Clip Studio Paint, completed 27 July 2026.

Also, for those interested in a look at my process, I’ll be doing a banner art breakdown stream on DoD’s Twitch this Saturday at 8:00 p.m. EDT. Hope to see you then.

As an example of Orwellian anti-Communist allegory, I liked Animal Farm better (to be fair, it has been almost 30 years since I read that). This wasn’t bad, but it could’ve been a short story. Admittedly, in the current state of affairs, certain aspe ...more
