Question out of curiosity: Are ye currently taking commissions at the moment?

hey there! I've got so much going on at the moment, I think taking on even one more commission would kill me. I appreciate you asking though. maybe at some point in the future, but I don't know when

Hey there! I saw your skateboarding knight art again and looked for your society6 account but it seems like it was deleted? It gives me a 404 not found error :(

The art is so cool!

I saw this a few weeks ago and was so upset about it that I forgot to do anything about it. they took down my whole shop, along with tens of thousands of others, and are "going in a different direction" or something. however, my art is still on their site, and people are still buying the shirts somehow, and I can't take them down!! I guess I'm moving back to redbubble or something. sorry about the whole mess. I'm just so tired.

how do you feel about Forskin Dog?

I think every computer user needs to read this because holy fucking shit this is fucking horrible.

So Windows has a new feature incoming called Recall where your computer will first, monitor everything you do with screenshots every couple of seconds and "process that" with an AI.

Hey, errrr, fuck no? This isn't merely because AI is really energy intensive to the point that it causes environmental damage. This is because it's basically surveilling what you are doing on your fucking desktop.

This AI is not going to be on your desktop, like all AI, it's going to be done on another server, "in the cloud" to be precise, so all those data and screenshot? They're going to go off to Microsoft. Microsoft are going to be monitoring what you do on your own computer.

Now of course Microsoft are going to be all "oooh, it's okay, we'll keep your data safe". They won't. Let me just remind you that evidence given over from Facebook has been used to prosecute a mother and daughter for an "illegal abortion", Microsoft will likely do the same.

And before someone goes "durrr, nuthin' to fear, nuthin to hide", let me remind you that you can be doing completely legal and righteous acts and still have the police on your arse. Are you an activist? Don't even need to be a hackivist, you can just be very vocal about something concerning and have the fucking police on your arse. They did this with environmental protesters in the UK. The culture war against transgender people looks likely to be heading in a direction wherein people looking for information on transgender people or help transitioning will be tracked down too. You have plenty to hide from the government, including your opinions and ideas.

Again, look into backing up your shit and switching to Linux Mint or Ubuntu to get away from Microsoft doing this shit.

Hey,I just wanted to let you know that I used Dregs of a Bitter Cup as part of my TTRPG finale playlist yesterday and it made almost all of my players go look up the song itself afterwards. It's really a testament to how good your art is that even your early stuff is distinct and cool enough to stand out like that, and I just thought it would make you happy to know!

aw hell yeah, that's cool! thanks for letting me know!

Yooooo. I remember finding your music work on YouTube years ago and it still hangs out on my music playlist. 💜

aayyyy thanks so much! sorry if it seems like I've completely given up on music. I haven't, there's just a lifetime's worth of crap happening these days and it's hard to find the time or energy.

Here is what a sample material study looks like for me. I try to take notes every time I do an in-depth dive like this, and include the brushes/process used to achieve these results consistently. It's very helpful when you forget how to render a piece of rusty metal for the 100000th time 🙃
