forcing my art to get better by doggedly drawing the same two losers over and over again

insomnia? try writing 1900 words overnight. 1900 words perfect size for mouth; taste like sleep but also somewhat like mania. you will certainly not regret typing 1900 words overnight

trying to decide if i want try to post the cropped shots from my new The Novel art over here again because when i tried like. an hour ago. the images only showed up as blank/not visible after i posted which feels Pointed. but i'm not allowed to believe in "signs from the universe" anymore so.

(OC) My beloved evil vampire wife

not related to that a novel i saved to my bookshelf literally like two years ago now which was stuck at three chapters for a year and a half has been updating pretty regularly recently and i want to read it but i’m also afraid because what if the author stops updating again </3

Something for the new year 🐎 #art #illustration

The Novel got to me so bad i’m playing a mobile game just because alternate versions of The Characters apparently show up in it at some point

trying to improve my inks featuring @chanelathena.bsky.social 's OC Tzatzi 🤍🖤

i love my friends. my friends are also 60% the reason i am incapable of not writing things constantly. so. it is a double edged blade yes.

may the year of the fire horse bring you resilience, forward momentum and the strength in community to enact change 🎇❤️‍🔥 (a few weeks early🤫) #马年 #万马奔腾 #guolduart

Rough environment art warmup! Based off a photo I loved of an abandoned place. The grimy hues and splotchy shapes were what got to me #art #study #environment

freed momentarily from The Novel for a different, probably more respectable novel

last year i asked for god to grant me the ability to read more of my tbr. well this year the fucking monkey’s paw curled and now i’ve become that old geezer who’s constantly bemoaning about how underrated the novels are in comparison to their adaptations

i love being free! i love not having words to write! ignore the shadow of Next New Project looming over me.

do i torpedo my already tenuous sleep schedule to try and watch w.inter begonia out of boredom and a need to avoid the reading i should be doing.

i have no idea if i've ever shown these goofy lil expressions for Norebellum from a couple years ago their face does NOT work like this, but its fun to imagine isnt it?

surely there is no better time than two am to get tbr list reading done

i think i’m mutuals with a mutual in law of the person who wrote the original post on tumblr so i don’t want to complain there but i made the mistake of going into the general tag and one specific post that i hate popped up (hang on i’ll elaborate i forgot how fucked the character limit on here is)

Might fuck around and have a Knights and ladies phase again.

looking at my procreate library is so fun(ny) because it’s like. 7/10 of my most recent files are for The Novel. some point in the last couple months the experience from the preceding three years hit critical mass and now i’m stuck like this.

My second piece of art for the dmbj calendar project! I just really think xiuxiu deserves a break from everyone's nonsense! archiveofourown.org/works/75298536 #HuoXiuXiu #DMBJ #盗墓笔记 #myart 🎨✨

reminding myself that reading one chapter every couple days is better than getting caught in inertia and freezing up and abandoning reading anything at all. but oh boy. i long for the days when i was like fourteen and could read a book in a day.

Color study

more art i can't show in good conscience, so more hands that i can show out of context

there’s something so hard to articulate about how having exes, as in people you dated but stopped dating, is fine, but having An Ex, no matter how amicably you broke up, is evil
