I was commissioned to design and illustrate a tarot card for EtnadRehsif based on his coat of arms! Thanks for the comm! My design commentary at: pilosophos.com/art/etnad-tarot #tarot #heraldry #digitalart

A Four of Pentacles inspired by my coat of arms. Hopping on a bandwagon started by some r/heraldry users making tarot cards from their own heraldry :P pilosophos.com/art/four-of-pentacles #tarot #heraldry #digitalart

A faerie guarding a coin, each stamped with a quatrefoil on my coat of arms and the motto Omnia amittas quae non servantur "You might lose everything that is not saved."

One of a series of Discord server icons I was commissioned to draw, with (usually) few directions other than the title. This one is "Apian Epaulette," which I drew in late March. Further explanation available at pilosophos.com/art/ae-apian-epaulette #digitalart

Watched ep. 1 of the new Ghost in the Shell. It's *good!* I like the Major's pinstripe suit at the end. Since it's gonna be more faithful to the original manga, are we finally gonna get the lesbian cybersex scene animated? #ghostintheshell #digitalart

Boy howdy I went and made another coat of arms, this one just for myself. ALSO I drew a bonus fae-cat crest. Time to petition the Canadian Heraldic Authority to recognize the fae-cat as a heraldic animal. #heraldry #digitalart #coatofarms

Escutcheon: Or, a quatrefoil pierced and conjoined at the petals with a square voided Sable.

Crest: A demi-faerie passant winged and crined Or vested of a dress Sable holding a paintbrush Tenné bristled and garnished Argent tipped of the first.

Motto: Omnia amittas quae non servantur. This Latin phrase means “You may lose everything that is unsaved”.

A demi-fae-cat crest. Atop is the slogan "IF I FITS I SITS"

A coat of arms for my RP char Camille "Rosy" Grey, a black hat hacker who specializes in covert entry and uses drones to case her target location. Usually I have some kind of in-universe reason for giving my characters a CoA, but none this time. I just like making these. #heraldry #digitalart

Blazon: Party per fess Bleu Celeste and Sable, a rose proper leaved and slipped by a wreath of thorns Vert, pendent therefrom three keys Argent.

For a crest: On a kettle hat Sable, a drone affronty surveillant Or.

For a motto: NOWHERE IS OFF LIMITS

So that's how digital signatures are made... (source: "Mint-chan Wants To Log In With Key Authentication" by Piro)

PANEL 1
Ohno-senpai: "The private key and public key are like a chick and an egg that are born at the same time. These two keys (the keypair) have some strange properties."

PANEL 2
Ohno-senpai: "When you give Private Key-kun some data..."

PANEL 3
Mint-chan: "Mm..? Something's happening..?"

PANEL 4
Mint-chan: "Dowa! Something came out!"

Callout: [The original data that you gave it is returned as-is.]

Ohno-senpai: "Just like that, you get a very small piece of data. This is called a digital signature."
