This is Antyriël, #demon protagonist of a #horror #fantasy story I'm writing, parts of which will feature on the next release of my metal project Opaque Mass.
I've had her appearance in my head for years and decided to finally ask an #artist to visualize her based on my - elaborate - description. The style suits the character. Looking forward to continuing the story & giving out more commissions for other takes.

So I've been on Mastodon for a wee bit, for all the new folks here's an #introduction: I'm an #agile #java lead developer, and dabble in #quantumtechnology.
I released a solo #deathmetal album last year on #bandcamp (http://opaquemass.nl/) and I'm looking for #art to feature on my next #dutch #blackmetal album and for a #fantasy #horror book I'm writing on the same subject.
Big #overwatch and #starcraft gamer. Also into #pathfinder and #DnD.
Still finding my way in this marvelous fediverse
Is it just me or is the #certificate of the #ActivityPub #testsuite on https://activitypub.rocks invalid? @ActivityPubTester
Okay, Day 3 - #DnD #Antagonists / #Villains week...
WARNING! Phobia/Sensitivity alert! Eyes/multiple eyes/spider forms/& tiny hands.
These I call my "Xanthic Spider-Goblins".
I wanted something with a slightly creepier flavour than a regular #goblins, but something that had similar abilities, & added to them a Brood Elder figure that was based on a #Hag / #Troll.

*I can't seem to figure out how to blur just 2 out of the 4 images.
Finished the Xenodragon from Dungeons and Lasers! Kept it simple with color shift paints but I'm really pleased with her!

Okay so day 2 of an impromptu* #DnD #antagonists / #villains week, & following yesterday's #Troll, today we have WIP/sketch paintings of:
1 - Some sort of mutated spider-#troll-giant (used as a vehicle by cultists?).
2 - A multi-eyed storm giant #monstrosity.
3 - A #Cyclops with a goblin warrior/archer carriage/howdah on its back)
&
4 - A #magic fuelled stomach-mouthed chaos #giant with floating mask & multiple floating eyes.
*i.e. ...made up on the spot as I wrote yesterday's post.
#TtRPG #5e
When #artists draw #DnD monsters that apparently have some notion of civilization because they wear jewelry, clothing or armour, I always imagine what their morning routine is. Like: does that 10" drooling spidermammoth check whether that shoulderplate is on safely and comfortably? Does that 6-armed half-orc lich priest worry and check in the mirror whether their ear ornaments match the gold on their belt and bracers, lest their peers will frown on their appearance and gossip? #TtRPG

Reminder that a 'data #analytics team' demanding to send them 'all #data' that in any shape goes through your #domain is not, by any standard, a reasonable request.
NASA if they played their cards right could likely have done all this on a similar budget to what they actually got.
The key to all this? Setting near-term, inspiring, affordable goals while leveraging and evolving the hardware you already have to the greatest extent feasible.

INPRNT has free shipping this weekend! (As usual If you'd like me to stick up any of my pieces that aren't there you can let me know)
If I'm going to give my #developer colleagues an introduction talk about the #fediverse, what should I definitely mention? They're into #java, #kotlin, #cloud and #DDD
The talk by #urspeter at #kotlindevday on 10 commandments for how to use #kotlin has been enlightening! https://kotlindevday.com/
