I know this is going to make me sound pretensions but I have to get it off my chest. I feel an unimaginable rage when someone posts a photo and is like "this picture looks like a renaissance painting lol" when the photo clearly has the lighting, colors and composition of a baroque or romantic painting. There are differences in these styles and those differences are important and labeling every "classical" looking painting as renaissance is annoying and upsetting to me. And anytime I come across one of those posts I have to put down my phone and go take a walk because they make me so mad

In case you're curious here's what I mean.

Renaissance(distinct lines, stability and the individual man):

Baroque (bold, chaotic, dramatic):

Romantic(romanticize the simple hard working life):

Do you see the difference?

this post has re-wired my brain in the best way

I must say, I'm a sucker for your smoky fire doggos. Janan and Maalik have to be my favorites out of your ocs and I dearly miss them and their dynamic, it intrigues me so much :eyes:

I just wanted to drop by and say that :3

awe, it means a lot ;; I miss them too - the campaign they are in has sorta stopped happening for a while now, so I tend to not draw them as much anymore as a result, but in earnest, I might just do well turning them into non-dnd oc's at this point, would still love keeping em around :'0

Just finished a big workload, posting my cat as a reward to myself

She's 8 years old, I've had her for all 8 of them, baby has been with me since I was 14,, and still looks like a tiny baby who goes from spoiled dumbass to spoiled elegance within a few seconds

Stumbled onto your blog from your Jan 25th post. Curious if you have any full art of Nuromai’s tattoos (markings?). They look really cool!

I'm gonna be so real with you, I've been changing them almost everytime I draw them because I can't make up my mind Sometimes I forget about them altogether, although they could've greatly improved on an artpiece or sketch, whoops He's a visually inconsistent guy with an identity crisis, his tattoos changing sorta makes enough sense for em-- anytime anyone else draws him I pretty much give them the go-ahead to do whatever they want, long as it toys with a similar enough concept

Ohh your OC Nuromai looks really interesting, can you tell us smth about them? I love your design!

Huff I'm terribly flattered, let me think! Besides them being a DnD character, and the more forward stuff uhhh uhh what can I share-- I could share some lore?? He's one of many direct divine descendants of one entity, him and his siblings are each said to be one of her shedded feathers gaining sentience. All his folk, and there are thousands, besides his mother, are socially/linguistically considered his siblings, but they can pretty much look like anything/anyone, and he's not particularly close to any of them, besides maybe 2-3. He met his own "mother" maybe like... 1-2 times in his entire life, so he's a bit mentally detached from the "human" concept of family. Most of his misconceptions around the terms "family", "siblings" and "parents" came through mistranslations of his language, given his want to share in human culture, he often attempts to relate experiences that are difficult to compare, and it's been causing him some grief, to be sure.

(I don't have a lot of art of his mother, given she's.. died before the campaign started, but here u go, have some concepts. I think I could never quite settle on a certain visual for her, given I don't think Nuromai remembers her very well at all, so trying to match his perception of her, I kept her visuals quite hazy/uncertain. Visual trait: Tall???) (Bonus fact: He's recently been asked to seek out her undying/undead remains to end her, oops.)
