#trigun #trigunstampede #tristamp
#vashthestampede #vash

Painted illustration of Vash the Stampede from Trigun Stampede. The overall palette of the piece focuses on contrasting reds and blues; his coat, his prosthetic arm, and dark blue 'geraniums' stand out against a blurred, dreary red cityscape. Vash is holding his gun in one hand and two geranium flowers in his prosthetic hand, and letting more flowers fall out of his hand to blow away in the wind. The hood of his coat is filled with flowers. He has a subdued expression on his face, watching as the flowers fall and follow the flow of his coat. Behind him, glowing blue lines (the same color as the flowers) that resemble roots/tree branches start from his back and climb towards the top of the illustration. Blue textures that could be interpreted as more geranium flowers or blue flames frame the rest of the illustration.

I've been working on an essay about The Struggles of TTRPG Outreach and Fandom but I think this tumblr post just captured the whole sentiment im like 100 words.

Fact: Apart from pure recognition factor, one of the major reasons your fanart gets more eyes on it than your OCd is because people are perverts for narrative context, and your OCs don't have any.

Corollary: you don't actually need to write a whole-ass graphic novel to achieve that narrative context. You do need to know what your OC's story is, but once you do, you can literally just draw contextless snapshots from that story that raise more questions than they answer and people will fill in the blanks.

An illustration I did in 2023; a small fairy traveler with a flower for a hat, standing on a top of a mushroom, looking up and ahead. There are falling leaves around her, and a single flower just by the mushroom she's standing on.

Actually, what I would love for me birthday is if you all shared your favorite art of your OC's, and tell me about them. Let's start an OC Share.

This year I decided to try Goretober, and with the updated Bluesky rules I’m a bit afraid to post it here
So here’s a snippet — you can see the full version and all the others on my Cara, Discord, or Telegram, and you can find the links to them in my Carrd lichjuliorra.carrd.co

These new Mystery Skulls Animated clips are posted on our most recent patreon update, but I thought I'd share them directly here too for easier viewing. We wanted to show off two compiled scenes we've been putting together for the next video!

Thank you so much!!😊
I was always so curious about the impact of this one! She's one of the few dailies I'd actually had as a napkin doodle before attempting digitally, and it's so pleasing that she managed to really keep the energy!

Gentsma @gentsma.bsky.social · 2d

I've only shown a few named ones, but color me curious ^0^
I'd be happy to be humored!✨
