This better be an exceptionally well-drawn Big Ben, rather than a photo of it! 😁

Good work!
That D&D trio feels like such a fever dream. Out of the blue Dex had three pals for tabletop RPGs, only for the blonde guy to stop existing by the time boy genius tried to attend a Star Trek convention with the remaining two in tow, for whom it would prove to be their last appearance.

The Amazing Digital Circus fanart. Gangle is hard at work painting a lewd figurine of Jax in a maid outfit, all while the real Jax is standing right behind her, malding and seething.

Gangle at her not-so-secret figurine workstation. Turns out that making #TADC fanart is more challenging than drawing paper bears - who would have guessed?

Teri, the paper bear from "The Amazing World of Gumball" cartoon, imagines herself as a bunch of characters from "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim" video game.

TES: VI won't be out for a while, so that wraps up my streak of Teri-fying post-Daggerfall TES games.

Sneaky! 😀

That makes a lot of sense - OG Peridot is already as close to an Irken as one can get without just taking direct cues from Invader Zim cartoon - down to being heavily dependent on technology just to function on an adequate level.

Fitting that this took place on deviantART, given how the owners of that site embraced AI and allowed it to run amok.

I've seen a couple of skilled artists who opted to train AI on their own work in order to churn out stuff faster - except all of it ended looking very generic and samey.

That's some good stuff - his original cartoony self has this uncanny vibe of someone trying to draw regular people after years of drawing nothing but cartoony porn.

So good to see you here, as well! 😀

Paper bear Teri from "The Amazing World of Gumball" cartoon show imagines herself as a lineup of characters from The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion video game.

I had so much fun with the previous, Morrowind-themed piece that I had to draw another while moving to the next video game.

Woah! Now that's a clever take on those two.

Traditional artwork of a paper bear Teri from "The Amazing World of Gumball" cartoon is sitting at her school desk, imagining herself as various characters from The Elder Scrolls: Morrowind - either wearing precious clothing, or an ornate elven armour, or a garb of nefarious cultist.

Self-absorbed student has found an alternative use for school time - like daydreaming about video games.

AND firing thousands of IRS workers while everyone else scrambles to file their taxes! 😆

Oh good lord - I would have never expected to see a homage this brilliant for such a show. ☺️ You did a terrific job.

Teri is wielding hand sanitizer station as a makeshift mace and a transparent sneezeguard as a shield. Floor of the hallway is littered with battered lesser demons of Nurgle, their efforts to spread filth and disease averted.

Probably this site needs just a few more Elon Musk Moments, but the moment is as good as any.

Thanks! Painting this had been quite satisfying.

Brief respite from drawing paper bears - all in order to improve my workshop a bit.

Replacement fits so well that, watching it now, I never would have guessed that there was someone else's 'contribution' beforehand. 🙂 By the looks of it, several sites also did a little cleaning of their own to purge traces of said "individual's" presence from their pages.

I think I saw earlier stage on Tumblr few days ago. Amazing how the dragon glows with all the light that shines through its wings!

Given the ever-increasing list of things that can go wrong with this wreck in a moment's notice, it's honestly a miracle that it can withstand direct sunlight!

Uploading an updated version of bsky.app/profile/maci... - with more consistent colouring and contrast, as well as a halo 'painted' through removing watercolor with a wet brush.

Respectable and level-headed commentary on even the most delusional of cranks is admirable... but not exactly entertaining, is it?

An alternate way to obtain high-end designer clothing, though definitely not without some opposition! Hopefully this brings me closer to a 'finished' piece in a greyscale pen+marker technique.

So far so good! Very thin ink lineart tends to disappear completely under watercolor - therefore I wouldn't worry too much about these lines being noticeable at this stage.

Watercolor does well to teach this bit of wisdom - given how light is almost always the first thing to be painted.

Well, at least this picture posted as a reaction to this observation is receiving its fair share of attention. ☺️ So that is nice, I guess.
