Giv Blorbo fact? Any blorbo...any fact...
Ohhhh! Let's see..... Azarath has a habit of always covering his mouth when in public or when he is talking to people. It is a subconscious habit and he doesn't realize he does it unless people point it out.
It is a habit from growing up and people pointing out how sharp his teeth were/abnormal they looked to his home culture. He still is extremely self conscious and it plays into his trauma as well that he is the only survivor of his entire family that were wiped out for being "impure blood"... his teeth always a reminder that his lineage was mixed with something wrong.
Now he is doubly self-conscious because of the vampirism disease he has. He just really has a subconscious tick to cover it that is a super hard habit to break...

Sorry for being quiet here ; w ; Brain has been in a fog of late when it comes to art. Hoping can get things sorted out as there are many ideas I want to draw!
Just going to let my brain veg and write things until it is feeling energy to tackle some art again c: I've learned not to push myself and listen to my body when it says it needs to just be given some time.
Will try to poke around for more reblogging!

A portrait I made of Arcien Yu'Yden as a study! I wanted to practise how to draw their features and, after several failed attempts, I think I'm happy with this one~ (They're my morally questionable drow/tiefling wizard!)

hello hello, today I bring one of the most detailed pieces I've made up to date, made for the Character Study zine!
I know cyberpunk isn't the typical dnd setting but Centi's campaign has been the longest and most emotional game I've been part of so far, so I really wanted to draw a tribute to it, especially now that it's ending (just the epilogue left!)
I'm gonna miss playing this chaotic lesbian ❤️

Don't Use GenSlop on your Book Covers!
I am absolutely baffled by the number of AUTHORS willing to use AI art on their book covers. This seems counter-productive. I will not buy a book that uses AI on the cover because it VERY STRONGLY suggests that the writing content is also genSlop. 
Like, why shoot yourself in the foot like that, when there are literally SO MANY WAYS to make an amazing book cover without compromising your integrity? 
It's not just indie authors I put on the shitlist, either. Paolini is on there for the cover of Fractal Noise. He's arguably the one who opened the door to these creativity leeches, because his book was the first.
And there's so many authors who are proud of "taking down" artists, like we were ever on a pedestal to begin with. Dude. We never made enough to survive. By taking us down, you're taking us from "barely scraping by" to "dead in the gutter." The truth is, extremely successful artists will be fine, because their names carry them through and get them work. People want art in Michael Whelan's style, for example. The people GenSlop will hurt are the artists that didn't even make $15K/year on their artwork. 
The most frustrating thing I've seen going around is the whole "LOL artists will need to get a real job now!" and this just reeks of the gutting of arts programs in schools in the 1990s and 2000s. It means that little boys consider "football" a career to aspire to, but not "book cover artist." To me? FOOTBALL is the hobby, and the people who play it professionally get paid WAY too much to do it. To me, art is ten THOUSAND percent more valuable. 
But I'm not going to go around hoping NHL players get "taken down a peg." Even if wishing for that is INFINITELY less cruel than hoping artists go hungry because you think they're gatekeeping. 
I will not buy your book if the cover is AI. I will not buy your book if you even HINT you're supportive of AI. I will not buy your book if you decide you need to be "devil's advocate" or say something like "the AI debate isn't black and white." It is. AI is bullshit. Use of it is theft. You are a fucking criminal in my eyes if you use gen AI on a book cover, and I will assume your writing is AI-generated, too. Full stop. 
There are so many ways to get a quality book cover without breaking the bank or underpaying artists. Those ways existed BEFORE GenAI, and they exist now. You have no excuse for that shit. Knock it off.

Of course the only plan is to find eleven of your friends to all make trolls and then make a proper sgrub game of it XD
(did it once, pure chaos, but made my best friends out of it lol)

So uh. Happy 4/13! Here's my freshly finished fantroll, bc I thought it'd be funny to make one on 2024 I guess-
I don't have a name for her, so suggestions would be welcome. I wanted to push a bit the bug traits, as well as some bull-like stuff since she's a rustblood. No idea what I'll do for her. Probably another tiefling for DnD. It's the pipeline, anyhow-
