I live yet 💪 Been absent from this site far too long after life got a bit too hectic for my liking last autumn. Hoping to start posting art again and little sneak peeks into my more personal projects, mayhaps perhaps ;*

This is the line of division / Terminus Est Severian and Thecla from The Book of the New Sun

Ladies of the Living Princess is now at ShortBox Comics Fair... my slightly scary medieval romantic fantasy... here's a preview...!

TIME WILL DEVOUR HIS CHILDREN: CHAPTER TWO is out now! This on-going dark fantasy comic about your past coming back to haunt you continues in its second 110-page installment, which you can buy here: claystorks.itch.io/time-will-de... 🍂

I already said it, but I will say it again - we need better MODERATION tools, not censorship guidelines. Automod is still incorrectly flagging art as explicit content when too much skin is showing or it represents LGBTQ+ community. We should be given more labels to what we post, not this.

people can issue consent. things cannot. drawings & sculptures & fictional characters are things. they are property. they are NOT real people. requiring fictional characters to issue consent is an insult to real people w/real problems how does bsky expect to get consent from something like marble?

saw a post i liked on tumblr today.....didnt see that they'd posted it on their account here but i wish they would its a sentiment that resonated w me more than making "good" art it's just important to make art....thanks man

A dream of the Abyss

from one mouth to another and every other after

lrt this mentality has always been the crux of my art and writing but been feeling it all the more as of late. On a related note, things have been busy irl but I wanted to say hi to the new followers and thank people for the love they've shown to my oc art 🥺❤️ Means the world to me, thank you.

truly the only reason why I'm doing any of this shit: I want to see this shit exist solely so I can enjoy it myself, the fact other people dig what I'm writing and drawing is a plus

just constantly whispering to myself, "but it could be weirder" to everything including my own work

Saw this on tumblr and couldn't agree more.

"I can't brainstorm without ai" "I can't draw without ai" "I can't write without ai" "Ai summarized it for me cause it's too hard of a read" So what exactly /can/ you do? Because you sound fucking useless to me

✨I hope we all make it ✨

real wizards don't support transphobes :-) #transrights#fuckterfs

"no sex scenes unless it serves the plot" the plot is I want to see them fuck nasty and that's actually legal

this is probably my favorite sapphic work and absolutely get it while you still can

On a related note to the awful bans, I do feel tempted to just going back to using euphemisms and code words to navigate around in this puritan hell while biding my time. Hopefully though the pushback to these changes is harsh enough that they have no other choice but to roll them back 🤞

All this anti-sex and kink etc bs is deeply aggravating but also discouraging. I know I will keep on writing whatever my heart desires but this definitely puts a damper on what little hope I've held onto about not just making some pocket money with my stories, but having the chance to +

Another revenge! This time for thegoldenage over on Artfight, featuring their oc Hjördís (also known as Hetjikem) with a curious dune gecko ☀️ #artfight2025

Your stories and art are worth telling and sharing. They don’t have to be groundbreaking or revolutionary. They just need to be YOURS.

Tbh It's actually okay to suck at stuff you enjoy doing. You don't have to gear into competition or be the absolute best. Existing and having fun is just as worthwhile. You don't have to make money off it. You don't have to get published. You can literally just create it, fail, learn, and make more

This was a super fun way to do some composition & color practice 😊Thanks to everyone who lent me their characters!

Writers: before you sign a contract with a publisher, make sure AI isn't replacing your illustrator, your translator, your editor, your jacket designer. Readers: if you're thinking of buying a book, do the same. Refuse. Resist. If AI garbage doesn't sell, people will stop making it.

Nostalgia is a rot that will eat you from the inside out if left unchecked. Find something you can love in the present and the future.

not now bro i'm romanticizing the monstrous, eroticizing the grotesque, and glorifying the perverse

what's that? #ffxiv

wild strawberries

Oh hey, thank you for 100+ followers! Hopefully I'll have some new art to share soon (lots of wips cooking in the pot currently) 🫶

piggybacking off this: the most powerful sales technique in the world, for pretty much all of human history, has been word of mouth. If you like something someone made, TELL YOUR FRIENDS. Tell everyone. Leave reviews. Repost. Talk about it. Link to it and link to the artist. We depend on YOU.
