One of the Cheshire cats from April :) I always liked how this combo of red and blue scanned. Gives the paint a weird glow on the screen.

I've answered these before, but want to redo it as some time has passed! I'll answer them gradually over the upcoming days. 💙

1. Do you prefer traditional or digital? I used to prefer digital but for the past 8-ish years, I’ve worked almost entirely traditionally and really prefer that! Digital art became too tough on my eyes + I tend to get overwhelmed with options too. Plus I love the challenge and stress of watercolor~

Alt text is not the same as a photo caption. Captions are typically written to support a photo, and usually depend on users being able to see the photo. But alt text is meant to be the stand-in for the photo. The alt text is what a screen reader user gets in place of the photo.

Fiiiinally got this illustration of Hades and Persephone finished up! I'm not 100% happy with it, it needed more digital touch-ups than I would have liked, but I like a lot of the overall mood and color. 😊

Artists! Quote this post with something watery.

Disabled people shouldn’t have to beg for healthcare, housing and food. They shouldn’t have to “prove they matter” to access services needed to survive. They shouldn’t have to explain their disability to every single person who asks. Disability is a minority group you can join any time.

When considering rainbow text, don't forget to consider readability and legibility. Text filled with rainbows can be difficult to read. Same with complex rainbow backgrounds. Putting each word or letter in a different color of the rainbow could force readers to work harder.

It's a traditional animal painting kind of weekend! I haven't had the right stars align to oil paint, but finally returned to this and made some good progress. Still working thinly for now. #WIP

finished is better than perfect. a perfect drawing you never make and never post is a hypothetical. make something messy and share it with the world. you cannot say it to yourself enough because it is a lifelong battle. finished is better than perfect.

Iiiiiiii need to make rent so while there's never a bad time to comm me, now's a really good time (especially since I'm getting through my backlog from the Bad Months and can work a bit faster!!!!!!)

Writing wise, I'm more motivated to finish up an essay WIP and start a new book than fanfic. BUT—the writing bug has bitten me to finish my Dimilix necromancy + pregnancy body horror fic, so I think I'll be picking that back up this upcoming week. I only have the final (big) scene.

Mixed media painting of Sussex Street, Cambridge. This is quite a favourite location. I've been reminded of this one by scrolling through my albums on Flickr. I've got no idea where I've stored the original: haven't seen it on any of my sort throughs recently.

I combined #goldenweek and #mermay to give you Mermaid Maisie!!!! ☆*･゜ﾟ･(^O^)/･゜ﾟ･*☆ ngl I cooked with the shading #artistsonbluesky #originalcharacter #ocsky #mermaid

Don't skip the preliminary stage and expect the painting to come easy. I need a road map and not planning my paintings before starting almost always leads to some form of frustration and indecision. Solve the problems first, then paint.

Some tips on allyship, regardless of group: -Accept fallibility -Do not center your own guilt -Do not treat individuals as representatives of their entire community -Know when your voice is not needed -You are not entitled to trust or forgiveness; fight because it’s right, not to feel better.
