One year since we moved to Vermont and I haven't gotten tired of being reminded every day why it was the right choice.

The way I can't find the words for how much this shot struck me. #AKOTSK I wish I was stupid rich so I could commission every artist to draw it and wallpaper a room with them.

After a very long hiatus, I'm so happy to be back painting again (and hopefully more regularly now!) Finished this miniature of my late Bloodhunter Thorne from our Curse of Strahd campaign on stream with @fafnyr.bsky.social yesterday. 🙏 #miniature #minipainting

Photo of a painted miniature on a holder, front view. The miniature is a rugged male figure holding a sword, with red glowing blood magic around his off-hand. He wears layered cloaks, and a heavy scarf.

Couldn't resist a new #DotD with my yule log. 🎄🔥 Bayer 4x4, Gameboy palette.

Really simple snow material I created for this. I wanted to lean into the more abstract, cartoon style, and punch up the elements that make snow look so dazzling.

André Ouellette @andrekrat.bsky.social · 06/12/2025

An element I'm really happy with in this is the procedural fire I animated in #AfterEffects inspired by an experiment with @seewut.tv, then brought over to #Cinema4D using some basic XPresso and the vectorizer object.

Feeling extra festive and grateful for the snowy weather this season. It's something I didn't know how much I missed until I had it again. A little Yule Log animation to celebrate and share the magic 🔥🎄 #mograph #3d

It felt a little like a cheat to make the last four pieces for #Swordtember a quadriptych, but I do also really like how they all come together. I knew I was putting a lot on an already full plate when I saw @faithschaffer.bsky.social's prompts for the month, but I'm so glad I did it. ⚔️

Coming in right under the wire for the first day of #Swordtember! We'll see if I keep up with it, but was particularly inspired by the fighting conch for #01 - Shell. Beyond just decoration, the conch proves a deadly ally on this falchion.
