Stop hate watching propaganda made by Nazis, I beg of you all. I feel like a lot of right wing outlets and pundits would’ve gone under by now if not for the attention their opposition gives them for free, giving them more content to feed off of. They rely on you, stop feeding them ffs

Very cool that M. John Harrison is up for the Booker Prize-- makes me so happy he's still writing, let alone writing potentially award-winning work. The book itself doesn't come out in the states till October 16th, I think, but I'm getting it as soon as I can.

Always notice the timing for any "why I left the left" media-grifters-- usually preceding either some sort of cultural shift or election, etc. But also, makes them among the likes of complete imbeciles like ShoeonHead, a former "progressive" who was always just a fascist pick-me.

New Sun question-- maybe I have a selective bad memory, but for all the details I've internalized, does Mount Typhon have just one head? Or Two? I'd imagine probably just the one, as he's vain enough to not include Piaton or it was constructed before his need for Piaton's body.

finally finished!! #ceramics #werewolves (sold)!

A ceramic wall tile with a yellow background and raw, brown clay borders. A werewolf is curled in on itself and has long hair falling over its body. It has a massive head weighed down by gravity, large teeth visible in a snarl. It tries to covers its face with its hands, fingers spread to reveal an eye staring at the viewer. Its body is naked, scarred and hairy, and still very human; an unchanged ear with a little earring present, and its digits end in blunt human nails. It is framed on all sides with a floral border.

Illustration I did for a demonstration I'll be doing for my students tomorrow about different approaches to rendering. As I've done here, they'll have to work from reference to figure out what kind of rendering style and approach best suits them.

I am watching this AI drama like I'm TMZ right now so after getting exposed for sniping that physics prize by stealing some legit mathematicians' work, and that one quitter who was like "it's gonna kill us all" suddenly elon and sam altman are both are like "hmm maybe we should scale back"

I had this ET game and it is beyond cursed-- some of the jankiest gameplay and the ugliest graphics, it's almost impressive.

Re: the anthropic "human extinction within the decade" stuff-- Not sure if I'm numb to things or have even too much skepticism around ANYTHING these motherfuckers say, but like, AI isn't actually artificial intelligence, and the idea that they could produce an AM/Wintermute seems bullshit to me.

I don't have any attachment to the franchise, but I am looking at the trend as a whole - and within it, what saddens me is the "standardization" of the AD for the remakes MGS Delta, Oblivion remake, now OoT - all have slightly different flavors, but a common palette of artistic devices and assets

re; OOT art direction. If you like it, cool! Too visually noisy for my liking, as most high-fidelity remakes tend to be. But, different strokes for different folks, etc. It doesn't anger me like the Demon's Souls remake did, lol.

A scene from Gene Wolfe's The Book of the New Sun, in which Typhon, a two-headed man is overpowering the protagonist, Severian from the inside of the eye of a mountain sculpted in Typhon's image.

80s Japanese game art clearly influenced by Moebius, Druillet, Corben, etc. slaps so hard. This is one of my favorite illustrations ever.

Happy once again to work with @alzabosoup.bsky.social in making this banner for their podcast episodes on Gene Wolfe's The Devil in a Forest!

An illustration depicting life in a medieval European village. Mercenaries appear entering the composition on the left, a lone rogue leans upon a building's wall and an Abbot is standing on the right, bible in hand. Smoke rises from trees in the background. In the center of the composition is a young boy.

Very excited to share a preview of my piece for @swordcrossdzine.bsky.social! I can't wait to see the other previews start rolling in 👀- there's so much fantastic work in this zine! Preorders are open now and run til September 21! swordcrossdzine.bigcartel.com

A preview image for an illustration in "Sword Cross'd: The Life and Love of Knights", a zine. The art, cropped from a larger watercolor painting, shows a mounted knight with visor raised and lance in hand. Above, in another panel, is a night sky with a moon.

This is a multimedia piece I've been wanting to do for months, character is painted in acrylics on a digital photo manipulation printed background. Also, it's been a while since my monthly experiments had a more playful tone!

Multimedia painting on vertical canvas
Theme: Fantasy / Dark fantasy / Experimental
Character: My OC Lubi, he/him, transmasc
#Artsky #QueerArt #TransArt #DarkFantasy #SwordAndSorcery

This is a mixture of digital and traditional process. First I edited a photo background and added a digital line sketch, which I got printed on imitation canvas, and then finished by painting the character with acrylics. The piece is pretty big - 104 x 139 cm.

The background is a photo of an old wine basement, appearing like a cave with brick walls. I edited it to get a blue and green-yellow palette.

The character is sitting on the floor in the center of the cave, grinning. The nose, mouth and eyes are the only other part of this piece that was done digitally, as I was unsure if I could paint the sharp edges of the design.
He's wearing a hooded cape, which gives the impression of an invisible coat, as its colours reflect the colour of the background in a blurry way. He's wearing a black shirt which extends into a loin cloth with a green, zig-zag edge. The shape of the hood covering his face is a heart. His face is partially shadowed, while red fiery hair is sticking out on the leftside.

He's wearing gauntlets, which are shaded in much more delicate detail than the rest of the character. The metallic shading also extends to the wavy-bladed sword. His boots are red and black, with a somewhat checkered pattern.

Behind him is a wall which is transparent in the middle, having a dreamlike impression. On the wall of the cave which took on the greenish-yellow tint in the photomanipulation process, I painted a torch with a green flame. On the upper left part of the painting is a yellow moon crescent.

Lastly on the top right edge of the painting are a couple of crystals, catching the colours of their surroundings, which makes them almost invisible until you notice them. I really love how these turned out.

If a warlock wanted to curse a genre he could perhaps 1) make every single written work within its confines feature a foreword by the same sex criminal or maybe 2) have the most lucrative entry be authored by a crazed bigot and hang on a minute
