Welp It took 15 hours, over 20,000 steps, and 600 more dollars than anticipated, but I’m all packed away in the moving pod and the car. The day may have gone not at all according to plan, but I’m honestly incredibly proud of myself Go team

There are many parts of packing and moving I don’t like, but chief among them all has to be the fact that there is always a certain number of days wherein the ONLY light available in the house is The Big Light. Thankfully it’s only temporary but dear lord I’m strugglin

"I had to use AI in my module because I can't afford an artist!" Did you even ask? The sheer amount of creators out there that are looking for people to write lore for their maps, art, characters, items, etc. is staggering. Put out a call & ask for shares. You'd be amazed at the results.

I miss the optimism, creativity and collaboration of peak TTRPG Twitter. Miss feeling connected. We're all just doing what we can to survive, thinking of the days when we were thriving and working our asses off to get back to that place. Who's got a project going? Let's share some joy!

SPIDER - 2026 My piece for @paulscottcanavan.com 's excellent Mastering Imaginative Realism course. it's the hardest I've ever worked on a single image and has been a total goldmine for technique, research and workflow. sorry if you don't like spiders, I found painting this very healing.
a woman rides into battle perched on the back of an enormous spider, they emerge into sunlight from a glowing green cave, the woman is weilding a glave and is casting a spell that resembles tugging on a spider web. in the foreground a smaller spider is also approaching. image painted as the result of Paul Scott Canavan's excellent mentorship scheme.

Hey everyone. It's been a hell of a year, and it's time to say: I'm moving! It will relieve a lot of pressures, both financial and emotional. However, since losing my job, any savings I had are spent and I need help to reset, so I'm crowdfunding this move. Anything helps <3 gofund.me/b61d2fdd2

It's easy to think of the arts as frivolous entertainment but never forget a lot of artists get into this line of work because they are loyal to something other than money

But if you've got some spare coin for an artist who's trying to fix it so he doesn't have to fight tooth and nail just to make rent every month, then thank you, from the bottom of my heart. I love this community and I hope to keep providing you with inspiration and art for many years to come. ❤️❤️❤️

If each person who follows me could give just $5, that would more than exceed my goals here. If you can't spare anything, please share, it really does help. Times are so tough for everyone right now and there's absolutely 0 pressure to give. Please take care of yourselves first <3 <3 <3

Fitting all of my thoughts and emotions about this into a bluesky post is the hardest thing of all time, so I will simply say: I'm so grateful for the journey I've had and this doesn't mean I'm giving up. It just means I'm trying to pivot to something the works better. I just need help to get there

Cyberpumpkin @cyberpumpkin.bsky.social · 13/09/2026
Hello, Dakota! Congratulations on 1500! Thank you for hosting the artshare! I have been busy with work, so I haven't done any art for a while, but I have plenty to share.

Titled "Exploration in Blue," this piece is set in a dungeon with walls, floor, and ceiling made out of square stone blocks of different sizes. Cyberpumpkin stands 2/3 of the hallway's height. He holds a torch up that creates a circle of light.

Cyberpumpkin's young companion, Rad, stands in front of him, looking at the carvings on the wall. Rad wears overalls, boots, and a magic helmet shaped like a radish.  

On the wall are two pillars with carvings like hieroglyphics. Between the pillars is a smooth area (a door?) with a big winged scarab filling the upper half, and more hieroglyphics in the lower half.

This piece was executed in blue ballpoint pen on the front of a white folder.
This piece is dated 05-06-2001.

This picture is set inside walls made of big heavy cut stones.  In a corner, a spook farmer has set up a vegetable stall.  

The spook wears a wide-brim straw hat with holes to let the ears stick up, as well as pouches for different coins on a leather strap.  The spook stands in the middle of the stall.  

To one side is a wooden bin with sections to hold three different vegetables.  To the other side is a bin with a lower part holding heads of lettuce, and the upper part holds what looks like bundles of asparagus, onions, and some kind of bluish fruit.  

Behind the spook is another multi-level bin with orange and green vegetables on top.  Also in the back is a tall chest of drawers holding bins of dried goods.  

In the front right is a big basket holding what looks like brownish purple fruits.  To the left, in front of the vegetable bins are two big wooden tubs.  One holds what looks like orange and yellow striped gourds, and the other holds small purple and white striped watermelons.

There are hand-drawn signs with little pictures of each item with a price written in.  In the corner of the two stone walls, above the stall, hangs a tapestry showing hills with plowed farm fields, a blue sky and a big yellow sun.
A photo of a man wearing a long-sleeved shirt with the full green top of a tree printed on it, with a small bit of blue sky across the neck and shoulders.  The pants are printed with a bark texture.
A nighttime scene with a clear sky with a moon and stars.  The viewer is looking at a short tower with a round base built into the slope of a grassy hill.  Windows in the sides of the base are open and illuminate patches of the grass.  The tower has a wooden stairway that winds around the outside.  At the top of the tower is a telescope and a little girl yeti waving down at the viewer.
