Ok, introduction post time!

Hi, hello! I’m Alison!

I’m an Artist, Art Director, player of TTRPGs, and fan of all things creative and fantastical.

I’ve been very busy the last few months (and super excited about it), but now I’m hoping to re-up with more art and interaction💙
Me: Ah yeah, let me finally make that half-orc OC thats been rattling around my head

Hand: Sure, sure. But first, a fairy.

So yeah, some more new OCs entering the development queue.

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.
It’s been sorta between a spritz and drizzle for the last few hours, which is good enough for me.
I suspect it’ll pass/burn off soon, though.
This may be an Unpopular Opinion. But I’m an east coaster by birth and don’t care.

Also, I had a teacher I adored in middle school that always celebrated Rainy Fridays, so I carry that with me.
A scribbly Emmrich this morning, as I play around with some new procreate brushes and warm up.

Don't think so, especially since I've only played 13 Sentinels and the first like hour of Unicorn Overlord.
Picked up the BG3 art book, and sweet lord is it gorgeous. I love seeing the progression and iterations, and also just all the brushwork in the concepts.
Truly beautiful inspiration.
I can dodge spoilers for games like no one's business.
And yet GBBO spoilers somehow manage to be unavoidable week after week 😭

I'm also working my way through learning it!
I'm loving Cloudward so much. There's a whimsy that is just infectious.

Never Stop Blowing Up is also up there. I love all the action movie tropes.
List 3 things you can talk about for 3 hours with no prep!

💫 Dungeons & Dragons
Especially my lvl 1-20 campaign, Dimension20/Critical Role, BG3, and narrative design

Mostly Phantom of the Opera, let's be real

💫 Top Chef
And Cooking in general!

💜 Sonic (I have actually written essays on this blue rat, I'm not joking, I am in deep)

💜 My OCs (Not a day where this isn't on my mind)

💜 Random tech facts (I watch too much YouTube)
Such a satisfying color palette!

I tweaked the color balance a bit to make Beau and Yasha pop more. But otherwise, a 15 minute pose and my favorite of the night.

It can be so tough! And everyone is doing such cool stuff, and my brain is just doing 👀❤️‍🔥and holding itself back from even creating silly things to share.
And while I do feel more comfy here than I did on other sites, it’s still hard to shake the feeling of Needing to engage/produce.
Ugh so true and real. I know I’m just hardest on myself, and that colors a lot of things. But it’s so helpful to be reminded of these things and that so many of us share these experiences.
Thank you both! It really means a lot.

I think the hardest part for me is not feeling guilty when I don't have the spoons to always be on, replying, sharing.
I’d love to join some friendly and supportive artist discord servers, if anyone has recommendations. I’m a little shy around new folks and can become incredibly busy (and therefore quiet) very quickly.

But yeah. I desperately want more community, but am nervous and fear rejection 😅
I want to get better about being more sociable here and with all you incredible artists in general.

My Neurospicy brain makes it tough sometimes. I’m often a little overwhelmed by trying to make comments, share work (because I haven’t done as much this year), and generally be present.
