I am overwhelmed—in the best way possible. This is a gift I would have never expected... never thought I could deserve: until I had read what you all had to say to me. Thank you. You are all the stars and constellations in my night sky. Thank you, for surrounding me with your light. I ugly cried.

Day 1 of learning Clip Studio Paint (thanks @kippkingdom.bsky.social for the gift!) Was supposed to be the warm-up sketch on stream but had too much fun—a drawing of how last night ended. I love this shark form.

An illustration of shark-Yao passed out, drunk, over a stone and mortar structure. This is in reference to a previously-posted night of sudden inebriation.

This has been quite an expensive end of the holiday season. But the places I've been and the people I've travelled with this past week are giving great energy to the coming year. Happy New Year, everyone. May year 2025 bring good fortune. Brush off the dust of 2024 and its problems. Time for more.

My gem dragonborn's true identity (oops, he's important) was recently exposed in our D&D game. It was a planned inevitability with the DM, so here's the CG I drew for it.

I've awoken from my post-travel entombment. Here's a sketch I did while on my flight inspired by one of my con fits. Mostly accurate. You just can't see the suffering in high-heeled combat boots. I think I scared friends by sprinting in them.
