Hey hi happy Pride <3

Felt odd having my “hi i’m ace” post be a) buried in with last year’s diary drawings and b) use a character that wasn’t me, so I decided it was time for a very purple self-portrait.

So: Hi, I’m ace <3

I love breaking character designs into simple, flat, vaguely muppety shapes!

So here’s Ed and Stede, and Ivan, Izzy, and Fang, drawn in Illustrator.

Book of Days, holiday cleaning edition

21- Made a pumpkin alfredo using some of the pumpkin puree I still had left in the freezer from Halloween. It’s so gooood you guuuys 22- Continued experimenting with techniques for work, this time playing with a style I developed for a project earlier this year that involves a barrage of photoshop filters and bright colors. Felt nice to do something warm and bright to contrast the rainstorm outside. 23- Pretty much ran out of work to do at that point, but hey, it was my last workday of the year, so that worked out pretty well! 24- Look upon this laundry, my son. Everything the jersey cotton sheet set touches is still wet. 25- Christmas was spent cleaning at my parents’ house, I was on Dig Stuff Out Of The Playroom duty and came back with all my old Barbies. Still haven’t figured out where they’ll go, ha ha oh no 26- In between cleaning I had a Dungeons & Dragons Session Zero for my siblings! It being my first time DM’ing, though, there was a lot of looking desperately to my brother who had DM’d and asking advice. I looked up medieval European abacuses for Hemera instead of a calculator, because that’s how I like to have fun. 27- I didn’t mask up enough during the previous day’s chores, and wound up with an allergic reaction to the dust AGAIN… (and I know that’s a suspicious thing to say in these covid days, but it’s really a clockwork cause and effect now, I’m just still getting used to dealing with baby’s first allergy over here) 28- My to-do list that day was to dust, do laundry, start cookies, and cram in as much D&D research as I could. 29- My apartment was finally spotless, and I was able to welcome my brother and his wife to stay for the holiday – with homemade cookies! 30- Our Christmas was delayed due to scheduling conflicts. We had a lovely, chill day. 31- The evening of New Year’s Eve it was finally time for our D&D oneshot! My sibs were champs, knocking over my improperly-scaled adversaries and navigating the dungeon layout i stole wholeclothadapted from the pyramid of khufu.

Whew!! That’s the whole year finished! Thank you for coming along on this journey with me, it’s been a lot of fun! I’m enjoying not being beholden to a daily art project for now, though who knows, Horace and Hemera may return again someday! Happy New Year, everyone!

Final Fantsy XV: Best Friend

I was inspired by that scene where Essek and Caleb break time and space.

Some details:
Representing Caleb and transmutation: Sun dial and butterfly metamorphosis Representing Essek and dunamancy: Moon phases and space

I just missed the first anniversary of Ghost of Tsushima by a few days, but here’s a little fan art to celebrate. Super excited to play the upcoming director’s cut!

mattrobot:

All October long, I’ll be posting monster drawings on my Tumblr page. Here we have Medusa from the Ray Harryhausen-produced Clash of the Titans. Man… that movie freaked me out so much when I was a kid. I couldn’t look at Medusa for fear of turning to stone. She just terrified me.

My pal, good ol’ Matt Talbot. I’m retumbling this series of illustrations because he is awesome.
