There is a 10 point buck that comes around. He very cool to look at. A couple of months ago a Fawn started to follow him around. Now whenever you see this mighty king, a prince is always bounding after him. #wildlife

Topaz dragon illustration design sheet I painted. I know the wings are going to take some adjusting to so bear these words in mind: it also has floating crystals; itโ€™s a magic man.

Next in the Gem Dragon illustrations I did for Dungeons & Dragons The Book of Dragons is my favorite. You may have noticed the somewhat controversial design feature but instead of cowardly โ€˜fixingโ€™ it, I leaned all the way in.

This is dragon 2 of 5

OH, those were super early notes: Slightly more refined version.

RJ Palmer did a fancy version of my Topaz design from.. four or five years ago now? Glad he kept the reverse wings. THEY SWIM. At least that was my excuse at the time. (Original Concept sketches):

HAH. Well done. Glad you didn't chicken out. And feel free to throw the original designer under the bus if you need to.

If it doesn't work... I have a deck that needs washed/stained. But only if you need too.

I haven't played much solo. Usually just hop on with my brother and ride his coat tails while I play the glass cannon and we pick up a random third. If you ever want to join us we are on PS.

He makes it look easier than it is, but I started to get the hang of it. Hard to give up the flash and slot-machine-like joy of magic spells though.

My brother has mastered the Bird, well he is a souls freak so he has mastered everything. BUT, he was teaching me the other day. Heavy block. Just o+ block, reflect (special ruin), and guard counter when you can. Stack all the guard counter bonuses you can get. Start rolling at low stam.

24.07.2025 22:17 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

I feel like the Birds heavy block + reflect damage + guard counter is so much beefier. Especially for tanking. I always feel like the only good time to parry is if the other two members have fallen already. That said I tend to play duchess and recluse so, I could be out of line here.

Letโ€™s Be Clear: Artists & Creators Must Have Transparency NOW! Every single day we donโ€™t have transparency, the value of copyright loses ground and the harms inflicted to creative industries grow. California has always been on the forefront of policies that can ...

Friends, we got a call to action ๐Ÿ‘‡

We have the right to know when and how our creative works are used, especially when it comes to GenAi!

This is why we need regulation like Californiaโ€™s Ai Copyright Transparency Act #AB-412 !

If you agree, especially if in CA, please sign & share this petition!
