Timelapse of work I did last week on a commission for a Guild Wars 2 character. I’ll post the final piece after 1. It’s done and 2. After I poison it. GW2 is one of my favorite games and I’m really enjoying the new xpac 🥰

Happy Saturday Bluesky friends! Tonight is our monthly #fableandframe where my friend Ryo plays a retro game and I paint characters, creatures, or scenes from that game. We’ve done #legendofdragoon #ocarinaoftime and #finalfantasyx.

Ok, I think I’ve more or less recovered from my covid shot. Back to work today! It took me 30 hours to recover and I had to sleep through most of it, but I’m doing what I can to keep people around me safe. I’m still pretty sore, but at least now I can play with the dog 😅

Smalll update: I’m still repairing/rebuilding my twitch bot (why on earth I decided to do this and not rely on Frostytools…). Since it looks like it’s gonna take a while I’m back to streaming #art and #videogames.

The floofs and I have officially arrived in Europe!
I've been so busy with moving and assembling new furniture that I haven't had time to draw. But soon my desk and computer will be set up and I can get back to making art!

There’s something powerful about feeling safe, feeling valued, feeling believed in.
That’s when the energy settles.
That’s when the good stuff happens.
That’s when we shine.

Learn to do what is good.
Pursue justice.
Correct the oppressor.
Defend the rights
of the fatherless.
Plead the widow’s cause.

Worship without tending to these things is foul.
