Thanks for the tag @angelofthemornings!

Rules: Make a new post and post your latest/most recent line from your WIP and tag as many people as there are words.

...Unfortunately, I have no active WIP at the moment. Just a lot of PIP...Practice in Progress. I'm doing a lot of very small things, mostly for pleasure, with no particular end goal in mind.

But there's no rule saying I can't share old WIPs, writing-adjacent. Besides, I've seen the art equivalent of this particular tag going around --and these days I don't distinguish much between art and writing and whatever else.

So!

For my big WIP late last year/earlier this year, I taught myself how to book-bind. Which it turns out I really, really like to do (a surprise to me --until now, I've never had any success sewing anything).

These two little hardcover sketchbooks are my favorites, so far.

This was part of a giant, composite project: I was writing a book (not a novel, but a book-length written work), with the intention of binding a few copies of it myself, each copy unique (different covers, different embellishments in the formatting, different dedication at the opening of the book, etc., as suited to particular individuals). I was also making small ink drawings for the 'chapter' illustrations. The goal was to give the finished books as gifts.

...This was very time-and-energy-consuming. xD I got roughly 80,000 words written, 50 illustrations thumbnailed, and you can see I was making good progress on the binding bit (my first attempts were either very flimsy, or very stiff...clearly home-made. These sketchbooks may not be beautiful, but they're just as sturdy as any store-bought journal, and the pages turn perfectly)!

It was close, but it never did get finished. Ah well. I'm proud of myself for learning new things, and for getting very far on a very ambitious idea (and for being insane enough to try in the first place, fueled by love and homosexual audacity). And I can take what I've learned with me into future projects.

I always want to tag all my mutuals, so consider yourself tagged, but just scrolling through my recent notes: @epaily @celebkiriedhel @a-case-for-wonder @lollo12589 @ozbian @criticalrolo-main @sonicspocketwrench1 @pawthorn @maydaymadier @jaffefuneralhomes @medinaquirin @velocirabbit @archfeyfrumpkin @bunchofasholes @ora-cool @quill-of-thoth @shadyorc and...yeah, anyone xD

Tapping the “If art cannot be made without abusing those that make it, I do not want it” sign vigorously once again.

CGI animators should unionize next. normally, their jobs would be too precarious to strike, since studios would replace them without a second thought, but if it's part of this larger general film strike, they might finally have meaningful power to better their working conditions

Monster Analysis: Skirath Hunters

Thanks to @pawthorn​ for this art piece!

Encounter Appearance: 3-023 To The Skies

Armor Class 18

Speed 90 ft flying

Estimated total HP: 120

Hunter 1: 123 damage taken, 16 HDYWTDT by Orym

Hunter 2: 120 damage taken, 14 HDYWTDT by Ashton

The badlands of the Hellcatch Valley serve as a persisting relic of the Calamity, the previously verdant jungle turned into a hostile wasteland. We’re reminded of the Mighty Nein’s trek through the Barbed Fields of Xhorhas in Campaign 2, which was similarly impacted by the battle between the gods. The Hellcatch Valley, also dubbed the Hungry Valley, is now home to a landscape that will quite literally open up into seemingly endless sinkholes with no prior warning… and then close those same sinkholes with no warning. This kind of unpredictable landscape makes on-land travel less than appealing, both for travelers and for a number of creatures, including the skirath hunter.

“I’ve been angry for thirty years.”

Ashton watching Keyleth, in constant pain with her injuries, talking about anger, about using anger and staying angry.

That was something, huh?

[pawthorn]

Skalds of the Thane, past and present.

Love the symmetry and dark mirror of these two. Weirdly kinda hope they end up killing each other.

So excited for tomorrow’s finale episode. [Edit: Accidentally made the last episode into two episodes in my head, there’s two more aaaaaa]

[pawthorn]

[ID: Two images of Eursulon from Worlds Beyond Number. One image depicts Eursulon as an adult, turned away from the viewer, wearing his human glamour. The other is a young Eursulon in his true form, back to back with the first, looking at the viewer while wearing his pauldron and holding Wavebreaker. End ID]

… and the Wild One.

[pawthorn]

[ID: Two images of Ame from Worlds Beyond Number. One image depicts Ame as an adult, turned away from the viewer, wearing her witch hat. The other is a young Ame is back to back with the first, looking at the viewer with a timid smile as she clutches three friendship bracelets. End ID]

The Witch…

[pawthorn]

[ID: A digital painting of Fearne Calloway and Nana Morrigan from Critical Role campaign 3. Feanre is bounding to Morrigan, looking up to touch her face with one hand as she drops her staff with the other. Fearne’s features are more fey and elongated than normal. Morrigan smiles as she holds Fearne with one arm while lifting her clothes to reveal her belly with the other. A face on the belly smiles an open-mouthed grin. Gnarled roots abd vines surround them, and a string of lanterns hang above. End ID]

Fatesticher, Keeper of Ligament Manor, Mixologist…

Good to meet you, Nana Morri.

[ID: Close-up of the above art. End ID]

[pawthorn]

[ID: A black and white digital drawing of Trisana Chandler, from Tamora Pierce’s Circle of Magic series. She is shown in profile from the chest up with an intense, scowling expression. Lightning sparks around a braid by her face. End ID]

Another of my favorite characters, Tris from Circle of Magic.

I don’t think I can fully articulate how much this powerful, moody, self-sufficient, book-loving, sharp-tongued character meant to me, growing up. She never changed to be more palatable, just gained control of her temper enough that she wouldn’t hurt the people she cared about. I love her.

[pawthorn]

[ID: Three digital illustrations of the PCs from Worlds Beyond Number, The Wizard, the Witch, and the Wild One. The illustrations are side by side on a dark blue ground. The first shows two images of Suvirin Kedberiket. One image depicts Suvi as an adult, turned away from the viewer, glass staff in hand. The other is a young Suvi is back to back with the first, looking at the viewer worriedly as she clutches a blue cloak. The second shows two images of Ame. One image depicts Ame as an adult, turned away from the viewer, wearing her witch hat. The other is a young Ame is back to back with the first, looking at the viewer with a timid smile as she clutches three friendship bracelets. The third shows two images of Eursulon. One image depicts Eursulon as an adult, turned away from the viewer, wearing his human glamour. The other is a young Eursulon in his true form, back to back with the first, looking at the viewer while wearing his pauldron and holding Wavebreaker. End ID]

The Wizard, the Witch, and the Wild One, then and now.

[pawthorn]

[ID: A digital illustration of Bell’s Hells, from Critical Role, Campaign 3. Imogen Temult, Laudna, Orym, Feanre Calloway, FCG, Ashton Greymoore, and Chetney Pock O’Pea are on the deck of the skyship The Silver Sun. They are each standing or sitting or leaning against the rail, all with faces turned in the direction they are traveling. They are all partly shadowed, illuminated only by the bright colored ribbons of multi-colored lights that hang in the sky all around, like psychedelic auroras. / End ID]

No Bell’s Hells today, and what will next week hold? An ending? A beginning?

Whatever it is, hold on tight, cause it’s coming fast…

[pawthorn]

[ID: Digital line art of Caduceus Clay from Critical Role, campaign two. He is in the dark on the ship, the Balleater, staff alight. Sleeping forms of the rest of the Mighty Nein are in the room around him. The moon is visible through the window, and light spills in across the single bed and the floor. Across the cabin is Caduceus’ Guardian of Faith, a hulking, ethereal figure formed of roots, vines and other natural materials, with a giant crystal head. The ground is navy blue, the linework is tints of magenta, very light green, and white./ End ID]

Here’s my first piece for @artists-guild-of-exandria #SpellsnStuff project, Caduceus Clay and his Guardian of Faith! Check out the project hashtag for more awesome CR art.
