La Forge, Perceptive Engineer MtG: Star Trek AD: Cassie Murphy It was a I got to paint La Forge, one of the main characters from TNG. That was my first contact as a kid with this franchise and not in a million years would I have thought that I would do official art for it in the future!

Hello creators with preview cards for upcoming Magic sets, We at @scryfall.com have one very easy request. Please stop tilting card images at stupid angles. We want to put them on the website and credit you. Trying to un-tilt the card image makes that tough. We might just skip crediting. Thanks 💙

So Disclosure Day was... bad? Overall felt silly, the score felt at odds with the implied tone, and it was the worst looking big budget affair ive seen in a while. Everything felt shiny, smooth, and fake. Late to this probably but it surprised me how meh it was.

I haven't done a lot of Dragon Age Fanart in the last three years, but here are some of my all time favs that I painted. I even got to work with BioWare in official capacity and I will forever treasure this. ♥️ Dragon Age literally changed my life. It breaks my heart to see the studio closing.

Dragon Age truly changed my life, I met so many cool people through the fandom and also evolved as an artist and I even had the pleasure to work with Bioware, truly a dream come true. The Bioware team past and present inspired me and many more and it will continue to do so.

Mikey & Leo, Chaos & Order AD Stephanie Cheung As with all other UB art I can't show anything related to the process, but I can talk a bit about it :) Was once again really happy to do some official TMNT art. Leo's my fav! Brief was him and Mikey doing some fighting in an alien bar vs Tricero's

My 4th oil study ever, with the first 2 (can't find the 3rd but it's also rough) For a while I didn't think I could do it, actually paint with oils. Each time I tried I was anxious and rushed, used too much medium (IE; any) & ended up with soupy messes -

"Taking a dip in a piranha pool" is infinitely less vitriolic than people wishing literal "I hope you die" sentiments and it's a completely unrealistic scenario. I see posts get away with breaking every one of the "for example" bullet points and yet it's only trans folk who get held to standard.

Wow its so crazy how this only seems to happen to trans people and not the side wishing LITERAL GENOCIDE on us. #freethebugs is back ig. Let my friend out of mod jail. This is so ridiculous.

As much as I appreciate the remarkable dedication of Bluesky's moderators to protecting cis het me-lookin' dudes from the very real danger of... [checks notes]... figurative language, maybe they could redirect just a little of that energy to stopping threats of literal genocide against trans folks?
