I did a fan art!!

Here’s Círdan the Shipwright, one of my all-time favourite Tolkien characters, inspired by Ben Daniels in The Rings of Power

you can read more about him here tolkiengateway.net/wiki/C%C3%AD...

#trop #lotr #art
Procreate painting of Círdan the Shipwright, inspired by the character in Rings of Power. He faces us, bearded, blue-eyed and silver-haired, with a sunset and the sea in the background, and stars just beginning to show in the night sky above. The piece is done in a chalky, cel-shaded style.

Have a #painting. From a few years back "The Long Walk Again" is not the first time I've painted the iconic Galway scene. And knowing me it's unlikely to be the last. There are other places in the west of Ireland to paint, but something about the shapes and space draw me back here. #art #SpeirGhorm
Landscape format in acrylics on mat board. Between a yellow into orange sky, and a lime into green body of water, is a horizontal strip of a terrace of 10 houses (left to right: pale green, pale blue, paler blue, white, dark blue, red, mid-blue, yellow, pale blue, pink) with dark blue and purple slate roofs. Three houses have 3 stories, the rest 2. All have small dark windows. Behind are rooftops and gables, and in front is a dark blue quay wall running across the width of the painting. It has 2 small pale blue and white fishing boats docked on green and yellow seaweed at bottom of the quay wall on the right. A small round orange buoy floats in the middle of the harbour to the left. Signed bottom right in red, Liam Daly

It's the same as the emotion I get from you
Illustration of a bipedal floppy-eared dog and a terrier dog sitting in tall grass together. The dogs sit opposite of each other and are wearing reddish clothing. The terrier's eyes sparkle and give off a blue aura, while the floppy eared dog reaches out it's hand to receive that aura.

fur filled with stars ✨ #art
A stylized big cat with deep blue/purple fur. Bright yellow/orange spots shaped like stars cover its pelt. It cradles a larger star in its tail. The border on the left and bottom is a line of matching stars. The right and top border is striped and dotted. The background is a patchy blue/green

A few years ago, Brian Rose gave me a tour of the Penn Museum. One of my favorite items is this clay brick from ca. 2000 BCE, Ur (Iraq). I show it on the first day of classes because reconstructing the lives of ancient people often means working from the small impressions we all leave on the earth 👣

It's #portfolioday ! I'm not selling anything and I don't need a job right now, but here's some of my work anyway😊
Fan art drawing of Cirdan the Shipwright from Rings of Power. T-shirt and pajama pattern design for the Ikea Blåhaj shark. The top image is a cute stuffed blue shark swimming through a little seascape. The bottom is a repeating pattern of waves with shark fins in them. 8 of the unit portraits I did for the Dawn of War II Retribution game. I do not remember all their names. 4 repeating patterns I designed: Manta rays (batik inspired) in lime green, Stylized clouds on a deep blue winter night, Penguins in sweaters in ice blue and light pink on a black background, Alberta leaves on a Boho/Art Deco styled scale pattern

Words that have been on my mind recently
#Tolkien #art
Frodo and Sam are small figures approaching Mordor. Barad-dur and Mt Doom can be seen in the distance. The star of earendil shines through the clouds. The text reads: Yet such is oft the course of deeds that move the wheels of the world: small hands do them because they must, while the eyes of the great are elsewhere

More than an hour before dawn—when the Company will halt their overnight march, hide, and try to sleep—a shadow crosses the sky above them. Gandalf cautions that ‘It may be nothing, only a wisp of thin cloud.’

‘It was moving fast then,’ Aragorn answers, ‘and not with the wind.’

My new pins are back in stock!! I was a bit unprepared for just how much you guys liked these last time.

enamel pins of pokemon done in the monster hunter icon style. Tyranitar, garchomp, rayquaza, espeon, umbreon, sylveon, gengar, lucario, and flygon. The umbreon, rayquaza, and gengar are the real big sellers and sold out the first day I put these up last time. Hopefully I have enough now but you never know.

yay, rare new personal #art !

The Dunwich Legacy was the first Arkham Horror TCG campaign my husband & I played, and while we’ve played many, many other campaigns in the years since then, I’ve always wanted to draw a movie-style poster based on our first “real” game together
(details in alt-text)
alt text: A hand drawn 1920s style movie poster. Top text: “Sebastien Moreau presents THE DUNWICH LEGACY A Thrilling Journey Beyond Time and Space” Beneath are 6 figures which I’ll describe in the next images, standing in a sort of creeping fog. The bottom text is my husband & my names starring as the lead characters, with the names of the ally characters underneath. Close-up of the two player characters: In the front are William Yorrick and Sefina Rousseau, player investigators from Arkham Horror The Card Game. William has longish red hair and a beard - not a common look for the 1920s, but it makes sense considering he’s an actor. He wears a Trenchcoat, and carries his trademark lantern and his “Cherished Keepsake” Mr. Pawterson. I decided to give him WWI style boots and pants, perhaps he’s a veteran? Or maybe he got them at an army surplus store? His shirt is a typical style for the 20s, complete with a detachable soft collar that saves on laundering costs. Sefina is a Tahitian woman, wearing a matching dark green travel coat and cloche hat. She has unfashionably long, dark, curly hair-but like many women of the time who were reluctant to bob their hair-she’s styled it impeccably to fit current hat silhouettes. Her hat is decorated with artificial Tahitian gardenias, and her coat has Polynesian tapa cloth inspired embroidery. Her drop-waist pleated dress is a lighter green, and her leather shoes have the low flared heels typical of the period. Her clothes are clearly made especially for her, none of this new-fangled buying “off the rack” for Sefina! Pearls are a very popular accessory at this time, but in keeping with her theme I gave Sefina Tahitian black pearls. Lastly she has two paintbrushes in her pocket because she’s a forger artist, and she’s gesturing enthusiastically at a map she’s holding. Close-up of two “ally” characters: Leo De Luca is an ally that gives you an extra action in game. How does he manage this? In my opinion, by being rakishly charming! I’ve drawn him standing with his jacket slung over his shoulder, showing off his simple worker’s shirt and suspenders. He’s wearing a light brown hat, cuffed pants, and some gorgeous wingtip shoes that I imagine he’s super proud of. He has short, dark blonde hair (the official card art makes his hair colour hard to discern so I just picked), and he’s holding a lit, hand rolled cigarette. The Arcane Initiate has bobbed red hair styled with finger waves, and is wearing a dark orange sweater vest over a long sleeved shirt and flowy skirt. Her card art has her wearing an outfit that really doesn’t look appropriate according to my research, so I gave her something that a student might typically wear while still looking a little bit like the original art. She looks very worried (after all, she gets placed with a Doom on her!), and is holding tightly a purple book with a glowing Mystic symbol on it. Madame LaBranche is a stout older woman wearing a fancy steel blue housedress. I found that lot of photos of older women of this time show them wearing slightly out of date dresses; I guess it was hard for many to adapt to the new and shocking knee-high hems that all the kids were wearing. I chose a sort of compromise outfit for Madame that I found in a Montgomery Wards Schoffner’s catalog, because catalogs were all the rage back then! Her white hair is done up in a loose bun with finger wave styling, and she’s holding up a single silver coin while looking disdainfully at the viewer. (Her ally power is that she gives you a resource every turn if you have none). She wears white pearls and seems to be a Woman Of Means, even though in our games she always ends up being your weird landlady. Behind her stands a tall man wearing a striped grey suit and a fedora. His back is towards the viewer, and his face is partially obscured. His bright leather red gloves stand out from the dark background. He is The Red Gloved Man and he declines to be described further.

YOU DUMB FUCKS. THIS IS ME.

I have a scooter. I can walk. I can't, however, walk through 80 miles of airport. I can walk onto an airplane or through hallways. I can't walk the .5 mile to the convention center.

People, get smarter, it's embarrassing at this point.

dang, it's not even 8:30pm and the aurora is DARK RED, even with the full lights of downtown!

I've never seen it like this here before #yeg
kind of fuzzy phone camera photo of the night sky over a lowrise apartment building. In the sky is a fuzzy-edged, deep magenta stripe of an aurora, with a little cyan/jade green to either side.
