WIP, and maybe a bit difficult to parse with the gray sketching lines, but I'm curious if this reads more as the character stepping backwards, or tiptoeing forwards.

This dude rules

ICE and CBP are snatching peaceful protesters off Twin Cities streets.
1/11/26

some of these guys feel that they're showing remarkable restraint by passing up murders they're entitled to commit

MEMPHIS, today…

ICE beat a U.S. Marine Veteran, telling her: “Have you not learned? This is why we killed that lesbian bitch!”

Factorio has two options, Peaceful mode, where the wildlife doesn't attack you but will defend themselves, and no enemies mode where aliens won't spawn in the world at all, though inactive spawners still do.

A white-haired wizard in a blue robe and long beard stands in pitch blackness, lit only by the floating magical light at his shoulder

Just wanted to try something with a pure black background

My brother's SG-1 diorama

My sister-in-law's owlbear mini

Figured I'd post some pics of the gifts I made for my family on my A1 Mini. Been dealing with teething issues with it, but I'm glad with how things have turned out in the end. Gnome is for my mom, the Star Trek TOS laser pistol is for my dad, next post will have my brother and his wife's presents.

Warforged (see fantasy robot/android) that is dressed as a cartoon wizard, with a small purple crystal on his shoulder with legs, and a black and white critter in the background, with a couple trees as well.

I forgot I'd also done a joke piece about Optix I hammered out super quick, just because I thought it would be funny to have a psion dressed like a stereotypical cartoon wizard. Little crystal on his shoulder is essentially the psychic equivalent to a familiar called a psicrystal.

A warforged (read fantasy robot/android) psion character, made for a DnD 3.5 game, holding a pure white staff capped in gold on one end, and golden wire holding a crystal on the other end, other hand outstretched, another crystal set into the palm. A white sarong-style wrap covers their legs, the hem dyed red, with only their feet visible below it. The warforged has a circle of blue metal inset with teal gems placed on the top of the skull, and has glowing green eyes peering out under a slanted brow.

Art for a DnD 3.5 character I made recently. Still a bit WIP, as there's no background yet. They're a psion, a psychically gifted class, and in game, the staff isn't magical, but it fits the aesthetic I'm going with, so hopefully that changes. Say hello to Optix, Warforged Psion.

A large bone colored insect with poison needles in it's arms and a stinger

A monster I designed, called a hummer for lack of a better name.

The character nervously peers out from behind a stalagmite as they hold their torch up high, unaware of the figure in the shadows behind them in the cave they find themself in.

Experimenting again with light and shadow for my second underground piece, but also working with a messier lineless style as well.

A meteor streaks across the night sky

Just a little piece I made while experimenting with GIMP again

Latest Art Fight piece, and probably the last before the month is up, of the character Wren, made by @lucky-frog.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/luck...
Wanted to work with light and shadows on this one.

Barrvatar stands before the Emerald Herald, hearing that most iconic set of lines.

Another Art Fight piece of Barrvatar, in DS2 this time! Was struck by the idea and couldn't help myself from making it. Once again, Barrvatar is a character made by Barry Kramer
bsky.app/profile/barr...

Ida holds an Ace of Hearts in her gloved hand, as she smiles widely and intensely outwards, other hand in her pocket, as she takes a stride to the side.

Another Art Fight piece, done after a previous Art Fight piece, but without explicit permission to post it, I'm skipping to this one of the character Ida, done by shortcakeemoji bsky.app/profile/shor...

A big bee on a leash pulls the character Barrvatar along the ground in an attempt to reach a flower, while a puppet of Barry watches from the side.

An Art Fight piece I did of Barrvatar and Barnabee, both of whom belong to Barry Kramer, who can be found here: bsky.app/profile/barr...
Intentionally scrungly piece, as Barrvatar is an intentionally scrungly character. Also, Puppet Barry cameo on the side.

A space pirate in red armor and a long, ragged blue coat with the sleeves torn off stands holding an energy pistol in one hand, his other hand replaced with a crude mechanical prosthesis, wearing a mask over his lower face

First named character! This is Caulder, a space pirate I made for Art Fight.

A blue ghost on a purple background, looking dejectedly at the ground

Ghost is so sad :(

A shirtless muscular red headed man is chained to a wall in a cell, with obvious bruises and cuts, his face screwed up in pain.

Experimenting with light, unusual body poses, musculature, and wounds.

A goblin kneels behind a stone with his lizard companion, as they try to avoid the notice of the giant spider in the cave ahead of them.

First attempt at an underground scene, most proud of the little lizard guy and the kneeling pose of the goblin in this picture.

A man with a cape stands with folded arms in a grassy field, rolling green hills behind him as he stands in the shade of something off screen

Making characters, part 3, this time featuring a head that isn't based on a sphere!

A basketball player with a worrying shadow figure behind them

Making characters, part two

A bald, bearded man with red wrappings and orange pants stares intently outwards

Started working on making characters, trying to figure out body shapes, head shapes, clothes, etc.

A robed figure looks down at a reflective orb in their hand, their shadowed hood hiding their face.

The hooded figure from the previous picture has their shadow removed, revealing a smiley face under their cowl.

Was working on hands at the time, kinda proud of how the thumb turned out to be honest. Just your average hooded robed figure pondering their orb, honest.

A red haired man stands on the edge of a cliff looking out over a valley with a river and two waterfalls coming down from a mountain in the distance.

Larger landscape, again experimenting with GIMP brushes for texture and coloring

A winter wood with a figure in a snow coat and a holding a pistol making their way along while figures in the distance stand, staring at them.

More experimenting with GIMP, this time with just a pencil brush.
