This one goes to Ashlyn Love, Monica's best friend and the lead singer within their band. In my character summary for her I have "the nicest person you've ever met" just so I always keep in mind how I want her to come across while I'm writing. Her friendship has saved the day on several occasions.

Maddox Rhys is one of the people over the years who have helped to facilitate a safe space for Monica away from home and school. Showing an angry young woman that there's people and places that don't suck out there, and also letting her punch things she won't get in trouble for punching. #WIPSnips

TFW you're worried that smoochin' this priestess might get her in trouble, then it turns out one of her goddess's many domains is carnal pleasure.

Golden week is now over but we have a grand finale >:) (8/8) #MyArt #Commission #OCCommission

Thigh-up skeb commissions are back up again! There's 10 slots this time (Work starts early June) and like last year; the swimwear sale is back so if your request includes the swimwear deal you get 10% off! 🙏 #Commissions #CommissionsOpen #VGen vgen.co/Tulchip/serv...

Monica sends an excited message and later Raven gives a polite request for clarification. As always, preemptive apologies to any screen reader programs attempting to decipher Monica's text chats. Synonym: rebooting #WIPSnips

More of Elena, this time her reaction to seeing Katherina for the first time in eight years- somewhat lamenting the lack of prior notice. As overheard by the princess on the other side of the curtain. #WIPSnips

Elena is only physically present in a little bit of the story, but I try to make her presence felt during those parts. I like her a lot. Because of her skills she's in a high position despite her common origins. She's very smart, friendly, and caring. Just don't fuck with her daughter. #WIPSnips

Commissions OPEN, 3 slots available :3 vgen.co/emorui/servi...

Being your own OC's biggest fan means putting them in the same outfit (or lack thereof) and similar pose you've seen/done a hundred times and still going "OUGH" at how beautiful they are

Artists, if your comms fill up the day you post them, raise your prices. You deserve it. You can always run discounts in the future. But if you're in demand, respond to that demand.

Commissions are currently open! Feel free to email me ([email protected]) if interested, and you can also check my Carrd for more examples of my art and detailed info 🖤 merhelvcomms.carrd.co

Monica will devour any food in seconds then look forlornly at everyone else's still-full plates until she's offered seconds. So her pizza order is "whatever y'all want, I'm good" and there are no leftovers. It's hard to get her to say her own preferences. She says she's happy when everyone else is.

Mommy? Sorry. Mother? Sorry. Mom? Sorry. ⚠️ Commission WIP ⚠️

Habitually. Princess Lynnari is already an AU version of my character Lianne, whose defaults is a middle-aged schoolteacher with two grown children. Other story incarnations have her as the bass player in a rock band, a space pirate queen, or a woman who gets isekai'd 500 years into the past.

Raven's name and pronouns are a regular feature within the story because it's in Monica's first person perspective and therefore they simply show up as a result. They're mostly left self-evident, but the introduction of Mrs. Marten gave a good opportunity for an explanation. #WIPSnips

⭐ Commission SALE, 7 slots ⭐ Commissions for skeb-style thigh up are back open, this time there will be a sale if you buy a commission with the golden (week) bikini discount! Shares are greatly appreciated 🙏💝 vgen.co/Tulchip/serv... #Commissions #CommissionsOpen #VGenCommissions

VIP Commish: Aria & Forte for @crystalplanet00.bsky.social !

With the HP trailer dropping tomorrow, here's the whole deal: If you watch the show, hell even just the trailer, I will think less of you. I will dislike you. I will think you don't care about trans people. That's it. It's been years. There's no wiggle room. No qualifiers. You care or you don't.

Hey, if you need some art I have comms open at vgen.co/Sarkastiklover Also, it'd help pay the bills because, goddamn, there are so many bills. #art #digitalart #illustration #VGenComm

You know the rule

Accept no substitutes:

When getting a story from Monica's perspective you tend to get very particular observations. She knows what she likes, and isn't shy about telling a third party reading her account what she thinks about it- in very straightforward language. She's happy to share what's in her head. #WIPSnips

In vague-ish order of when I played them. Rogue is mainly there for being the first video game I played. SNES section for being when I really got into games. After that it's just ones that had a big influence on me at the time. Should also be pretty clear which systems I owned (and which I didn't.)

I've rarely taken the opportunity to write Lianne as she acts in her normal teaching role, and I'm quite enjoying it. I want to get across that it's not just because of her looks that she's everyone's favorite teacher. #WIPSnips

Monica meets Raven outside school in the morning and inquires about what she just saw. It's a tightrope balancing between making Monica's text chats both incomprehensible and comprehensible at the same time. Coin flip if I succeed, but I also try to give enough context to get the gist. #WIPSnips

I really like the interactions that come with the time being set when Monica is in high school. One of my favorites is being able to show Mrs. Marten's protective instincts for her students. An authority figure that actually has her best interests in mind is a new experience for Monica. #wipsnips

Character physical description time again, one of my favorite things to write. Monica meets the new teacher for the first time and is temporarily overwhelmed by the sudden reminder of just how much of a lesbian she herself is. #wipsnips

Writing in Monica's first person perspective is quite fun. She rather wears her heart on her sleeve, on occasions where she's wearing sleeves. And in the unlikely event #wipsnips selects the f-bomb I'll be spoiled for choice. A part of her internal monologue when seeing the new English teacher.

Monica thinks pretty highly of her friends/bandmates and never misses an opportunity to hype them up, even in her own head. This is Ash's introduction. #wipsnips

Sketch commission for @lgooms.bsky.social!

The minor villain of the first few chapters is the school's vice principal. Monica ditches the rest of the school day after an unpleasant interaction and blows off steam at her boxing gym. The owner's daughter helps ice her hands afterwards while commiserating. #wipsnips

Having a superhero setting finally pays off in the most important way- not needing a synonym for a #wipsnips Ash defaults to filling the space with idle conversation. Monica doesn't mind, and in fact usually appreciates the heavy lifting. All Powers are cool. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Synonym- worth Monica's got good friends. Ash will use her popularity and knowledge of rules and systems to fight on her friends' behalf officially. Raven will get up in someone's face to lay out for everyone in hearing range what isn't fair about the situation, damn the consequences. #wipsnips

I do not want to watch shows about rich people unless it's about their downfall. I will not empathize with them. I care about their problems exactly as much as they care about mine, which is to say I do not care at all.

Looking back at old(er) stuff I've done and imo this is still the best thing I've ever drawn. Perhaps because it also took the longest to make of anything I've drawn, but regardless.

A pissed-off Monica went to Mad's Pumphouse (her boxing gym) to blow off steam and pushed herself a bit too hard. What follows is an excerpt from the group chat between her, Raven, and Ash. Apologies to anyone with a screen reader for inflicting Monica's terrible typing skills upon them. #wipsnips

Phaedre and Mme. Jasmine. It's handy that Phaedre's uniform jacket is so large. #oc #art

it's so fun when girls are gay

it looks better this way
