AI companies getting female celebrities to endorse AI as a thing ladies don't want to "miss out on" is basically the same playbook as 20th century tobacco companies framing smoking as a feminist act.

Note that stocking does take a little time because I need to make listings, take proper product photos etc. If you're desperate to get them as soon as they're up, follow @pendragonshoard.bsky.social
Chibi style Clair Obscur Expedition 33 stickers of the playable party members.
All right! Fresh off the printer, laminator and cricut (yes, our stickers are home made!), I think these are ready to stock!
It's usually yaoi fans who co-opt terms like "heteronormative" to hide their misogyny that makes them disinterested in seeing any depictions of women. π©
Oh my god, the Lara Croft kill count. I'd actually forgotten all about that! π€£
I mean, honestly, any time Kanaya isn't in a scene, the other characters should all be saying, "Whereβs Kanaya?"
Hahaha, sorry, blame Hussie for not putting Kanaya into every scene π
I don't think I'm in this episode...
Admittedly, it's usually not hearing my voice irl that does it. I speak in a pretty different register in any kind of noisy environment, so sadly I rarely sound that cool π
Honestly it always tickles me when somebody knows me as like... an illustrator or a mini painter and then they hear my voice or otherwise find out that I've been Kanaya in Let's Read Homestuck for like over fifteen years and they're like "WHAT."
Yeah, Let's Read Homestuck is still a thing π
If you're in the UK we'll have them available soon on me and my partner's shop @pendragonshoard.bsky.social ! Elsewhere, depending on where you are, we might be able to work something out!
I mean, throw in existentialism and being aggressively French and that's basically the game. π
Clair Obscur Expedition 33 chibi sticker designs of Lune, Maelle and Gustav.
We continue! New stickers progressing nicely!
Oh and yeah, I have an idea for Verso. A hilarious, terrible idea for Verso. π€
Coming up with how to showcase what characteristics I thought were really standout or interesting about a character, working out how to simplify their designs, and then building out the sketch, it's all really good fun.
Sketches for Clair Obscur Expedition 33 stickers. Lune holds an item and says, "an advantage...", Gustav is throwing a rock gleefully, Maele leaps with her blade, shouting "parry it!" And Sciele is on the floor, smiling through the pain, under sparking "nihilism".
My favourite part of my job is when, after all the admin and packing orders and manufacturing items and stocking is done, I get to just sit at my desk and draw fun sticker designs based on things I like. Expedition 33 was an obvious one now I've completed it π
Yeah, I have occasionally had a look at her Footsore stuff. Could be a fun thing to get for D&D. Bet retro vibes, like something out of Labyrinth.
Oh yeah, the GW sculptors did an incredible job on the LotR game (now called Middle Earth Strategy Battle. Apparently it's really big in Germany and fun to play!). Some lovely minis in that range.
This one is a modern mini, so it's made from plastic and was sculpted digitally, giving it a very crisp and elegant feel and it's really easy to build. Maybe some day I'll be tempted to get one of those weird old Trish dragons though... they're so cool! π
When I got into Warhammer, I was about eleven, and back then, dragons were made from an incredibly heavy lead alloy, so they were expensive and required drilling and pinning. I would still stare longingly at the pictures of the beautiful dragons hand sculpted by Trish Carden.
A Stormcast Knight Draconis mini from Warhammer Age of Sigmar. The dragon is painted red and black, the Stormcast rider wears gold and black armour.
Fulfilling a childhood dream today of owning a Warhammer dragon!
We had a really good time at TAGS last year. The people were super-friendly, and there were so many high quality indie comics and TTRPGs. Sales very solid for size of event too. I'd recommend it!
I'll be painting them as Blood Axes, like my Kommandos kill team I really ought to finish. I've liked Blood Axes ever since 2nd ed, because Orks trying to do legit camouflage and tactics with humorous misunderstandings is very funny and charming to me.
Although... yeah, we all know it's practically a meme that Orks are the Warhammer 40k army that nobody dislikes. They're just FUN in a way a sci-fi setting that took itself a little more seriously couldn't do.
The new Ork mini reveal from Warhammer Community.
So... most big launch boxes, I buy for just the Space Marines ir Stormcast but... looks like 11th edition is going to be an exception. This Ork mini is just... mwah! Chef's kiss! Not too cluttered, lovely composition, and a tiny squig as the cherry on top!
You were clearly holding that entire game together omg.
Oh my god, I can't even log in now. I haven't seen a hearthstone release be this much of a mess in years π€£
Hearthstone decks that are now wild: Drag King, Aura Farming, Time Heist, Double Dragon, Dorm Party, Krondys!, Asteroid Rage, Power Bottom, Big Mood
Murloc She Wrote, Shake, Rattle n' Roll, Two by Two, Diverse Hiring, Pet Cemetery, Hot Stuff, Dracula, Gifted Child, Wisp Whisperer
Dragon Wagon, Im Bue Dabadee, Drag King
It's already that time of year again!? Honestly, I didn't think this was a super fun year for Hearthstone, but I did get some pretty good (bad) pun deck names out of it. Let's go, year of the Scarab! Cataclysm!
