Ranger vibes!

Chugging along on pin-up shots for the calendar! Here’s my autumnal wood elf ranger 🍁

Tomorrow I tackle bard, wizard, and maybe sorcerer!

Barbarian selfies!

Thanks to everyone who hung out with me for 4.5 hours tonight (!!!) to shoot this look! I’m really happy with how it came out, thanks in no small part to the feedback and encouragement I got from you guys on stream! 💚

Come hang out while I shoot a pin-up!

I'm shooting my Barbarian pin-up tonight! I'm doing it alone and I have to do bodypaint, set-up, and the shoot, so it's gonna be a long night. Come keep me company and see how it all happens! (If you missed it, you can watch it back at this same link!)

The first pin-up preview!

Just wanted to share one of the pin-ups from the upcoming 2021 TTRPG-themed calendar! This is the rogue (yes, it's Augury in a skirt... I had to make sure that makeup did double duty!!)

The green backdrop is just a contrast placeholder — I deliver each pin-up to my graphic designer, Jackie, fully cut-out and ready for layouts. She'll make the aesthetic calls on the color and textures of...

Cleric & DM

As of right now I've shot 4/13 pin-ups for the 2021 calendar, plus the centerfold poster image! I'm behind my intended schedule (naturally!!) but chugging along nonetheless. I'll be ready to start sharing previews of the pin-ups themselves pretty soon!

Patron Spotlight: Chris Horii!

For this month’s Patron Spotlight, we get to learn more about makers and Mandos and armor, oh my! I’m delighted to introduce Chris Horii, a.k.a Korium9 online. A lifelong geek in his own words, Chris journeyed from graphic design major to cosplay photographer to lightsaber choreographer and Mandalorian Merc.

Chris only started cosplaying in 2014 but quickly found a home. “Most of my...

Annual Patron Survey!

HEY FRIENDS! I'm working on some updates to my Patreon for 2021 and I thought it would be a good time to get some feedback from y'all about what you're enjoying, what you think is lacking, and how we can best move forward and make this community the most rewarding that it can be!

This survey should only take 5 or 10 minutes to fill out, and you'd be doing me a huge favor to help me contin...

POV: The villain interviews you for a job

This week's video is the second in my new POV roleplaying series! In this one, a tiefling businesswoman named Augury interviews your character for a position on her personal guard. Hope you like it!

Just some portraits of Augury!

I did a little Photoshop cleanup around the horns, but this is mostly untouched! The red paint just goes on unbelievably easier than blue does, haha. Anyway, editing her POV video today — stay tuned for that this week!!

Cinematic Lighting: Before & After

When I put together my set for this month's POV video, at first I lit it the way I light my normal video content — even, flat lighting, mostly just designed to be bright and flattering. But it didn't feel right for this scene, which was supposed to be a villain's office. Instead, I took some cues from a more cinematic school of lighting: I moved the key light to the side, eliminated the fill ...

Augury - first look!

I shot my next POV video today! Here’s a sneak peek at the character for this one: Augury, a tiefling sorcerer who runs a smuggling ring.

Gelatinous Cutie shoot

Here's the first set of pictures! This video comes out today, so make sure to watch it on YouTube and give it a comment or a thumbs up or a share or ALL THREE!

I made a gelatinous cube dress!

This was a monster video in more ways than one!! 😜 It was a really ambitious idea, and I wanted to make sure I did it justice. Fingers crossed that it does well, because PHEW I put so much time and sweat into this one!!

Patron Spotlight: Xena Zeit-Geist!

♥ // I'm highlighting a Patron every month! Learn more and sign up here.

I have to be honest, I’m fangirling pretty hard for this month’s Patron Spotlight. Xena Zeit-Geist is a cosplayer, actor, burlesque performer/producer, and all-around badass. I had the opportunity to catc...

She’s DONE!

I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to get everything shot today or not, but the productivity gods were on my side and I got the Gelatinous Cutie finished and shot!! It was a grueling 14-hour day, but now I get to lounge around tomorrow in pajamas and just focus on editing. Official photos coming soon!!

Cube progress: day one!

This whole costume has to be done & shot by Monday at the latest, so I spent all day making the tiny inclusions (popsicle sticks, foam, and modeling clay) and putting together the skirt! The skirt was definitely a big test — I haven’t worked with this type of material before, and I wasn’t 100% sure everything would look how I was imagining it once it was all put together. Now that the...

September Wallpapers

Hey friends! September's wallpapers include a bunch of Aisling, and one of each of the new D&D aesthetics. Hope you like them!!

Gelatinous Cutie: Sketch!

Drew up a little concept art for my Gelatinous Cube dress! I'm making the whole dress for next week's video, so you'll have progress updates all weekend and finished images early next week!

Very serious Aisling

some very serious portraits of a very serious elven warlock druid

Paladin Prep!

Here's the last of the stills from the D&D Aesthetics video! Here's Paladin Prep, which apparently "looks more like a cleric," "should've been a power suit or something," and "makes [commenter] angry for some reason, although that's probably something [he] should discuss with [his] therapist."

Come be productive with me!!

It's been way too long since we've had a productivity stream!! To celebrate SPOOKY SEASON, let's spend a few hours working quietly together. It will be spooky because maybe there's also a ghost, also working quietly. Come join us in the chat on YouTube!

D&D Aesthetics: The Revenge of the Aesthetic

Me, finishing a video at 1am the day it's supposed to go live? It's more likely than you think.

Aisling shoot!

sorry, I am out of interesting captions. HERE THEY ARE. THE PHOTOS

Rangercore!

Here are the Rangercore stills from  this week's video!! I borrowed my friend's dog Finley for this shoot, the most precious and perfect princess in the world. She was so well-behaved and made an amazing model!! I made the shirt with my mom's Cricut, and for the hat, I designed the patch in Photoshop, had it digitized, and then created it with my mom's embroidery machine.

Bardcore!

Here are the stills from this week's upcoming D&D Class Aesthetics video — "Bardcore," a hardcore bard look! I made this "Mithril Maiden" shirt with my mom's Cricut machine (thanks for the pun idea, James!!) and unearthed Josh's guitar, which has sat in storage untouched for... almost the entire length of our nine year relationship, haha!
