Every time someone says she has no character development, or just dismisses the story entirely, I make a painting like this out of spite. "That'll show you!" I say to myself, not understanding entirely how I'm teaching anyone a lesson by making this. Also: sympathy for goblins is NOT her big flaw

Yazdil yes, but I don't know anything about that guy's hand gestures. It's just a general scheming pose thing

Given the people who run this place are transphobic crypto fascists who kick trans women. Let’s promote Gretchen’s work on here for her. She has a new book out. It looks really cool, you should grab a copy and help her out, and also you’ll get to read a cool book bookshop.org/p/books/blac...

100 endings

I've been going down a 3d rabbit hole the last month or two, so I haven't done a lot of 2d paintings. I promise I have at least one more coming that's already mid-progress!

Extremely excited for the inevitable filibuster of Chris Kluwe simply reading out loud the entirety of The Wandering Inn

I wouldn't say the LGBTQ content is "significant" but only because I wouldn't say its straight content is significant either; for most of the story it feels like everyone in the world just forgot romance is a thing that happens

lol I'd completely forgotten about Ceria/Zevara/Olesm, although tbh if anything I'd call the story itself extremely ace. Erin reads as a very sex repulsed ace (aro is tbd) and the story itself reads like it was written by someone who isn't actually interested in romance either.

A highly off-spec sketch of a cheeky-looking Hornet from Hollow Knight is adorned with a hand-written caption "repost to delay Silksong"

Jests aside: there's a near-infinite number of videogames so personally I would always take a good game one year later over a buggy one next week.

It pains me whenever a well-known reviewer gives up after a few chapters and then makes a video to laugh about how bad it is. I have much longer thoughts, but all I can say in 300 chars is that I hope, in some small way, my art somehow can help prove it's actually very good. (how? dunno. but it is!)

special flourishes that literally cannot be spoken. Nothing critical, just some neat added flavor that only works in web format--the narration doesn't do anything special for those, although having a performance like Andrea's is itself a dimension that the web version can't do.

If you're obtaining them only now, then the audible and web versions will be the latest versions, revised in 2023. However, for reasons unknown, the kindle version remains as the old version, written in 2016. Andrea's an excellent narrator, though I prefer the web version as it has some...

Clouds loom high over a distant lighthouse. A small sailboat passes in the foreground, and above a massive woman towers in the clouds, flanked by two owls. The woman is surrounded with pale drapery that mimics the color and shape of the clouds. She looks down upon the lighthouse and boat.

An illustration of an old robed man blowing onto his cane. Magic pours out of it and into the sky, carrying upon it the visible figures of a stout bearded man, a young couple, and a man holding a skull. The old man rides upon a boat carrying a multitude of items, such as a crown, a cauldron, and a tree branch. Below the boat is the curvature of the earth, glowing blue as blue streaks of light fall upon it.

O brave new world! First project for my SmArt School class with Cynthia Sheppard. Any idea what's happening here? Maybe the quote already gave it away.

the Final Fantasy MTG cards look nice, but I think this is too much flavor text for a card

Like yeah it's nothing if you compare it to GoT but that's still not something I'd be comfortable with a child reading, depending on how young they are.

The first handful of chapters have Erin foiling an attempted SA by dunking a guy's head in boiling oil. There's also the Mating Rituals chapter later which may be marked but the kids aren't necessarily going to know to avoid that. And then there's Tremborag's women prisoners.

Uh, for anyone reading this, while I love TWI, it is absolutely not child friendly, not even if you restrict it to the first book.

This statement about the transphobic Supreme Court ruling by the UK's Crab Museum (yes a museum about crabs) is better than 99% of the statements I've seen on the topic

A large ocean wave is about to overtake a bedraggled man in a weathered rowboat. He looks distressed about this, knowing he's not going to be able to get clear of the wave in time.

We peer through ornate curtains at a king kneeling before a man in armor who stands before him. The king gazes up at the knight and is in the process of shrugging out of his ornate robes, which trail behind him. The knight cradles the king's face in one hand, and the king has a hand on the knight's armored leg.

Hi #portfolioday! I'm Julie Dillon, and I'm a freelance artist working mostly on MtG cards and book covers. Here are a few personal paintings I've done in the past year. :)
