there are going to be many remembrances of Tim Curry today for his brilliant work in Rocky Horror and Clue and so much more, but to me this ridiculous bit from Red Alert sums up everything that made him great you never knew what you were going to get with him, but whatever it was would be brilliant

my wife has a friend who sent Dolly Parton a painting she made & a letter explaining how much Dolly's music meant to her while she was transitioning. Dolly responded to it personally & paid for her top surgery. Sounds like an urban legend but it's real. I think we're going to more stories like this.

Imagine being talented and beautiful and rich and famous and still the most noteworthy thing about you is how good a person you are.

It's my birthday today!!! So here's my art! 🎉✨

Illustration made during Paul Scott Canavan's mentorship. It features a man wearing black and red, with a bird's mask and swords on his hips. His hand is stretched up as a large hawk-like bird is going to land on his glove. Behind him, he has a grey horse with its ears drawn back. Both the bird and the horse's eyes are glowing. They are all in the middle of a dark, foggy nordic forest with aurora in the dark sky.

La belle dame sans merci by Frank Bernard Dicksee version of Hans and Henry from Kingdom Come Deliverance

Two illustrations. To the left is a vampire in anguish, blood dripping down his mouth, hands over his face and over his heart, as two long-fingered hands with claws are coming from above, trying to get to him.

The second image is Lucia in the dark, holding a candle, wearing a more victorian inspired outfit. There's a sliver of a glowing circle behind her. Her eyes are glowing.

Two Illustrations. To the left is an illustration of Alistair Theirin, wearing a grey warden uniform but standing, kinda sadly, in front of a wall holding a crown over his head.

To the right is an illustration of Kim Kitsuragi from Disco Elysium leaning against a wall-like thing, holding a cigarette, blowing out smoke that swirls around the image. there's a small strip of light glowing on his face and glasses.

Stole this from the comments because this shit shouldn't be behind a paywall.

Crucially, the GLOVE has limitations, chief among them that for the device to work effectively and deliver its restraining pain shock, it must come into contact with the subject's bare skin. According to Compliant Technologies, the gloves won't work through dry clothing or thick hair. The gloves will work, however, if the subject is wearing thin, wet clothing, such as soaked T-shirts or blouses. The GLOVE also does not like being dunked in water and will likely be rendered inoperable if this happens.

POWER TRIP: ICE’s new electric shock gloves are designed to overpower subjects through intense pain. But it turns out there is a simple way to stop them working. Read the full story on @wired.com www.wired.com/story/the-pa...

Proud to finally share my illustration done for @paulscottcanavan.com's "Mastering Imaginative Realism" mentorship course! (he said we should take a couple of weeks off before finishing the piece so I rightfully took 3 months, I blame him for the delay)

Illustration of a giant 4 armed humanoid bird creature and a white haired man standing on one of its outstretched hands. the man is holding a chain of golden light connecting to a ring on the creature's chest. they look off to the side and moving as if to going to attack something. in the background, in the middle of some foggy hills a column of bright crackling energy shoots up into the cloudy sky. bird made of the same bright energy fly across the sky.

Done some touch up on this work I've done earlier this year for @paulscottcanavan.com mentorship so time for a repost ! (And go check out Paul's mentorship, there still some place left for next semester I think and its really a great way to push yourself to another level!) #art

An illustration showing an old dwarf woman riding a dinosaur. She wear brown and green clothes and his looking towards the horizon, hiding her eyes from the sun with one hand.
The dinosaur has green and yellow feathers and wait for something. Around them there are many other dinosaur, mostly
ankylosaures, and their dwarf riders. In the background, a pine forest and mountain ranges. The scene seems to take place at early morning and the ground is wet and covered with pools.

I was annoyed by the lack of good 3D bird wings I could use for art references, so I created my own! You can download the file on my Ko-Fi if you wish to use them as well: ko-fi.com/s/36a32ad670 I even made a video showcase! Enjoy my accent haha: youtu.be/zhQB6ITUJ9k #art #blender #3d

I play my attack card on @cynotherium.bsky.social and their character Cyno! #art #artfight #artfight2026 #jragonart #anthro #sensoryart

An anthro doglike creature wearing a sort of tunic and leggings sits in an alcove of nature while coptic binding a book. The colors are warm with pinks and greens in the background, and the character has a brown fur coat.

Level 9 portrait for my Curse of Strahd / She is the Ancient witch boy, Victoro di Terzo. With his messed up eye that got (as in: he did it himself >.>) poked out by his raven and replaced by a weird eye with three irises. All previous portraits done for respective level ups in the comment below.

Level 9.

A digital grayscale portrait of a thin pale man with a bread and gray hair. A raven that's next to him holds its beak open, and it's framing his left eye that has weird, messed up irises. The man has horns looking like a crown, and behind his are hints of more raven wings visible in the darkness.
