I was inspired by Kpop Demon Hunters to design my own Vpop group based on the 4 sacred beasts of Vietnam: the phoenix, dragon, turtle and ky lan (aka Qilin or Kirin)!

Design your own Spirit 🌸 that could end up in the game!!! If you’re going to Games Weekend in Wakefield, pick up a colouring sheet and design your own Spirits. You can also grab one and finish it later - we can’t wait to see what you come up with!

Don't give up. Don't you ever give up.

A tweet of mine from May 27, 2021. A drawing of myself running next to Sonic. I'm amazed with stars in my eyes.

"I really want to work on an official #SonicTheHedgehog project one day!! A goal of mine is doing a cover for the IDW comics, so I'm really gonna work hard and hone in on things I want to improve on and try to get there!!

Speak your dreams into truth!! Make them a reality!! ✨"

here's the portrait a couple people asked to see in high res ✨

#myart #art #tf2 #scout #scoutma

a portrait of a very young scout with his mom from Team Fortress 2. Scouts hair is smoothed down and he has a goofy buck toothed smile with wide eager eyes. His mother is behind him smiling in a red dress, bouffant, hoop earrings and blue eyeshadow.

Watch out for the “I wish to politely disagree” AI bots, looking to farm engagement. A recent addition to #bluesky. My advice: block on sight.

The SFF genre has been historically and overwhelmingly white male for most of its history. As an AD I have some small amount of power to hire under represented people and share their incredible work!

I made this starter pack of non-male fantasy artists who you should follow!
