Hi I'm Steph, I love doing illustrations and fan art from my favourite stories and occasionally throw in my own ocs too

Finally got round to updating my Ko-fi, now with optional membership tiers for exclusive content 👀 ko-fi.com/ladymacsteff #art #artist #ko-fi

Hey. Tell people when they do good job. When you like the stuff they make. When you like the characters they’ve created. The stories they’ve told. Nobody hears it as often as you think bc everyone thinks everyone hears it all the time. Trust. They don’t. Tell. Them.

Art train! Choo choo! 🚂🚃🚃🚃 4 works, 4 tags Hee hee, thanks Steph 🤭💜 Um … I don’t really think I have 4 people to tag, soooo … all aboard, I guess 😆

There seems to be something of a Pingu renaissance going on, and I’m here for it 🐧

Share 4 years of your art! 2022 - under ground library environment 2023 - Adam Johnson tribute 2024 - Rook tarot card 2025 - illustration of Feanor threatening Fingolfin #art #dragonage #datv #thesilmart #tolkienart

Dammit, why does writing food scenes always make me hungry, lol

What’s your favourite Disney movie?

Woo, I’ve passed 300 pages in this draft! 🥳 #amwriting #writingcommunity #firstdraft

We did it, everyone, we made it through January! 🥳

Feeling cute, might colour later. Meow meow :3 #art #myocs #originalcharacters

I've been hearing this refrain lately about AI- "Everyone uses it, some people are just honest about it." Bullshit. I can't stop search 'summaries' popping up, but otherwise it's not something I use or want in my writing process. Never prompted ChatGPT. Never spent AI credits on Microsoft/Adobe.

Since it’s my birthday I’d love if you shared my ocs 🧡

Hee hee, thanks Steph 🤭 Choo choo, art train time! 🚂 Um … not entirely sure I have anyone to tag, so let’s just go with anyone else who wants to join in 🤭

Yes, finally think I’ve got this character design sorted 🥳

Happy New Year everyone! 🥳

I'm making great progress with my ideas for the second draft of my novel! The problem is I haven't finished the first draft yet. Oops 😆 #amwriting

Urgh, why does figuring out your story’s timeline have to be so complicated? 😆 #amwriting

Just thought of a potential solution to a plot problem I’ve had for months and audibly gasped. The struggle is real, lol #amwriting #writingproblems

Merry Christmas! 🎄

I think it’s time I stitch this jumble of notes into something a bit more cohesive 🤭 #amwriting

The Christmas tree has landed 😁🎄

Tell you what, I’ll be glad when I’ve finished this bit, cos my feels are well and truly smushed 😭 #amwriting #originalstory

December is finally upon us. Christmas Mode: Activated 🎄

Aw yeah, just passed the 70k word count for this draft 🥳 #amwriting #firstdraft

OC sketch time! I really need to draw him more often 🤭 #art #myoc

*types notes so they’re nice and neat* *prints out* *proceeds to scribble extra notes all over them* Whoops 😆 Oh well. At least the ideas are flowing 🤭

Yeah, look at me trying to organise my story notes. Spoiler: it’s not going well 😆

Ah yes, that well known writer’s trick of avoiding writing angst by writing some different angst 😆

Happy Halloween everyone! 🎃

What do you do when the wall’s being re-papered? You doodle a secret Demeter for future folks to find 🤭

It’s the season of the (cat) witch ✨

Finally got around to reworking some much neglected backstory, only to find it taking me in a completely different direction to what I anticipated. Ah, the joys of writing 🤭

I’m opening up some emergency commissions in the hopes I can cover some personal bills I’m short for for this month 🤞 forms.gle #commissions #emergencycommissions

Human artists, use only one piece to convince people to follow you

Currently stuck in a loop of: “I’m the worst writer alive” to “It’s the first draft, it’s meant to suck, keep going!” 😆 #amwriting

Been using cotton watercolour paper lately, and omg it’s such a game changer! 10/10, definitely recommend ❤️

Tfw you finally nail down a character design

Omg, I’m actually sketching a character not smiling for once, lol 😆

So, I’ve had a character idea, but it’ll require quite a lot of story rewrites. No one let me do it until I’ve finished this draft 😆 #amwriting #writingproblems #firstdraft

Tfw you get to the point in your story you were excited to write, and your brain refuses to co-operate #amwriting

Tfw your brain decides to throw a million plot ideas for your story at you at once #amwriting #writingcommunity

Ah, it’s late. The perfect time to plot out some vampire lore 🧛🏻 #amwriting

Character study for my oc, Munka. I really need to draw him more often #art #myoc

Hi #PortfolioDay I'm Steph, a British disabled artist who loves illustrating her favourite stories and creating character designs!

Decided I'm long overdue some practise at drawing guys - wish me luck 😆

Aw yeah, finally worked out some story lore I’d been putting off for a while, and it feels gooooood 😌 #amwriting #writingcommunity #originalstory

Patatas has finally made an appearance on Taskmaster. I am happy 😁

It’s a double milestone: I’ve reached 50k words and 200 pages of my first draft! 🥳 #amwriting #writingcommunity

Ok brain, I know you’re excited to start on book 2, but I think we should finish writing book 1 first 😆 #amwriting #writingcommunity #writingproblems
