a photo of a black square plate, matte finish and wood grain texture, holding a roughly torn section of baguette, a hastily sectioned wedge of brie, and a whole apple. a pale hand holds the place over a white desk, and a desk mat made to look like those classic rugs for kids with roads and towns on them. a drawing tablet and various desk trinkets can be seen in the background.
a black and white comic page shaded with screen tones, showing the artist in a steam-filled bathroom, taking a bath, and admiring the bubbles in their hands, scars from gender-affirming top surgery also visible. In three boxes, the text reads, "Right now, my government is out there, doing everything they can to dehumanize trans people." "But here I am, in a bubble bath, playing with bubbles-" "...what could be more human than that?"
A hand with a rainbow watch strap holding the graphic novel 'They Called Us Enemy' by George Takei.
a pencil drawing on printer paper of an "edgy"-lookin spiky haired anime boy in the foreground, with headphones around his neck and a yin-yang upper arm tattoo, and a girl standing in the background with the classic emo girl asymmetrical hair cut, all pulled over one eye, in a plaid skirt and converse clutching a book- truly the epitome of a 6th-grade masterpiece, ridden with pre-teen angst and not an anatomically correct feature in sight
the cover of the collected edition of Jeff's Smith's "BONE"
a screenshot of the artist's Clip Studio Paint interface as they're working on a facing-forward, shoulders up portrait of Astarion from BG3, digitlally painted and rendered in a way that mimics the look of a photo taken at night with the camera flash on, his red eyes lit up with whited-out pupils, with the highest points of light leaning pink, and the darkest values taking a green/blue hue, fading into black. The look on his face is dangerous, making eye contact with the viewer, lips curled into a smirk that does not reach his eyes.
detail shot in the form of a screenshot within the program Clip Studio Paint
a digital artwork depicting Astarion from Baldur's Gate 3, in a pose as if resting a forearm on a table, and the other elbow also resting on the table, hand cradling his face. He has a dark shirt with laces across the low neckline, and blood smeared on the corner of his mouth, the back of his hand, forearm, and knuckles. He's looking slyly and perhaps sultrily to the side, possibly eyeing a (literal or figurative) snack. The piece is made to resemble a mixed media traditional artwork, mimicking the textures of watercolor painting and colored pencil. Around Astarion's head is a collection of sketchy, pencil-textured doodles of sparkles, and behind his head is a slightly faded but golden image of the scars on his back, serving as a bit of an iconographic halo.
an ipad propped up on a table, with a keyboard off to the left side; screen is split, about 1/4 of the screen showing a Baldur's Gate 3 screenshot of the character Astarion on pinterest for reference, and the other 3/4 of the screen showing the art program Clip Studio Paint, and the sketch done from the reference, which in comparison is more stylized, the pose more relaxed and natural, and a bit sassier too.
Propped up on a chair, a brightly primary-colored backpack with large areas of red, yellow, blue, and green; on the backpack is a matching Blue's Clues acrylic keychain (made by OP!) , a blue and green mini magnetic sketching board keychain, and a primary colored cassette tape player themed with Miffy the bunny, beside a tape case of the album "Tea For The Tillerman", which is precisely the blue that matches everything else.
A photo of mug of coffee behind a small wooden bowl containing two decorated sugar cookies: one tree, and one white duck. The mug displays a quote from Brennan Lee Mulligan on Dropout's 'GameChanger', and behind the mug a velvety golden dice bag in a wooden dice tray can be seen
a sugar cookie, shaped like a 20-sided die, frosted with marbled shimmery orange and teal, made to resemble the cover art of the D&D podcast "Worlds Beyond Number". The edges of the d20 are outlined in slightly wobbly white frosting, and there's a white '20' on the center surface.
a screenshot of a procreate canvas, showing four loose portrait study sketches of Astarion from Baldur's Gate 3, done as likeness practice (the two largest were done with reference, and the two smaller ones were done without)
A hand holding a blue 2007 iPod nano, playing Hank Green's "What Would Captain Picard Do?" from his 'So Jokes' album.
a close-up photo of a hand holding a set of dice that are swirled coppery orange and teal, closely resembling the colors in the cover art for the Worlds Beyond Number podcast!
