Less compressed version of my Stardew Valley style drawing!

Always wanted to make a villager mod, but I took one look at any sort of coding and panicked.

Less compressed version of my Fire Emblem style drawing!
Fire Emblem Fates had my favorite shading style out of any of the games.

The framing on this is absolutely gorgeous!!!

Your stuff's fantastic and a huge inspiration and I normally scroll in the dead of night and spam like art I am the fool that says nothing. I will remedy this.

For one of my closest friends @dandyisms.bsky.social! No matter what game we're playing, you always bring it to life in the way only a firestarter can!

Please don't light my house on fire!

Three panels are drawn with a duo of characters in each.
Left: An au ra black mage named Dandy uses magic to cook rice, while an au ra named Syke holds the pan out nervously. The background has a stained glass window.
Middle: A person named Lorelei sits on their friend Counterfeit's shoulders, a middle finger pointed over their shoulder. Lorelei's arm is on fire and a police van explodes in the background with the same color of flame.
Right: The asura Helmlighter is lit in blue flames and carried at the end of a staff like a particularly bizarre torch. The sylvari Blisterbloom holds the other end of the staff, observing the dark forest around them as their undead minion floats beside them.

Guy who can't stop talking to save his life. Knows he's actively making the situation worse, but the words won't stop, and it just floods out in a neverending wave until it peeters off into a pathetic little "y'know what I mean?"

No you don't know what he means. And at this point neither does he.

The only way we can fight censorship is by not bending to it. Post it with the CW and you're golden! Bewildered why period sex is a touchy subject. Do people just... expect every person with periods to just never have sex for one week out of every month??

Hoping you're already asleep, but I start making up a story in my head. New characters, designs, storyline... I start drifting the more details I zero in on.

Or maybe focus on your breathing with visualization? On every out breath imagine grass swaying away, then on in it sways towards you.

As a specific example, it's limiting to BDSM expression. From one picture of an intense BDSM scene, moderators could easily say it looks non-consensual, whether it is or not. It's based on interpretation of fantasy, and rules on censoring based on interpretation are usually abused by platforms.

Zombeardie 🧠 COMMS OPEN 🦎 @zombeardie.bsky.social · 16d

It's not looking great for NSFW creators. It's very vague. For artistic fictional depictions, it's a ridiculous rule because how would a work of fantasy... consent? Overall, it's just another way to censor any kink and NSFW expression that the moderators won't like.

Zombeardie 🧠 COMMS OPEN 🦎 @zombeardie.bsky.social · 19d

Hey, how do you tell whether fictional images are "consenting?" Are you just going to look and vibe check whether non-existing characters in art are into it? This is a mess and crippling for free expression in artwork. Did you just not listen to feedback?

A lancer character I had for a bit. Oil Drum and their sentient mech named "Bride." They were horrible for each other. #oc #art #ttrpg #lancer #robot

Also I meant *she there at the start, was typing before the thing loaded and didn't notice! And her titties are great. Just itty bitty. Itty bitty great titties.

He looks so cute in that!! I love when she wears top heavy things like big jackets, with more body tight pants mainly because it highlights her awesome legs 👍

Blisterbloom is a Guild Wars 2 necromancer that I've recently grown extremely fond of. Made myself a character sheet to reference colors and design in the future.

No no, that's perfect. Exactly the reference the people need! 😂

Final drawings from my campaign progression headshots.

Finally there's Adrian and Lucy!

#oc #ocsky #art #dnd #ttrpg

A man is split in two with a more nervous and innocent version of himself on the left and a more serious version on the right. His neck shows cybernetics in both, though the rightmost are more complicated.

A person is split in two, with a more cocky and unbothered version of themself on the left and a more blissed out version on the right. The right version of themself has gold filled scars splintering across their face and a distant and vague expression.

Continuation of my campaign progression headshots.

Next is Sasha and Cinnamon!

#oc #ocsky #art #dnd #ttrpg

A woman is split in two, with a masked version of herself on the left and an unmasked version on the right. The unmasked right version looks more pensive compared to her younger shrouded self.

A satyr is split in two, with a cheerful version on the left while the right is more mischievous looking. The one on the right is missing an eye and wears a new feathered hat.

The campaign I've been in for almost three years is nearing its end. Drew some headshots of the player characters at the start of the campaign and how they look now!

First off is Counterfeit and Lorelei.

#oc #ocsky #art #dnd #ttrpg

A green horned man is split in two, with a more nervous version of himself on the left and a more confident version on the right. He wears a visor on the right and his hair has been slicked back compared to his younger self's shaggy hair.

A woman with burn scars is split in two with a more sinister grinning version of herself on the left and a very slightly less sinister grinning version of herself on the right. The right version of herself has mostly healed from her burns and has put some weight back on. Her neck shows flame tattoos her younger self couldn't have with her open wounds.

The children of the Dread Lord had their own favorite colors, as all children do. While Orin rejoiced in the red of blood spilled, True grew fascinated with the blue of tears that streamed from the eyes of those left behind.

#BG3 #orinthered #durge #oc #fanart #d&d #dnd

Orin the Red and an OC dark urge named True the Blue press close side by side. Orin places one hand over True's left eye and holds the wrist of the True's hand in her right. True puts a finger over Orin's lips in a "hush" motion. Orin is colored in red with a blue outline, while True is colored in blue with a red outline.

The sky's the limit, except for these people, who are underqualified and really should have kept to the ground.

A pixelated ship travels through space with multiple people clinging to it. This version is blown up to view better. From left to right...
Counterfeit: A green man with horns floats on the underside of the ship surrounded by a purple aura. His yellow scarf billows behind him.
Lorelei: On top of the ship, perched on the mounted gun, a mischievously smirking Lorelei lets fire trail from her arm.
Adrian: Sitting on the drives at the bottom, Adrian is distracted by holographic pop ups from his mechanical arm.
Sasha: Sitting casually with her hair blown back behind her is Sasha, letting out a stream of pink chemical gas from her mouth that forms into an impish creature.
Cinnamon: A satyr has fallen from the back and is clinging onto the door to the cargo hold by one hand while the other holds on a hat.
Ulysses: A fully armored individual with glowing hololight wings sails behind the ship, their face obscured.

I went to a reptile convention and saw basically this. It was hilarious with the implication that the first bearded dragon is just fuck ugly or something. Poor dude, loved that guy.

#art #beardeddragons #beardies #reptiles

Two small tanks sit next to each other. One has a beige bearded dragon on a rock, the other has a red bearded dragon on pillows. The first is labeled "bearded dragon" while the other is labeled "beautiful bearded dragon."
