I've been debating making a new bsky for my more author-and-book oriented interests, and I'm not feeling it. This is my totality and until better wisdom prevails, I'm going to be a mess of:

📚 Writing
🎨 Art
⚔️ Warcraft, RPGs, TTRPG
🏳️‍🌈 LGBTQIA+ Identity and Pride
⛔🤖 No AI garbage
🎓Science and Culture

The global whaling industry experienced a boom c. 1840-1950 as technology allowed whalers to hunt the Southern Ocean around Antarctica.

Under standard models, we would have expected krill populations to have *exploded*.

Instead, they DROPPED exponentially.

Let's talk about the KRILL PARADOX.

Change in distribution and abundance of southern right whales. (A) Shows historical and contemporary wintering distributions (Figure 1 from Carroll et al., 2018), and (B) shows decline in abundance and subsequent recovery (solid line is the mean, dashed line shows upper and lower 95% CI). Modified Figure 1 from Jackson et al. (2008). Contemporary sightings are divided into regions where large aggregations are seen during winter: Argentina (ARG), Brazil (BZL), South Africa (SAF), southwest Australia (SWA), south central Australia (SCA), and New Zealand sub-Antarctic (NZSA) and regions where sightings are typically of small numbers of individuals per year. The large aggregations are IWC management units and correspond to historical whaling grounds, although another 5 whaling grounds show little sign of recovery. Summer feeding areas are poorly described and so not shown.

Jasper 🐦‍⬛ TTRPG artist @jaspermillerart.com · 1d

Hey, I'm Jasper! I'm a fantasy illustrator from Aotearoa (New Zealand).

I'm always looking for more TTRPG and book projects, so don't hesitate to reach out.

📨 [email protected]
📷 jaspermillerart.com

Illustration of a drow standing in front of a large white snake with wings. The drow has long white hair and dark green clothing with copper accents. He holds a dagger above his head with blue magic arcing between the blade and his hand. They are in the Underdark, with blue spores and mushrooms surrounding them.

Illustration of the fellowship from the Fourth Age actual play. They are at a high altitude looking down into a valley with a river. From left: Theodas (bald elf, many scars, dark beard, golden interlocking armor, dull blue cape); Iairen (elf, medium brown skin, kinky brown hair with undercut and half up style, blue robes, holding a blue palantir); Mistiel (elf with dark brown skin, copper cape, long white box braids half up, golden armour); Eona (human, dark brown long hair with golden scales woven through, leathers and cape, holding a sword); Chicory (hobbit-elfish, lilac dress, pale skin, brown hair in loose waves, holding a wooden staff that crooks over and holds a glowing white stone); Aerlind (elf, dark hair, blue fine outfit, tanned skin, east asian features, holds an astrolabe in one hand).

Two images in one.

First: A stylised illustration of my Rook, Dawes Mercar (short dark hair, green eyes, thick brows, olive skin). He stands with on arm crossed in front of his face, obscuring his mouth, and holds a white silhouette of Solas's dagger. In the background is a Shadow Dragon mural of diamond design in teal, with red chains crossing over. A mural of a dragon emerges from it, passing in front of Rook.

Second: A tarot illustration of the Two of Swords. It has a textured, stylised feel. It depicts Kismet (drow, white curly hair in a shag cut, purple skin, hooked nose) and his sister Zhuthra (white straight hair in a bob cut, purple skin, slightly shorter). They are back to back with stylised white rapiers intersecting through both of their chests. They are both blindfolded. Kismet looks up, and has a tear falling down his cheek. One hand is raised with two forefingers straight, like many depictions of saints. The background is green with an abstract depiction of Rosohna. In the middle top is a white crescent moon and round red moon.

Illustration from first person view, showing a hand holding up an opalescent stone with a hole in the center. The stone has brass filigree, and through the hole is a view of a mountain sheep. The background is a mountainous landscape. There are slight magical effects showing that the view through the stone is a zoomed in view of the background.

Share your couples art ❤️❤️

A darker skinned man with dark long hair kisses the hand of a pale elf with orange hair. The hand is freshly bandaged and slightly bloody. The pale elf is blushing brightly in his cheeks and ear tips

A couple stands facing each other, the tiefling woman on the left is wearing a golden backless gown as the human man on the right holds her hand up to kiss it gently.

A winged elven man on the left kissing his changeling lover passionately in front of a sunrise of wild oranges and yellows. Each wear outfits of dark red/black and are well adorned in golds and rubies.

Fanart of Essek and Caleb from critical role - a male drow holds a cup of coffee in bed with a big smile as a human man leans over to kiss his cheek

Fuck.

A new thing we’re noticing is books where way less happens than you’d expect for their length because of worldbuilding info dumps or long scenes of explaining plans. You get through a 100,000 word novel and realize the whole story was spent picking up magic groceries.

The same experience for any TTRPG storyteller designing a puzzle for their players.

Well, the whiplash is whiplashing. Going from pinup art to authoritarian threats is putting my monkey brain in a panic. Time to close the socials for a bit.
