Dreg Catcher from Hollowknight: Silksong in my Bugworld style.

I'll hopefully do more of these, but I'm still exploring the game

My housemate just defeated Groal earlier this evening, after several days. It was pretty rewarding to see him bring this guy down.

Also, your elaboration of their design is quite striking. You’ve really brought them to life. 🤩

The Orphan Crusher is here to stay. If we don’t feed more Orphans to the Crusher the Orphan Crushing industry will die. It’s time to wake up to the reality of the Orphan Crusher. The Orphan Crusher is worth billions. We need to teach people to use the Orphan Crusher. It’s here to stay.

I've often wanted a Monster Manual that showed creatures in their environment, demonstrating skills that they are known for.

Today, I've resurrected my favorite dwarf adventurer, Husky Thunderbolt (from 2019's Inktober entries), who will soon realize what a clever trapper the Ettercap is.🕸

Inktober, Day 8, "Reckless": I may have been a little reckless inking such an ambitious image over afternoon tea, but I've wanted to realize this drawing of a D&D Bulette since I first sketched it back in 2006.

Inktober, Day 9, "Heavy": This is the heaviest character I could think of. It is a revisit to one of the first color prints I offered way back in 1993 at my first Gen Con Art Show, on the heels of the release of the AD&D "Monstrous Manual". 🎨

My therapist has to remind me constantly that just because I'm anxious something may happen doesn't necessarily mean it will.

To be clear, it's not that bitter online dorks assumed it was about them. It -is- about them. They just don't like that it is calling them out for what they are.

It’s kind of crazy that Nazis and the KKK have recently become controversial bad guys because a bunch of bitter online dorks assumed it was about them

Ubisoft canceled an ‘ASSASSINS CREED’ game set in the post-Civil War era

• Featured a Black Assassin who was formerly a slave

• Players would fight the emerging KKK

• Leadership canceled it after concerns with U.S. political climate & Yasuke backlash

To further elaborate on this, the goal of everyone in this administration is the mass extinction of millions of Americans.

It doesn’t matter what they say they actually want.
Because they are conservatives.
Conservatives lie all the time, because lying to people makes it easier to kill them.

RFK's goal is to kill children, specifically sick children.

If you assumed that was *not* his goal, you'd think that he was failing at an entirely, completely different goal: not killing children.

A lot of folks struggle with this idea:

If you turn some quality into an assault on people you don't like, you have communicated to the people you *do* like who have that quality that the only thing protecting them from the same treatment is that you favor them... and that's bigotry in a nutshell.

The growing suspicion that I was designed with public library service in mind and outside that field I’m just… adrift.

An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.
