Some friends of my parents set up a meal train/donation fund to help while my Dad's in the hospital!

Here's a link you're interested in donating/add a gift card to help them out. 💖 (3/4)

Meal Train for Rick and Marcie Salas

Rick has pulmonary fibrosis, which greatly affects his breathing. He has been in the hospital with a flare up. They could really use some help with meals during this difficult time.

My fan cover for Montgomery LaMontgommery's upcoming book, finally spotlighting the most upstanding gentleman in all of Gath. THANK YOU for Wealwell @brennanleemulligan.bsky.social, @dimension20.bsky.social. He is everything I've ever wanted - nay, needed - and more.
#CloudwardHo #Dimension20

A faux book cover cartoony illustration in brown and teal tones. It shows the Cloudward Ho! cast in a heroic tableau: in the background, Olethra is happily steering the MechLeod, and Daisuke is up on a cliff, aiming a rifle towards centre frame; closer to the viewer are Van on the left, blowing her bosun whistle with tentacles a-tentacling, and Maxwell Gotch on the right, looking a bit unsure about what's happening; closer still are Monty on the left, holding his notebook and looking sagely off-frame, and Marya on the right, holding a huge wrench close to her chest and staring forlornly off-camera. And in the centre and the foreground, looking directly at the viewer, is the lithe, handsome, elegantly poised figure of Wealwell Gotch, hair golden, moustache curled, dressed in a fine teal suit and resting his hand on a katana. The top reads "Montgomery LaMontgommery", and the bottom "Where There's A Weal There's A Well".
The original designs for the Cloudward Ho! cast are by the wonderful Cait May.

My first Campaign 4 art, and as is tradition, I came up with my own takes on the characters going mostly from the in-game descriptions & vibes during the first episode as a fun character design challenge that I do each campaign

#CriticalRole #CriticalRoleArt #CriticalRolefanart #fanart #bskyart

A very large illustration of all 13 of the main cast all with their reactions to Thjazi's execution. The designs are different from the canon ones, some more than others.

✨CHIBI COMMISSIONS OPEN! ✨

I'm offering quick chibi commissions!

Each $20 CAD, flat colours & beanified, to help get some cushioning for food/other bills before payday. Complicated designs will be simplified. DM for details!

#commissions #opencommissions #chibi #digitalart

A very squishy chibi version of a character. Imagine the head as a big soft plushie head and the body a squishy bean bag. The character is brown skinned, brown hair in a bun, blue eyed, with a yellow headband. The character wears an oversized faded red sweater and grey skirt with a grey tank top peaking beneath the sweater.

My favorite argument is "It's so selfish to not want kids."

Really? Because bringing another living creature into the world, with all the implications, JUST BECAUSE YOU FEEL LIKE IT, isn't selfish?

And then, amazingly, they follow it up with "But who's gonna look after you when you're old?"

Shubbabang @shubbabang.bsky.social · 2d

The image is a six panel black and white comic

Panel 1- A small child is being told "You'll want kids when you're older!" The child responds with "I don't think so..."

Panel 2- The same child, now a teenager, is being told, "You'll change your mind when you're older." To which the teen responds, "I doubt that"

Panel 3- Now an adult, someone off screen asks them, "Aren't you thinking of having kids?" To which they respond, "Nope"

Panel 4- The same person, an older adult now, is being told, "better have kids soon, or it'll be too late!" to which they respond, "That's fine"

Panel 5- Now elderly, they are once again asked "Don't you feel like you missed out?" to which they say, "Still nope."

Panel 6- They are now in their death bed, clearly close to death. The nurse says, "Shame you didn't have kids, don't you regret it?" To which the person says "You know what just kill me already"
