A video on the hate campaign against Ms. Rachel for being pro-Palestinian children, but really a video about right-wing attacks on children's early education, but really a video about the importance of emotional literacy. Fantastic watch

another commission for @adomania.bsky.social, their wonderful faun Lazarus! thank you for the opportunity to draw this boy again ✨
#art

shoulders-up digital painting of a young-looking faun, watching the viewer from behind his hands. he has light skin that fades into a tawny gradient on his forehead, shoulder-length wavy auburn and white hair with the color split down the middle, and large ram's horns that curl out and then in towards his chin. the top side of the horns is brown, with filigree carvings in it, while the bottom side is dark blue like a starry sky. the horns are shattered in a few places, the shards held in place close to each other as if by magic. the faun's eyes have dark sclera, blue irises and bright gold pupils; so does the third eye in the middle of his forehead, embedded into the bone with a few dark cracks around it spreading down the faun's face. all three eyes are looking at the viewer with an intense expression from behind the gracefully held long-clawed fingers, the faun's lips in a slight smile.
the painting is done in a semi-realistic style, with the color scheme that is almost iridescent.

Thread Meeting

xkcd.com/3128/

Comic. [formatted like forum post thread] POST BY AnteresMike: You could also check out THIS kayak model. I attached a motor to mine, and it’s a little bit of a kludge but it works great. REPLY BY NorthLakeKayak: Oh, hey, AntaresMike! I know you! Honestly I didn’t realize you existed outside of the Animorphs fandom. I haven’t seen you in forever! Uh. So. How are you doing? Kayaking, I guess. Anyway yeah that model is great. [caption] Running into someone on a thread who you know from a totally different part of the internet feels weirdly like running into your teacher into a store.

Survivor, Crow, Demon of Vyrantium.

#lucanisdellamorte #dragonage #veilguard

A portrait of Lucanis Dellamorte from the video game Dragon Age: The Veilguard, in a painterly style with soft, warm tones on a pale blue, textured background. He is an olive skinned man with dark brown hair, beard and moustache. He is wearing a purple shirt with golden embroidery on the collar, a darker waistcoat with leather details, a couple of matching crow skull lapel pins that are connected by a golden chain, and a white neckerchief. He is portrayed from the chest up, slightly turned towards his right.

wanted to play with a new watercolor and some of my ink pens, ended up sketching a little Caleb. i referenced the pose from an in-game screenshot but otherwise free-handed the thing, and it was really fun to figure out how i'd like to go about the shading right in the moment

#CriticalRoleFanArt

traditional chest-up sketch of Caleb Widogast, done on slightly off-white paper. he is drawn with messy hatching and long sweeping strokes of black ink, and the background behind him is plumes of brown and teal granulating watercolor. Caleb is depicted with a beard and shoulder-length hair that is swept back. he is looking to the side and down with his brows furrowed; his elbows are propped up on something out of frame, and his fingers are interlaced in a tense gesture.

Quick Essek sketch to celebrate his animated show look ✨

#criticalrole #tmna #essek

A black and white digital sketch of Essek Thelyss, a young-looking elf, seen from a slightly elevated perspective. He is wearing simple but fine robes, and his hair, while being shorn to the sides, falls over his left eye in a big swoop. He has a raised arm and is casting a spell.

i had to sketch him real quick before bed or it would have been a no sleep kind of scenario for me

#CriticalRole #CriticalRoleFanArt #CriticalRoleSpoilers #EssekThelyss

digital head shot sketch of Essek Thelyss from Critical Role, a semi-realistic redraw of the animated series screen shot that was posted in the recent Entertainment Weekly article. the screenshot itself is pasted to the right of the sketch as a point of reference. Essek is depicted as a young-looking dark elf with short hair, with longer wavy bangs swept to one side. his pointy ears are decorated with ear caps, and he is looking intently at something in front of him and a bit down, with a tired but intrigued and analytical look.

I wanted to challenge myself and put a little more effort into drawings than I have lately and this is the result!

#CalebWidogast #EssekThelyss #Shadowgast #CriticalRole #CriticalRoleFanart

A cropped digital drawing of Caleb and Essek from Critical Role. The two are sitting next to each other, in a dark space but surrounded by dancing lights. Essek has his hand in Caleb's hair, and smiles softly, but is focusing on something in front of him. Caleb's face is only half visible, but his eyes are on Essek and they are smiling. He has freckles and wrinkles and his wavy hair hair is streaked with grey.

The uncropped version of the previously described drawing. Essek and caleb are sitting on a dark coloured couch with a lighter flower pattern together. Essek is wearing a white shirt with a wide neckline and long puffy sleeves, and dark blue boxer shorts. Caleb wears a green, long sleeved sweater and comfortable brown trousers. Both are barefeet. Essek is sitting cross legged and Caleb has one foot on the ground and the other tucked underneath his other leg. He has one hand draped over his pulled up knee, in which he holds a closed book and the other rests on Essek's thigh, with one pinky finger sliding underneath the shorts. Essek rests one arm on the backrest of the couch, so that he can play with Caleb's hair. In the other hand he holds an open book, on which he appears to be reading, despite Caleb's distraction.
