Wasn’t going to post this cos I didn’t want to give you Demeter Overload, but after struggling with it I’m really pleased with how she turned out :3 #art #myocs #originalcharacter

QTP with the Pokémon that runs your account

One chapter of this draft left! This is not a drill, people! This is not a drill! 😱 #amwriting

Hmm, considering my character Demi loves to be drawn so much she is being very awkward of late 😆

Not sure if this sketch looks weird cos there’s something off, or cos I’ve been staring at it for so long 🤔

Artists, show me the first ever picture of your OC and the most recent one I can’t believe I’ve still got this. The first ever sketches I did of Demeter, c.2004, and the most recent from 2026. Changed a bit, hasn’t she? 😆

Been so caught up in writing this draft that I’ve only just noticed I’ve sailed past the 90k word count mark 🤯 #amwriting

Yep, nothing sets you up for the day quite like being around someone who’s permanently complaining 🙃

Use one piece of art to convince folks to follow you 🎨

"Why won't you use AI?" they say as I wake up to another 15°c above average day

Demeter side profile :3 also no, I will never be consistent with her fur markings, mwahaha 😆 #art #myocs #originalcharacter

Decided to merge my two accounts together because honestly I don’t have the energy to run two accounts rn XD I’m retiring this one but you can find me and my furry art on @ladymacsteff.bsky.social alongside my other art and random life ramblings 😊

Ah, it’s so great when your marker pen decides to explode over your sketch - not 🤪

Ngl, I’m impressed how close I could get this to Demeter :3 had to flip it so her hair streak and star were on the right side, though 😆 so full credit goes to Maddel_art on Picrew :3

I think the stray cat in the garden fancies my cat. Sadly, the feelings aren’t reciprocated 😆

After all these years you’d think I’d know how to draw Demeter’s fringe. Alas, I still struggle to get it right 😆

Wth vets, why have you made a phone consultation appointment for my cat?! Do you expect her to meow down the phone?

Writing this chapter and things take an unexpected dive into horror territory. Well, I guess we’ll see how it goes, lol #amwriting

You know, I think the reason I draw my ocs smiling so much is because I’m so mean to them when I write them. It balances things out 😂

Urgh, I think writing this chapter is going to break me 😫 #amwriting

This is it. I’m about to start writing the climax. I’m excited and terrified in equal measure. Wish me luck! #amwriting

Me: *attempts to sketch character not smiling to practise expressions* Character’s expression: 😄 Me: dammit 🤪

The end is in sight. Three more chapters to go and draft one will be completed. I am much excited 🥳 #amwriting

It's my birthday today, and it'd mean a lot to me if you could share my art and help it reach more people! 🥺👉👈

It’s official: the end of draft one is in sight! 😁 #amwriting

Happy Stuff Yourself With Chocolate Day! 😋

Tfw you work on your antagonist’s backstory and accidentally make him scarier … oops 🫣 #amwriting

Me: urgh, why am I so tired today? Also me: *stayed up till like 4am writing*

Woo, I’m a chicken 🐥 definitely not a trendsetter though 😆

I don’t think I’ve ever sketched this character with their hair down, it feels very strange 🤭

Nobody talk to me, writing that chapter was horrible #amwriting

Aw yeah, think I’ve finally found a replacement for this character’s placeholder name 🥳 #amwriting

And that's 80k words done in this first draft 🥳 #amwriting

Never before have I read a book where I’ve been this emotionally invested in a gingerbread man

Worked on some character backstories today, which naturally involved being mean to said characters. Why are writers like this? 😆 #amwriting

Happy World Book Day everyone! 📚

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 😆

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 🤭
