hi! I’m stoup, they/them, and I’m a hobbyist illustrator… I draw ocs and video game fanart. check out my media tab or find my tumblr (same handle!) for more! thanks!! 🩵✨

a sketchump of various grayscale headshots of the same older, masc original character. he’s heavier set dilf with a silver streak and chinstrap goatee. the biggest sketch of him features his beloved grey parrot.

a tarot card inspired full color illustration of an original character (bg3 tav named Havren, belonging to adsurgit). he stands theatrically, vine tattoos extending from his skin into glowing tendrils. he stands before a forest backdrop, framed by gnarling branches leading to a canopy of leaves and berries overhead.

a digital, unpolished close-up sketch of Astarion from Baldur’s Gate 3’s face. he’s shielding his eyes from bright light with his hand, a golden ring shining on the index finger. his gaze is on the viewer.

I created a this character a while ago and them never introduced them😔 They are a tiefling light cleric I did for a campaign.

#tiefling #ocs #ocart #dndart #ocsky #dndoc

a blue tiefling with beight red hair in a braid, it goes around their neck. They have goat-like hooves, ram-like horns, and a small golden unicorn horn in the center of their head. They are wearing armor with moon and sun symbols, it it white with golden accents.

YES. Let this be a ‘25 trend.

You know what I think we should all do? Just start reply to stuff with positive comments.

Dickheads are so quick to comment, how about we tell people they look good? Their art is cool? The event sounds excellent. Whatever. Fucking hell, let’s just be openly nice for once.

Despite getting whatever anti-trans narrative they wanted out of the Charlie Kirk shooting, the American right is now blaming the Jews instead, because content must be created. It is almost like the "first they came for" thing is not hypothetical!

It's the golden rule of grievance politics: you will never be happy. You are a permanent captive to the infinity goalpost.

I've been working in sketchbooks more as part of a class assignment; here are some of my recent sketches 👉👈 I've been trying to draw what comes to me in the moment, and not worry too much about the output or making everything perfect, but also put time into each to make it feel 'done' as a sketch.

Graphite and white charcoal sketch on toned paper of a woman with stylized hair

Graphite and white charcoal sketch on toned paper of a figure with a stylized owl headdress. The wings of the headdress cover the figure's eyes.

A graphite sketch of a a face surrounded by a sphere of churning, splashing water

A graphite sketch of a beared man with a sword plunging through his forehead and out his chin (in a stylized, non gory way).

Miyazaki survived the bombing of Utsunomiya as a child. His family escaped in a car, but left a neighbor and her daughter behind to save themselves. Miyazaki regrets this, and said this has stayed with him and shaped his film making. He hopes his audience will learn the courage he lacked in 1945.
