on Pinterest plz,” with an image of a toggle switch labeled “Exclude AI,” switched to the “on” position.

Stop the slop.

Earlier last year I had the honor of working with Sterling Ethos on an illustrated fae compendium written by folklorists Brittany Warman and Sara Cleto. The book won’t be available until next year, but here’s a little sneak peek of the image I painted for the cover! ✨

A woman with a plaintive expression holds out a pomegranate half. A dense briar of branches sprout from an opening in her chest and surround her, with only the hand holding the pomegranate emerging from the briar.

My next presentable watercolor attempt, after a few more flubs and restarts. 😅 I still have a *lot* to learn, but I'm really enjoying the process along the way.

Figure study for SEAWALL featuring a girl in white shirt and shorts patterned with 5-pointed pink blossoms. She holds a blue rubber ball at her hip. Next to her, the broken base of a street sign juts out of the concrete.

I imagined a young girl looking off to an uncertain future to represent the next generation facing global climate change. I wanted a photo reference but my daughter Alexa was grown up and off finishing grad school. 1/3

A comic in four panels: Panel 1. A dark and mystical laboratory, with shelves lined with dusty jars of oddities and strange artifacts, a dark witch, dressed in tattered black robes, is tired, her desk scattered with parchment and strange devices. She looks frustrated and confused. On a perch near to the desk stands a colorful mechanical parrot that contrast with everything. > Witch: Of course, we wanted crows, and the university gave us this... Panel 2. Close-up on the parrot speaking cheerfully: > Parrot: :sparkle emoji: Greetings. I am a conversational Avian Intelligence model, developed by OpenMagic to assist you with your spells. > Parrot: What can I help with? Panel 3. The witch's face looks at the mechanical bird with annoyance. > Witch: "Shut up, you... thing." Panel 4. The parrot continues. The witch now have her face against the desk. > Parrot: ":sparkle emoji: I apologize, but I won't engage in conversations with hurtful language. Can I assist you with something else?"

The new feature nobody wanted

Black and gray pen and marker drawings of four dragon headshots.

Felt like sketching some dragon heads :>

Turned 33 yesterday and had a great time celebrating! I understand the ancient laws on this website states I can ask for retweets for my work on this special day? Haha.

Cheers!

If they are being honest? I cannot emphasize enough what a terrible idea it is to use "the machine that tricks people" to generate "placeholder material" you intend to replace. You are just making everyone else's job harder by effectively hiding what needs to be replaced

A frame from the 1973 movie Badlands, depicting actor Martin Sheen sitting on a sofa with a cigarette drooping from his mouth, speaking into a microphone.

Try to keep an open mind. Learn how to solve perspective problems, but try to avoid drawing things where you'd encounter such problems

Detail from SEAWALL featuring a girl staring down a concrete causeway that descends into the rippling ocean. She wears shorts patterned with pink 5-pointed blossoms and a plain white shirt. Long blonde hair falls to her waist. Beside her the concrete curves. Rusty rebar sticks out forming a railing with yellow caution stripes where the metal hasn’t snapped off.

In this week’s newsletter, we dive deep into magical waters for the making of SEAWALL. If you enjoy process features, you don’t want to miss this one!

✨ raku day ✨

Sunday vibes.

Stylised bust of a young, fair-skinned woman with a soft expression. Her hair is somewhere between brown and red, loosely wavy and braided over one shoulder. She has burn scars down the right side of her face and neck and appears to be blind in that eye; the other is grey-green. Her clothing is simple, a brown vest over a white blouse. She wears a silver necklace with two pendants: a locket and a battered emblem of The Silver Hand

TW: scars, burns

Moreta, a #Warcraft commission this time! 😌

I saw a post this morning somewhere about trying to draw an upturned chin from below and yeah - that's a tough one!

You need to rely a lot on shading the form rather than lines for this usually. Beards can be a nice cheat. 😋

Here's a few refs to try today if you want the challenge. ⭐

The Creature from Frankenstein by Guillermo del Toro. It shows the creature embracing himself into a warm hug. He wears a fluffy coat and it's shaped like a leaf, the one he gave to Elisabeth. He also has a small ember on his chest.

Floating leaf. Gracias @realgdt.bsky.social 🍁
