A pinup illustration undead character with a punk aesthetic holding a gnarled hook on a chain over her head.

An illustration of a white haired swordsman standing with his blade drawn, an arc of blood tracing its movement. His long ponytail whips out behind him, continuing the blade's motion.

An illustration of a ninja-looking fellow, clad head to toe in black. His golden belt buckle is styled like an octopus, and the frills of his hood spreads out as an octopus would.

A reference sheet for [redacted] Iselsi [/redacted] Ledaal Toshiaki, chosen of secrets, a man with long dark hair and breezy looking clothes with a starry motif. Among his accessories are a white folding cane, gloves that only cover the ring and middle finger, and a 360 view of his okobo sandals.

Hey there, #portfolioday, it's me, Guy.
I've been drawing a lot of roleplaying game characters this year! Here are some Exalted. The first two belong to shiftingpath and skarchomp respectively (both on tumblr), the next two are mine.

CHARITY STREAM PART 2
Continuing my first run of Dungeons and Degenerate gamblers, and hoping to go ~3 hours until I need to break for dinner!
I've also raised the donation goal to $100, and meeting it will earn more 8 year old art!

Oh dear. That is suspicious.

A screenshot of a tumblr post reading: "Title: So you want to learn pixel art? Subtitle: Part 1 of ??? - The Basics! Hello, my name is Tofu and I'm a professional pixel artist. I have been supporting myself with freelance pixel art since 2020, when I was let go from my job during the pandemic." Two images comparing artistic improvement, the left is of a rudimentary tree, and the right is of a statue in a wall recess surrounded by plants and dappled light. "My progress, from 2017 to 2024. IMO the only thing that really matters is time and effort, not some kind of natural talent for art. This guide will not be comprehensive, as nobody should be expected to read allat. Instead I will lean heavily on my own experience, and share what worked for me, so take everything with a grain of salt. This is a guide, not a tutorial. Cheers!"

I never posted this here, but I made a pretty big write-up over on Tumblr for anyone interested in learning #pixelart!
It's a guide on software, fundamentals, jargon and resources.

Since links are legal on Bsky I can share it: www.tumblr.com/tofupixel/75...

Hope someone finds it useful!

What's the story on the dev credits?

Friday is my annual charity stream! Last time I crashed after 6 hours and raised $54, but this time I want to go even further beyond!

I'll start with Dungeons and Degenerate Gamblers at 10:30-ish am, take a break at 1pm, and then... who knows! Gaming.

1. Exalted Essence
2. Monster of the Week (though I think my group has kind of run through all the interesting mechanics. If anyone has suggestions on a similar replacement game, I'm all ears)
3. Pokemon Tabletop Adventure (it's fun mixing series-long fans with newbies and seeing what game emerges)

all of my #ttrpg characters follow one theme:
They think they've got it all figured out, until...

(Quote with your own!)

Stream complete, and REF COMPLETE!!!!!! I DID IT!!!!!!
I'm going to probably add some detail notes and a black and white version to more easily see the lineart, but overall!!! Done!!

My post from Tumblr which reads: I genuinely wonder if people realize how many projects get abandoned because the readership "wasn't there", when in reality, the readership just stayed silent. It's a big thing in trad pub that book series get discontinued because readers pirate the books or wait until the series is finished to buy a copy, leading the publisher to think that nobody actually wants the book enough to continue the series, but it happens with indie creators too. I've discontinued a lot of free, online series because it's not worth putting 3-5 hours a week into posting a project for no readers. Sometimes I finish the series for me but just never post it again, other times I don't finish it at all because it feels more worthwhile to put my time into other things. Sometimes I hear from readers who are sad or upset that I didn't finish something they were liking, but the *reason* it never got finished is because I didn't know anyone liked it. If you like something, tell the creator, tell your friends, make some noise about it. If you would be sad if a story never finished, make that interest known because one of my biggest considerations before discontinuing a series is "will people miss this? Will I be letting people down" and 9/10 times, I come to the conclusion of "no, it doesn't even seem like anyone's reading this" only to learn after I've moved on that apparently someone was.

You may have seen this post circling talking about how important it is to tell creators when you appreciate what they do.

The irony is it's MY post from Tumblr stolen by someone else. Please reskeet THIS post & NOT the stolen one bc we support creators making their own work on bluesky.

I'll be streaming more Veilguard today in just a little over an hour! Come join me and tell me about your Thanksgiving victories and failures.

Copied from twitter because DPI talk is happening again:

If you're not printing and your canvas is a fixed size defined in pixels, the DPI doesn't matter at all. Not even a little bit. It can be changed at any point for the size you need if you later do intend to print it.

Does anyone know of any Exalted Essence Actual Plays? I'm curious to see how other groups use recovery scenes and ventures (and there could always be more Exalted in my life).

What more folks need to understand that the whole deal with making art is that it goes beyond just the manual labor of creating it. Taking care of your self and body, experiencing life, developing skills and concepts are all part of it too. All of it is part of the work.

Colors get! Looking good!

Miss this guy. I used to run him as a kid when I had no concept of strategy except "big dragons (featuring Freed the Matchless General for some reason)".

a cartoon drawing of a demon with a beard Alt: Scenes from Mononoke The Movie: The Phantom in the Rain. The Medicine Seller faces the camera with a smirk. A young woman looks up, determined. A few shots of water: being poured, in a cup, and down a well. An austere woman's face is replaced with a spiral.

I gotta do some intense style studies on this movie. I've struggled a lot developing my art skills because I've never really had a defined target goal for myself. This might be it.

When I can't make art, I dive into what others have made. It's not a bad time to engage with media that will be inspiration for later.

It happens to everyone. 👍

Two panels of Daniel Craig in Glass Onion, edited to have backgrounds from Mononoke. Panel 1: "it makes no damn sense." Panel 2: "Compels me though."

Just binged the entire Mononoke 2007 anime with my roommates. I entered with only the information "the medicine seller goes from place to place doing exorcisms, basically". I left with exactly that much information. That was often very pretty but what the hell.
