It took me 3 weeks, but she's finished!

This is Pruella (Aka Proo), my first ever D&D character from many years ago. I miss playing as her a lot.

There are things about this that i think could be improved. But I needed to get her done, and actually finish a drawing for once. #DnD #CharacterArt

Artwork for my D&D Character, Pruella Woodsoul, AKA Proo. Who is a half elf battle master fighter. She has messy, curly copper coloured hair, fair skin, green eyes and freckles. She is wearing brown studded leather armour, made up of a chest plate, gambison, knee length boots, and shoulder paldrons. her cloak is is a a purplish maroon colour, andn has many visible tears and small holes. She is carrying 2 swords, one of which is glowing red hot as if the blade is newly forged.

Drawn in Infinite Painter for Android.
Filter and watermark applied in Snapseed.

A close up of Proo's head and shoulders from the previous image, and with less Snapseed editing.

The way people chase The Algorithm on YouTube is such a cargo cult.

Ten years ago someone said that if you put a red arrow in your thumbnail, you get more views, and people are still doing it with no rhyme or reason.

It begins.

The domino meme:

The start: "Zohran Mamdani runs for Mayor of New York."
The end: "PRESIDENT BRENNAN LEE MULLIGAN"

In honor of Edgar Allan Poe's 176th deathday, here are a few of my recent pieces inspired by Poe's works 🫀

Rats have swarmed around him, chewing the ropes that hold him down. This illustration is featured in "Sticker Jigsaw: The Edgar Allan Poe Collection" for Macmillan Books.

A black cat is watching the scene from the lower right corner.

Tyranny the demon, from Critical Role's new campaign. She's only dimmed a few times this week. 🩷

Also, Alex having tears in his eyes and trying not to lose it at an accidental innuendo across the table tells me he is going to fit in just fine. #criticalrolespoilers. I don't know if that's a spoiler really, but may as well tag it.

CursèdZebra @cursedzebra.bsky.social · 1d

Finished the first episode of #CriticalRole Campaign 4.

So far my runaway favourite is Tyranny. Whitney crushed it.

I think I'm going to like Marisha's character a lot too, but need to see more.

Neither of these opinions will be shocking to anyone who knows me, I'm sure.

This is the big thing here. They will try literally anything but making the sport cheaper and easier to watch.

I think (?) the cheapest way of watching #f1 in the UK is Now TV? And it's still really expensive and also fucking suuuucks as a service.

Dre Harrison @dreharrison.bsky.social · 1d

We can watch hours of streamers at a time, because it can be background noise, or we can lock in according to taste.

People watch highlights because it's accessible. Watching an F1 season legally in the UK is going to cost you over £300 in extra Sky fees.

For the actual fucking love of god.

The person responsible for the gaslighting of thousands of people with ME/CFS with CBT and torturing them with graded exercise therapy, both of which were then tried again on Long Covid patients.

An absolute menace to the sick or vulnerable.

Hey remind me. Is "doing a slander against users to protect ourselves" part of the terms of service? Asking for a friend

The pds data showing that the alt text does not match the allegation of the permaban against Link. The alt text actually reads "Charlie Kirk sitting in a white t-shirt that says freedom on it." to a picture of Charlie Kirk sitting in a white t-shirt that says freedom on it.

The post text says "same vibe" which would be a stretch to say it encourages anything other than pointing out the perfectly valid metaphor of someone being unaware of something very unpleasant about to happen.

Aaron and Jay trying so hard to fabricate evidence to absolve them of their lack of professionalism that they themselves forgot that we can literally look at the alt text as it was and see they're making this shit up.

They are so bad at their own jobs they forgot how the protocol works.

Important update, with emails sent 9 hours apart,

Link said the alt text they gave in email isn’t him. He does not write in all lowercase .

Screenshot of text message sent just now of him replying to me.
