Baby King Parrot sunbathing.
#birds

Photo of a juvenile Australian King Parrot on a power line in the sunlight. It is a bright green parrot with red "pants" and an orange yellow beak. It has fanned its long tail feathers and is leaning back to expose its face to the sun. Its eyes are closed.

Same subject, tighter angle focused on the parrot's face. it appears to be dozing off.

finally finished a painting i've been cooking in my mind for a few years! shadowgast as The Devil, one of my favorite tarot cards and one of the three cards i associate with their relationship

#CriticalRole #CriticalRoleFanArt #shadowgast

a painting of Critical Role characters Essek Thelyss and Caleb Widogast, based on the Rider-Waite Tarot's The Devil. it is styled like a square painting on a vertically oriented tan canvas, with narrow unpainted strips above and below it. a looping leaning script reads "XV" above and "The Devil" below.
Essek is a dark elf with gray-lavender skin and short white hair, dressed in elegant long dark robes and a silvery metal mantle piece, with the breastplate shaped like a beetle's back and long spikes curving off of his shoulders, radiating from his neck.
Caleb is a light-skinned ginger human, with messy chin-length hair and a beard, wearing a gray tunic with a brown leather coat over it, a thick scarf wrapped around his shoulders. his spell book is just slightly visible at his side.
the characters are facing each other, with Essek standing on the left and Caleb on the right. their right hands are raised between them, hovering under and over a floating hourglass that Essek is offering to Caleb; the violet sand in it is equally distributed between the top and the bottom halves and is not flowing down. Essek has his chin raised with a cool expression of confidence, while Caleb is looking at the hourglass with a deeply conflicted face, his eyebrows furrowed and eyes shining. Caleb's left arm down at his side is engulfed in orange flames.
above them is the dodecahedron shape of a Beacon, pale gray and iridescent; the pentagonal plane facing the viewer is oriented with one of the corners pointing straight down. six silvery threads weave around it, intersecting at nine shining points, one thread each passing behind Essek's and Caleb's heads, and one each wrapping loosely around them. their figures, dark purple and brown, illuminated by the faint glow of the hourglass and the flame, are silhouetted against a much lighter gray and overcast light spilling from tall pointed arches behind them.

Love this from Guillermo del Toro

“Be kind, be involved, believe in your art,” he said. “At a time when people tell you art is not important, that is always the prelude to fascism. When they tell you it doesn’t matter, when they tell you a fucking app can do art you say, if it’s that important, why the fuck do they want it so bad? The answer is because they think they can debase everything that makes us a little better, a little more human. And that, in my book, and in my life, includes monsters.”

Sorry for using comics and art to vent and cope with the world changing around me. I will return to drawing whimsical and silly frog wizards and adventures.

5 panel comic. Panel 1: the adhd alien figure greets her brain, asking if the brain is ready for some work today. Panel 2: the brain is crying and mumbling. Panel 3: the alien is pleading with the brain that they need to get a lot of things done. Panel 4: the brain is hissing like a cat. Panel 5: the alien simply says „ok then“

I saw someone call Ai a Thneed and I can't stop thinking about it. It's a PERFECT analogy. The Thneed was an all-purpose tool that didn't do anything really useful. It was a fad that did major damage to the environment to make the Onceler a billionare. It left no real lasting impact, only damage.

Don’t put down that pencil and for the love of god never listen to anyone who tells you to draw something “nicer.” Find your niche and fill it. You’re the only you, and you’re indispensable.
