Sorry for yapping about this sort of thing, it's only really in the past year or so that I've gained this weight and idk what to do about it

I'd been the same size clothes since I was like 11 so this change is confusing and frustrating to adjust to

I may size up because it's easier to cinch something in than make something bigger

I've never been this weight before man, most of my clothes are size 12

I'm so confused at what my clothing size is supposed to be
Filling websites quick lil thing to guess sizes it guesses I'm size 18 but when I look at examples of people that size I feel like I'm a little bit smaller than that but then I'm like... is it also because of my height too??

Hi #PortfolioDay!

I'm an illustrator from Croatia and I've really been enjoying painting things with stylization, symbolism and pensive characters ✨

Image containing five separate Dragon Age: Inquistion tarot styled pieces. They are:

1) A piece of Tarquin from Dragon Age: The Veilguard holding up a sword and a hand over his chest as if in a knightly oath.

2) A piece of Lucanis and Illario Dellamorte from Dragon Age: The Veilguard standing back to back, hands interwoven and dripping blood.

3) A piece of Lucanis Dellamorte from Dragon Age: The Veilguard lying in a field of blue flowers, seemingly asleep, with a sword stuck in his torso.

4) A piece of Lucanis Dellamorte from Dragon Age: The Veilguard embracing a white wyvern and seeming at ease while the wyvern watches over him like a guard dog.

5) A piece of Tarquin from Dragon Age: The Veilguard stepping out of a line of imperial templars, while dressed as one himself, and turning away with a determined look.

Hey #PortfolioDay!
I’m Eren, fantasy illustrator and character artist. I’m interested in working in TTRPGs, TCGs, games and book covers.
I have done character design and illustration work for Critical Role and other AP shows.
Thank you!🙏

Illustration of Critical Role’s Caduceus Clay and Mollymauk Tealeaf with art nouveau influences.

An illustration re-interpreting the painting “Call to Arms” by Leighton. Jester and Fjord are leaving an elegant building after getting married, followed by Caleb, Essek, Beau, Yasha, Caduceus and Veth, as Kingsley stops them on the steps, seemingly telling them about something important and pointing to the side.
He’s asking them to join on a new adventure or maybe fight an incoming danger.
All of the Mighty Nein are dressed in very fancy clothing, Jester has a beautiful white gown with pink embroidery. Every’s face is either shocked or excited.

In the background, we see various buildings, one showing the “Lavish Chateau” sign.
Many NPC, guest characters and easter eggs are hidden in the image.

Illustration of a knight and his pegasus at sunset.

Illustration of a drow standing in front of a large white snake with wings. The drow has long white hair and dark green clothing with copper accents. He holds a dagger above his head with blue magic arcing between the blade and his hand. They are in the Underdark, with blue spores and mushrooms surrounding them.

Illustration of the fellowship from the Fourth Age actual play. They are at a high altitude looking down into a valley with a river. From left: Theodas (bald elf, many scars, dark beard, golden interlocking armor, dull blue cape); Iairen (elf, medium brown skin, kinky brown hair with undercut and half up style, blue robes, holding a blue palantir); Mistiel (elf with dark brown skin, copper cape, long white box braids half up, golden armour); Eona (human, dark brown long hair with golden scales woven through, leathers and cape, holding a sword); Chicory (hobbit-elfish, lilac dress, pale skin, brown hair in loose waves, holding a wooden staff that crooks over and holds a glowing white stone); Aerlind (elf, dark hair, blue fine outfit, tanned skin, east asian features, holds an astrolabe in one hand).

Illustration from first person view, showing a hand holding up an opalescent stone with a hole in the center. The stone has brass filigree, and through the hole is a view of a mountain sheep. The background is a mountainous landscape. There are slight magical effects showing that the view through the stone is a zoomed in view of the background.

An alabaster gargoyle and a feminine figure dressed in black robes with their faces shadowed by hoods. The pair are within a gothic styled church, standing before an altar on a dais, preaching to spectators behind the POV. Candles cast plenty of light in the room despite the flames being purple, and all the decorations and the architecture is gothic in design. They look as though they are in the middle of performing a sermon in unison

A digital illustration of a scene from AV Wilkes' 'All the White Spaces'. Jonathan, a trans man and the protagonist, stands in the centre, facing the viewer. He stares ahead in horror, his right hand clutching his throat. From his left eye, strands of bleeding red aurora stretch outwards. These auroras show visions of Jonathan's brothers on the Western Front of the First World War:
- A moustached officer smokes a cigarette in a trench, looking away.
- A soldier is twisted in the remains of barbed wire.
- Three soldiers wear gas masks, emerging from clouds of mustard gas.
- No Man's Land exploded to all hell. A tank is submerged in a shell hole in the distance.
- A skull pressed into the earth.
- A soldier holds a rifle and makes his way across the strait of No Man's Land.

Two portrait aligned digital illustrations of book covers.
Left: An illustration of Afaeran and King Galdor from the webcomic Wundor. They stand in the centre, facing each other. They are bordered by Ancient Greek inspired white columns and an arch above them. The columns are covered with grapevines, vine leaves, and hanging purple grapes. Afaerun is an oche skinned elf with flowing light pink-white hair, and wears a curved silver and ruby tiara, he smiles as he looks at King Galdor. King Galdor is a purple skinned monarch with a single white horn growing from his head. He has flowing dark purple hair, and wears a red leaf laurel. He holds Afaerun's cheek in a romantic embrace.
Right: Two male characters stand in front of each other, staring at the other. One is shorter, and wears a mustard yellow jumper, looking annoyed. The other is taller, with frizzy blonde hair, a purple hoodie, and looks smug. A border of cat toys surrounds them. A cat lies down, arching over the two men, and has a smile on his face.

2 different portrait illustrations side by side.
Left: Alder is a green skinned eladrin elf paladin. He stands nude in a forest. He wears a gold crown of laurels on his head. He looks down at the ground. He holds a sword in one hand, and a sprig of alder branch in the other, he has a shield attached to one arm. He is surrounded by green trees and yellow flowers.
Right: A digital illustration inspired by the pairing Hansry (Hans Capon and Henry of Skalitz from the game series Kingdom Come Deliverance). The illustration is influenced by a scene in the 2005 film Pride and Prejudice. It is separated into 3 panels.
Panel 1: Hans Capon looks behind him in quiet shock at his bodyguard Henry.
Panel 2: Henry has touched Hans' ungloved hand with his gauntleted one in a gentle hold. The panel is surrounded by blooming flowers: herbs and plants that Henry can forage on his journey. Marigold, St John's Wort, Valerian, Sage, Chamomile, and Dandelion.
Panel 3: Henry meets Hans' eyes with an unreadable expression. He quietly yearns beneath it.

A double page spread of a comic. The first page shows a twisted tree in the centre, the space between each branch a panel showing a plague blighting a kingdom. The protagonist called Wolfgang is engulfed in the blighted roots of the twisted tree in the throes of a nightmare. A voice tells him "Take heed, young Durward. These lands know only death, and within its centre, a horror festers. It feasts on all its roots can teach, and what life remains dwindles."
The second page shows a close up of the branches of this twisted tree. Between its panels are images of rot, bodies in body bags, dead fish floating, and the branches are infested with maggots. The voice continues "Soon, there will be naught to satisfy its hunger. But for every poison, there is an antidote."

I know people are like "hah we always knew" but like considering they've both been very honest over the years why they kept even just their sexualities secret (harassment and invasiveness by fans) it's no wonder they kept their relationship status ambiguous for so long

reading comprehension n all that, but often it just alienated disabled people, especially as my disability is to do with my eyes not working properly rather than dyslexia (I suspect I have that too but only mildly and isn't the cause of the migraines)

Idk the scene has always been ableist to me

Sasha 🍂 @corvidkusnos.bsky.social · 11h

Yeah, it always came across that way to me too, there's always been this sort of elitism in the literary space that really put me off books and killed my motivation to write at a young age

Not to mention this was often reenforced by teachers at school which I get to an extent, gotta teach kids

Sasha 🍂 @corvidkusnos.bsky.social · 12h

In theory, I love those things about books but in reality, "real" books are so inaccessible to someone like me bc I can't change the font, layout or bg colour, and a lot of the time I need to hear books being read audiobook style bc reading often causes me migraines

A lot of waffle to say I agree

Sasha 🍂 @corvidkusnos.bsky.social · 12h

True, though in my dnd campaign I'm playing a half-elf paladin who doesn't have any of those feats, while in my pathfinder campaign i don't need to worry about those things to get a free reroll each session
