Drawing from May 2024

I wanted to draw one of the NPCs from our #DungeonsandDragons game set in #IcewindDale. I've missed really getting into a drawing and actually finishing it!

(1/5) Doodle of a nightmare that's seared itself inside my brain. T/W for gore?

---

I am trapped inside a laundrette. The customers & staff are unaware of the nightmare they're stuck in. It's growing hot. Too hot. Hotter still. A heat haze shimmers.

I need to break whatever is mesmerising them.-

Who needs horror films when your own brain kindly provides graphic nightmares to wake you in a cold sweat 🙄

Had to pause a video about haunted places in Britain at the talk of ghostly bagpipes haunting Edinburgh Castle & the Royal Mile.

I need y'all to know it'd be far stranger to be in the vicinity & *NOT* hear the sound of bagpipes! It's 1 of the top hotspots for central Scotland's tourism! 😂

The last few weeks I've been getting intense and vivid dreams. Some of them have just been strange, but many of them have been full blown nightmares.

Any tips on how to ward against bad dreams? I'm getting real tired of my brain's BS. 🙃

For my birthday a few months back I was given a #whittling kit. My 1st attempt obviously isn't the best (you've gotta start somewhere after all), but I had a lot of fun & managed not to slice my fingers off, so that's a win in my book!

(Also happy new year! May 2026 treat you kindly!)

"the makers of AI aren’t damned by their failures, they’re damned by their goals. (...)They want to create a new kind of mind, so they can force it into mindless servitude. Their dream is to invent new forms of life to enslave."

Very good text. It's 100% okay to just hate genAI.
Great post about generative AI. Happy Holidays. Don't say I never gave you anything. anthonymoser.github.io/writing/ai/h...

Excited to have backed HABROMANIA by Symphony_Sonata!

The art style is stunning and, from the snippets I've seen from the demo, I hope I'm going to enjoy the psychological horror elements and the dry humorous style of Alice's dialogue!

God I fucking feel this today... I'm sick of depression. I'm sick of feeling like a hollowed out husk. I'm sick of clawing myself out of this fucking hellhole of an emotional pit, just to be sucked back down into it again.

People who disparage humanities and social sciences will come next for the science that they don't see as translating directly into making money.

They want a vapid and uncurious world. Don't give them an inch.
How is this repeatedly made into a policy issue - by *all* parties - when the blunt fact of the matter is that grown adults who are obliged to pay for their own education, and relentlessly pursued to repay their loans, should be able to study whatever the fuck they want.

My depression's being an utter bastard, so I've had to find anything that'll refocus my brain & keep it busy so it can't beat me up. Haven't done any digital painting in like 3-5 years, but between wanting to try out Krita & being hyperfixated on my D&D character... 👀 #digitalpainting #fuckAI #WIP

Drawing of my current d&d character, Ketu, the Hexblood Eldritch Knight (she/they). Not fully content with this depiction, but pleased with the "I'm 1000% done" energy she got going on. They're probably just fed up with Icewind Dale's political SNAFUs, as per usual!

Sharing in case someone with the same issue doesn't know about it.

i think a lot of conversations about whether or not a game "is safe" would be more productively shaped by:

- how risky is this game
- are players aware of and consenting to this risk
- what are tools players can use to mitigate risk
