decided on a new sword design, and then caught the inspiration bug and ended up drawing my whole inventory 🐈🎀🎨

Art of various fantasy RPG items, including: A Shortsword and its scabbard (The shortsword has a 25 inch blade and is 32 inches total in length), playing cards, a rolled up quest scroll, a coin pouch with a few gold pieces scattered beside it, a waistbag, three mana potions and one health potion, a booklet with an ink pen beside it, a compass with a sundial, a waterskin, a handkerchief, a set of TTRPG dice, a lantern, a matchbook, a folded up map, and a round shield with a flower motif on its face

Been on a Discworld binge so finally decided to draw Carrot and Angua! Wanted to capture some of Angua's werewolfness in her human form, which I think kinda worked. Background image from Peter Dennis via google images, then blurred.

Carrot and Angua from Discworld stand together. Carrot is smiling and waving at someone nearby, while Angua is growling and pulling out her sword.

Jumping on the Petra Parker trend. Ever since I saw the first Petra Parker stumble onto my feed, I had exactly one joke in mind and it wouldn't leave until I drew it! Also perspective is hard. First time drawing a city like this haha.

Petra Parker, a transition AU of Spiderman, is swinging through the city. J Jonah Jameson sees this and opens his window to shout at the menace: He's a- DAMMIT - SHE'S a menace!
He's not a bigot, he just hates Spiderpeople.
Petra gives him a little gesture to say 'ayy, getting there Jonah!'

Made a new profile picture at last with my favourite Pokémon. (My partner and her favourite can be seen at the back. They are not fans)

Taking a selfie with Trubbish, while my partner holds her nose and tries to hide herself from other people, pretending she isn't with me. Her favourite Pokémon Talonflame is also holding its nose with its wing. Me and Trubbish are very happy, my partner and her bird are not.

followup to dream phone design, took some ideas from people I liked. It's not designed for everyone but it's designed for me specifically and I'm mad it doesn't (and will likely never) exist

a sketch design for a smartphone
Has: De-googled OS, 60hrzm 64gb storage, 5 inch display, 1080p, OLED screen, plastic body, bluetooth, widgets, rubber corners, two programmable buttons, single hinge camera that flips up for selfies, removable battery, headphone jack, USBC charging, loop in corner for charms, SD memory slot, and clear plastic back so you can put in your own design or something idk

Does not have: AI, face recognition, turn-on on lift, mandatory updates

I wouldn't say I'm massively into phones or anything but I sketched this out of frustration bc why are there no modern phones with these features, it would be so perfect and I'm mad the only ones are old and slow

a sketch of a smartphone with tactile buttons for home/window/back, headphone jack, no AI BS, sim card thingy you can open with your nail, camera that doesn't cover the damn screen, and a 5 inch/127mm screen which is a reasonable size

Trust me, I know it can feel good to gather everyone around the stupidity to collectively point and go "look how dumb these people are", but that only keeps them relevant. Note their behavior, block/blacklist them and inform others you trust, then let them fade into irrelevance.

Today's practice is the first non-art reference, so it was a bit tougher to do. This is Vaylon, my STO character who has a whole 201 page document dedicated to his story, but today he exists with my drawing hand, not my writing one!

An image of a star trek online captain: Vaylon. He has short dark hair hiding a green, circular tattoo. He is wearing a variation on the star fleet uniform with red shoulders, green body and golden pauldrons of rank.
Vaylon is a Romulan with pale skin, pointed ears and very green eyes.

Cartoonists want to be like realists. Realists want to be like abstractists. Abstractists want to be like anatomists. Anatomists want to be like cartoonists. Just because you like someone else's art style, doesn't mean yours is bad. Your work is just as valid as the one you want to be like!

Two more practices today (thank you snow days) this time another Brahm and a friend's request to draw this Trinity character from Blazeblue.

Trinity from Blazeblue. Image is a young anime girl with thick pink and blonde hair, glasses, a white robe with hood and a brown undersuit. She is holding her hands close to her chest to show both nervousness and enthusiasm.

Brahm from Spell for a Smith, but this time an image of his past. He has thick, rolling curly brown hair and an over-braided beard, both adorned with jewels. He is grinning with a cocky attitude while wearing his old armour.

I haven't done much art in the past year and I've been craving to do some. Problem is, I'm very much out of practice so I hate everything I do. Therefore, here is my practice: drawing Ivy and Brahm from Artsasquatch's amazing series: Spell for a Smith

A drawing of Brahm and Ivy holding each other close from the series Spell for a Smith.
Ivy is in green with long, curly black hair and golden eyes, with an X scar across her face.
Brahm is a dwarf with dirty orange hair, a braided beard with a simple blue shirt. Both characters are smiling warmly at one another.

An image of Brahm from Spell for a Smith. He is holding a wooden log that had been dropped by ivy and is dusting it off.
He has dirty, orange hair and a braided beard, but he looks tired and dishevelled as he is injured. He is casting his eyes downward out of guilt, as Ivy rescued him and went out into the snow for more firewood while he was unconscious. He is wearing a plain, green shirt.

Welcome back artists! Quote post with an old piece that you still like! I can't remember his name, but this was a villain from an old dnd campaign I ran.

Image shows a middle aged, skinny man standing in the rain while looking sadly at a small toy that is visibly charred. He also holds his magic staff which glows with magic energy.

It's kinda like if you were born intuitively feeling like the A button should be on the right, X should be up, B down, etc. but life hands you an Xbox controller and everyone gets super weird the moment you ask about button remapping.
