Modern Au Jester But She's Wearing Clothes That I Actually Own 💕

As a fellow gnome, I'll handle the talking.

Redraw of this great little moment in Vox Machina: Origins Vol. 2 when Scanlan, Keyleth and the twins are looking for Grog and meet Pike for the first time - and Scanlan is struck speechless :D (which is a huge thing, for a bard, especially this one!) He just stares at her with heart eyes in the two pages after this one and doesn't utter a single word until she scries on Grog and gasps (at which point he drops all pretence of chill and worriedly asks "Was it Grog? Is he all right?" GOD I LOVE MY BIG AND SMALLS.) (anyway.)

I'll just let the man describe this moment in his own words (ie. his "do not open till I'm dead" letter to Pike):

The moment I first saw you was not a choir of angels singing, nor silly butterflies fluttering in my chest. No, the moment I met Pike Trickfoot was the tragic moment I realized that my heart, my soul, would be forever incomplete without you.

That darn bard is good with words, huh :D Provided he has the brainspace for it, anyway.

WIP of an assignment for class of my DnD character Rosalie ✨🧁🩷

I took a little art class this evening, and I decided to make my boy Caleb my subject! I used Toby Stephens as a reference, though I made some changes to the nose, chin, and hair. :)

Pencil on paper.

normal reaction to essek btw.

A good relationship with someone you love starts with a good relationship with yourself. Taking care of your body means taking care of your mind. Taking care of *her* becomes that much easier...

i doodled this as a joke,, but bluesky loved it for some reason so i’ll post it here 🧎

hot boi 💜

Lots of thoughts recently. Everything feels plastic.

I could go on and on about why all that AI "art" is bad. I could mention theft, lack of creativity, it's impact on the work field and environment, but countless people have already said all that. I wanted to touch on something that to me is the most utterly wrong about all of it.

Art is more than just something pretty to look at or listen to. It's therapeutic. It's a form of communication. A tool for human connection. It's a pure, human need.

unbelievably, I can't magically animate just cause I found a tragic audio
