Honestly yeah! I would open a commission for something like this. Seems fun & unique.

The fact that you can tell that you're gonna be Rick Rolled from the URL says a lot to me about how much you're online. 😂 💜

Not art related but: just spent about 2 hours carefully caulking window seams to hopefully block some of the unseasonable chill.

Apparently my wife's poor nose was cold last night and WE CANNOT HAVE THAT HAPPEN. 🍞 🥇

Practicing some storytelling for my next #zinetober page for #alleynoftrebond

Fun fact! Sentinel shield & Rapier of Warning overlaps in 1 area: ADV on initiative. My group wondered if he'd switch his sword out for something else.

I told them Alleyn would never consider it. Now they know why >=}

I got confused when my wife showed me cause I was like: "haven't they been out for years?" And she responded "not specifically with each other." And I realized that she was right and we both had STILL assumed

Working hard sometimes means hardly working.

Gesture sketches look better when you give yourself as little time as possible.

I think this was a 5 minute sketch & a couple more to do the inks?

Will be used for the new #zinetober page I SWEAR is almost done!

was struck by sudden inspiration to paint everyone's favorite hot boy with watercolors 🎨
#art #watercolors #CriticalRole #CriticalRoleFanArt

a shoulders-up watercolor portrait of Essek Thelyss from Critical Role. he is depicted as a young-looking slender drow with light gray-purple skin and short white hair. there is a silver ornament hooked around his pointed ear, shaped like a small leafed branch. his shirt is filled in with almost black purple ink, allowing his face, neck and right hand to stand out; the hand is up by Essek's face, the fingers touching his lips in a pensive gesture as he looks off to the side. the background behind his head and in the upper right corner is sectioned off and filled in with the same ink as his shirt, balancing the composition and providing a dark backdrop for Essek's light hair.

Ireland has approved plans to permanently implement a basic income program that will support up to 2,200 artists.

A cost-benefit analysis found that for every €1 invested, society receives €1.39 back.

Officials from other countries are now expressing interest in the program.

A little bit of Critical Role Fan art to start the day- Thought it would be fun to do a sketch of Matthew Mercer's upcoming CR4 character, Sir Julien Davinos. Looks super cool, always a big fan of swashbuckling type characters. Wonder what class he will play!

Working on the second page for #zinetober and wondering:

Is the filagree at the top too much? It's me trying to be creative with the color palette.

Alex / Occtis made this expression when Thaisha left him and I literally stopped the group watch so i could screen cap it & redraw it 💜

Occtis is played by: @alexanderward.bsky.social

Original character art by: @solelle.bsky.social

Sketch over of a screen shot of Alex Ward as Occtis in critical role campaign 4 featuring at the empty space left by his friend with a befuddled and constipated expression. The original screencap and a character art are in the top corner.

happy campaign 4 everyone! celebrating with a couple expression studies, for it is a thing that i do

still figuring out everyone's designs, can't wait to draw something more involved!

#CriticalRole #CriticalRoleFanArt #CriticalRoleSpoilers

a page of digital sketches featuring expression studies of characters from the first episode of Critical Role Campaign 4.
at the top, there is Occtis, a young human with wavy shoulder-length hair, looking off-screen with a wide-eyed haunted expression. then Thimble, a pixie with messy short hair, long pointy ears and two whiskers coming off of her eyebrows; she is sobbing, large teardrops rolling out of her glassy eyes. then Murray, a voluptious dwarf with voluminous curls, dramatic eye make-up, and neatly groomed chinstrap beard and chest hair; she is pursing her lips and glaring at someone off-screen.
in the middle, there is Tyranny, a demon with slightly curled vertical horns, goat ears, a long straight bob with very short bangs, and a small goatee. she is saying, unimpressed, "I'm new here."
at the bottom, there is another Tyranny, being held by the soft goat ear by Thaisha, an orc with long kinky hair and prominent tusks. Tyranny seems to be tolerating the ear fondling while Thaisha sobs, "I abandoned my children." in the corner, there is another sketch of Murray, looking at someone off-screen with a doubtful expression, one of the corners of her mouth raised and showing off her glamorous gemstone teeth.
