Eyepatches aren’t automatic that the eye is lost. Pirates shielded one eye so that their sight wasn’t impaired when it was darker out since that eye was already used to it.
The peg legs and hooks I have no reason for except they are cool?

And at last, I'll let a site that has all countries help lines.
It goes from depression, suicide and other kind of problems. Seems pretty accurate for France so I think it's maybe ok for the other coutries too. Take care everyone 💗

autumn vibes 🍃🍂🍁

doodles of several autumnal pigeons. from centre, going clockwise:
a pigeon in a brown patterned woolly sweater with a hot coffee
a pigeon knitting a yellow scarf
a pigeon in a brown apron and green apple-print oven gloves looking proudly at a pie it holds
a pigeon dressed as a ghost
a pigeon in a yellow raincoat with a yellow umbrella and booties happily jumping in a puddle
a chill pigeon in a green bobble hat walking along holding a basket of apples
a pigeon peeking out from within a pumpkin
a pigeon reading a book, draped in a green blanket

there are autumn themed little doodles accenting the image: mushrooms, leaves, acorns, pumpkins, orange slice, cinnamon, apples, pinecone

Reminder that September is National library card month, so you should totally go get a library card! Yes, they have books, but many also have dvds, cds, video games, game systems, hot spots, streaming services, ebooks, audio books, park passes, museum passes, and more! Maybe it's time for a visit!

Are you an AI hater? Then these pins are for you! Just dropped in my shop! Made from eco-friendly recycled acrylic. ✨ shop.breelundberg.com/product/anti...

Photo of round-ish acrylic pin badges on backing cards. The pins are circles with the letters "AI" crossed out. There are two color versions. One is pink and dark blue, the other is green and light blue.

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.

OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

It's my birthday! 🍰
May I ask for art shares on this fine day 💜✨

As a bonus, I've been wondering, is there any particular character or theme you'd like to see me draw in the future? If so, let me know!

#art | #hades | #baldursgate3 | #dragonage

a digital illustration of Zagreus and Chaos from Hades (Game). Zagreus is floating above Chaos' outstretched hand in the middle of ruins. He's reaching one hand up towards a boon symbol of Chaos. Chaos' face looms big in the background. The entire picture is accentuated with purple details

Tarot card illustration of Zethino, a dryad from Baldur's Gate 3, representing the Ace of Cups card. Zethino is standing in a lake, holding a cup with 5 streams of water falling out of it, she's facing forward, eyes closed, reminiscing, she's surrounded by water lillies, a tree behind to the left and a waterfall behind her. A stylized white dove is directly above the chalice. The atmosphere is calm, serene, introspective. Zethino has red hair nicely parted in the middle, a big headpiece with leaves and antlers, pale green skin with glowing vines and her outfit is a dress made out of leaves and vines.

A study of J. C. Leyendecker's "Man and Woman Dancing" featuring Chiara and Lucanis. Chiara has her back turned to us, her expression is sultry, a small smirk escaping her lips. She's wearing a light blue silky dress with sheer sleeves falling over her shoulders, pearl necklace and silver bracelets and (engagement??) ring. Her hair is blue, held in an updo. Lucanis is wearing a traditional black tuxedo that is fully blended with the black background, one hand on the small of her back, the other in front. They are dancing.

Portrait of Nyx from Hades (Supergiant Games) Portrait of a regal looking pale woman, her waist-length hair is elaborately fashioned with a braid on either side and a high bun held up in part by a golden crown. Her hair also flares to either side in the shape of a pair of bird-like wings, and the stars of the night sky can be seen on the undersides of these "wings." She is wearing robes with crescent moon shaped pauldrons. Her chest, forehead and earrings are decorated with tear shaped gemstones. There's 3 skill shapes on her chest, the middle one is holding the mentioned tear shaped gem. Her eyes are closed, her expression calm. The illustration is in black and white with purple and gold accents.

Don’t forget the fact that they now don’t have to pay artists to make what they want too.

Fuck off with this shit. You aren't cute, you aren't clever, you aren't being helpful.

I love the comparison side to side video you posted. The devs of Hollow Knight seem to be really good eggs, taking inspiration from such legendary things! Good spotting! (Even if that isn’t the inspiration the devs had)
