Thinking about how the Daft Punk's Alive 2007 was one of the best sets of all times, each track a gut in the punch and completely unexpected, the crowd's reactions as part of the whole fucking album is crazy

Brood Vampyrs I play on Ivresang, i have missed free sketching with a pen tool

This is a digital illustration. In majorly black, grey and with white highlights, and with a paper, grainy texture. Four different characters stand, some in portrait, one in fully body, another in thigh-up shot... Without seemingly any relation.

One with nappy hair and piercings looks ahead, distantly. Another with choppy hair seems ready to run, readying her whip, in a tight, sporty gothic look. Another looks to the side with a cravat and an asymmetrical collar, long curly black hair framing the side of his face. The last one stands tall, showing claws, looking directly to the viewer, a small rat on his shoulder.

This is a digital illustration and close-up of the first image. It focuses on the wompan vampyr with her wip and the tall vampyr with the rat on his shoulder. The woman is tattooed, smiles wickedly, and seems ready for anything. The man, standing tall, is adorned with necklaces and charms, a high collar and a long, dark coat. His eyes shine something eerie, and he looks bored.

This is a digital illustration, and another close up of the first image. The main huge vampyr on the left has chained earrings and a spiked lower lip piercing. Their eyes are lidded, and they look proud.
The smaller bust features a vampyr with strong eyebrows and curly hair, creole earrings, and a smug, confident smile.

I love TTRPG books because structurally you can often start them from one chapter, read backwards, forward, all of it from page 1, whatever, however you like.

When you're disabled, you spend less time beating yourself up because you can pick it up and not have to read every page to start playing!!

Do NOT believe the misinfo going around

There absolutely have been MASSIVE TOS updates

Most notably:

1) Specifying no FICTIONAL noncon
2) No "dangerous" kink
3) No DISCUSSING self harm, suicide, or substance abuse unless its "educational"

So what can we DO about it?

#SaveSpeech

1/🧵

Multiple cropped screenshots showing portions of the bsky TOS before and now. Before: "iv. Encouraging self-harm or suicide
v. Depictions of excessive violence, gore, torture, dismemberment, or non-consensual sexual activity". Now: "ii. We do not allow sexual content involving non-consensual activity including synthetic, simulated, illustrated, or animated versions. iv. Do not create, share, or promote sexual content involving realistic risk of death or serious injury. i. Do not share content, methods, instructions, or promotion of self-harm, suicide, eating disorders, and extreme dieting practices.
ii. Do not share methods, instructions, depictions, or promotion of dangerous stunts or abuse of dangerous or controlled substances. 5. Protected Expression
B. Support, Recovery, and Mental Health:
i. Personal recovery experiences or survivor stories shared to promote healing and community support rather than encouraging harmful behavior.
ii. Sharing verified mental health resources, crisis prevention".

Priestess (2024)

This is a digital illustration. In flat colors, a symmetrical artwork of a woman in a golden half-mask, with dark, curly hair, and a blue coiffe. She is wearing dark, clawed gloves, and lavender and blue robes with golden accents. The lower part of her face suggests focus or disdain. Her hands are put up, as though she was preparing a spell, and her hair frames her face, flying around her, dropping on her shoulders. Her main coat is burgundy, draped over her. The background is brass, dark oranges, suggesting shadows tethered to her, with a floral overlay and lavender circle acting as a halo around her face. Her skin is olive, her cheekbones carved.

Sui #FFXIV

This is a digital illustration. In a highly stylized, blocky and painterly fashion, a Raen Au Ra from the game Final Fantasy 14. The hues majorly blue and pale yellow-ish greens, with subtle white highlights. She looks ahead of herself, focused but distant. Her horns are small and horizontal, and there are hints of scales on her cheeks, her forehead and her neck. The woman has bangs, long straight pale hair with dark ribbons, white flowers, and small white pearls in it. The atmosphere is moody and the background abstract, giving a strange discrepancy between the softness of the subject and the steely ambiance and the focused gaze she sports.

I missing painting, here's two pirates from the OSRP pirate RP group I did last year, freehanding

This is a digital illustration. In pinkish hues stands a young woman looking off to the side, smiling pensively and mischeviously. Her long hair is braided, and her arms are covered in thorned roses tattoo sleeves. She has short puffy white sleeves and two small skulls are doodled on either side of her bustshot.

This is a digital illustration. A young man with tan skin and deep blue hair looks off to the distance with clear determination. His long hair is tied in an elegant ponytail and scars litter his face, neck and jawline. His eyes shine like amber.

💀⚔️ Driftwood pirates! #OSRP

This is a digital illustration. In an array of colors, three characters are squeezed in a vertical frame. On the right, a man with an annoyed expression and a large hat is latching onto a pensive woman in the center, who is looking up to another character on the far left in turn. The latter and third character seems to be taunting the hatted man by poking at the the brim of his hat.

The character on the left has dark skin, beautiful long black locs greying at the roots, golden accessories, dark eyes, a maroon shirt, and an array of tattoos. They seem confident and relaxed, lips slightly parted in a smile and framed by a salt and pepper goatee.

The character in the middle has middle-length chestnut hair, brown monolid eyes and olive skin, a white underdess and the suggestion of a checkered skirt. She's lifting an index pensively, touching her cheek, seemingly unbothered or neutral.

The bothered character on the right has a peach tone, blond hair, blue eyes, a beige shirt and a brown large-brimmed hat. He has a singular tear shaped earring, a clown-like fang makeup on the corner of his left eye, and looks decidedly pissed.

This is a close up of the previous picture, zooming on all three of their faces. The linework is sketched, almost penciled and, the artwork is largely flat colors with very subtle cell-shading.

I put an EXCLUSIVE original artwork in it!

This is a preview of an artwork for the BIPOCVAMPDAY CHARITY ZINE. In front of a stained glass artwork, a vampire with bloodied claw looks to the viewer. The rest is obscured, giving a sense that the artwork is much bigger than it looks like.

The frame reads
