Fanart Friday 🎉 A Light So Blinding by Emma Hamm See my IG for full review. @morallyshay Coming out November 14th! #alightsoblinding #emmahamm #fanart #bookart #fanartfriday

Happy Halloween, Samhain, Dia de los Muertos, etc. you guys! Orctober has come to an end, but you know that don’t mean a thing over here! It’s Orctober erry day! 🤭 Anyway, enjoy this *cheeky* little orc. #orc #orctober #halloween #pinup

A TikTok caused this. Enjoy. The 15th-century guide for witch hunters, the Malleus Maleficarum, seriously claimed that witches could steal men's penises and keep them as pets, storing them in a nest or a box and feeding them oats and corn. #witches #tiktok #happyhalloween

Felt like it was time for a new profile pic. 🤷‍♀️ I definitely feel like I see some progress (even if it’s just a little) after grinding all month. One thing I’ll always say: if you want to get better at something, do it every day. I definitely try. #profilepic #bookart #commissionsopen

Happy Inktober! 🎉 It’s day 1 and the prompt is #mustache When I think of mustaches, I think of Burt Reynolds. Back in the day, Burt did a photo shoot on a bearskin rug. You should def google it. 😋 Anyway, I decided to recreate this pose with my orc OC, Gryg. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
