A new ttrpg boy, Etienne -- telekinetic psionic drow for a homebrew 4e campaign. He's a workaholic naval officer who is zero fun, kind of a bitch, and under a lot of stress. u_u I love him
portrait of a drow elf in pseudo-regency era aesthetic. He is wearing various shades of black with a fancy ruffle cravat, has short slicked back hair, glowing pink eyes, and a beauty mark under his left eye. There are dark circles under his eyes and he isn't smiling as he adjusts the cuff of his shirtsleeve.

I am trying to be normal about the ocarina of time remake because artistic preference is subjective. But the femme'd up Sheik design really bums me out.

A sketch of a lil' catguy being held by two large hands under his armpits. His ears are airplaning and his tail is twitching angrily, his expression is annoyed but he's not trying to get down. He's holding a knife. The text says "He's a Rescue."

I know it's just a popular naming convention but I balk at "I read/watched/played [blank] so you don't have to" style content. Actually it's good to engage with the media to form your own thoughts! Media analysis should be active and another person's take should be in conversation with your own

I made so many friends by regularly interacting with each other’s work! It also encouraged a community vibe. 12 regulars commenting felt satisfying af - now art is considered to be a dud if it doesn’t hit at least triple digits Also you were meant to browse not scroll. Active vs passive engagement.
