✨reminding myself to post on here consistently again✨ #wip

back on this bad boy again, the matteboard I was originally planning on using is too thick to go through the scanner rollers, so I had to switch gears and pick up some Arches paper (hoping the texture doesn’t fuck with my sharpies)

well, I’ve made a fun little discovery as of this morning, what I thought was a dinky 3.5 year old has turned into an ancient 7.5-8.5 year old buck I’m still in disbelief that I even saw this guy in the daylight, I’m grateful I got the opportunity to interact with such a wise old animal

did this year blow a little? yes I didn’t want to shoot this buck, but as a reminder, part of your obligation as a hunter is to help animals out, and sometimes that means taking a life to end their suffering this guy rolled through with a broken shoulder tonight and I had to pull on him

I’ve also been back on the TTRPG project, slowly but surely making progress

1/2 🛢️ON DECK🛢️ 2026 teaser quotes #selfpub #t4t #queerbooks

🛢️ON DECK🛢️ 2026 “On Deck is a queer contemporary adult romance novel about a trans man who’s fighting to make it in the rodeo world alone, but he comes to realize he’s not alone in his battle to the top, and finds himself in a rivalry that’s a little too close to home.” #selfpub #t4t #queerbooks

for every half of the relationship where one partner collects for value, there’s the other half where they collect purely on vibes (it’s me, I’m vibes)

“You Weren’t Meant To Be Human” but it’s top surgery tatts 👀 #artistonbluesky #fanart #ywmtbh #youwerentmeanttobehuman #digitalart #illustration

without dropping spoilers, this should’ve had a “dog dies in the end” tag, still upset the next morning wtf

did I finish this all in one afternoon? perhaps. sick af visuals, Fucking WeirdTM, 10/10 experience wasn’t as grossed out as I thought I’d be which is either really cool or really bad be prepared for some wild shit coming out of my art soon bc AUGH
