Ipomoea ✨

#art #dnd #oc #ocsky

A portrait of Ipomoea resting against a bush of ipomoea flowers. Her hair is spread across the blooms and the leaves, and her left hand gently touches a flower close to the shoulder.

Ipomoea is a blue tiefling with gem horns, and long, wavy white hair that sparkles in the shadow. Her eyes have a dark sclera with a white iris. Three small stars shine between the horns.

Twitter/X is a Nazi site.

Do you drink at the Nazi bar?

Do you dance at the Nazi club?

Do you attend Nazi conventions?

No?

Then get off the Nazi site.

question for you guys:

if I sell adopts in small batches, you guys think I'd get good business or is it a no-go??

thinking about it, don't know if I'll be consistent....
but maybe constant interaction and encouragement will work to keep it flowing

I've never shared all of the images from the official SoIaF calendar I did for 2020, choosing scenes that inspired me from across the series. These are all 2ft square oil paintings, and remain some of the most intense, accomplished work of my career. Up first is Ned and Cat under the heart tree.

a painting from the GRRM book Game of Thrones, depicting a couple in medieval style garb, a man and a woman. Both perch on the roots of a huge white tree. He is cleaning blood from his sword, which pools into the abstract shape of a stags head in the water, an omen of things to come.

Not immediately knowing everything is “bad worldbuilding,” a plot hole, etc. instead of…Y’know, a chance to engage with what you’re watching or playing or reading?

It was said many times, but please don't send DMs with "hi" and no follow up 🙏

It immediately reads as "oh, they are going to try to scam me"

ICE must be destroyed 🏳️‍⚧️🏴 @miawong.bsky.social · Sep 8

So a group of trans folks in Portland are trying to secure funds for a property they can use to house homeless bipoc trans women and femmes as well as providing meals to the growing homeless population. Literally anything helps so please donate or spread the word!

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

So it turns out that my roommate (A) who was supporting us has decided to move out and leave us with no support 2 weeks from now. We have no income and won't be able to make rent. I need $2000 as soon as possible.

I'm incredibly disappointed in who has now become my former girlfriend, for abandoning is in our time of need and leaving behind a disabled chronically Ill native trans person and a pregnant person who still needed their help.

I have been recovering from being homeless and displaced in 2023, I was under the assumption I could trust A with helping us until we got back on our feet, but it has become incredibly clear to me that they would rather have their own fears guide their thinking than their morals and values.

I have been applying for jobs since MAY and haven't found anything. I won't be able to cover ANYTHING even if I got hired TODAY for another month because of how job compensation works. I'm DESPERATE to not go homeless AGAIN, ESPECIALLY considering we have a baby due in November!

If you have the means, please please help us.

I just realized that some of the books I worked on are in there but not listed under my name because I'm the artist. Check your writer's name too!

This is hugely important: If you use the Atlantic's author search tool, a TON of comics don't come up because they don't have creators listed. I just found like all my comics work looking directly and it sucks. So, make sure you're very thorough in your search.

Ryan Estrada @ryanestrada.com · Sep 8

I searched libgen itself, and it turns out they have almost every book Iron Circus has ever published. They don't show up in the Atlantic Search because they were uploaded without author names.

@ironcircuscomics.bsky.social authors could help destroy them singlehandedly.

Do it.

Search your name.

Take their money.

It’s yours anyway.

Ryan Estrada @ryanestrada.com · Sep 6

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.

OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.
