It's official artwork commissioned by D&D, so it's not wrong

Ironically I've been busy today because I'm playing D&D with a bunch of gays, you can't make this up

Overwhelmed by all the responses, ty and sorry if I can't reply to everyone!

To be clear, this was a knee jerk reaction - I'm not sure yet what can be done bc it's official D&D artwork, maybe it falls under "fair use"?? (As lame as that headline might be)

Idk. Rest assured I'll look into it tho

I was commissioned by WotC to do it for D&D Pride, so it's official artwork

Just for Pride merch (playmats, t-shirts) and they donated the proceeds to the trevor project :)

Tbqh its largely passed me by 🤞 I'm never on twitter, I only realised it was happening from a rogue tag. Other than an email saying I was going to hell (lol) + an uncomfortable situation where someone posted a photo of me to try to decide if I'm cis (?), haven't had much directed at me

Article image description reads "D&D artwork released for Pride month, depicting an elf and a demon in a romantic embrace" (it's half-elf and a tiefling. Romantic is right though)

"An elf and a demon" is so funny. I guess we're just letting whoever write whatever... Mr. Power, your story is yours to tell 💛

I might keep doing those but then compile into a thread? I think that might work

Some favourite sketches from a life drawing session with the lovely @davidieuan.bsky.social, from before I left London. Should I start a thread with all my life drawing, or do people prefer separate posts? What's the consensus here?

Haliya, Guided by Light, illustrated by Eleonor Piteira for the Magic: The Gathering set 'Edge of Eternities'. A young black woman dressed in light armour with an orange cape and holding a sci-fi-looking axe, stands triumphantly on top of a pile of dead enemies in dark bulky armours. Behind her there's a flat orange planet against a light purple background with stars, while the silhouette of a ship flies by.
