An illustration of a long haired man with elf ears looking somberly at the viewer. He has tear tracks down his cheeks. he is standing in front of a series of eroded statues, each of which also has tears in its eyes and is overgrown with foliage. The sky is red and ominous behind them. An illustration with a decorative white border. In the center, a large, dark gray skinned man with glowing eyes is lying on his back, and a much shorter man with pale skin and long hair is resting on his shoulder, nude and draped in a dark blue cloth. In the background, various versions of the shorter man are lying dead, with a ripple effect distorting them and the background. A group portrait of five men (two at the top, one in the center, two at the bottom), with each of the outer four looking yearningly at the man in the center. The top-left man has dark skin, red eyes looking away from the viewer, and black coily hair which is tied back with a red ribbon. The top-right man has pale white skin and long, silver hair and yellow eyes, and is wearing a black bodysuit mask over his mouth and nose. The man in the center has medium tan skin and long, dark blue hair with silver streaks. His eyes are golden. The bottom-left man has light skin, short black hair with a silver gradient at its roots, a mustache, and is wearing a decorative red rose eyepatch over his visible eye. The bottom-right man has light skin, blonde hair cut into a choppy jellyfish cut with curls at the bottom, and pale blue eyes. An illustration of a man with shoulder length wavy hair turned away from the viewer, looking over his shoulder with a smile. He is standing in a field of tall grass, touching a stalk of amaranth with one hand. The image is framed with a decorative gothic border.

If you're planning on shopping during black Friday or cyber Monday, why not consider supporting artists, writers, creators? Buy a book, purchase an indie video game, commission an art piece, gift someone a Patreon. Your support means everything.

#disabledartist #artshop #artsky
anime style of a horror and cute portrait of a princess. Blue and grey flat colors. clean think lineart. digital art, demon woman sketch, focus is on the background abstract, a heart shape explosion of light. colors are mostly purple and blue, with hints of green and pink digital doodle of a fat tired goth woman in goth cow boy like alternative fashion. purple hair, tan skin, and red bra and short shorts. rough digital color rough of a comic page then the final version. Rough is more pink and yellow, final is green blue yellow with some pink. A goddess holds the Earth in her hands and smirks evily. she goes from admiring the planet to trapping it in vines.

scryer leland the time-blighted
An illustration of a man with a long ponytail and glasses staring uneasily at the viewer, his upper half cast in shadow. He is wearing an oversized blue robe and tall white gloves. His body is being distorted with magic. Behind him, two skulls are facing left and right respectively. The background is a chaotic array of textures in blue, grey, and orange. The text reads: LELAND From the day of his birth, Leland has been afflicted with a strange curse - forever doomed to be torn from any timeline he dares to call home. The Two-Headed Seer is both the source of his suffering and his only path to freedom.

finished up the references for this criminal duo 🤠
A reference sheet for a character called Grimhildt. He is a tall slender man wearing a dark mustard yellow cloak over his chest and a crude chainmail. He has wild, light brown hair and a bandana on his forehead. His green pants are flared at the bottom and sewn up with various stitches. An alternative version of his outfit to the right includes a mask over his face made of an animal jaw, and a beat up cowboy hat. On the far right there is a large staff, the same height as the man made of a red spiky material. It's covered in eyes and labeled as "Old Aggie" The text profile reads: Grimhildt "Crazy Eyes" Age: 29 height: 6'7" race: human profession: leader of the Brittleburn Bandits Combined references from the other two images, see alt text on those A reference sheet for a character called Hremi Terrowin. He is a short, stout elf wearing a blue tunic and tights. He has light blonde hair tied in an ornate ponytail with a ribbon, and his skin is a golden yellow. An alternative version of him to the right is wearing a totally different outfit, comprised of shredded fabric and animal bones decorated with spikes. The chestpiece is made of a cow skull and he is wearing a bone mask over his face with one eye socket shattered. The text profile reads: Hremi Terrowin "The Terrowin Terror" Age: 21 height: 5'1" race: elf profession: eldest son of House Terrowin ; member of the Brittleburn Bandits

a world without trans people has never existed and never will
a medieval style digital drawing of an androgynous brown-skinned knight on horseback on a hill, stabbing a long gold spear into a blue dragon on the ground. the knight has a gold halo behind their head and wears a suit of silver armor with a nonbinary flag striped tunic and a trans flag as a cape. their horse is white, with blue tack with trans pride trim. there is black gothic text at the top and bottom of the image reading “A world without trans people has never existed and never will.” there’s an ornate pale blue border around the image, filled with pink and blue scrollwork, gold hearts filled with colorful flowers, a smiley bat, two smiley moles, and two smiling frogs holding up trans flags.

Hey folks, I often do posts calling for indie developers to link me their games so I can signal boost them. Today I want to do something similar for all trans creatives.

If you are a trans game dev, artist, writer, streamer or YouTuber, reply here with a link to your work. Only one rule: no GenAI.💜

An edited tweet from Coffee Spoonie that reads: I want to be extremely close about: I never *don't* want to be asked about my OC it is never a bad or inappropriate time for OC questions I will never be displeased by questions about my OC at no point in my life will I ever be like "no thank u, i don't want to talk about my character right now"
