The final D&D piece I get to share for now, from Forgotten Realms: Adventures in Faerun! Plus the painting (acrylic, 12x16) when it was in progress while I was visiting my in-laws in China this past winter.

I find that I'm overly protective of my community. Someone even hints of spamming, soliciting, or messaging people on my server and I'm watching them like a hawk! I have one of the most relaxed communities & would like to keep it that way. Mama-bear mode activated!

Trying to organize my art supplies in my new studio is proving...interesting. The internal struggle I'm having over wanting to have my supplies at the ready versus have all my pretty things surrounding me is so difficult right now.

This reminds me, I’m on the lookout for a CPA who has experience with freelance artists so I don’t have to explain why mood lighting is absolutely a tax deduction.
TurboTax is about to be integrated into ChatGPT, where customers will be guided through tasks tied to their tax filings or financial profile by the AI chatbot.
TurboTax owner Intuit is also paying OpenAI more than $100 million a year to power AI agents.

Can we stop interrupting what people *don’t* say as “what they really mean”. In no way, shape, or form did I say that using stamps or other brushes, or taking less time to create something, wasn’t art. Explaining my artistic process with something that often isn’t considered art, is hardly putting-
You do have a nice technique, however there is no crime in using premade resources. It's not less beautiful or art just because someone did not take the time to draw every leaf in the tree. In the same way that your work is not art just because you spent more time working on it or declare it to be.

Honestly, if they can't be bothered to write more than a few words to describe their movie/show, I can't be bothered to watch.
"A Pulitzer Prize-winning war photographer is torn between work and family."
That's it? That's the entire movie? I hate playing "guess the premise" with movies/shows.
