Came up while talking with my brother that my SIL (not from the US) has no cultural context/background/history to even start to understand the MCU, so @paulaxel.bsky.social and I just spent 90 minutes making a list of everything in and referenced by the MCU sorted watch/optional/skip.

Wife: We only put safety devices over our eyes. Thea: Cucumber slices aren't safety devices. Me: You are technically correct - the best kind of correct! #bureaucrat

Man, this air quality is no joke. You definitely smell it outside, and I'm even feeling the effects (I usually don't). Be safe out there today, people.

We did it! Made our goal! There are 23 hours left, so if you want to nab yourself a copy, now's the time to do it!

Hi #portfolioday I do maps, apparently. #ttrpg #cartography

fantasy map illustration depicting a flat world floating in the void. it has a ruined city in the north, desolated plains in the northeast, a strange reality warping land in the northwest with a whilrpool of stars, broken lands just south of it, dangerous hills in the east, a stange juntle in the south surrounded by a vast mountain range. all this around a central chaotic area with war, warping terrain, a lake of acid, a cursed citadel, burning cities.

a fantasy map illustration titled "the divine empire of cirrhul" where a central lake surrounded by a circular mountain range sits in the middle of a land with hills, rivers and plains. another big mountain range to the north and a vast forest to the south. steppes to the northwest and a sea to the southeast. the border is decorated with statutes of the gods.

map or landscape illustration in a tarot card proportion, depicting a fragmented land with big stone slabs open up to a ravine below. It has a long stone stairway going down, a strange crystal palace, some trees and desert-like terrain, a giant anthill, a river cascading to the ravine and a pool on a floating islet, containing a giant, desperate eel that doesn't fit well in the pool.

fantasy map illustration of a devastated land crossed by roads. suburbs to the northwest, a quarry in the northeast, a forest being destroyed, industrial plant, a marsh, a trash dump terrain, mountains to the southwest, a farm at the bottom of the map.

Madeleine Fjäll ║ Team Tragedy ║@madeleinefjall.bsky.social · 3w ago

Hey #PortfolioDay! I'm Madeleine, an illustrator and concept artist from Sweden. I love to paint anything historical and fantasy with pretty light. Would love to make book covers!✨ 🌐 madeleinefjall.com ✉️ madeleinefjallart@gmail.com

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.

The two covers I made for my books "Far From Miklagardr" and "Far From Eikfell". In the first one two men are holding two fingers, hesitantely, in front of the northern lights. In the second one, they are now fully holding hands, back against each other, in front of the sea. Far away is a viking ship.
