A rare post from me to flail about how excited I am to have sent my first donation of $445 to the Immigrant Defense Network through sales of my piece Minnesota Spite! You may have seen a similar AI-generated piece floating around on shady popup sites, but only the original supports local causes.

Print depicts a stylized loon baring cartoonish bloodied razor teeth. The spots on its wings and backside are morphed to form the letters "NO MORE MINN ESOTA NICE"

great work everybody! you did it! you bullied a random stranger off the website because you've never seen the "you are a tar pit" post before and had to make your ignorance their problem. what an absolutely dogshit site culture. desperate to be victimized from every angle possible.

Niram, the Hand of Entropy, done for @drudenkreuz.bsky.social

A drow (dark elf) portrait, character facing left. He has long, pointed ears that compliment his elegant face. His hair is white and receding, short cropped and swept back. There is a small mole near his mouth, which is downturned. His eyes are red and hooded. He wears a blue cravat and a navy blue robe embroidered with gold in the shape of small skulls. The background is black and framed with a gold border of skulls with skeletal hands.

painting self indulgent art of a Fallout OC, my boy Vasco! He got robot-ed against his will. #fallout #falloutoc

A man lies mostly supine on a metal gurney, his limp body slightly twisted at an angle, and his head slightly turned. His skin is tan and heavily scarred on the face, his hair is short and black, and his cracked eyes unnaturally glint different colors of blue and brown. He wears a black partial bodysuit with metallic contours and red ports, neck and arms exposed. Wires and cables trail from an offscreen source into an unseen port on his backside, as well as visibly open ports in his chest, neck, and skull. His left arm is robotic, and similarly bound by cables. A harsh light illuminates his expressionless face, reminiscent of a halo.

Sphinx based off a spartan kylix design. I liked her janky wings and their forward placement; it reminded me more of harpy arms than the usual way sphinxes are depicted so I had to draw herrrrr (and also rescue her headless birds)

A sphinx and two birds drawn in typical colors of greek terracotta pottery, but stylized with more modern linework. Rather than her wings being on her back, they are in the position of arms, similar to a harpy. She stands against the backdrop of a watery garden, facing right.

The original pottery piece on which the drawing is based. It is somewhat crude, and shows signs of having been patch repaired, leaving the birds without heads.

HEAR ME OUT

>be me
>thinking about colors
>colors are different wavelengths of light
>light=energy
>energy follows the laws of physics
>entropy is a law of physics
>wtf is entropy

low entropy=energy concentrates
high entropy= energy spreads
law of entropy=energy is predisposed to disperse evenly

consider the circle and the sphere:
circle= even 2d distribution of energy
sphere= even 3d distribution of energy

what if... color models are predisposed to form into circles and spheres when "all" ranges are evenly included?

presenting: THE SHRIMP SPHERE
aka. "wouldn't it be sick as hell if there was a color model that 'included' the colors that mantis shrimp can see"

Color is a wavelength of light (energy) that is visible to the human eye. But just because a wavelength of light is unperceivable to humans, does that mean its color does not exist?

Consider the Mantis Shrimp: it has 12 different types of photoreceptors in its eyes, whereas humans only have 3. What can the Mantis Shrimp see, that humans do not? Are the colors it perceives only hypothetical because humans cannot perceive them? Or can it be decided that the Shrimp’s colors exist, because it can be assumed that they would?

In a hypothetical exhibition of this color model, the sphere would be constructed with a multitude of nodes. Each of these nodes would emit or reflect and absorb a specific wavelength of energy. Then, using math, the wavelengths of energy would be evenly and 3-dimensionally spaced apart, until it forms a sphere.

Within the sphere, there are two kinds of nodes:
Positive nodes, and Negative nodes.

Positive nodes emit light (energy), and within the visible spectrum are perceived as “additive color.”
Negative nodes reflect and absorb light (energy), and within the visible spectrum are perceived as “subtractive color.”

The resulting construction would probably be reminiscent of the HSL color sphere, however because the Shrimp Sphere includes wavelengths of energy invisible to the human eye, large sections of it would likely appear to be empty whiteness or blackness. In this way, the Shrimp Sphere is ultimately just a demonstration of both the limits and potential of human perception.

How It Works

upper range: invisible to the human eye and probably damaging to the human body (eg. UV light, x-rays, gamma rays)

center: ("white") limit of human perception of additive color

range of visible light: range between the center (white) and the human limit of perceiving subtractive color (black)

"black": limit of human perception of subtractive color

lower range: wavelengths too low to be detectable by the human eye (eg. infrared light, radio waves)

north pole: infinite mass of energy (eg. God, probably)

south pole: complete absence of energy (eg. void of outer space)

---

Intersections with Other Color Models

human vision of additive color: sits on the upper half of the range of visible light

human vision of subtractive color: sits on the lower half of the range of visible light

gamut of human visual perception: sits in the additive color vision range, with the white point in the middle. this is demonstrated in the diagram with the CIE lab gamut, which contains the subtractive model of color, thus the placement in the upper half of the visible light range.

if the CIE lab gamut were to be integrated more accurately into the Shrimp Sphere it would probably sit within it in a shape reminiscent of the CIE 1964 chromaticity model, with the "white point" in the center of the sphere

thou shalt not literally create the shrimp sphere

Clay handmade earrings of a coyote and a white rabbit. They are very simple in shape and stylized and loosely based off of Zuni sculptures. The coyote has natural brown /grey coloring with black eyes. The rabbit has a pink mouth and red eyes.

Remembering the time I drew my #dnd party when they were babies 🐥 Yuri, Niram, Sayid (unfortunate Ilmaterite aasimar, hence the bloody tears) and Khulan.

Baby versions of DND team, one is a happy human baby with rosy red cheeks, smiling and drooling with a cartoon horse swaddle, the other is a sleepy drow infant with purple skin and white eyelashes in a black onesie.

Baby versions of DND characters. Left-hand baby is a crying Ilmaterite aasimar, the tears resemble blood. He is wearing a blue onesie with ruffles. The right hand infant is a big bear baby girl with a pink bow and green onesie with swirls. She is in a hanging pose like a baby monkey might and looks slightly displeased.

Turnarounds of the main boys from my #fallout RP with @ninamodaffari.bsky.social and @mesaak.bsky.social . Very happy with these and how they forced me to be more thoughtful with my choices when drawing. Animated versions are on my tumblr! spin spin spin spin #falloutoc | #animation

Three animation turnarounds depicting a slightly-built young man with extremely pale skin, white hair, and brown eyes. One eye is bloodshot, and his face/arms show signs of sunburn. He is intersex, and has slight breast tissue. Along his sides are gill-like slits. The first row depicts him mostly nude. The second row depicts him dressed in overalls and a mustard yellow shirt. The third row depicts him in a hat, red goggles, an olive jacket with a Followers of the Apocalypse cross patch, and a bulletproof vest. He carries a brown satchel.

Three animation turnarounds of an NCR ranger from Fallout. He is bearded and has dark blonde hair that is half-shaven on the right side, where a large scar pokes past his hairline. His left ring finger is missing. The first row depicts him shirtless, displaying his blue star bottlecap necklace and heavy scarring, which includes whip marks on his backside and a claw mark across his chest, resulting in a missing left nipple. The second row depicts him dressed, with a riot armor chest plate over a white workshirt and red bandana. He also has gloves, a holster, and a kneepad. The third row depicts him in full ranger gear with a rifle sling carrying a sniper rifle.

Three animation turnaround sets of a small-statured man with tan skin, short black hair, and significant scarring around his jaw and neck. He has heterochromia, one eye brown and the other icy blue. His left arm is missing, capped at the bicep by a metal piece. Embedded in his chest and along his spine are cybernetic parts. The first row depicts him shirtless, displaying these parts. The second row displays him in a tight-fitting cyber suit. His missing arm has been replaced with a bladed cybernetic, and an explosive collar is embedded directly into the flesh of his neck. The third row depicts him mostly obscured under a red hooded cloak.

Three animation turnaround sets of a cowboy ghoul OC from Fallout. The lower left half of his face is torn away, and he only has a few strands of hair. The top row depicts him shirtless, displaying the burned appearance of his head, shoulders, and upper arms. The second row depicts him clothed in a duster, hat, and bandana that are all black. The third row depicts the same outfit, but with added gear: a sheathed machete, bandolier, spurs, holsters, and a cigarette. Very important.

skarmory evo line from a while back! it's hard work being one of approximately ten skarmory enjoyers, but it's honest work #pokemon | #fakemon

Three drawings depicting a fake evolutionary progression for the pokemon Skarmory. First is named Scrublade, a compact metal chick with no legs, red down around its neck, and a forked red blade tail. Second is Skarmory, a metal bird with bladed red wings and a sharp crest on its head. Third is named Gyrfalchion, a larger metal bird with a red blade fan crest, a red tail, and bladed red wings like Skarmory's. There is a diagram beside it showing how its lower beak tip shows through a hole in its upper beak. All three share the same yellow eyes with red pupils.

Hello #PortfolioDay! I'm an illustrator currently working in the ttrpg and indie game spaces. 💌emilylorange@gmail.com 🔗https://emilylorange.com 🥃https://www.tumblr.com/emilylorange 🖼️https://cara.app/emilylorange 🐘https://mastodon.art/@emilylorange 🖨️https://www.inprnt.com/gallery/emilylorange/

a collection of painted 'swords' organized into four rows, oriented with hilt in the bottom left, and tip on the top right, on a neutral, dark grey background. each sword is a strange and fantastical interpretation of a word written in grey text below them. some of the words included are: 'void' (sword resembles a black hole), 'storm' (sword resembles lightning emanating from a cloud), 'mountain' (sword resembles a mountain peak), 'spicy' (sword resembles a smoking chili), 'star' (sword resembles an image of the sun with a solar flare), 'Flowers' (sword resembles a thistle), 'fossil' (sword resembles a trilobite), 'forest' (sword resembles three trees in autumn), 'arachnid' (sword resembles a spiders web in a branch), 'molten' (sword resembles blown glass that has not yet cooled)

a digital painting of an anthropomorphic duck, from about the waist up. she is wearing hockey gear, most prominently a mighty ducks jersey, and her stick is slung over her shoulder. her hair is bright red, and her expression grim, looking to the right of the image. behind her can be seen abstract shapes that suggest a crowd in a stadium, as seen from the ice.

a square digital painting, showing a collection of growing flowers, leaves, and berries. the image has been abstracted, such that the colors are very saturated, and the shapes have been made more square and linear than is likely true. the main focus of the image is a collection of bright purple flowers, surrounded in the foreground by yellow-green leaves in sunlight, with purple vines between. dotted around are green and black collections of berries with blue reflections of sky. the background is blue-green shapes that suggest foliage.

some client work right up my alley ( #drow ? dapper little suits? red glows? yipppeee!) for user kirkegarde on tumblr, an OC from the ttrpg Heart: The City Beneath. #ttrpg #heartttrpg

A drow with short, neatly-styled black hair and violet skin faces the viewer. He wears round pince-nez glasses, a blue waistcoat, a white shirt, and a bowtie-- all give him a very neat and clerical appearance. His stance is nervous, one hand in the pocket of his waistcoat and the other lifted to clutch his shoulder. Behind him is a specter of himself, illuminated in red. He is disheveled, shirt undone, and waving around a revolver with one hand while gripping the fore-figure's opposite shoulder. He grins with inhumanly sharp teeth, and his right eye has been blown through in a gory mess, presumably by the revolver he holds.

After WEEKS I am finally done with my reference sheet for my DnD OC, Yuri Galkin, who you may have seen floating (flying?) around sometimes. This is only part one, his weapon(s) alternate forms and pets (he has a lot) as well as inventory are soon to come.

Reference sheet of a Dungeons and Dragons character, Yuri Galkin. Reference sheet contains a front and back view, hand callout, weapon callout, mouth and tattoo callouts. Yuri is a tiefling warlock with peach-colored skin that gradients to a darker red in some areas. He has black horns and a long, spade-like tail. He has a pair of wings that are both feathered and bat-like. He wears a tight black top with a hole cut in the center, revealing his chest beneath. His pants are brown leather with a belt and black sash beneath. He wears thigh-high boots with silver rivets and black laces. He wears two gloves, one longer and the other shorter. His fingernails are long and black and pointed.

A fanart of Wyll Ravengard from the game Baldur's Gate 3, a young black man with braided hair, light stubble, and a scar on his jaw. He is emerging from a black background with his rapier held up, expression fearful. He is illuminated by a ball of flame in his other hand that is held near his face. Molten liquid trickles out of his fiery hand, as well as from his cursed eye, the pupil of which glows with a flaming heart. Two spectral feminine hands wrap around him from the darkness behind.
