Will be taking a bit of a step back on streaming for the foreseeable future and only stream on Saturdays instead of Monday, Thursdays and Saturdays. Lots to do and very little energy to go around. Got to make some choices here. I have tried to illustrate this with a lil' comic thing. #comic #art

One really funny thing about the whole #AI ... event ... is that it showed how much humans crave humanity not just in direct encounters but in the things we read, see, hear, use and value. The ruling parasite sociopaths cannot fathom this very simple concept. People matter. Billionaires do not.

Tonight just a bit of a very chill small short #art stream. Will likely try and draw some god from my homebrew Pantheon as I am somewhat out of ideas for #artfight - Wanna hang out? twitch.tv/imperorthefi... #twitch #krita #digitalart #linux #live

Fresh #artfight attack on the wonderful and extremely talented @zebrafeather.bsky.social and his character Norbert rather Big Blue. Brother is putting on a good defense, I think! #timelapse #krita #art #artfight2026 #digitalart #noai

More #artfight tonight with some fantasy-ish theme and attack drawing. Trying something new for shading: Overlay layers instead of multiply to not just have everything be a dark mess maybe? I think it might work. twitch.tv/imperorthefi... #linux #krita #artfight26 #live #twitch

So apparently Secretary of losing Wars Pete Hegseth is starting a new initiative on gender affirming care by screening for testosterone levels of service members? Ain't that sweet. thehill.com/policy/defen...

Currently revisiting Lord of the Rings as an audio book for the 100th time, but one of the most unrealistic things is that the elves as the elders of Middle Earth are not only understanding their time is up but try to leave the world in a better state for those that come after them. Pure fiction!

More #art time, working on a new concept for #artfight let's see what I can cook up! New plan: No more multiply for shadows (or very little) instead, working with darker shades of base colours. Will I get it right? twitch.tv/imperorthefi... #twitch #live #art #digitalart

My first #ArtFight2026 attack on @imperor.bsky.social's Isa Sweedlen (an incredible design I've been wanting to draw for some time now) #ArtFight

I have had one of my own #digitalart pieces printed on canvas to hang in my apartment. When I started this journey about 2 years ago I never thought I'd get to a place where I not only feel good about what I make but good enough for me to want to look at it about every day. #art

Streaming time! We're going after a wonderful friend of the channel @djred3.bsky.social tonight let's see how far we'll get along - outline and base colours is the goal! Come on by you lovely folk and give me tips! twitch.tv/imperorthefi... #artfight #artfight2026 #digitalart #krita #linux

I have been using #krita for a while now after migrating from #windows over a year ago to #linuxmint and while I can run Rebelle7 through wine, Krita has actually grown on me quite a bit. The fact that it's free though: There's no equivalent in my mind anymore. Highly recommend! What are you using?

I just realized that the #artfight tag is absolutely bursting with real artists. No AI slop (so far). Goodness that is so completely beautiful and refreshing.

And another one for #teammystery on #artfight going out towards a great friend and mentor artfight.net/~DaQueen #artfight2026 #art #digitalart #krita #dnd #dnd5e #pf2e #ttrpg

All this #artfight stuff is still confusing but it's incredible to be part of it. My recent attack on @caerlingrey.bsky.social went smoothly! #artfight2026 #digitalart #krita #timelapse

time to share my third #artfight attack! the wonderful isa by @imperor.bsky.social 🌊 [ #art / #artfight2026 / #ocsky ]

My very first submission to #artfight ever after about 1 and a half year of learning (or trying to) learn digital art with a switch from windows to Linux inbetween; I present you Kimly by the amazing artfight.net/~DaQueen - you can find me here: artfight.net/~imperorthef... #art #artfight26

This is the first time ever I join #artfight as usual; I have no idea what I am doing. Let's go get to it! Co-Work-Co-Draw-Co-Hang with me: twitch.tv/imperorthefi... #art #digitalart #live #twitch #krita #linux

I have finally gotten around to setting up my website to serve all #ttrpg maps and battle maps that I have made in the past 5+ years for my campaigns. They're all free right here: impheim.com/ttrpg-maps/ Let me know what you think :) #dnd #pf2e #dnd5e #map #battlemap

Wait you are allowed to reuse your Warhammer 40k models? I thought when they die you have to get new ones!?

Just in time for 2026 #artfight I managed to finish this NPC from my last DnD campaign I ran. Meet Prof. Houly Whipwing! artfight.net/~imperorthef... #art #digitalart #krita #beginner #dnd #ttrpg

Stern Owl Professor being stern - digital art time to shade? Let's see if I mess this up or get this right. I'm still scared of that part, but honestly? It's getting better. I hope I do him justice +.+ Come by and help? Co-Art/-Work? :) twitch.tv/imperorthefi... #krita #art #digitalart #dnd
