I either drop or knock my drawing stylus off my desk at least once a day. At this point I should just attach a little chain to it like they do at the bank.

As proof that I am still an artist despite the long stretches between #art posts, here is a sketch of my #Starfinder2e character. More details when I post a finished version.
A humanoid character clad in a black, gray, and purple combat suit. There is a hood over their head and they're wearing a full face mask with built in goggles. There is a generic sci-fi pistol in their right hand that is clearly drawn without reference.

Using the custom mixed heritage rules in #pathfinder2e (and with a generous GM) you could probably combine the awakened animal and poppet ancestries, styling it as a small mech body piloted by a tiny, permanently attached animal. But in a cute way, not a body horror way. Unless...

A toxic artist trait I have is that I keep looking for the perfect digital brush that will fix my art even though I know there's no such thing.

Years ago I released the Forever GM design and I was happy with it, but lately I've wanted to tinker with the design and move from the 8-bit look to an illustrated piece. So.... I DID. The new and improved Forever GM design is live! #dnd #ttrpg #daggerheart d20monkey.dashery.com/products/374...

I saw Masters of the Universe today and loved every minute of it. The cartoon and the toys were my everything as a kid and this movie felt made for me. See it if you can, it deserves a sequel. Oh, and after the movie I had ramen, real ramen, for the first time. Mind blowing. This was a good day.

People like Kane and many many others that do care about human art and the creative process have been a beacon of hope while trying to navigate making art in this current climate.
CBS MORNINGS ON YOUTUBE (JUNE 4, 2026)

Interviewer: I read that you do not want to embrace Al.

Kane: Absolutely not.

For me the whole point of doing what I'm doing-art is a way of processing life. I don't see the value in outsourcing any element of that.

When I'm looking at someone else's project, if I see an element of the environment [where] they use generative fill or whatever to change something about the scene, it just shuts off the part of my brain that wants to know more about that world. Because I would assume if they're willing to make an arbitrary choice there, they could make an arbitrary choice with literally anything.

I think I know why I haven't been drawing for myself. It's not the general suckage of *gestures at everything* like I thought. Turns out, when I'm feeling creative I make a Pathfinder2e character in an app or create a new costume in Champions Online. I'm still being creative, but in a different way.

My screenshots folder on my PC is full of interesting stuff I wanted to share to one Discord group or another but didn't post because the timing meant I'd be interrupting a conversation or not letting the previous image post "breathe." And now I have no idea where or why I was going to share them.

Fellow artists, how do you organize your digital art files? Do you save unrelated sketches as one per layer in a file labeled "sketches" or do you save them each individually? If individually, do you name them by subject or "Sketch001, Sketch002" etc? What's your method? What keeps you organized?

It took six months but I finally decided to change my Twitch name. I think I was holding on to the old name purely for nostalgic reasons. And since I'm only active in like 3 streamer communities it should be a fairly smooth changeover.

Saddened to hear my high school art teacher passed away. Her encouragement & guidance were why I considered pursuing art as a career in the first place. She convinced me to apply to art school & my experiences there helped shape my life for the last 30 years. Thank you, Mrs. B. I owe it all to you.

Oh wow. I've been using the Pathbuilder app for my #Pathfinder2e characters for nearly 6 years & I only now realized I could create a separate container for consumables, making them SO much more visible & more likely to be used. I definitely crit failed that Recall Knowledge check. Several times.

He-Man and the Masters of the Universe was my everything as a kid so watching that teaser trailer for the new movie this week transported me right back to my childhood. I woke up this morning from a dream about Eternia and I have the cartoon's theme music playing in my head. I am so ready.

What's your #TTRPG resolution for 2026? Too often I find myself watching combat unfold, only to realize it's suddenly my turn and I haven't thought about what I should do next, which causes a delay. So for me, I'd like to get better at planning my next turn to keep things moving. How about you?

Luckily, I've gotten much better at this lately!
A three panel comic titled "Portion control". A person is looking at art online. At first they are motivated "That's some interesting art... Maybe I should try that too?" They keep looking at more art and feel motivated: "Wow!! These artists are so good! I can't wait to go practise so I can catch up!". As they look at even more art, they get overwhelmed: "They're so many... Why am I even trying...?"

At last, the final Cursed Relics, Week 4. Might be my favorite, likely because I was able to spend more time on it than the others. I had so much fun with these and I'm looking forward to next year. Week Four's prompts: • Solar Elixir • Starry Cloak • Demon's Urn #cursedrelics2025 #art
A strong woman with fair skin and short, combed back dark hair is wearing a white one piece swimsuit. Armor of overlapping metal plates covers her right arm, torso, and hips with matching metal greaves on her white boots. She also wears a cloak with a starfield pattern and her right arm cradles a red urn that is sculpted to look like a scowling demon's face. Her right had is holding a glowing potion vial from which she is drinking.

Cursed Relics Week 3. I was sick for a while so this is the abridged version of what could have been but I'm still happy with it. Week Three's prompts: • Nightroot Fruit • Abyss Crown • Eclipse Orb #cursedrelics2025 #art
A chimpanzee sits in the dark. It is wearing a pronged circlet that has created a dark hole in its head. It is staring at a glowing orb held in its left hand and is chewing a bite from the oblong, root-covered fruit in its right hand. A dark liquid is dripping from the fruit and the chimp's mouth.

After a trip out of town for a few days delaying me, I've finally finished my second week of Cursed Relics. I had a blast working on this one. Week Two's prompts: • Dragon Crest • Stormclay Ocarina • Portal Key #cursedrelics2025 #art
An orange haired cat person wearing dark red leather armor and a bright red cowl with a fin on top. They're holding in their right hand an ocarina shaped like a cloud and thunderbolt. In their outstretched left hand they hold an oversized, spiral shaped key. Electricity is coming out of the ocarina and is flowing into the key, which is glowing with a blue light. On the right side of the image is a blue glowing portal opening with a clawed hand and four tentacles reaching out of it. The cat person is quite shocked to see it. There is a caption panel in the upper left that reads, "It's simple." explained the old wizard. "The Stormclay Ocarina generates electricity. The Dragon Crest (yes you have to wear it) protects you from the lethal charge. The energy flows into the Portal Key which gives it enough power to open the back wall of the vault. The best part? It's completely unguarded inside! You'll be fine alone."

It's time once again for Cursed Relics, a no stress October art project created by @albabbgg.bsky.social . There's three prompts a week for four weeks and you can draw them separately or together. Week One's prompts: • Shadowfang Blade • Lunar Scars • Moonlight Scythe #cursedrelics2025 #art
A large purple ogre-like man with curved horns and a glowing crescent shaped scar on his chest holds a staff topped with a glowing crescent moon blade. In front of this ogre, facing him with her back to the viewer, is a smaller woman in blue and gold futuristic armor decorated with star shapes. She is holding a matching shield in her left hand and a sharp, curved, purple sword in her right hand.

Oh hey, I'm doing Cursed Relics again this year. Just wanted to post that for accountability. The first drawing is in progress will be all three of week one's prompts combined like I did last year. Not sure if future weeks will be combined or not. I definitely did *not* plan ahead.

Did I ever tell you about my superpower of serendipity? Small lucky things happen often but bigger luck usually comes with a cost. For example, I was recently at a tightly packed gathering with lots of people but I didn't get sick afterwords. The price arrived today as a broken lawn mower belt.

Nothing hurts quite like finding the perfect name for your new character then discovering the same name is used in a popular video game so now you have to find something different to avoid the comparisons.

You know how you can click an image in a post here and it embiggins it? It would be very nice if you could click it a second time to pop it out to full size. I know I can open the image in a new tab to do that but I follow so many artists I'd be spending half my day opening and closing new tabs.

This is a bit of a cheat as far as posting new art goes since I started it over a year ago. It was a replacement PC for a #Pathfinder2e game that had a TPK & ultimately ended up abandoned. It became a go-to test piece for rendering & brush experiments for several months but I'm calling it done. #art

I sat down to draw immediately after posting this but instead cleaned my desk, made & ate dinner, spent 20 minutes deciding what podcast to listen to, then ran dailies in a video game, which is, sadly, pretty standard operating procedure in case you were wondering why my art posts are months apart.

I recently realized I haven't made new personal art in nearly 8 months. I keep telling myself I'm better off with quality over quantity but it turns out the lack of quantity has led to a sharp dip in quality. So I'm going to create and share more art, even if it's just for me, even if it's junk.
