Hello #porfolioday! I am the one, the only, the Constantly Screaming Beard!
I am an amateur artist, who likes posing characters and dressing them up. I like RPGs, comics and anime and am hard at work polishing my skills in the hopes of drawing for one or all of them.

a seated robotic figure floating in midair, their hands raised from their sides. A purple robe draped across their shoulders, billowing out to the sides. An orange flower sits within their chest glowing, the light spilling out of the chest cavity. Green vines grow of the their chest, wrapping around their chest and arms, growing up toward their robotic head, transforming it into a flower. An organic looking structure is growing behind the figure, thin branch reaching upwards in a helical pattern, a pillar of light shining within it, casting light across the figure's back.

a figure in a collared shirt, cravat, with a long coat, mantle, pufffed sleeves and puffy pants, standing with arm out to the side, a sword of fire extending from their hand, standing in front of a simple graphic background.

A woman in a long, formal dress, reading a book, with magical, floating hands carrying a three-section staff

this girl finishes her WIPs eventually #ttrpg #art #digitalart #illustration #absentiaart

An illustration from Absentia's TTRPG of a woman posing with a katana. She has a pale complexion, long and straight white hair, elf ears, and a yellow hairband. She wears lightly armored attire in a modern/sci-fi style with a translucent, plastic coat overtop. One of her arms is covered in high-tech armor that projects a magical shield over her side. There is a revolver holstered at her waist, opposite her sword's sheath.

Weird how we can't ever improve things bc "I had to suffer, why should we make things better for the next generation?" is such a pervasive thought-terminating cliche, except when it comes to AI in which case it's all "I'm sure glad my kids will be spared the hell of thinking that i went through"

It’s a "crisis" when immigrants "take jobs away", but "innovation" when machines do. Funny.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industry

Paul McCartne, Elton John and others signed an open letter.

Hey friends - my time at Heart Machine is ending after nearly 6 years. It’s difficult to say goodbye to a studio that has seen so much growth in myself and others.

If you know of any studios hiring for audio lead or senior roles, please send them my way. DMs are open!

Al Jazeera: Israeli forces have continued their attacks on Gaza despite the announcement, carrying out strikes in both the north and south of the enclave.

I have little faith either the US or Israel will be faithful to this deal (just look at Lebanon’s ceasefire). But the ‘I’m powerless’ play was nonsense when US spent 31$ bn supporting/assisting Israel’s war across the region across 2 admins. Some care more about Biden’s rep than our lives

He fights for FREEDOM"

He said this deliberately because he is a Nazi and he wants you to know he's a Nazi who you can't touch. He also wants other Nazis to know they can be open about the fact they are Nazis too.

This isn't an oversight, a fumble or an opportunity for a "heh, well actually, dummy" zinger.

Man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain.
Doctor says, "don't worry, my treatment is to die for," and shoots him twice in the head. Excellent work, 47.

I had to entirely re-export this. I drew it nine years ago and the files were corrupted.

It was funny opening up the old files and seeing how different my priorities were and how many basic mistakes I was making.

This sequence was my baby back then and I remember being so proud of it.

#Comics folks, I need you to pull up to this one.

The world sucks right now, and we have the opportunity to do a little bit of good for a displaced and marginalized member of our community. Please join me in supporting this KS campaign!

www.kickstarter.com/projects/den...

If you're somebody who values supporting marginalized voices in comics, here's your chance to put your money where your values are!

The writer of this RINGO NOM’D INDIE COMIC (and a very dear friend of mine) is a Syrian Refugee who has been through more continuous hardships than I have space to list here; constantly navigating visa applications, unstable living conditions, predatory landlords (limited options as a refugee).

Anas just wants to make comics and live a normal life like what so many of us take for granted. Backing this campaign will help Anas to take the next step toward freedom and autonomy, helping to fund a move to another country with more stable employment options. This is truly one of the most important comics purchases you will ever make.

Middle Eastern and North African comics creators are some of the most underrepresented in the comics industry of the western world. Anas isn’t running a GoFundMe to support this move, and is not asking for charity. Simply, Anas is using their talent for storytelling, along with Dennis’ gorgeous art, to offer you a beautiful experience in the comics medium, that also goes toward funding a better life for Anas.

I’m so proud of Anas, and humbled by their experiences and perseverance. I would like to see Anas’ Dream realized, and I’d love to see this community help to make that happen. Please join me in pledging to the Etheres Kickstarter campaign! (link below).

You can tell it’s October when ppl start spreading drug sadism myths about expensive drugs given for free to school-age children, since children usually have the means to purchase more drugs…

Anyways, we actually know pretty definitively that “fentanyl-laced marijuana” isn’t a thing & never will be
