And I do like it, including the world building. It just takes a long time for me.

He is very, very fond of world building. This is why it's taking me so long to read the Stormlight Archive.

In case any of you don't know what I'm talking about: they discovered a spinosaurus in the Sahara with a prominent crest like a unicorn horn, and my inner child is LIVING for it!

A pencil drawing with wax pigment highlights of a plump, feminine-presenting gnome drawn from the chest up, one arm raised to cradle a seven pointed Faerie star, her expression curious, concerned and open as she gazes upon it.

Cropped painting of a werewolf with their clawed hands raised to the moon and devouring a star in it's maw.

Preview of a painting I'm working on.

Brandon Sanderson would not be massively popular if this were the case.

This was the real Twice cameo.

Oooh! I've seen a lot of good feathered dinosaur art lately.

Maybe a sparkly rainbow unicorn spinosaurus would have irridescent feathers?

A red and black raptor in the jungle snatching a fish from a river while the raptor's human handler laughs and shields herself from droplets.

Close up of the raptor and it's fish to show small details in the painting and water splash.

My husband's out trying to befriend a lost dog who's been sleeping on our neighbor's porch so he can get close enough to read the phone number on the collar.

A man of quality.

A collection of illustrations of crocodiles and alligators against a soft green and yellow background. They are playfully either swimming or loafing around, playing with fish, taking care of their young and chilling in the water. The crocodiles and alligators are mostly green and yellow, save for an albino alligator. They’re so loving and fun, these toothy friends!

A photo of an open black paper sketchbook, placed on a wooden desk and surrounded by a paint brush, paint tubes, coloured pencils, crystals, leaves and branches. The sketchbook page features paintings of three different fictional organisms: the top left one of cone-shaped wooden structures with purplish-pink liquid in them; the top right one of glass-like luminescent green mushrooms; the bottom left one of glowing white-blue flowers with drop-shaped bluish leaves. Each organism is assigned a symbol that is then elaborated on in a glossary on the bottom right of the page. The writing is in a fictional alphabet.

Strange organisms. Which one’s your favourite?

Absolutely!

Illustration by KitsuneArt, limited colour palette (blue and yellow/gold). Frodo and Sam from the Lord of the Rings movie (the Two Towers) standing in the ruins of Osgiliath, holding hands. On top of their heads Sam's words, handwritten by KitsuneArt: "There is some good in this world and it's worth fighting for".

"But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. [...]"

"...There’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it’s worth fighting for."

3 sketches on a thin page, the top is the roughest one, of a person skating with oneleg bent and the other straight, arms in front of them. The second is a sketch of someone upright with one leg extended slighly out to the side, their chest and head point towards the extended leg The last sketch is of a skier, with both legs together and their ski rods beside them

IMPORTANT NEWS UPDATE:
That wolf-dog at the Olympics is named Nazgul.

A waist-up art piece of a person in armor holding up a sword defensively. Ilya Petrovic (they/them) is a former soldier from the kingdom of Avalri. After they were dishonorably discharged for going against their superiors, they joined a resistance against the crown to fight for a better future for the kingdom. Polite and well-mannered, they now serve as a general in the resistance and work toward achieving justice for the common folk against the nobles.

“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”

A former soldier, Ilya no longer fights for the crown, but rather for the common folk.
