my bestie visited this week and we had so much fun 😭🧡 the whole time we were talking about diego and all his boyfriends (and dinokat too but like. yaoi brain was strong) and taking him downtown to explore and take cute pictures LOL.. i don't want my vacation to end, it was such a wonderful time

to try and help cover some of the upcoming bills (why do i pay extra for the "better" insurance plan if they still only cover less than half the costs???) if u aren't in the market for a comm, please consider sharing (or tipping, if u can); money stays really bad for me. ko-fi.com/highdef_arts...

these are screenshots from my tumblr, BUT, for a quick reference before i get a nicer post up on here for diegotober, this is what i've completed so far/what i have planned 🤭 if anything strikes your fancy: archiveofourown.org/works/715655... #diegobrando #steelballrun #dinopants #diegyjo #jjba

Pretty maid #diegobrando #steelballrun

oh my gawd i keep forgetting abt this damn platform.. the older i get the worse i am at being active on more than one social media.... tumblr will always be my true home..

tested all new brushes for this one 🥰 #diegobrando #jjba #art #steelballrun

me when i draw my beloved princess for the first time in weeks and realize i haven't forgotten how 🥳😍🙏 plus i gave him a new tattoo LOL #diegobrando #jjba

If y'all have dinopants friends who want angsty fic please send this their way, I don't have social media other than here and tumblr so it's hard to spread my writing around these days 😭 I feel very defeated

sometimes i kinda hate that i was such a well-known creator in my previous fandom bc now that i'm creating for a character that is not very popular it feels like living on a deserted island where i'm talking to myself 😭 granted, that can be fun, but it gets to a point......

my newest #dinopants fic is complete! this one took months to work on but i'm so happy with the result 🧡 nothing beats a writer's block like shoving the original otp into an angsty situation 🤭 #diegobrando #steelballrun #hotpantsjjba archiveofourown.org/works/69815986

since it’s my headcanon bday for diego i broke my art hiatus and drew something for him 🥲🧡 words can’t really express how important this guy is to me so I hope it shines through in all my art #diegobrando #jjba #steelballrun #sbr

today is my headcanon for diego’s birthday 🥰🎉 so ofc i will be celebrating accordingly #diegobrando #jjba

here's a lil closeup of a diego before i pass out for the night 😴 #diegobrando #jjba #steelballrun

quite possibly the funniest sims screenshot i've gotten in a while. this is johnny commenting on diego's porn account

my full piece from Joestar Rangers, a wild west JJBA zine 🏇 leftover sales are now open if you didn’t get a copy the first time around! joestarrangers.bigcartel.com #diegobrando #johnnyjoestar #steelballrun #jjba #diejoni

ummm .. #dinopants .. to me anyways

more sim diego.. and a bonus dinokat one.. #diegobrando

modern diego from this june; i keep giving him more tattoos, i can’t help it 🤭 #diegobrando #jjba #sbr #steelballrun

my diego brando sim was reborn today.. i missed him so much

the last of my diego week pieces, this one is for the “free day” prompt and it’s most special to me bc it was a collab with my bestie 💖 we often talk abt dressing my modern diego in cute little outfits and doing his makeup 🤭💅🎀 #diegobrando #sbr #steelballrun #jjba

just realized my headcanon for diego's bday is less than a month away 🫥 H O W is it already almost august... more importantly WHAT am i going to draw for my beloved.. maybe this year i'll remember to order a cake instead of having to cobble one together on my own LOL

i have a dinopants fic im DYING to finish writing but i realized after one of my recent writing sprees that i skipped over a bullet in my outline and now i've been trying to get it worked back into what i've already done so i'm like 🤔🫠😵 even though it should NOT be that difficult to fix LOL

Idk I'm kinda obsessed with them hehe #SteelBallRun #JJBAPart7 #DiegoBrando #HotPantsJJBA #JJBAfanart

i wanted to post more art in the last week but real life kept me very distracted, might have good work news soon-ish (but im not getting my hopes up TOO high) so i'm kind zeroed in on my job atm 😵‍💫 was really hoping to get something written this weekend but it's been hard to focus..

another one for diego week, this was for the “fashion” prompt. i wanted to draw my modern diego in an outfit from a 90s ralph lauren ad 🏇 #diegobrando #steelballrun #sbr #jjba

based on an oil painting called "Crown of Field Flowers" by Hogues Merle, this was for the “mother” prompt during diego week 🌼 might be my personal favorite of the week #diegobrando #steelballrun #sbr #jjba

another diego week piece from last month, this was for the “teeth/claws” prompt 🦖 i was more experimental with this one and it ended up being one of my faves of the week! #diegobrando #jjba #steelballrun #sbr

For international non-binary day, consider donating to my kofi (or cashapp) or reposting, so I can pay my bills 🙏

also for diego week on tumblr last month, this was for the “otp” prompt 🤭 im a multishipper, i ship diego with a wide array of characters, but at the end of the day is there anyone he loves more than himself? i think not LOL #diegobrando #jjba #sbr #steelballrun

没画完 #sbr #fanart #diegobrando #JohnnyJoestar

for the “animal friends” prompt for diego week over on tumblr last month 🧡 i always imagine he felt most at peace when he was around his non-human companions 😌 #diegobrando #steelballrun #jjba #sbr

sorry I dropped off the face of the internet for like a month 😵‍💫 I am okay, had a very bad mental health drop and im still struggling with my ability to socialize with people and let my guard down, but overall im okay. I had to stick solely to using tumblr for a bit, which helped

i really can't handle another year of loneliness like this. it feels like i need to scream for help but it also feels like i'm invisible to everyone around me. i just don't know how much more i can realistically handle, i think i might be fully ready to end it

wasn't sure if this was supposed to be solo f/o or not so i included both 😳 for yumeship art: oct 2022 vs may 2025, for diego solo: may 2022 vs may 2025 🧡 i love my shnookums.. #diegobrando #yumeship

i've gotten so used to being inactive that i think i forgot how to interact with people online or "sustain an audience" or whatever but 💀 i have been working on stuff; i've got 5 sketches done for diego week, they just need to be rendered which i think i can hopefully handle within a month's time

today is my 3 year anniversary of shipping with my herpetologist king 🧡🥰 happy dinokat day 2 meeee #diegobrando #yumeship #selfship #art

brando boobs 🥰 #diegobrando #jjba #steelballrun #art #sbr

100%! Capitalism and art school absolutely created this culture of your peers being your competition rather than your collaborators. There’s room for all of us to tell our stories!

april is a difficult month for me.. it’s the anniversary of my dad’s passing (14 years ago but i miss him more and more every year), i tend to experience loss of some kind, & this year my mom sold my childhood home as well as my grandparents home (which i was supposed to inherit, but that fell thru)

very offline rn, going through some difficult personal stuff, but i try to make time to draw my babygirl when i can 🧡 he’s still my favorite way to cope lol #diegobrando #jjbafanart #steelballrun #jjba #sbr #art

being 30+ is great cuz now anything fandom drama happens I can go "I'm too old for this" and anyone caught up in the drama will see im 30+ and assume I'm like 1 foot in the grave already cuz 99% of fandom drama is teenagers duking it out over dumb shit and they think being 30+ is old

Weird Science! 🦖 #jojosbizarreadventure #jjba #steedballrun #diegobrando #drferdinand

STEEL BALL RUN HYPPPEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!! This was supposed to be a colored sketch ONLY but I liked the coloring too much so I cleaned it up a bit and called it a day #jojo #jjba #steelballrun #jjbasteelballrun #diegobrando
