It is so important to me as a person that I strive to always be, in this order, 1. Helpful and 2. Goofy. If helpful is not possible in a given situation, goofy is the next option. All this to say due to work commitments I could not this year make my mum breakfast in bed for her birthday like I usually would, but I Did manage to put together a parody IKEA manual for flat-pack toast and coffee (some assembly required)

dp x dc prompt #55
After 14 separate grease fires, 12 minor knife fights, several layers deep messes, and 4 unidentifiable cooking attempts, Alfred finally gets fed up with the bat kids(excepting Jason, of course) messing up his kitchen attempting to cook. No matter how many times he tries to get them to stay out, they always seem to find their way back into the kitchen and a mess not far behind. If he can’t keep them out, the very least he can do is attempt to get them to learn how to cook. Maybe a culinary class would do them good.
Danny was finally living the good life. Mostly. His rogues have settled down, and his parents have stepped back some from ghost hunting after a string of failures(that may or may not be his fault) of actually hunting any ghost. It all started when he let slip that he was planning to move away from Amity Park. Now he’s got an entire checklist of things to work through to be deemed competent enough to be left(mostly) alone. Number one? Lunch Lady is sending him to learn how to cook.
Culinary do x dc adventures, Worst Cooks In America style. There’s going to be so many grease fires, and maybe someone will even actually learn something.
or- are there any heroes that actually know how to cook?

"The Furnace"
"Facing a full set of blackened armour, flames burning from within, and going by the moniker of "The Furnace", people often assume they are dealing with some form of construct. A useful misconception when elementals are generally considered resources and genasi mostly unheard of."
Another older piece, this one originally from 2021 or so.
"The Furnace" is the alias of a fire genasi that I've been playing in an Eberron D&D campaign since early 2021. She was initially designed all the way back in 2019 or 2020 if I recall correctly.
Probably the character I've painted the most over the last few years, so I'll likely be posting more art of her in the future.

50 Million Years of Climate Change with Christina!
Have you ever thought about how dinosaurs lived on a warm, swampy Earth and how we live on one that’s cold enough to keep pretty much the entirety of Greenland and Antarctica buried under kilometers-thick sheets of solid ice and wondered, hmm, how did we get from there to here? The short answer is that it took 50 million years of declining atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and dropping temperatures, not to mention building an ice sheet or two. For the longer story of the last 50 million years of climate change, including some of the reasons why, catch this episode of our podcast with Dr De La Rocha! You’ll hear about plate tectonics and continental drift, silicate weathering, carbonate sedimentation, and the spectacular effects the growth of Earth’s ice sheets have had on Earth’s climate. There are also lessons here for where anthropogenic global warming is going and whether or not its effects have permanently disrupted the climate system. Fun fact: the total amount of climate change between 50 million years ago and now dwarfs what we’re driving by burning fossil fuels, and yet, what we’re doing is more terrifying, in that it’s unfolding millions of times faster.
Bonus content: If you want to see sketches and plots of the data discussed in this episode, you can do so here!
!!Nerd alert!!
If you're interested in the primary scientific literature on the subject, these four papers are a great place to start.

Erador's ref/concept art sheet!
Translation notes:
"'I can rip you apart' sort of look" was actually more of an mimetic or onomatopoetic term that meant "ripping (apart), tearing (apart)", etc. Since there didn't seem to be a great English equivalent I ended up going for a literal sort of meaning.
I kind of have the feeling that the note about conviction parameters on the first page might have been making a joke about how the apprentice character wasn't included because they (the illustrators) didn't have enough conviction points, but I'm not super sure either way.
The ceremonial necklace one is something I'm not really confident on. It said something about ceremony, and something about an arrow/sword/mini-sword, but the specifics were a little hard to get down.

Headshots of the cowboys, I think I’m going to end up redesigning Merrick again because I have a better idea of his story now, but that can wait till I finish a proper render of guts
