Died (alas!) on this day in 1693, in Amsterdam, Willem Kalf. Extraordinary still life painter. Here from 1653, drinking horn & lobster. A+ diagonals there! Strangely energetic for painting of dead things.

Every point, including the favourable comparison of Baldur's gate 1 versus the 2.
Igor Levchenko@igorlevchenko.bsky.social · 3mo agoI wholeheartedly agree with every point she's made in her analysis of those games. I was planning to paint something Baldur's Gate 2 specific just so I had a pretext to post on the respective subreddit while giving them mods a vociferous rebuke for booting her out for speaking the truth!

gains@gains-skeets.bsky.social · 4mo agofell down a rabbit hole, apparently the most thorough guides for Baldur's Gate 1&2 are written by a woman who has been thoroughly blogging all her video game opinions since the 1980s. she gave Baldur's Gate 3 a 2.1/10 rating and scathingly calls it a reddit RPG lilura1.blogspot.com/2024/01/Redd...
Self-portrait in exotic costume, 1665: Frans van Mieris in a rather Rembrandt moment. Today has been his day.
In PTR there's this idea of full Chinese zodiac animals for Akaviri races. Filling in the rest of the minor races. This family portrait noticeably lacking a huge Red Dragon though. I'll have to add one to the long list of things to draw✌️. #elderscrolls #morrowind #akavir #projecttamriel
Nude study for the Disputa by Raphael. Just love that he had to think through all the figures nude even though he would paint them clothed. A true renaissance mind! Today is his day.
Portrait of Goris the Maggot King Location: Grazelands. V**** Tomb. Disclosing the exact location would be scandalous, as it would implicate a noble family of pre-eminent status in neglecting their ancestral tomb to the point of undead infestation. #morrowind #baroque #elderscrolls #redoran

More weapons for Kromlech - this time for the bronze age Barrow Folk. (who tend to rise from their unquiet burial mounds lately) Again, lots of real world stuff in there.
Reminds me of all the paintings of Circe (i.e. the sorceress) of the period. Those are useful like no other as references for painting fantasy clothing, I've learned from experience.

Amazing scene: construction of a palace, 1515, painted in tempera with gold. By Piero di Cosimo, born on this day in 1462.
Just got the finished art commission of my Morrowind character: Kinlaur. Made by @igorlevchenko.bsky.social I am very happy with it! If any of you are Elder Scrolls, Morrowind, or good art fans, his work is always a treat. And to have a version of my Nerevarine depicted outside the game is awesome.
What do you know, I have a very old painting of her being cured of blight by a Tribunal Temple associate. There's a quest about it in the game.

Tarquin and Lucretia: the blood that he threatens to spill is displaced as red paint over his white clothing, while she remains pure. Late great painting by the great Titian, whose day was today.
Cheetah being encouraged by two Indians to attack a stag in quite confusing-implausible hunting scene by George Stubbs, born on this day in 1724.
Menta Na, lieutenant of Molag Bal embarrassed his master by taking a prolonged leave of absence to Mundus - to Vvardenfell of all places - to do not some destruction on the mortals but to lazy about in the cavernous ruins of Kora Dur. Eventually Bal employed a mortal champion to hunt Menta Na down.

Some wine, some tobacco, and somebody's already asleep. Evening gathering in 1643 by the Le Nain brothers, whose day has been today.
