commission for @aceofbasedesires.bsky.social, who requested an illustration of one of the scenes in @violettressed.bsky.social's fic 'The Bone That Has No Marrow' (link in the replies)! #shadowgast

digital fanart of Essek and Caleb from Critical Role, illustrating a scene from "The Bone That Has No Marrow", a fanfiction by ao3 user VioletTressed. Essek is a young-looking dark elf with pale grayish-purple skin, shoulder-length wavy white hair, and small pointed ears. he is wearing a dark purple outfit that consists of a long-sleeved fitted turtleneck, a tunic with geometric pleating and wide shoulders, and dark leggings. Caleb is a human in his early forties, with light freckled skin and dark auburn chin-length hair and beard with streaks of white in them. he is dressed in a white collared shirt, the rest of his torso hidden under a blanket.
Essek is sitting cross-legged on the wooden floor against the side of a bed. there is a pillow in his lap, and Caleb's head is resting on it. one of Essek's palms is resting against Caleb's chest, while the other hand is hovering over Caleb's hair, just shy of touching. Essek's head is bent down, watching the sleeping Caleb with a tired and conflicted expression.
on top of the soft cheerful quilt on the bed behind them, there is a rigid supine figure covered with a white sheet. the night scene is illuminated by the gentle orange-yellow shine of a crystal set on a nearby nightstand, as well as a much more muted glow of luminescent tree fungi growing on one of the wooden beams supporting the wall. the shelves above the bed are full of various knick-knacks and containers, bunches of drying flowers suspended from the ceiling. a round window just above the bed overlooks some treetops and a slightly clouded grayish night sky.

do enjoy contemplating the idea that Oruggio made the Raincleaver for Qifrey when Qifrey went on his sad little soul-searching adventure (click on those bad boys for better quality and more details!) #WHA #WitchHatAtelier #WHAspoilers

digital drawing of Oruggio from Witch Hat Atelier, picturing him working on enchanting a sword. he is depicted as a young adult of average build, with short straight black hair and an untrimmed goatee; he is barefoot and dressed in a comfortable attire of short trousers and a roomy, v-necked tunic, its sleeves tied up and out of the way. he is sitting at a table, hunched over his work in concentration, his face tired. one of his feet is propped up on a short stack of books, the other resting on the ground; his left hand is wrapped around the handle of the longsword, which is lying partially on the table. he is carving glyphs into the blade with his pen in the other hand, sparks flying from under the nib. around him, various objects are arranged in stacks: books, ink pots, a vase with quills, a magical light, and his witch hat. the drawing is washed with warm sepia tones.

digital drawing of Qifrey from Witch Hat Atelier, depicting him standing in the rain, holding the sword from the previous drawing. Qifrey is a young adult, tall and lanky, with curly light hair that is weighted down with the rainwater; he is dressed in his usual dark turtleneck, long tunic, trousers, boots and a cloak that is thrown over the heavy traveling pack he is carrying on his back. he is wearing his witch hat, and he is clutching the end of its long black ribbon close to his stomach. the handle of the longsword is in his right hand, hanging almost limply at his side. the point of the sword is resting on the ground and cleaving a small puddle in half, the water rising at the edges of the parting. his face is turned downwards, and his brows are drawn in anguish. behind him, there is a bare skeletal tree barely clinging onto the rocky ground he is standing on. the drawing is washed with shades of blue.

happy valentine's day, friends! 💜 #shadowgast

digital fanart of Essek and Caleb from Critical Role. Essek is a drow with light purple skin and short white hair, dressed in an ensemble of a dark form-fitting shirt and trousers with silver embroidery; his torso is wrapped in a hishi karada, plain ropes tied in a repeated diamond pattern over his clothes. Caleb is a light-skinned human with chin-length red hair and a beard, wearing a simple white shirt, underarm holsters and dark pants.
they are lounging on a settee, looking at each other. Essek is sitting with his legs crossed, holding a glass of wine in his right hand; Caleb is leaning in to Essek, his left hand resting low on Essek's stomach, with the thumb sliding underneath and slightly tugging on the ropes leading down between Essek's legs.

You can become disabled in an instant. People think those of us who are sick did “something” to deserve it. We didn’t. The just world fallacy is a lie. It just takes one illness, accident or stroke of bad luck to forever change your life. Disability is not a moral failing.

This quote from Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell has been in my head the last few days

You develop an instant global consciousness, a people orientation, an intense dissatisfaction with the state of the world, and a compulsion to do something about it. From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch

finally finished a painting i've been cooking in my mind for a few years! shadowgast as The Devil, one of my favorite tarot cards and one of the three cards i associate with their relationship #CriticalRole #CriticalRoleFanArt #shadowgast

a painting of Critical Role characters Essek Thelyss and Caleb Widogast, based on the Rider-Waite Tarot's The Devil. it is styled like a square painting on a vertically oriented tan canvas, with narrow unpainted strips above and below it. a looping leaning script reads "XV" above and "The Devil" below.
Essek is a dark elf with gray-lavender skin and short white hair, dressed in elegant long dark robes and a silvery metal mantle piece, with the breastplate shaped like a beetle's back and long spikes curving off of his shoulders, radiating from his neck.
Caleb is a light-skinned ginger human, with messy chin-length hair and a beard, wearing a gray tunic with a brown leather coat over it, a thick scarf wrapped around his shoulders. his spell book is just slightly visible at his side.
the characters are facing each other, with Essek standing on the left and Caleb on the right. their right hands are raised between them, hovering under and over a floating hourglass that Essek is offering to Caleb; the violet sand in it is equally distributed between the top and the bottom halves and is not flowing down. Essek has his chin raised with a cool expression of confidence, while Caleb is looking at the hourglass with a deeply conflicted face, his eyebrows furrowed and eyes shining. Caleb's left arm down at his side is engulfed in orange flames.
above them is the dodecahedron shape of a Beacon, pale gray and iridescent; the pentagonal plane facing the viewer is oriented with one of the corners pointing straight down. six silvery threads weave around it, intersecting at nine shining points, one thread each passing behind Essek's and Caleb's heads, and one each wrapping loosely around them. their figures, dark purple and brown, illuminated by the faint glow of the hourglass and the flame, are silhouetted against a much lighter gray and overcast light spilling from tall pointed arches behind them.

it was high time i painted another good old portrait of our favorite fancy guy Essek Thelyss! #art #CriticalRole #CriticalRoleFanArt #EssekThelyss

digital portrait of Essek Thelyss from Critical Role, looking at the viewer with a barely-there soft smile and keen eyes, his hands folded in front of his chest. he is a young-looking dark elf with light lavender skin and shoulder-length white hair. he has chiseled features with prominent cheekbones and nose, a sharp jawline, thick eyebrows and violet eyes; his upper lip is asymmetric, the right half being noticeably taller than the left. he is wearing sharp teal eyeliner on his lower eyelids. his hair is artfully pinned back, some strands swirling into two small buns and the rest curling onto his shoulders. he is dressed in a thick voluminous black cloak, the sleeves folding at the bend of his elbows, revealing slightly longer straight wide sleeves with dusky mauve embroidery, reminiscent of the internal structure of ammonite shells; these sleeves in turn reveal another pair of long tight sleeves, with denser embroidery. on top of his robes, he is wearing a piece of decorative organic-looking armor consisting of a short breastplate and pauldrons. they are perlescent white, and the ridges and long spikes curving up off of his shoulders are similar to the shapes of conch shells.
the painting utilizes a limited color palette of dusky purples, mauve, grays and pale green.

“When participants used ChatGPT to draft essays, brain scans revealed a 47 percent drop in neural connectivity across regions associated with memory, language, and critical reasoning. Their brains worked less, but they felt just as engaged—a kind of metacognitive mirage. Eighty-three percent of heavy Al users couldn't recall key points from what they'd "written, compared to only 10 percent of those who composed unaided.
Neutral reviewers described the Al-assisted writing as "soulless, empty, lacking individuality." Most alarmingly, after four months of reliance on Chat GPT, participants wrote worse once it was removed than those who had never used it at all.
The study warns that when writing is
delegated to Al, the way people learn fundamentally changes.”
