Traci Shepard @tashepard@witches.town

Hello Mastodon. I'm an illustrator with a focus on animals and monsters from folklore, and I just restarted my art blog on that same subject. Today was the first post in over a year but if you're new there's over 400 entries in the archive to check out.

My day job is killing me and living and transition expenses are piling up so I'm going to try and have a go at making a living off this art stuff, so have the standard Patreon link
https://www.patreon.com/tashepard and a Twitch stream for drawing (and some WoW) https://www.twitch.tv/tashepard/dashboard

Okay, WoW stream going up in a couple minutes

2018 mood

I am torn between this being the most impressive Lego sculpture I have ever seen and the mythology nerd part of me being bugged by its extra head http://ignigeno.tumblr.com/post/170588380859/the-chimera-i-designed-for-our-new-lego-show-i

I forgot I was looking up bike parts and momentarily alarmed as to why I had a tab opened called "Measuring crank size??"

Not the first time I've made this joke, guarantee it won't be the last.

Me, looking at you https://witches.town/media/gQ9_Rfj-sXZ-a_iUe6s

Going to be rolling a Void Elf for the stream tomorrow, since its the only Allied Race I really don't have a set plan for, figured she could be my stream-baby. Let the viewers, if there are any, decide stuff like class and professions, which zones to head to, etc.

Thought one of those self-imposed challenges would be fun, Iron Man, Pacifist, the like, but no rule set is jumping out at me. (And I know people stream Pacifist runs all the time but for me it'd feel like I was biting Raandyy's style).

SkiFree yeti was the original Slenderman

Me watching the Winter Olympics: Man the graphics on SkiFree have come a long way

Tentative plans tomorrow are inaugural gaming stream in the morning and art stream in the evening.

Probably about an hour or so each. Don't know what I'll be drawing yet, so open to suggestions either on here or live on the stream.

At a certain point, a car gets so old and broken its not worth the cost to repair it anymore, just junk it and invest what you would have spent fixing it towards a new one that won't break down on you all the time.

We're not in a situation we can fix. We need to tear down and rebuild.

We're not going to affect change by appealing to the consciences of the people currently in power, we need to remove them entirely and get in new people motivated to do the work, conservative and liberal voices alike.

Good night, Mastodon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAQSZhazYk8

I've leveled every profession to cap except for Blacksmithing and I think at this point the only one worth a damn is Tailoring, pretty much only because she keeps all my alts well-stocked in bags.

Enchanting and Jewelcrafting can come in handy too but both really aggravating (and/or expensive) to level. Inscription is fun but not especially useful.

'Cause I spent so much time working professions on the Alliance side, my Horde alts are pretty much just gonna be gatherers. Big plan is to make enough gold off them selling mats to pay for my subscription while the Alliance side keeps storing reserves to get me that 2mil g spider mount eventually.

The GOP are usually the first to say it's too soon to politicize a mass shooting, but they sure immediately jumped on using this one as a platform to call for ousting the FBI director.

The Polygon Olympics special involves a lot more necromancy than I anticipated.

I'm pro-Valentines-Day but anti-Luvdisc so I am torn rn
