These may be my greatest (costume-related) creation. Boots for my daughter's Bakugo cosplay.

A pair of knee-high black boots with chunky orange soles and two rows of orange eyelets going up the front. The top has a slight flare for attitude.

Discworld QOTD, from Small Gods

His philosophy was a mixture of three famous schools -- the Cynics, the Stoics and the Epicureans -- and summed up all three of them in his famous phrase, 'You can't trust any bugger further than you can throw him, and there's nothing you can do about it, so let's have a drink.

I finally got an opportunity to fix up the lighting for this art piece I collaborated on. Proper tools and materials make a big difference!

Mounted in the corner of a room, above a Marshall amp, a rack of guitars, and an extensive collection of records, a massive multicoloured disco ball painted on a disc of plywood is jauntily angled. Around the back rim, rows of LED lights broadcast patterns of rainbows. Painted across the wall leading away from the disco ball is a ray of rainbow colours, spreading out to the far wall.

When you leave Shape Invaders set up at a party, people make art between matches!

UV-reactive playing pieces arranged in a pattern. Two moon shapes are stacked in the middle and then two other moon shapes fan outward like shoulders. Three alien heads on each side form downward arcs. Atop the "shoulders" a planet/UFO shape forms something like a head.

Several different colours of UV-reactive shapes, yellow, green, orange, and pink form something like a vase with flowers, or a strange pineapple.

Working up some card frames...

Two watercolour and ink card layouts. The left has a dark brown border with three divisions going up the card. The outer sides of each division has a motley mix of yellow, red, green, and blue splotches. The center of each is empty. The right has a black rectangular border, with some curved triangles of yellow, blue, red, and green coming inward from the sides, interlaced with wispy grey blobs. The center is lightly browned, like a parchment surface.

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖

A pride flag with every color band represented by a NASA image. White is Earth clouds, pink is aurora, blue is the Sun in a specific wavelength, brown is Jupiter clouds, black is the Hubble deep field, red is the top of sprites, orange is a Mars crater, yellow is the surface of Io, green is a lake with algae, blue is Neptune, and purple is the Crab Nebula in a specific wavelength.

Made a cool thing. 100% tactile, physical, real, human art. Kiddo art directed it. Such a joy to make things, and beyond pleased at how it turned out.

A spade symbol created out of elements of nature. Its base resembles a tree with ferns mushrooms and small plants. Vines creep up the trunk before expanding into the two lobes of the Spade. On the right side, there are spines along the lower edge and a swirl of vines that culminates in a red and orange flower burst on the left hand side are larger leaves with blue teal and pink flowers. A swirling Vine with leaves forms that lobe and up through the center is a spine of leaves, culminating in a lotus type flower with a dark green spined base and pinkish white petals swirling up into a crowning bud.

A rough sketch of the Spade symbol where you can see the outlines of the vines, spines, lotus style flower, major leaves, and the trunk of the tree.

A detail shot of the lotus at the top. The ink wash is dark on the underside mottled green across the bottom of the flower. The petals themselves have an outer lining of deep purple with a lightish pink blossom shape.

A detail of the bottom of the Spade showing the mushrooms clustered around the base of the tree. The ferns and the start of the vines creeping their way up the trunk.

It has arrived! @dresdencodak.com 's incredible Dark Science! Wahoo!

A large book lies flat on a table. It has a fine black cloth band along the spine and a glossy dark grey cover. The words "Dark Science" are centered at the top in a silvery font that evokes art deco signage. Beneath that, in smaller text, is "Volume 1: The City of Giants". An illustration is centered below it: a figure with shoulder-length black hair, whipped back by the wind, is striding up along a grassy slope, looking upward and away from the viewer toward a large shell of a creature's face, smooth like porcelain with two circular spots as eyes that forms the foundation of an island that appear to be floating in the sky with a city visible on its brim. Below the illustration is the creator's name "Sen".
Perched on the left side of the book is an embroidered patch, circular, with teal text against a black background around the edge that reads "Department of Opposition". In the center of the patch in black against a lilac background is a wide brimmed hat atop the tips of two crossed daggers, with a skull below them. Across the center, split by the daggers, is "Est. 1928". In the black border along the bottom edge of the patch are the words "Lawful Evil".
Perched on the right side of the book is a magnet depicting a black and white cat with a screen for a head. The antennae are styled like cat ears.
Below the book is a print of a pair of figures sitting and leaning against each other, facing up toward the viewer, as a rainbow-hued aurora spans the sky and dozens of bright white shooting stars blaze downward at stark diagonals from upper left to lower right. One of the figures has shoulder-length poofy black hair with a shock of white, is wearing a blue jacket with their hands in their lap and is looking up in wonder. The other figure is taller, with poofy white hair swept to the side, a lilac and red sleeveless tunic, and has their eyes closed and their hands raised in front of their chest in a moment of blissful delight.

Sculpting some game tokens from paper mache clay and driveway gravel, casual-like.

Three greyish circular tokens are aligned next to a ruler. They're each about 40mm across (1.5 inches, give or take a few). The left has several small rocks in it. Eventually, it will look like the surface of lava. The middle one has a small bud with leaves rising above several smaller plant-like shapes: some vines and leaves, with another flower behind them. The third has an upraised ring of clay and small rocks around a central depression. It will eventually look like a tunnel entrance.

I've got this big pal finished! They're a half-size, pose-able Protoceratops! They have a plastic armature throughout their body allowing a range of poses, surrounded by polyester stuffing which means they're still squishy! For sale over on my website: www.palaeoplushies.com/shop/12-pose...

A realistic plush Protoceratops sits on a paving slab in a garden. They are made of detailled digitally painted fabric with details such as green plastic eyes and quills on the tail. Their colour scheme is warm browns and greens.

The realistic plush protoceratops stands on it's hind legs, front legs against a tree. It's head is reaching up as if to eat new buds from the tree- watch out, protoceratops, that's a laburnum! Don't eat that, it's toxic!
