A stand off between four adventurers, or heroes, holdings hands in front of three floating, evil, biblically accurate angels amidst an icy and snowy environment.

The final showdown

Not me forgetting to post these two weirdos I designed for Monster Train 2: Destiny of the Railforged.

A picture of two newly grafted apple trees in pots. The one on the right is hard to see because it’s lining up perfectly with the brown shelves behind it.

Pray for the health and growth of our two newly grafted apple trees here in the darkest apartment ever.

My bard WoL stickers and I shall be searching for you!

Update #2: Quicksilver, a detector for AI-generated music.

Most folks today are not aware that AI-generated music (entire songs generated by AI models) are growing rapidly. Today, there are more AI-generated songs than human-created songs arriving each week on platforms like Spotify.

ETCH

Happy Monday.
Today we're making a few updates/announcements.

First up: our nonprofit ETCH is alive on the web.
etch-humanity.org
ETCH: Ethical Technology and Computing for Humanity.

ETCH is not another AI nonprofit. It is a nonprofit that explicitly prioritizes people over AI.

Update #3:

We have fixed the "TRUE" bug on Nightshade that's been tormenting us for quite some time. The fix also comes with updated drivers for new NVidia chips.

The Windows version is ready and available:
nightshade.cs.uchicago.edu/downloads.html

The MacOS version still needs a bit of time.

Our D&D party riding a toboggan made out of animal-shaped pool floaties with a simple mast at the front, Akira-style sliding across the ice. The animal pool floaties from left to right are: Crab, bird, otter, and crab. A purple tiefling with dreads sits at the front, holding onto the mast with one hand and flipping off the viewer with the other while smirking. A halfling with antlers is lounging carefree in the bird floaty. A aasimar paladin in armor is steering from the otter floatie. And a half-elf druid with dark blue hair is conjuring winds into the mast from the last crab floaty.

The party rolls up on the BBEG looking like this, wwyd?

A character design sheet of an anthropomorphic rabbit blacksmith. There's various sketch iterations on the left and a key art of the finished character on the right. He has long ears, one of which is a solar powered prosthetic. He wears dark brown overalls with intricate patters on it and yellow-ish leather chaps. In his left hand is a hammer and in his right hand, slung over his shoulder, is a giant pair of metal tongs.

A design sheet of the card "Mass Production" in Monster Train 2. The card shows three mechanical stewards carrying boxes of weapons into an armory room filled to the brim with even more weapons. On the right half of the document are thumbnail designs, 3D mockups, and different color compositions.

A group of adventurers descend down an ominous well inside a tavern. Green light glows from below while warm light and jubilant tavern goers on-look the adventurers.

A design sheet of the card "Boilerplate" in Monster Train 2. The card shows an armor chest piece made of pipes and furnace-like elements on a fiery background. On the right half of the document are thumbnail designs and different color compositions.

The most bad-ass rebuttal from Tite Kubo, the author of Bleach.

A picture of two holographic stickers. Both have an art nouveau style. The left one says “Alyssum” and has a drawing of a female roegadyn bard with long silvery hair. The right one says “Arran” and has a drawing of a male elezen red mage with braided red hair and a sword.

THEY MADE IT. I only have 100 of each, but @j2phoenix.bsky.social and I look forward to trading with as many of you as possible!

(Thank you @stickerninja.bsky.social !)

An art nouveau style illustration of the tarot card "Chariot" featuring a lizardfolk woman in a green dress riding a magic broom.

An art nouveau style illustration of the tarot card "Hierophant" featuring a a human man with a flamboyant hat rising up a pistol and a wrench while explosions go off behind him.

An art nouveau style illustration of the tarot card "Magician" featuring a warforged in a wizard cap rising up a wand and conjuring a magical owl.

An art nouveau style illustration of the tarot card "Wheel of Fortune" featuring a man with long, white hair tied to a spinning, circular board with daggers stuck to it.

Some recent(ish) tarot commissions I did for a friend's dnd group. Art nouveau has been very inspiring for me lately. The Chariot and The Hierophant were definitely my favorites!

This would go against the entire spirit of the sticker trade. 😔 Please don't do it.

Louder for the people in the back.

Artists, please don't undersell your work, especially when working with big clients.
It not only devalues your own work, but it sets a precedent that will affect the other artists that the client will hire after you.
If you're unsure, please speak with your colleagues, mutuals or do some research. 🙏

"Why don't Americans-" The ruling class of America has intentionally disempowered its citizens spread across 3,000+ miles of land and then funded the police force as an occupying army that happily murders anyone who opposes them and imprisons whoever is left as slave laborers. So phone calls it is

I'm dreading how packed this place is gonna be, cause boy howdy do I want MANY things from this menu.
