People fail to understand the degree of insane bloodthirst and dehumanization taught to 'israelis' like the one in front of this image. She genuinely sees the woman in the back as vermin and finds fun in tormenting her. This is a core tenet of their culture. They will humiliate Palestinians in whichever way they can on any given day ranging from petty to lethal. Their textbooks have caricatures. They draw unibrows on themselves and dream about Disneyland in Gaza on TikTok. They make fun of dead babies by comparing them to food.

This photo is 'israel'. There is no peaceful conversation with people whose heart's desire is to do this. There is no peace or dignity while the occupation lasts.

Just prof things with Gale, featuring a direct quote and some REAL ACTUAL MATH from my partner (who is also a nerdy prof)

This is a Valentines post I completely forgot to post so here it is!

Here's some sketches of Ban, I'm trying to figure out his design more. He's an Aasimar rogue who comes from a very religious community, he was pretty much worshiped because her was "blessed" by their god (hence the green skin and yellow eyes) he later left "home" and moved to the city of Westgate.

This is just a little sketch I made for an event on a discord server I'm in, this is my character Ban Sunfond on the day of his wedding to his lovely husband Zuram Sunfond 😊

This is my character Mienna Kistent, she is a wood elf bard who comes from the deep woods of the Dalelands. Growing up surrounded by music living with her parents and sister life was good, she grew close to an adventureur named Si'Morah Telyrr who would commonly visit the town who taught her to manipulate the weave with her music (as well as becoming miennas first crush 🤭)

She is pretty cool and I will be posting more of her!

NOO NOT MY CURSED BRAIN THINKING ABOUT HOW #ASTARION HUNTS ANIMALS FOR BLOOD THEN WONDERING IF IT WOULD SMELL BAD TO HIM AFTER IT WAS COOKED BACK AT CAMP AND THEN HAVING FLASHBACKS TO GOLLUM LOSING HIS SHIT OVER THOSE COOKED RABBITS

"YOU RUINSED IT!!!" -WAILS-

GALE JUST TAKING IT AND NOT KNOWING THAT WAS ASTARION'S SNACK FOR LATER. Communal it was not.

*Me swearing I love Astarion with all my heart and then my first full-body drawing of him being this*

'HE LIKES IT RAW, AND WRIGGLING'

Finally finished it after procrastinating for so long 😅

He had a bit of a rough landing...

I animated this for fun! I like the idea of spawn Astarion still being able to turn into a bat, it just takes a lot out of him hehehe

So happy to finally show off my final piece for the Tome of Pacts zine I feature in.

This is Hagne, the Herald of Rot, and faithful servant to her Patron, Cicardia. Her look was inspired by several things -- death masks, pomegranates, worn bronze, flies and centipedes. The butterflies she carries feed on death and decay. Hagne herself felt the cold embrace of the grave, but was blessed to find herself given another chance. She will not fail.

I am so honored to have been a part of this project, and this is one of my favorite pieces to date. I hope you guys enjoy it as well. :)

Finished the sketch! I really am happy with how the entire thing turned out, I'm just now putting the flat colors down.

As someone who likes to focus on character design in my art and frequents a lot of character creation spaces because of it, I feel I can say with confidence (Most of) the characters in The Amazing Digital Circus have commonly-used-online design traits and sources of inspiration, which make their designs feel not too exciting and maybe a bit uninspired.

HOWEVER, What makes these guys more unique lays in their personality, voice acting and animation, which perfectly fits the narrative of the story (imagine being stuck in VRchat). And It's literally perfectly fine to like the designs as they are. Their character designs have good colour contrasts which balance nicely over the design, a good weight distribution, strong shape language AND have an overarching style that ties them all together while also distinctly being based on different things and looking like they all come from a different genre of entertainment. For what these characters are, they are DESIGNED REALLY WELL.

I feel the character with the most unique and self-contained (for lack of a better word for "visually not directly inspired by something") design by far is Pomni. Literally chef's kiss. I love her expressions, love her strong colour scheme and I love how her jester's hat is stylised to be sometimes almost completely straight at the top. Her flat hat together mixed with the straight-cut strands of hair peeking out from under it are such a good and subtle contrast to her other round features that I'd dare to say they reflect her seriousness through the forced silly get-up put onto her by this digital prison. And her whole clown outfit is a really good contrast to the genuine dread and existential horror she's feeling in general. I can't get enough of it. Her design is perfect for her role in the story and also as introduction to the world we as the audience are new to.

That's why I'm honestly absolutely appalled by the amount of bad faith and horrible posts I've seen towards this project as a whole. It's one thing to not like it, but a totally whole other thing to actively make it (and the fans) out to be the worst most offensive creation to have ever touched the eyes of mortal men. It's not. And remember, people can be trolls to make a fandom look worse.

Online we have a fondness for kidcore and weirdcore aesthetics based on vague familiarity and nostalgia. It's OKAY to like a story/characters INSPIRED by these things. You are allowed to indulge on your own interests. Don't take these mean spirited posts to heart. If they don't respect your positive opinions of the show, you don't have to respect their negative opinions of it either.

I'm making a pretty cool drawing of Astarion for Halloween 🤭 can't wait to finish it.

Here is Siguel Zarcona! My Bg3 character! I love them so much and wanted to share them in all their glory!

Originally from Elturel but their family moved to Baldur's Gate when they were young. Became a talented glass blower and later adventurer!
