Caraxes the Red Wyrm

#dragon #HouseOfTheDragon #HOTD #Caraxes #illustration #FanArt #GameOfThrones #ASOIF

Caraxes the Red Wyrm from "Fire and Blood" and House of the Dragon. Caraxes is a long slender red dragon. His head is similar to an alligator with devil horns and a beard of horns. Mid-stride, he walks awkwardly forward with one wing in front. In the distance is the castle Dragonstone and beyond the the sky shows a sunset.

Hey all 👋 my living situation has dramatically changed. I should be fine for a few months, but if you'd like to help me make - significantly increased - rent, then any change would be greatly appreciated.

Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world,... I feel like I can't take it. And my heart is just going to cave in.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industry

Paul McCartne, Elton John and others signed an open letter.

This doesnt surprise me at all

If I had extra money coming in, I'd have money to spend

If I'm struggling for every penny, why would I buy anything I don't need?

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

I'm so tired

🎃 Spooky Gerard Draws 🎃 @gerarddraws.bsky.social · 5d

like yeah they are greedy, obviously that's the answer

but even a 3rd grader could tell you that a homeless person can't buy a car, so how the heck is that usefull to a society obsessed with money

🎃 Spooky Gerard Draws 🎃 @gerarddraws.bsky.social · 5d

like this is so obvious it's insanley frustrating that it's just now being implemented

like it's seriously insane

if all these rich people are obsessed with money why WOULD'NT you give MORE MONEY to the people that are SPENDING THE MONEY by buying the things they are selling

It’s my birthday! 🎉 May I be so bold as to ask to share my art?

Below I’m going to drop some links (ko-fi tip jar, portrait commissions, contact for freelance) as all kinds of support are incredibly appreciated in these trying times! 💖

A selection of nine portraits - mostly commissioned by various clients as well as two personal pieces. They’re all done digitally in painterly style with visible brushstrokes and deep colours. There are vampires, vieras, elves, lizards, dragons and other humanoid but ethereal creatures.

I haven't really been making much new stuff so here's an old study.

A painting of Brad Dourif as Grima Wormtongue in the Lord of the Rings movie.

how intolerant of you to ask others in power to do better, don't you know that hurt their feelings?

🎃 Spooky Gerard Draws 🎃 @gerarddraws.bsky.social · 5d

jokes aside this is huge news and I'm so happy for all the artists that can get the support they deserve!

I hope this program is so wildly sucessful it can't be ignored
