A brown elf in dark blue kimono stands at the edge of water. She holds a staff with a large round white lantern hanging from the end. Behind her is a dark, hilly landscape with a faint trail of single lanterns winding down across the land, as if following a path. In the water a reflection is seen, either a moon rising or simply the lantern she holds.

Back with another from EXU: Divergence. Rei’nia Saph lights the way forward. Hope-holder and light-bringer. (I did my best with the kanji 🤣) #criticalrolefanart #criticalrole

There is a current attempt to change the definition of what constitutes water in a way that would leave many wetlands and riparian habitats unprotected. You can read the proposal, and comment, here: www.regulations.gov/document/EPA...

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Comics – The Art of Elaine Tipping An ancient empire awakens, bent on reclaiming the world they once dominated. A small group of people, drawn together by a common cause, are determined to stop them. However, they face more than threats from the outside…. A queer, high fantasy adventure (with a dash of sci fi).

Happy #AsexualAwarenessDay!!

I'm Ace and basically all my main characters in my original stories are too, plus a number of side characters XD

So if you’re looking for a range of aces, check out my comics!

Japanese manga-style digital drawing of Crokas, a white dragonborn monk with black spotting coloration. He is facing the viewer with a stern, focused stare. He is depicted as a sumo wrestler ritually stomping and throwing salt in the ring. He wears a stylized Stormgirdle, drawn as a white rope belt with yellow lightning bolts descending from it. Underneath he wears a dark blue loincloth. A glowing orb of Avalir hangs at his belt.

Well I got a little inspired by EXU Divergence, so here's my try at Crokas #criticalrolefanart #criticalrole

A brown skinned elf woman robed in gold kimono with circular patterns, with a purple-blue obi and pointed mantle, stands on a black background with red flower petals scattering around her. Behind her is a large golden gear. She holds a fancy glass of champagne and a glowing mechanical orb leviates from her other hand.

After finishing EXU Divergence (in tears of course), I had to go back and rewatch the masterpiece that is EXU Calamity. Consequently, here is the final drawing from my Calamity character series, Laerryn Coramar-Seelie, the Architect Arcane herself #criticalrolefanart #criticalrole

Speechless. Incredible. What a gift to Matt and to us. #exudivergence

A grey skinned humanoid dressed in brown robes with purple under-robe and sash stands on a levitating disc. He wears a noh mask depicting the old man, or okina. He is holding a folded fan and looks up as if speaking to a distant audience. He is lit by four colored beams of light which intersect to mix new colors.

Next in my series of EXU Calamity characters, Loquatius Seelie #criticalrolefanart

Japanese woodcut style digital drawing of a hawk-person, dressed in brown kimono and grey wide pants. He holds a talon-shaped axe and stands above the viewer in a circular window set in a wall decorated with gold runes

For no particular reason whatsoever here’s the next in my EXU Calamity series: Cerrit Agrupnin #criticalrolefanart

Ukiyo-e inspired digital drawing of Nydas Okiro, a black man seated on the floor. He wears red, yellow, and orange robes, and brown patterned pants. He carries a purple fan. A spectral dragon curls a long snaky body around him and into the air. They look at each other, the dragon in outrage and Nydas with calm authority.

Next up in my EXU Calamity project: Nydas Okiro and Sha’korzhan (is my memory mocked anew?) #criticalrolefanart

Thanks! These are also two of my favorite things. 😃

Another in my ukiyo-e inspired series from EXU Calamity: Zerxus Ilerez #criticalrolefanart

Ukiyo-e style digital drawing of a pale female elf in flowing gree kimono, yellow obi and blue under robes. She is seated on a floating round platform holding a long clay pipe in one hand. In the background, waterfalls spill down from other floating platforms by magical means.

Did a fun speculative series for EXU Calamity back on that other place. Dropping some here in the new place instead! Here’s Patia Por’co #criticalrolefanart

a two panel comic, the top panel has a headline of an Ezra Klein piece that reads The Democratic Blind Spot That Wrecked 2024. The lower panel features a goose chasing a man and the goose is saying "Who wrecked 2024?!"

Murc's law: the widespread assumption that only Democrats have any agency or causal influence over American politics.

Yeah there are a lot of them on Amazon but I’d think you could find them in a tech store too. Get uv-a or -b; uv-c is for disinfecting stuff.

Japanese-style drawing of a green owlbear in a black kimono & red obi, looking over their right shoulder with eyes downcast. They wear a crown of pink peonies. Three large pink peonies are arrayed across the top of the image.

Delloso de la Rue, (former) Mistrex of the Bloom. Such a great mini-campaign!

Have you tried a uv flashlight? It should actually show pee stains. They’re pretty cheap nowadays!
