I'm still alive. Don't really want to be, but I am. Make of that what you will.
I guess I should post an update, once in a while?
It's been a rough year. Half a year anyway. Well, it's been a rough whole year for the entire world now that I think about it, but let's not go there. The attempt to save my cat from lymphoma was a no-go, but he's still with us thanks to medication that's given him several more good months. Every day is a blessing. Every tomorrow an unknown. It's messed me up quite a bit. Don't want to go into any other family business right now, but it's not helped. Of course, I've always been messed up, but it feels like I just get worse. Getting ADHD diagnosed wasn't the life-turning event I had hoped. Knowing what's wrong with me is helping a lot less than I though. I'm not sure it's helping at all, actually. I lost faith in the future for a while at the end of summer. Tried doing something completely different, left the online sphere, disappeared into the realm of saws and boards and screws for some months. Then attempted coming back and wrecked my hands in the process. Old buddy old pal
2001 - A Watcher Odyssey
I've been obscenely busy for the last couple of days, so I missed the exact moment when I passed 2000 watchers! I wanted to take this time to thank all 2001 of you (yes, the number is now exactly 2001) and as a collective treat to all of you I want to do something special.
For my 1000 watcher special I did a redraw of my old owlosaur art from the pre-Spec era but this time I'd like to let you decide. Should I redraw or repaint an old piece from way back? If so, which one? Or should I instead do something new with you picking the subject?
If you have a suggestion either way, leave me a comment below. If I get enough suggestions I'll try to s
Too much too soon?
Recently I've gotten back to digital painting after a long long hiatus because of my wrist and arm pain. I genuinely thought it was gone after I managed to finish multiple paintings without ill effects. Unfortunately the overuse seems to have caught up with me, and now I'm again dealing with pain and inability to do art, at least for a short while and in the scope that I did for a few joyous weeks. I've got several unfinished paintings I'll have to work on little by little as my hands heal and some other work that will be unveiled elsewhere once it's done, but don't expect to see much more than posting of old work from last year for a little
Regarding Magestone fan-art and canonicity
I have been approached with offers to do creatures for Magestone by several people now. This seems to have all started because my friend form Speculative Dinosaur Project times Boverisuchus (https://www.deviantart.com/boverisuchus) had done some spec-evo D&D critters as Magestone fan-art, and asked me what he should do with them. Now, I have always intended Magestone to remain strictly a personal project, but seeing as he had already put a lot of effort into it and the monsters he had chosen were ones I was unlikely to spend much energy on anyway, I reviewed them and noted which ones could plausibly be part of the Magestone canon, and Tim posted those in his gallery.
