Y’ALL I FORGOT TODAY WAS VETERAN’S DAY

He’s done! Cher Ami was a French homing pigeon who flew 25 miles despite multiple injuries to stop friendly fire on an American battalion in WWI. His taxidermied remains are at the Smithsonian.

Progress report on Cher Ami! Getting close to finished, but the background needs something

Flat color from yesterday’s stream!

Complete sketch for my current piece. I’m apparently making a series of poster for historical animals that deserve recognition 😤

I've been wanting to make stickers that show my love for uranium glass, so I made glow in the dark stickers showing a few of the patterns found on depression and vaseline glass. This is the Cameo pattern by Hocking Glass (also called Ballerina), Georgian Lovebirds by Federal Glass, and Mermaid Royale Fan by Pukeberg Glass.

There’s nothing like seeing prints of your digital art. It’s so incredibly validating 💚

I can’t decide if I should restart from Origins or if I should just jump into the Veilguard. In the meantime, here’s the mate to the Dreadwolf bookmark, this time a Halla.

[magmagazine]

You’re telling me I was supposed to find out Dragon Age: The Veilguard came out yesterday through a Mastodon post?! Anyways, here’s a Dreadwolf bookmark I accidentally released at the perfect time

Sticker shop is live! The website is a brand new baby, so there may be issues. Please let me know if something funky happens. But go buy some stickers!! https://magmagazine.art/product-category/stickers/

[magmagazine]

Fun fact, I don't have any of my art hanging on my own walls. I like looking at other people's better, so I'll have to make do with product staging photos

Please stop being so loyal to these social media companies that don’t care about you! This goes for tumblr too. There is no real security that your content isn’t being scraped for AI datasets, just a good faith agreement. I doubt the opt out feature is even effective.

The amount of people saying they’ll die with tumblr, how much they love this hellhole is astonishing. Why are you so blindly supporting these companies that obviously don’t care about their user bases? There are wonderful alternatives out there that are staunchly anti-AI or completely open source.

Cohost—a tumblr clone with very awesome values and incredibly interactive users

Mastodon—open source Twitter where each server owner sets the rules, so you can choose what kind of content is allowed before you join

Pixelfed—open source Instagram that is federated with Mastodon so the posts are shared between both platforms

Cara—a really cool art app that is a perfect combination of Instagram and Twitter. Staunchly anti-AI, they encourage their users to use Glaze on their images to protect them from AI and will eventually use Nightshade as well.

Did I mention all of these are AD FREE???

These are just the few I know and use. Please try some of these out! Tumblr is not your friend and will sell anything you let them touch without your permission. Instagram is no different. I only have kept posting on here because there’s so few people on the others it’s hard to get a following. Help us change that! Drain these corporate pigs of their user base and income!

Happy Pride Month from your neighborhood Texan trans queer artist!

Apparently a gouache style is what’s in the cards for this tarot deck (pun intended, style was not, I am so not sorry) Here’s the WIP of Link as card 0, The Fool!

The Fool is a card of innocence and purity. He is pure potential, everything is possible. He is also the protagonist of the Major Arcana, beginning the Hero’s Journey. I feel Link from Breath of the Wild, especially with his amnesia, fits the spirit of this card very well.

Also who didn’t want to just yeet themselves off that cliff the first time you saw that trailer
