Winterbalg

Thank you! I'm doing well, just had the shift focus to get out of a artblock and change some things up to get on top of everything. :)

This is so nice of you. Thank you very much 💜 Thanks for the kind words that helps alot!

A pride flag with every color band represented by a NASA image. White is Earth clouds, pink is aurora, blue is the Sun in a specific wavelength, brown is Jupiter clouds, black is the Hubble deep field, red is the top of sprites, orange is a Mars crater, yellow is the surface of Io, green is a lake with algae, blue is Neptune, and purple is the Crab Nebula in a specific wavelength.

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖

Um sorry for fallung of off the face of the earth I srsly struggled to get something done and somehow I just can't focus on anthro art rn and it breaks my heart 😭😢

I'm laughing so hard I might rupture an aorta 🤣😂

Hard same! The whole party primarily consists of chars that have a lot of strength, charisma and wisdom but none has any intelligence 🤣 (cleric, pala, monk and fighter) we have to ask a barbarian to make the int checks! 👀

They need to stop sinking money in generative Ai development! Ai could be useful for medical, biological + pharmaceutical advancement but nobody is investing in it because everything is just gen Ai rn. big sign humanity isn't ready for it. Our brains haven't even managed to cope with algorithms yet

they are so beautiful! Please post about your journey 💜 My first character is a purple tiefling lady.

We had no problem beating him, my pala just tanks everything at this point and my SO's monk became a punchmachine after I respecced her to accommodate his playstyle better xD But the game doesn't play fair. Pala has a ring that prevents the shock state and ansur did shock her. That's BS right there.

honestly? It feels alot like it. I understand randomness of a dice based game, I play rl Dnd, I even played dos2 and yet only BG3 flips the switch on me like that. Not sure if salty or true xD

It's one thing when a game ignores the fact that the Character is wearing a Item that prevents them from being shocked. And another when the game crashes instantly after you beat the opponent. Honestly the Ansur fight in BG3 has me very salty rn.

Absolutely! Being trashed by fromsoft Sauron gonna be my highlight 😁

Messmer the Impaler Portrait with snakes, and spear.

They showed the Elden Ring DLC trailer and I was lost. Have Messmer the Impaler. #messmertheimpaler #eldenring #fromsoftware #darkfantasyart #mesmer

The breakdown I had when I just realized even more artists I love are from Germany 😱 (german myself xD) But yeah, it's so very, very German I had a good laugh.

Das ist Meßmer und ja ich hatte bereits meinen Nervenzusammenbruch über die Tatsache das der neue EldenRing Boss so heißt wie mein Lieblings-Industrie Tee 😭🤣

Not a partner studio, it's Tencent. Tencent owns 16,25% of Fromsoft shares. Which is a minority. And Tencent acquired license rights from Bandai Namco, the publisher that was in charge of managing licensing rights. A few weeks ago From bought those rights back from Bandai. Might be From was unhappy

So when tumblr is getting paid to share "its" contents, then tumblr should pay us 8D (it won't so I guess it's gonna die for real this time around)

I'm not afraid that AI can do my job, I'm afraid of the world where we agree that the pisspoor approximation of my job it ~can~ do is all we need

Mayonnaise... this is it. This is the answer.

Okay dicemaker! Messmer dice when?

I'm not equipped ( skillwise) to judge music but it sure is an absolute goosebump inducing experience. The DLC trailer gave me tingles again and instantly x3

Thank you 💜 Last year I was in a very good place with hashimotos when we discovered I have celiac aswell and acted accordingly, but 10 months later: covid. Now it's readjusting meds and hoping to get back to 2 fatigue days per months. I'm back to regular gym visits, that sooo much progress already 😭

I think Elden Ring is once again a very strong example for "Art Direction and Stylistic choices are more important than hyper realistic graphics." Good Art Direction not only supports the story but also the UI, UX and GameDesign as a whole. It's not a gimmick.

Good game devs know that a experienced concept artist is faster (cheaper and needs less energy) than genML and needs less input to produce something you're looking for. And a good director knows that aswell. Producers.... well there's the problem. They just see the shortterm numbers ://

Wait didn't Elmo trash the A/ movements just a few months ago? 😂🤣 That dude is even more pathetic than the genA/ dudes themself.

There is a part of the fandom that embraces A/ shit but those are people that never respected us anyway and always bitched about resonable priced commissions. To hell with them. I mainly do furry commissions and cons these days and it's really nice. Still thinking about giving up tho 😒

Aw thank you! Feel free to poke me whenever you have something in mind and some cash to spare 👍 I'm not taking too many comms these days so I might be able to be spontaneous 😁

In illustration I have about 2 to 3 ugly stages. Those are very coherent with my writing process. 1st draft is ugly stage 1 🤣 and that's fine. First draft is for me, messing around, finding out if something is worth pursuing, similarly to the thumbnail and first sketch stage in illustration.
