Artist or whatever. Tired. Needs a haircut. Is probably thinking about Interview With The Vampire right at this very moment. Made in Scotland. https://possumsmadethis.carrd.co/

Thank you for the kind words!

That was exactly the vibe I wanted, the sense of a man made small by grief

I need you to understand what this country feels like right now for those of us who look different. I'm sitting here, trying to plan for Saturday, make sure I don't even need to go to the corner shop for milk, like it's Christmas Day or lockdown. Why? Because I live near where Yaxley-Lennon will 1/

I cannot overstate just how awful this stupid fucking bill proposal is

- adding backdoors into encryption on OS level
- "sniff" every single message before it gets encrypted AND SAVE IT CENTRALLY
- let a goddamn hallucinating "AI" mark people as criminals

it needs to be stopped, post haste

Fundamentally, we must acknowledge that the people who stirred up anti-trans prejudice don't have "reasonable concerns" and have no interest in any compromise that lets trans people "live their lives with dignity and in a safe and accepted way". That's the very opposite of their goal.

Every time I see someone showing off how they had GenAI do a Thing, this is what it ends up being like.

Andor s2 speed sketch OF MY WIFE

Greyscale chalks & ink wash speed sketch of Kleya (Elizabeth Dulau) framed by a loose Rebel Alliance symbol in navy blue gouache. Kleya is my (other) beloved wife and has never done a single thing wrong in her life.

I could have given him any facial expression I wanted but unfortunately I was painting while listening to a playlist titled "gloomcore" so now we have: Zhuge Liang, avatar of crushing depression

#zhugeliang #rot3k #threekingdoms

A greyscale portrait of history's most long suffering strategist, Zhuge Liang, as played by actor Lu Yi. There is no life in those eyes at all. I gave him a nice little hairpin as an apology for making him look so fucking depressed, I'm sorry bby

I (the me, not the character) absolutely loved working on this one, I really had a lot of fun with it ^_^

Tfw the combination of ADHD and @naturalsix.bsky.social accidentally turns you into a better artist

A colour painting of a D&D party against a stylised background of thorns and mist. A mountain looms in the background. The party Kobold is the littlest guy.

Yeeessssss :D it was what finally prompted me to pick up digital after several failed forays, precisely because it does feel so organic and responsive- as a long term fan of traditional/ physical art, Rebelle felt accessible enough to demystify digital art for me. Glad you're enjoying it!

Hey artists! QRP with your sketch vs final

Sketch/ layout plotting with an oval in the centre. A series of childlike blobs and squiggles form the background, if your imagination is good enough.

A lovingly rendered greyscale portrait of my wife, Cidolfus Telamon, wreathed in purple & grey stormclouds. He has a shitty little smirk on his face, as usual.

child of decay 🔴
[Sheireen | OC ]

[ #dndoc #OCsky #illustration #dndart #KuroArt #PaintTheCanvas ]

illustration, painted in warm grays and reds, of Sheireen (OC - a drow woman of undefined age, with rot exposing the flesh of the left side of her face and hand) wrapped in a dark shawl blown by the wind. In the background, a barren land with a tower crumbling in the air against the backdrop of a red moon.

I once did an a4 pencil portrait of Aymeric and my right hand was half black by the time I finished his hair, I looked like I'd been rootling around in a bag of coal. It was the best of times, it was the best of times 😌

Still one of my all time favourite games ever made!

I did try running it on an emulator for nostalgia reasons and playing with keyboard controls - I don't think I made it past Ridley before I snapped and ordered a USB SNES controller.

3 months ago, I wrote this about centrist parties aping the far right, and how it's not just immoral, but suicidal. This is not secret knowledge. It's the most reliable effect in world politics. It's watching 40 guys getting killed by the same gorilla, one by one, and stepping up to take your turn.

You accept the far right’s entirely false premise that immigrants increase crime, that the housing crisis is due to migrants rather than your own bad policies, or that foreigners are swamping the health service, rather than holding it up with their bare hands in the face of your own drastic underfunding of the system.

And you become less popular. You, the sensible moderate, continue to slide in the polls against the very parties whose policies you were trying to steal.

A sizeable number of your own base are appalled, and you have failed to impress a single racist.

Because everywhere, from France to Germany to the Netherlands to the UK, as with Fanta and its supermarket imitators, it turns out people prefer the original to the copy.
