Fix your hearts or die. You know how many of us joke that Pride month should be followed by Wrath? This year I feel a deep, burning fury towards all who use transgender lives as political propaganda. We are human beings. You cannot erase us. Happy Pride. Trans liberation at any cost. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️
A digital illustration showing a knight in full armour. They are riding on a black steed which is mostly out of frame. The frame in question is green and shows a chain going around as a decorative element. That chain is broken by the knight's raised sword. From the knight's chest bursts a roaring flame in the colours of the trans pride flag.

An early fright 🐈‍⬛ "Carmilla" by Sheridan Le Fanu is coming this October in a gorgeous leather-bound special limited edition from Lyra's Books. I made 14 illustrations that are hand-tipped into each copy. This was a dream project, and I can't wait to share more info in the coming weeks!

Did you know I've done work on a board game? The team at Zero Strategy Games reached out, and I worked on the card backs and some icons for their eldritch horror board game The Sheep. You can buy it here! zerostratgames.com/products/the... Photos courtesy of Zero Strategy Games

Microsoft wants to build three massive AI data centres in Leeds. It’ll drain thousands of litres of water from the River Aire and become the city's biggest carbon emitter. We can still stop the council's final sign-off, but we need more voices. Add your name: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/pr...

Slightly late but happy birthday Baldur's Gate 3! I was lucky enough to playtest and do some QA for the game, and I'm so glad to see how well it's done long term. Looking forward to what the team is cooking up for Divinity 🙏 Here's a piece of music I made as a theme for Dark Urge! #bg3

An NPC from an upcoming project by @galaptia.bsky.social ! 👀 Tried a new method for this piece after reading some of James Gurney's books :) [ #TTRPGArt | #DnDArt | #OC | #OCsky ]
A digital illustration of a young, pale-skinned man in a mid-stride, contrapposto pose, smiling widely at the viewer. His shoulder-length brown hair blows in the wind, which also affects the movement of his clothes. He wears large round glasses, brown pants and boots, a teal blue poncho with white fringe, brown binoculars around his neck, and a straw sombrero de charro with a red, embroidered rim. The sombrero’s embroidery consists of repeating alchemical symbols of the five classical elements. The poncho is embroidered along the collar and edge in blue, yellow, and red in a zigzag pattern. The man holds a scroll and pink-red orchid in one hand, while the other is hidden. Watermark: "Illustration for an upcoming Galaptia project".

I still rather like this Blood Meridian piece I did a while back-- especially the fire, largely using one very textured brush.
An illustration, rendered in Black and White, based on Cormac McCarthy's western novel, Blood Meridian. A tall, starkly lit towering figure looms above a bonfire, addressing the other men sitting around it.
