Portfolio shots coming along Most of this is just editing out sneaky pet fur.
Last night's captures. Soul Nebula and the Milky Way.
Dang. This art is 10 years old, marking the first D&D campaign I ever ran. This was part of the first story I wrote for my players involving a corrupted Dryad. I still kinda dig the art.
When working on portfolio shots, 90% of your time is spent editing out pet fur. (Psst Phantom Ink is now out, just in time for spooky season)
New game! When I suggested an iridescent foil I never expected it to look this good. @allplay.bsky.social

Finished my shower this morning only to find a giant, living cicada clinging to my towel. Must have come in from the line. Poor thing waited 18 years to come above ground only to get laundered.
Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAI is. GenAI is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart. But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.
Been wanting to capture Andromeda for a while. It's crazy how big she is compared to the other galaxies I've shot — she takes up the entire frame 2.5hr exposure, 300+ stacked images
