Close up of my baby Lysidias. Finally cooperated and let me draw him today 🥲

May is over >o< I got 44 pieces finished! I mostly spent the month working on refs for some characters so they were easier to work on in the future, but I also did some of the longest projects I've done all year. (20 hours on a single piece? who am I anymore lol) ((Also wrote almost 30k lol))

So drained from being social the last two days. ToT My friend was kind enough to let me draw one of her cutie pies. >o< Character belongs to Anarnee on TH!

If no one has any input, I'll pick myself, but I figure I should give people who might have missed this another chance :')

27k words total for all three parts to this backstory. (8k written today lol) I cried for like 6 hours today. But it's done. JFC.

Enough cowardice. Time to work on this. *rolls up sleeves while already crying*

Changed Donovan's design up a bit when I properly inked and colored these today. I like the moodier eyes and the shorter hair much better. Griff pretty much stayed identical because his design was love from the beginning. <3

Work in Progress of some new characters. 🫠🫠 Thought since I was watching Shen stream making new OCs, I should work on these two and get them out of my brain today. Wheee. I am in love with them already. Donovan on the left, Griff on the right. AhhHHHHH.

SUPER HUGE MASSIVE CONGRATS TO SHEN! Wowza, ten chapters is a crazy milestone! YAY! Here is some Viro art! Can't wait to see her enjoying her cake in the actual story :'3 SORRY. HER TWOOO CAKES ACTUALLY!!!! #shenpaint (Full Res in comments!)

How it started vs how it's going :') Adryn edition lmao I love my boy ahhh. He deserves the happiness he's finally getting in my story. lol

Finn asks a lot of questions and doesn't take the time to consider he doesn't want the answer to some of them. 🥴

And with that Volume 1 of BirdHaven is finished! You can read it for free on the relaunched website on: www.birdhavencomic.com This is a huge deal for me, I'm also feeling a little bit emotional that I've gotten so far, so please let me know what you think and hope you will enjoy chapter 10!

I have lost my damn mind putting this much effort into this piece. All for a throw away joke that only two people will ever know. LMAO.

Depression is kicking my ass today, but nothing can stop me from working on this piece. 🫠🫠🫠 I'mma shade this tomorrow if I have time. (Character's name is Shaye!)

Pride month is just around the corner and I'm wondering what I should do for it! A: Feature specific OCs and tell a little bit about them? B: Feature specific OC couples (romantic or platonic) and tell a little bit about them? I know not many people are watching me but if you have a pref, lmk. :')

This week I went from 😭 while writing to 🥵 while drawing. What a mood shift. Still need to get back to writing, but today we're learning how to exaggerate expressions a bit more 😜 Having a greaaat time.

I don't normally post my spicier pieces. OTL But I'm proud of this one, so you guys can have a small thumbnail and let your imagination fill in the rest. 🫠 (Character with scars is Finn, character with markings is Adryn! Both are my precious boys. 🫣)

19k words into this now. I spent the start of my morning smiling so hard my cheeks hurt and now I'm crying :') And I know the crying is not going to end for a very long time. AHHH.

One of the characters I designed a few days ago. They're so damn cute. Ahhh Emile, precious to me already. *swoon*

Struggled to wake up today so I didn't write since I didn't want to mess it up. Decided to make two new OCs and revamp a third. I'm over here barkin at them all. Very normal behavior.

Time to put myself through the ultimate suffering by writing a character's backstory. *melt*

I spent like 6 hours redrawing a meme today. The dialog came out a little spicier than the original meme so I won't be sharing it lmao. But I'm proud of my boy's faces so you guys can see too :') Had fun making Ace sweat for once. (Ace on the left, Malakai on the right!)

Today was for struggling through my depression (and sleeping half the day away) and then drawing some of my girlies. :') Minnie on the left and Bennet on the right.

Ochi Ochi Ochi Ochi ToT SHEN HAS FED US ANOTHER CHAPTER! GET SPOILED EVERYONE!

I spent all last month losing my mind over my own boys. Time to lose my mind over Shen's boys now. :') Here is an intimidating looking Damien. >o< I love drawing glow AH what a cutie <3 #shenpaint (Full res in comments)

After April, I have exceeded 100k words for this story. x'D I don't know what I'm even doing anymore. I'm not even to the halfway point on what I have planned. I don't know how this has consumed so much of every fiber of my being. LOL

If you're not reading Birdhaven... WHY NOT? I'm disappointed in you. :'C

I vanished off the face of the earth for April so that I could draw 48 pieces of art and write 26k words for my story. MY BAD LMAO. (My sweet baby Ezra got so much art this month. I am so happy. I love him so much AH MY FAVORITE CHILD.) :')

Colorful boys >o< cute cute cute

I feel like garbage mentally today. But at least this art of Finn came out alright. Can I feel better now, thanks.

I have descended into madness this morning and written the outline for four chapters in one go. Lmao I can't wait for my friend to hate me with a burning passion for the pain I'm going to inflict on her :')

Watching Let's Go Karaoke, sketching, and being completely normal this morning. For sure.

Forgot to post yesterday. Here is my summary for March. Got 43 pieces of art done >3< I've already completed over 111 pieces of art this year. WTF is going on lmao.

Listen, I love my baby Ezra but he cannot be waking me up at midnight to give me epiphanies for his story. I'm too old and tired for this shit. To the Stupid Dumb Idiot Corner with you.

Starting in three days, I'm going to be participating in a personal challenge to be creative every single day in April. I have a ton of goals set, one of which is to add 6 chapters to the story I'm writing for myself. Here's where I've gotten to since October '25. Can't wait to see where I get to.

The bisexual disaster twins are finally complete. ToT I am so happyyyyyyyy.

Finished my first set of stickers and charms I will be selling at Dokomi 🥹👍

I haven't played a Pokemon game in years. I miss the pixel games so much :'C But I've been watching @shenpai.gay fixate on Pokopia and it made me realize my precious Cameron needed some love. I haven't drawn him in 6 years. That's so cringe of me OTL (let's all pretend Milotic looks right lmao)

I have to share more art of Shaye, he's making me feel feral RN. I cannot stop drawing him. He's not even my favorite character right now jfc.

I made part of a shitpost I drew my phone BG and it's the best choice I've ever made. I cannot stop grinning when I open my phone. lmao

The worst thing about having chronic/reoccurring illness is when you go a long stretch feeling pretty good and so you get used to not feeling like shit. But then it comes back again and even though you know it's not worse than before, it feels worse than before because you're not used to it anymore.

Had to stop myself from crying like a baby

I think I've become addicted to drawing dorky smiles on my characters agshagshga. Hyuuuuah.

I will forever be disappointed in myself for chickening out and not applying to help during the Scuffathon. What's done is done though, so just expect fanart here and there as I try to repay you for forever changing my life by just being you and showing me I can be me. #shenpaint fullres in comments

It is genuinely insane that I went from "I will never draw again." after commissions completely destroyed my entire psyche and now I feel like I'm going to die if I'm not drawing my OCs every day. Same for writing? I didn't write for over 10 years and last month I wrote like 30k words????

February is over for me and I'm off to bed. >o< Got 37 pieces of art done this month! *shakes my own hand*

I got a writing brainworm and wrote 13k words in two days for what was supposed to be a quick, short story. OTL I just made it to what is supposed to be the halfway point.

It's always super humbling to see your progress as an artist lmao Looking back at old art and going... why the hell did I do that? How did I not notice how bad that looked lmao

I don't really post my art publicly anymore. The only thing you'll probably find here is summaries and fanart. I've spent 2 decades losing my soul doing commissions, so now I'm happy to be sitting in my own corner, drawing just for myself and my own happiness, with no pressure from an audience. <3

My head canon is that every time Voxer is being a POS, Ochi sticks his tongue out, but only when Voxer can't see. :') Definitely not an excuse to draw Ochi with his tongue out, because I'm always very normal. Full res in comments. #Shenpaint
