I’m an artist and art director with a passion for color, nature, Tarot and the fantasy genre.

This pigment started appearing in artist palettes in the 1950s, and was created to imitate indigo. It’s often used to paint the night sky.

I started this piece before the pandemic, and it’s been with me as a WIP through burnout, broken computers and depression. It compelled me though.
I was a comp sci major in college minoring in art, spending my time drawing and not doing programming labs.

I had a professor sit me down during a review and basically tell me that the only thing I was proving was that I liked art but not enough to major in it (my other grades were mediocre).
What’s the lore behind choosing your career path ?

Would you maybe be interested in some more dragon?

Elon Musk is very explicitly altering the X algorithm to show people content that aligns with his far-right worldview.

If you're still posting there and think you can win hearts and minds or something, this is what you're up against. You're never going to win a rigged game.

Have you tried the new Procreate brushes? I was trying to get a creamy, painterly look, but it all blended together into a muddy mess 😅 I still love the painterly style, so I figured out some tricks to make it work!

I made a video about it ~ find it here: www.patreon.com/posts/tutori...

I'm tabling at Geek Girl Con this weekend in Seattle, if anyone's planning to go! I'm making some Tarot gift bundles. Everything needs ribbon.

Hate doing this, because everyone is skint, but Oz is the only important thing in my life and I'm too broke to cover his additional surgery. If you'd like to help, please use OZVET20 at checkout on fenrisgames.com/shop for a nice discount or ko-fi.com/fenrisgames if you don't need toys.
Thankyou 💔

Here is another all time favorite image of mine. This was one of those right place at the right time moments. I hope to return to Yellowstone soon and experience more magic like this! More wolves please 🐺

Also remember there is no algorithm here. Your quote-posts to dunk on them are helping them out when they can't game the system like they do on other platforms. Don't make their jobs easier for them. Just block and move on.
Remember:

- they DO NOT CARE about your arguments/rebuttals

- they DO NOT CARE about your dunks

- the person running the accounts was specifically hired to drive engagement BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY; it’s the algorithm they’re catering to

This is a game, and to them you are data to be manipulated.

If you've ever seen these photos online, you may be interested to know I took them about 15 years ago

You may also be interested to know that I did a 3D scan of this exact same Asaro Planes of the Head model, and you can get that scan here for zero moneys:

I have a brand new website!

It feels insane to promote anything right now, because the world is terrible, but I'm hoping to send free artsy phone wallpapers to my newsletter.

Please check out the site, and let me know if you like newsletters. Or show me a picture of your pet. Or both!
