Happy Saturday. Press on. Find happy. Find it in small things Keep going. Said as much for myself as for anyone reading this.

Another threatened sketch! This one doing some advertising for @sizecon.bsky.social's hotel accomodations. Such consideration!

An odd joy is looking through art friends posts after my phone puts on the "night time" mode, making everything black and white. It makes the values chosen and composition stand out. And lemme just say: I've got talented fucking friends.

One of the threatened sketches:

More coming soon! But for now, have some Bridgette and Mary shenanigans.

giant rukia is giant

I keep forgetting the impediment on creative endeavors that is stress. Been worried about tax time for what feels like months now, and since it's done the endorphins coursing through my body are going WOOHOOOO

One of the threatened sketches:

I think this is one of my favorite expressions I've ever drawn. Top 20, at least.

Look out for some more sketchy stuff in the next week or so, just to get more Moose on your feeds. Got some commissions that are getting cleaned up, but I've been gone too long and it's affecting my brains. Both of them.

The slow crawl back to productivity continues. Today: Did taxes. WHEEE.

More coming soon! But for now, have some Bridgette and Mary shenanigans.

I've seen people trying to defend it today by saying "No, no, I just use it to brainstorm, bounce ideas, I do the actual writing" and with all the kindness in the world I need to tell you: if there is a stage of writing you are not good at, you need to get good, not use the plagiarism machine.

So glad to see those who attended the in person @sizecon.bsky.social had a great time. The acceptance and kindness shown during the con is it's true strength, though the copious amount of size content on display doesn't hurt.

Going to sizecon? Tell em moose sent you. I know I didn't, but I need the referral points.

I urgently need to make some sales this week. A share is also very helpful. 🙇 🔸Macros for #ClipStudioPaint | $5 🔸Mega-Pack with 300+ #retrogame art + extras | $15 🔸Exquisite #brush to draw shapes with depth | $5 🔸My first artbook with Rabbits & Robots | $0 🔗 ko-fi.com/dadotronic/s...

From sketch to inks to flats to final, my latest commission from @moosetracks80085.bsky.social -- which he dubbed "Balloondoir." I can't draw, so I commission creative human beings who can. Paying money for AI "content" is the ultimate insult. Hire real artists to create the unreal.

Cael casts "Engorged Udders" on Shadowheart. She needs to make a Constitution save of 14, otherwise... well, she gets the "Restrained" condition. And she chooses to fail the save. @tierynbe.bsky.social commissioned this fine piece!

Starting to actually FINISH pieces again. Making no promises as to my "BUT I'M BACK NOW", but it feels good.

I want to believe

Looking for something (hopefully) better to read than the news? The sequel collaboration with bsky.app/profile/moos... is here:

As a teenager, I flew a plane for about 30 minutes while my father took a nap next to me.

“I close my eyes, Only for a moment and the moment's gone.” ~ Dust in the Wind, by Kansas Five years ago today Huge Tracts of Land, the original version of this artwork, came out. This piece is a very special one for me and my assistants!

I've seen this sentiment posted elsewhere, but The Mountain is doing a fucking number on me in terms of boosting my hope for creativity. Not only is the video for The Mountain, the Moon Cave and the Sad God a triumph of hand drawn art, but the whole album is just... I don't know... Vibes.

Moose, why have you been so quiet? Because I feel like talking about the struggle is unnecessary, and promises of activity ultimately lead to nothing as something else comes up. But I am alive, and there's a lot of awesome stuff my friends are posting. It's great to see

A few extra pounds never got in the way of a professional woman doing her job (1/3)

If today felt unproductive, remember: Rest is part of the workflow. Always has been. 🖌️💙

After almost two months of sickness, snow and other struggles, I was able to ACTUALLY draw today. The moose... Stirs...

Happy 40th to the Legend of Zelda. Odd to be the same age as a franchise that literally changed my life in all the best ways.

Don't know if I could outdrink her to be honest (2/4)

Now that I have completed half a novel, I’m taking a break from writing and catching up on neglected tasks. I have new art by @moosetracks80085.bsky.social to share, based on a scene from my hourglass expansion story, Thick As A Thief. Read the story here: swelltales.com/Home/ReadTal...

"Attacks of Hyperlactation Syndrome are particularly hard to predict, as the physiological state, and even the mood of the patient have a great impact on their severity : To be blunt, this condition gives to 'love conquers all' an all new meaning..."

Not dead! Still recovering. Sinus infection/cold became bronchitis. Wheeeeee!!

10 year old Tutorial I did that I really should update...

Vera the bully gets bullied back! HA HA!!

Feeling a bit better. Attempted arting. This was a mistake. I shall resume my rest and take another stab again later.

Fanart for @moosetracks80085.bsky.social of his Bridgette!

Kiddo finally goes back to school and I'm fighting off a sinus infection. Fuuuu

Something to spark joy tonight: The Nicholas Brothers and Cab Calloway doing what they do best youtu.be/IoMbeDhG9fU?...

The news about Catherine O'Hara is hitting my harder than I thought it would. A proper treasure, and true all-timer. Dammit, man. Not cool.

It turns out the car situation was a more complex than we thought. Heard back saying that they've tracked misfiring to a spark plug on top of the original issue and I've got to come up with somewhere close to $350. Sending out an APB for commissions. Anything helps! Spread the word if you can!

@borisgrim414.bsky.social Wanted to pop by to pay the following compliment: Every time I see a piece from you, I see things I want to steal. Marvelous work!

Me as a teenager: I'mma draw everyone angry and muscular. I'MMA BE AN ANGRY ARTIST WHO DRAWS NOTHING BUT BADASS STUFF!! Me as an adult: How can I make these lesbians look cozier and have bigger boobs? Is there a way to make it both sexy AND sweet?
