Just one #drawing today, a giant ambushes a half orc druid and his fighter companion.

unfortunately “maid” is “demoiselle” and not “femme” so I can’t make the joke I wanted about “La Faim d’Orleans with her fearsome battle cry of CREPES! CREPES AVEC NUTELLA ET FRAMBOISES!”

The late Kim Jung-Gi had this wild sense of humor, you’d see it in his art and it came across in interviews, so without ever having been vaguely near the guy, I got the impression of someone you’d *want* to hang out with -artist types talking about him seem to bear this out. I could never draw like him, but he *definitely* made me want to try out fish eye perspective, and he definitely got me stoked to draw stuff. Who knows what other stuff he did that made it into my subconscious?

see the chain’s called Ivar’s because they want you to know how boneless their fish is. It’s marketing aimed at fans of early medieval Scandinavian history.

Skald's cover of "Seven Nation Army" is about the Great Heathen Army, with the seven nations in question being Northumbria, Mercia, Wessex, and East Anglia (while alluding to three other Saxon kingdoms which had already been integrated). Clearly this makes more sense than the White Stripes' version.

people defend Chick Fil A on a political basis but suspiciously never mention what sides they have, like do they have red beans and rice like at Popeye’s? yeah well that’s what I thought.

Honestly I thought Velma was straight and Daphne was female-biased?

Random reading about the Great Chevauchee gets me to the d’Albret family. You can tell a knightly family is old and powerful when their arms are gules. Not quartered or crossed or anything. Just gules.

She is beauty she is grace
That’s her shed fur all over the place

… and right now she could probably sleep through the Battle of Kursk. Luckily I probably don’t need to use that hallway. #siberian #gracefulsprawl

I don’t love Twitter, but it’s okay, and I really don’t want to move elsewhere when it becomes part of the Musk Cinematic Universe

Just if I felt I could, I would skip work today.

Anyway here’s a couple of #wip #drawings from today, a spaceship cockpit (with furry crew) and the court of a Fiendish lord of some sort (not DnD verbatim). Very rough but I feel good about the “blocking” and freehand perspective on these.

Anyway trying to think about happier stuff. I acquired a used book of Frank Frazetta art yesterday, and it's not just the big saturated color paintings but there's entirely too few inked drawings from the 70s which are... I don't think anyone idealizes Frazetta for being delicate, but that's the best way to describe his inks.

okay so I'm at Starbucks drawing (the company's evil, but there's 1 indy place between work and my apartment open after 1900), the barrista shows up to let me know they're closing in 30, says they like my drawings and asks questions - how long have you been drawing, do you work as an artist, but the weird one is "are you a *famous* artist?" Even if I were I can't imagine many people knowing about me beyond a tiny audience.

#drawings tweaked yesterday from the past week. Arctic fox and a friend’s rubber toy character as a hyena; a friend’s dwarf character and a Baphomet; cat, deer and fox pinup characters.

#drawings from the past week tweaked yesterday; if DnD were entirely my lore “ceremorphosis” would turn you into basically cephalopod fantasy MODOC. Here’s a mind flayer and their duergar minions!
