Messing around with new concept art for Zanza territory in the deserts of #Ha-Nahn. There are wonders there if you're willing to let yourself see them. (I'll throw an older piece in too, why not).

concept art of desert territory with large monolithic eye stones (strange stones with holes carved out of them). On the top one has a large stone like that in the foreground with desert sand stretching to the horizon a rocky outcroppings recede into the distance.

The other on the bottom has a single major eye stone that we're looking at from a slightly lowered angle. There are thin clouds and a sun high above.

Sun Titan

An image of a giant seen from the waist up. He’s holding a spear and illuminated by a harsh desert sun. A rocky outcropping with memorial stones placed into them surrounds a small figure in the foreground that shields his eyes from the radiance. The image is done in yellows, oranges and browns.

Jo: "Sigh. It's okay, Jo. You got this."
2. Jo, frowning, looking away, as she rings a doorbell. "DING DONG"
3. POV is slightly behind Jo.
"Well, well, well. Look who's come crawling back." says a.. rectangular light box character. The words "Therapy Light" appear on the character, who also has arms and legs. It leans smugly with one arm against the door frame.

1. Jo sits on the ground with an English Spot rabbit on her lap.
Jo, frowning: "Ugh why am I always so tired?!"
Rabbit: "You probably need to drink more water."
2. Jo: "I thought my sleep hasn't been THAT bad."
Rabbit: "I never see you drinking enough water."
3. Jo: "It feels like a mystery -"
Rabbit places his paws on Jo's face and brings her up close to his face. He frowns at her: "YOU ARE A DRIED UP RAISIN. DRINK MORE WATER."

2. Tabby cat: "It'll keep you awake as you need to make a million pee trips! Woohoo! Look at her go!"
In the distance, Jo can be seen running frantically. Her face is full of panic as she holds her hands near her groin.
3. Tabby cat, while swaying her arms: "Perfect your pee dance now! And burn extra calories as you face for your life!"
Jo is in the background, hands in fists, face in pain, one knee up, working on her pee dance.

Once again, don't mind if I do! Artists, show us how you draw Black women.

A black and white painting of a woman with a stern countenance, curly black hair and a single white streak along her left side. A large owl sits on her shoulder. The woman's face looks a bit like Gina Torres.

Goddess of Dreams
A goddess clad in pale blues and gold floats above the walls of an Egyptian styled city. She has an embroidery hoop in one hand that looks like a night sky with a thread of sky and stars. The desert beneath her has a row of obelisks leading to the city gates.

High Priestess Tarot Card
An image of a woman in a blue dress seated upon a throne with moon symbols on it looking down imperiously. She is surrounded by stones, gnarled trees and a stone circle behind her head. Her hair moves as though it's being blown by a strong wind or moved by ocean currents. Her dress flows into a waterfall that turns into a pool that flows into the foreground.

Race Against Time
A digital painting of a Black woman in a red dashiki inspired outfit, dreads and glasses races through a tunnel running from some sort of monstrous demonic creature firing bolts of magic at her from far behind. She carries a gnarled staff indicating her status as a mage and the staff is glowing with bright yellow light.

Thinking about new business cards for the first time in forever and I'm wondering if this should be the image I base it around.

Nature’s Aegis
An image of a Black non-binary person in a rainforest environment. They are a mage and the painting is done primarily in a green pallet. They’re channeling nature magic into a protective cloak that trails away from her shoulders and arcs gracefully across the page. They look over their shoulder at it serenely and is seen from a slightly raised angle. Small calligraphic symbols can be seen throughout the image.

I saw a *really* dumb Quora question in my email and couldn't resist.

Question: I claimed to be a transgender woman to avoid military service, and now I'm being asked for proof. What should I do?

Answer: I believe the next step is to repeatedly double down on convincing them: buying clothes, choosing a new name, learning makeup, getting a new haircut, training your voice, getting facial hair removal, starting hormones, etc. Along the way, you might also meet an attractive man or woman (depending on your preferences, which might surprise you) who falls in love with the new you, not knowing that it’s all a ruse; you feel intensely guilty about playing along, but you‘re too into them to turn them down. Eventually you realize that you didn’t really do it to avoid military service—it was the truth all along, and now you get to live as a woman for real and become the attractive man or woman’s wife.

At least, that’s how it goes in the trans fiction I’ve read. I’m sure real life works the same way!

Closer look at Turtle Town!

A closer view of a bunch of different turtles lounging on some rocks. coins can be seen at the bottom of the pond. Those turtles work hard for the money.

A ledge on the the right side with a more conservative collection of turtles, with a few swimming in the background.

A closer close-up of some of the turtles. One smaller turtle is a bigger turtle's backpack. In the background, I suspect a few of those turtles are having a business meeting.

Completed in 2018, it stretches 23 fucking storeys. Holy fuck. 44,667 gallons of paint was used to create this mural. I am incapable of describing it.
