Okay, this is the most egregious abuse of the phrase "early access" that I've made in... probably like 2 years, so I just want to give y'all some insight!
This week's video (going up in about an hour) is about mistakes that DMs make while worldbuilding. This is one of those videos that spiraled out of control and just got longer and longer as I worked on it, and last night at 6pm when we ...

HELLO FRIENDS, hope you can join me in about 15 minutes for a productivity stream! I'll be working quietly on emails and video scripting, playing lofi or a cool soundscape, and we can check in with each other to stay on task for a few hours.

well THIS turned out to be a total monster of a video, and I wish I had more time to fiddle with audio levels and music and titles, but... ALAS. The weekly YouTube treadmill stops for no one! Here's me as all three female characters from Critical Role campaign 3.

Just finished shooting the Fearne portion of my makeup test video!! I got some great stills of her, but I'm prioritizing the video edit, so those will likely go up next week.
For the hand, I bought a pair of sheer mesh elbow-length gloves (they're basically tights for your arms — I genuinely have no idea what normal purpose they are made for, haha), painted it with acrylic paint, formed...

Had a busy day being my own girlfriend 😇 I filmed makeup tests today for Imogen and Laudna from Campaign 3 of Critical Role! Tomorrow I'll film Fearne as well.
I'm kind of kicking myself because I got some great stills as Imogen, but due to the immediate "oh god, get it off me" feeling of that goopy black ichor, I completely forgot to get any still photos of Laudna other than these sel...

This week's video is all about Inspiration and why I think it's a useful feature that too many DMs are leaving on the table! (Plus, it includes the THRILLING CONCLUSION to poor Francis Summerpike's arc!)

As you can see, I went all kinds of wacky directions with the dimensions this year. Some of the images felt better suited to square or landscape des...

Anyway! This video is all about how to identify if a house rule is right for...

Come join me in about 40 minutes for a productivity stream! For those of you who haven't been to one of these before, here's how it works:
I've been feeling like my D&D combat is kinda boring, so... I did a ton of research, and put it all together into this video! (I also experimented with some new title cards and styles, which I really like!!)

Y'ALL!! I could NOT believe my ears when Blake sent me the final file for our "Daughter of the Sea" Patron choir project. You all went SO hard, and you can hear it in the finished product!! I've made this post public so that you can share your amazing work, which you should be SO proud of.
Thank you all so much for singing & playing with me!!
It was Locked Tomb shoot day!! This was my first time doing Harrow’s sacramental paint and I am honestly stunned that it came out so well 😅 (Swipe to the end to see a very cursed accidental selfie!)
I finished up painting my bone armor just about an hour before the shoot (and also forgot that the cape would cover the entire back, haha!) It was a chaotic day and we definitely didn’t...

AT LAST!!! I am here to show you some previews of pin-ups from the 2022 calendar!! Here's Mariska, Clio, and Morelia.
I thought it would be fun to show you the comparison between my test shots out of costume and the final shots in costume. These shots are usually to make sure lighting and framing is working! That way, by the time I'm fully in-costume and made up, all I have to do is sit d...

Hey folks! This is an update for those of you who are receiving free decks from the Library of Witticisms.
I know it's been a bit since I updated y'all on this, and that's mostly just because the process of printing and manufacturing has been slow and not very newsworthy! But now they're finally moving towards shipping and since I collected your addresses back in the spring, I wanted to l...

Hey all! Working hard on the pin-up shoots (STILL!) and just wanted to share some fun behind-the-scenes shots from some of the looks we've shot! Most of these are either mistakes or lighting tests (but the Augury one is a MOOD, tbh.)
Hoping to be able to start sharing finished pin-ups with you soon!

I was originally planning on releasing this later in the month, but the song processed on streaming platforms was faster than I expected, so the music video is actually coming out TOMORROW!
