I'm looking to take on a couple of commissions for March, feel free to reach out if you're interested! All info below ✨ #ttrpg #art #fantasyart

We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country. This Friday, where will you be? standupforscience2025.org

Just found out that Cardinal Dragon was accepted into IBA 13! Thank you so much to the judges--it's an honor being included alongside so many incredible artists.

Rose Gauntlet previewed this so I guess I can too! This is for Gone to Gaia--the current big project I'm on. It's legit one of the most exciting things I've ever gotten to be part of, I can't wait to share more.

I've been radio silent lately. We had a death in the family back in Dec, and I decided to unplug for a month. I'm back now, and will start sharing again. "Muirgen" created in 2017 in chalk pastels. I love doing chalk pastel portraits. I'm considering going back to this style just to relax.

January is international Read-An-Anthology Month! If you're in the Greater Boston Area, Pandemonium Books is hosting me and @jelliclejay.bsky.social to talk about our weird queer anthologies. Saturday January 25th, 6:30pm

Hi #PortfolioDay I do cover art and game illustrations.

Hi #portfolioday! My name is Lyss and I love painting colorful and surreal things! I'm hoping to do more book cover and tabletop work this coming year 😁 💙 www.lyssmenold.com

Jack Frost 😁💙❄️ I used to have so much less anxiety around art--when I was a kid there was less pressure, more enthusiasm. I'm trying to get back there by revisiting some pics I did as a kid, before I'd learned to be self-conscious. That's what this painting was about, and it was so much fun!!

Someday I'd like to do a whole painting series of migrations on alien worlds.

Calling all convention artists to compare data! I found it interesting to consider that after adjusting for the fact that conventions are responsible for the lion's share of my business costs, cons currently bring in over 50% of my net profit.

I spent literally all of my savings working fulltime on my game over the last year, and Kickstarter funds don’t come through for 2 weeks, so I’m going to open up a single commission slot! Ping me if you want an illustration! 😎

Plz feel free to QRP with your blue #art 💙

Heads up I'm currently updating and adding to my block/moderation list for people who mainly or wholly posts AI images and media on here. Every account has been handpicked and evaluated beforehand by me. I don't put researchers and one time offenders on here, but mainly AI slobtent posters.

LEAP OF FAITH (2002) Acrylic on Panel - 11" x 10" The smallest of the Faded Star series, it is a visual reflection of the unease and excitement I felt at jumping forth into the [for me] new world of so-called fine art painting. www.michaelwhelan.com/galleries/le...

Today's mini tutorial: ANY color can appear as white in a picture. It's all... relative. #art #tutorial

I love looking out my window in winter and seeing fluffy little cardinals 😭❤️. I want to do a series of little dragons based on the guys I see at my bird feeder, just gotta find the time.

I don't get to do fan art as much as I'd like to. If I had all the time in the world I'd probably spend a good chunk of it painting robots #maccadam #transformers

I needed to scratch the itch to draw Lucanis in this outfit... [ #art | #dragonage | #dragonagetheveilguard | #lucanis ]

I feel like videogames actually do provide a pretty accurate representation of real life right now because a lot of videogames are like “THE WORLD IS ENDING” and then you just collect herbs and pretend nothing is wrong

just a simple city… 🐊✨ #pixelart
