A githyanki OC with purple eyes and a red collared shirt. He is looking straight at the viewer and there are purple aster flowers behind him.

A gray-skinned tiefling OC with pure white eyes, white hair, white eyelashes and white eyebrows. Snowflakes fall around him. He is illuminated by a yellow sun as he stands in a snowy background.

A dragonage OC (left) with wavy brown hair and face markings. They have tan skin and freckles and elvish ears. A Baldur's Gate 3 OC (right) with pale blue skin and silvery gray hair and elvish ears. Both OCs are framed in alphonse-mucha inspired frames/backgrounds. Both of them are looking at each other, with the dragonage OC in a sunny simple bg and the BG3 oc in a nightsky simple bg.

Full-body art of Peter and Simon from Roots and Rain, sitting side by side on a bench in a forest glade at sunset. Peter has brown hair and a beard, freckled skin, wooden glasses and green eyes; Simon has black hair and stubble, sallow skin, and blue eyes. They're facing each other with their hands almost but not quite touching on the bench between them. Simon has one hand raised as if he's gesticulating while talking, while Peter watches him with a fond expression.

If you can't come out right now, please don't hate yourself.
One day, the meaning of labels will disappear.

Please love yourself as you are.
The one who can cherish yourself the most is yourself.
Because that is your strength and beauty.
Chiitan loves you

I'll definitely take note of this and show more of my thought process and how I make things. It will be quite revealing of how messy it can be for me 😂

Ive been sharing some nsfw posts lately so uhhh... I hope no minors are following me. Minors be gone! Yeet outta here.

Also I only repost nsfw posts if they have the nsfw filter on because we are all adults here and nobody wants nsfw without a warning, i imagine not even sex workers. 👍

Where Zareb lives, coffee is a luxury import from other countries with more fertile land. He takes it black as his teeth, bitter as can be. Hot like the sun over dead earth. Every new indulgence or comfort that he learns from distant lands is a reminder of what he will bring back to his people.

Time for a #wolqotd ☕

How does your OC like their coffee?

Several images of coffee, all with different levels of creamer added, changing the color

Scam often goes: person uses stolen pfp, often a senior. They ask to commission you to draw their a young family member & they offer to pay a lot but via crypto/nft/bitcoin, telling you to sign up to something to get paid.

One time one of them even sent me actual pics to seem legit? So yeah beware.

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.

wrote 20 pages on Faulkner's The Bear four hours before final papers were due on trucker pills and coffee and cigarettes and got an A, fuck you.
You people couldn't hang with real slackers.
