This bodes well for those of us releasing werewolf books this year too, then 👀 (*cough* preorder THE HOWLING DARK and/or add it on GR pretty please and pretty thank you *cough*) 2026 WEREWOLF RESURGENCE 🙌🐺

Time to dust this one off again

ONE WEEK UNTIL TRIGUN STARGAZE ‼️

Year of the horse

​To celebrate International Science Fiction Day (January 2) and the second anniversary of Woodpusher's release, have a flash sale where you can get Kotov Syndrome and Woodpusher individually for 50% off or together for just $4. The sale is for 24 hours only. #sff itch.io/s/178023/int...

Give yourself something to look forward to next year. Something less substantial than a resolution which can carry regret if you can't stick to it. Think of a book you want to read, a genre of music you'd like to learn more about, a curiosity to chase no matter how trivial. Keep your spark lit.

Me: *wonders why I'm so wiped today* Also me: has a chronic tooth infection, has a sore throat that may or may not be a cold, went to the gym yesterday, didn't drink enough yesterday or today, slept poorly, only ate cereal + a few chocolates + a single piece of cheese since waking up this morning

This is one of the most beautiful things I have witnessed, the craft here is impeccable.

💞 AN ARCANE INHERITANCE IS OUT NOW 💞 This book has been mine for so long. Now it's yours. Thank you to @emilykaitlin.bsky.social and @poisonedpenpress.bsky.social for believing in me and this story. You can find An Arcane Inheritance wherever books are sold. Purchase: linktr.ee/kamilahcole

I love maned wolves so much you don't understand

something vaguely related to a comic idea I had in 2017... I'll work on it after POMA maybe?

Art vs. artist 2025 🌟

One thing I would love to do more of next year (that I'd planned to do more of this year but have thus far done none of) is stream. Art streams! Game streams! I have been doing a lot more video/audio calls, though, which I think will help me be less anxious about streaming when I do get back to it 😂

Anyone got any rec for effective and affordable skincare products?? My skin has gotten so awful on my face this past year and Aveeno ain't cutting it 💀 I've never done any kind of skincare routine before so I'm not sure where to even start.

Last year, I said “If my 30s are going to be symbolic of anything, I'd like for it to be change.” And with 2025, I think I’m off to a good start. This turned out to be a year of taking chances, trying things, making plans, and seizing strokes of luck.

Name Her Holy is 50% off as part of the itch winter sale and this is how I’m choosing to advertise that ✨❄️ aubreyennis.itch.io/name-her-holy

If you're an artist coming over from Twitter because of this bullshit they added, first of all: Really genuinely sorry they fucked you like this & I think it's extremely reasonable to be crashing out HARD right now Second: I'm gonna offer Bluesky tips and encourage ppl to share starter packs here

Itchio did a LOT of the heavy-lifting, but overall, sales weren't bad considering I haven't released anything in about 2.5 years! Amazon: 164 (across 4 books + 1,734 KU page reads) Itchio: 305 (across 2 books, mostly via bundles) Other: 8 (across 2 books) Total: 477, of which 20 were paperbacks

Yearning for a place of my own where *I* get to host the family Christmas gathering someday 🥺🙏

Merry Christmas! It's been a hectic year and I haven't managed to make anything new for Christmas, but I do have my ImpCycle holiday story to share, I hope you guys like it :) it's mostly spoiler free for the series, but takes place after Nightfall.

Just want to put out feelers for a TTRPG writer/dev or two who would be interested in collaborating on a pulpy scifi/fantasy project in 2026 with myself and another artist/writer. Ideally someone who'd fuck with "Frank Frazetta but queer" as an aesthetic. Would love 2 chat if this sounds interesting

BLEAKHOUSE! ⚙️🌼 It's about an automaton girl (Artemis), a famous inventor's grandson (Ganymede), and warring parallel universes. What excites me about it is the grittier, more selfish nature that sets it apart from my other works. If I were to comp it to anything, I'd say Dishonored and Counterpart!

Another WIP I'm looking forward to is SUNDERED STAR, the BLOODY SPADE prequel that details Circ's fall from grace, the Cataclysm, and the creation and sacrifice of the original Keepers. I'm really excited to flesh out that whole mess of calamitous sibling angst & secret sapphic forbidden romance 👁️👁️

Feels weird trying to write my overall positive 2025 recap when the seasonal affective disorder is hitting hard 🥴

Do you write about comics? If you do, you should consider applying to the Comics Criticism Mini Grant. All you need are two clips published over the past year. It is a very simple application! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

QRP with your oldest and newest art of your OC! ✨ I've done this for Ellen and Iori a bunch, so how about Alexander? 2009 vs. 2025! Fun fact: I actually drew him first out of that trio (only by a couple months, though)

art vs artist 2025 ✨ i have a whole post abt how this year challenged me creatively and mentally more than I’ve felt for years and how keeping a personal sketchbook helped keep grounded but bsky’s character limit won’t let me wax on about it 🌞 you get the point though

Your honor, I miss them

Listening to Audiomachine's "Guardians at the Gate" put me in the mood to draw some of my neglected alien characters

Going into 2026, a reminder for everyone who's fallen off the creative wagon, game dev, writing, art, music, whatever, no matter how long:

So the guy himself is saying they arent really even seeing productivity gains? He said they are just using AI because they are afraid of being left behind. He is inviting this public scorn by repeating techbro talking points for no benefit at all. The mind of a CEO is fascinating.

A thread of how to say “nobody asked you” from around the world, starting with this one… A Lithuanian way of telling someone to mind their own business is ne tavo kiaulės, ne tavo pupos. It means “not your pigs, not your beans.”

QotD: Magic or superpowers? Hola readers! Here's day 4 of Indiecember with the Cardplay duology by @bmwillows.bsky.social and it's an amazing YA Urban Fantasy, perfect for readers who love anime like My Hero Academia, Sailor Moon, and RWBY. 🧵/1

consider my feedback: i loved working at @larianstudios.com until AI. reconsider and change your direction, like, yesterday. show your employees some respect. they are world-class & do not need AI assistance to come up with amazing ideas.

Dante, my GODKILLERS mc. I miss him.

falling from grace ☄️

Gemini has somehow weaseled its way into my Notes app on my phone despite me having Gemini disabled, and I am displeased (but not surprised) to report that it is worse and now lags all the time :)

🌸 QRP with something with horns 🌸
