Blue Bower
Oil, 12 x16 inches
The auction for this painting is live on @everydayorig !

Lucky are we to find ourselves nestled in such a comfortable nook of the cosmos. We have evolved, of course, to fit this planet like a glove. Yet for that evolution to take place, a multitude of serendipitous circumstances were necessary. It is possible we owe a debt to the vastness of our universe, which has created such statistical possibilities. From our planet’s protective magnetosphere and temperature, balanced in the range of liquid water, to our Sun’s stable size and Jupiter’s gravitational deflection of hazardous debris, we are privileged to occupy so tufted a nest. It may be the only soft spot such fragile and short-lived biological creatures as we, will ever be capable of reaching – a precious thing, this beautiful blue bower.

I have found my new passion in life and it’s making stupid DnD items:

Potion of Fire-breathing: lets you breathe fire like water-breathing potions let you breathe underwater. Does not protect from burning, however, so best to keep this one on the shelf.

Fresh Ink: this ink will enable a user with bardic training to write the tightest, coolest, freshest verses known to man. Unfortunately, the ink will also never dry—making terrible smudging hopelessly inevitable.

The Two-Faced Coin: a talking golden coin. Both faces depict a head that can predict the future and answer “yes” or “no” questions. One speaks only the truth and one speaks only lies, and it is nearly impossible to tell which is which.

The Amulet of No Return: when placed on a dead body, this tarnished silver amulet prevents the target from becoming undead. Strangely, if worn by a living body, the wearer cannot move backwards or be moved backward.

The Scroll of Reverse Lycanthropy: can only be used on wolves. When activated, the scroll will curse the target to turn into a human being during every new moon. The target gains all the traits of a standard human, but will not remember anything about the transformation after the night ends.

T-leaves: fortune-telling tea leaves that always, inexplicably, spell out the letter “t.” Make of that what you will.

The Messenger Stone: this smooth rock can be used as a method of long-distance communication with any target in a one-mile radius. Simply write your message down on a piece of parchment, attach it to the stone with string, and hurl it as hard as you can. Make a ranged weapon attack against the AC of your target. On a failure, the stone falls to the ground. On a success, it travels the full distance to its destination. Your target takes 2d6 bludgeoning damage (doubled on a crit), and receives your message.

Uses for the Messenger Stone:

Party member, calling to enemy: “Lower your shield, I need to tell you something!”

*Enemy lowers shield. Is immediately hit in the face with a rock.*

Message tied to rock: “Bitch.”

this is some next level aesthetic

Oh my gosh. I have no words for the feeling the top one just invoked in me. Like. I wanna crawl inside it. The colour bar tastes like Safe. The spray can brush smells like HOURS OF FUN.

Or, like, it’s the feeling of reading a book I loved age eight, only I haven’t seen Paintbrush since that age, whereas the re-reads I at least re-read in my teens.
