An endless struggle as I try to remind myself that characters NEED to struggle and face hardships before the end of the book. They need growth and to overcome SOMETHING for readers to keep interested. I also want to protect my imaginary babies and let them live their best lives with their pets.

Haven't made a lot of stickers or full digital art, but my warm ups can still be found on my patreon! In the background I've been working on map making and world building for a high fantasy world and trying to regularly write. @https://www.patreon.com/MageFox663?utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator

The final outfit line up! All sewn by myself, with just her book, rug, and coffee being bought. I have to admit, her hat and the dog collars may have been the hardest to make.

Sieralla's second outfit! I made three for her in total, all hand sewn. I didn't realize until after I made the belt that she has a Bubbles Utonium inspired outfit.

I made a doll of myself! Meet Sieralla, a new mascot that I'm still working on stickers for, but we do have a doll variation of. She is a half-elf mage who specializes in transmogrification. Specifically in turning herself into a fox. I even made my two dogs into dolls to accompany her.

Sorry I've been gone for so long! It's been a wild year and some months. Here are some pictures I posted of a character in one of my books on my patreon, though only $1 tiers can see his backstory. He's a vampire and villain with reach in multiple stories and has many methods to avoid being caught.

I haven't posted in a while, but I'm back with new stickers! a folkloric white Welsh cow, Gwartheg y Llyn, said to be owned by fae women called Gwregaredd Annwnn. Said to be the ancestors to the current Welsh cow, the current offspring cursed to be black because a human dared to mistreat a fae cow.

It's been an insane year! I've disappeared due to hectic happenings in life, but I plan to return in January, alongside some new products in my square space and a photoshoot of my finished doll products.

Can you Slay the Princess? I haven't played this game yet but I've been obsessed with its lore, story, and playthrough of it. There are way more variations and I'll likely make a second part. You can probably tell which ones I did a warm up drawing before and which ones I did not lol.

I'm slow on the Drawtober prompts, but I'm going to use them as inspiration rather than a set have-to-draw this year. First prompt: Candlelit Message. I decided a messenger pigeon would be best and was inspired by Cher Ami, a messenger pigeon in WWI, to make it CHUNKY.

Geez, my spelling was horrible yesterday! Note to self: double check my posts before I hit post. As for today's: Bandits begging face has picked up tricks from his border collie uncle. He stares intensely at you, which manages to make him look like a disapproving grandfather.

When Hela really wants something she will stare at you and just put her bottom jaw to show off her lower teeth. This looks can have varying levels of effect depending on if she has her normal scruffy bangs, her hair tied up, or a proper haircut.

It's been a while since I've done a sketch just to sketch, and not as a part of a larger project. Today I did a couple sketches of my dogs Hela and Bandit from memory. But with their hair done rather than left floppy like in real life, so their eyes can be seen xD

I've got a horrible habit of jumping between projects CONSTANTLY. if I'm on a singular project for too long I find I lose track and burn out faster. For the past two months I've been focusing on my writing and jumping between stories to write and edit the stories. Both original and fanfiction.

Sneak peak at a long term project I have been working on. It's not connected to my doll (who is getting her outfits finalized and seen together, dog still being painted) but has been occurring simultaneously.

Art update: While her eyes look chunky up close, they look pretty decent when she's just sitting there normally. Now to make her some new clothes, and then fix up her hair. Also: a sneak peak at me training her bangs to stay put rather than bending upwards.

My lot updates for Willow Creek and Oasis Springs. Willow Creek gained a cemetery, community lot, and a boba/thrift shop, while Oasis Springs got a vet clinic, recreation center (kid focused), and a small children's park. #sims #sims4

I've been using Sims to fight artist block. Going through and editing houses based on Neighborhood stories (adding rooms, editing, giving pet supplies), and then editing outfits and house stories. I also went in and made the empty lots into something for each neighborhood! #sims #sims4

Current fantasy goblins: Tiny green feral ppl Rowling goblins: Jewish caricatures Mythological and folklore accurate goblins: Feral children and small old men who WILL take you in a bar fight with a steel chair.

Upsides to art: you can see your work come to life and feel accomplished! Downsides to art: takes forever and requires patience. Sometimes it will fuck up and you need to make the same section over and over again until it's finally right.

Me to me. I finished editing and re-doing chapter 3/20 on a novel I've been working on for like 5 years due to constant updates. The most recent change is a response to a beta reader from years ago after accepting they're right. The chapter structure was too confusing, so I gotta overhaul it.

I am so pleased to see that numerous medical and public health organizations are suing RFK Jr. and his minions for the latter’s grotesque actions to undermine vaccination programs in the U.S. Will it work? I don’t know. But we need to do everything in our power to defend public health.

How I feel, trying to do my artsy thing while the world goes through another history book coded crisis in my lifetime.

one day I'll have a smooth art process with no gaps. Maybe sometime this month, but at least my art's still trucking! Just taking a bit to tweak everything where I want it and practicing patience.

I am offering tutoring services at $25 an hour. I can tutor in academic or creative writing alongside art theory and application. I am certified to teach any age group, from children to adults. If need be I can also offer online help! Please DM me if you would like to set up a session!

Holy Frejya. So. Much. Hair!!

Behind the scenes of the art process. I am unused to using watercolor pencils on plastic, clay, or gesso and varnished pieces so I did a study. Results found on my patron, insta, and Facebook! All with the same name!

Princess Hela's peace was broken. Mama brushed and cut her coat down for the summer and to account for all the sap outside. Now she pouts.

15 hours of sleepytime? Interrupted by parents who won't lie perfectly still. Walkies? Forced to touch grass. Brush time? Imminent. The poor Princess Hela is having such a hard morning. Will the tragedies never cease?

To go with my doll, I am also making my dogs as dolls! Luckily in the toy community some people made spaniel molds, so I could get blank ones to alter into my pups! I need to make one of them taller though as he's twice his sister's size. Follow my process at patreon.com/MageFox663

Content Warning: deconstructed doll. A large project I've been working on is a doll modification. I'm using a Draculaura Doll and changing her proportions with Epoxy Model Clay. Full process and updates can be found at my patreon! patreon.com/MageFox663

A student suggested sharks for future stickers, and while I couldn't get them ready before school ended I did make a couple sketches to try the idea.

I was sick for a whole month!! I'm sorry I disappeared, but here's to me trying to get back on track! In my efforts to get back to drawing over the month I was sick, I did a few studies of Hela sleeping next to me. As I was stuck in bed it was the most common scene.

Snow White and the Apple. Full image can be found on my patron, and early access for future pieces is available to patrons! patreon.com/MageFox663 #snowwhite #apple #magic

Some alternate pose ideas I had, plus some monk foxes.

My icon has finally been updated for the spring season! Took me long enough to choose a pose and get it made.

Pidgey growing up, getting used to its caffeine, and growing its glorious hair feathers.

The Weedle to Beedrill evolutions!

Remember that insects only need a bit of sugar mixed in with water for good energy. No need for red dye or anything fancy.

Are they Squirtle enough for your Squirtle club? What do you think they're drinking? #squirtle #wartortle #blastoise #dutchbros

Bulbasaur and their evolution line from Pokemon with tea types as they grow up. Starting with Boba for Bulba, pre-made iced tea for Ivy, then classic steeped tea from home for Venu.

A Charmander going through its stages of life (Charmeleon and Charizard) with different flavored smoothies.

This one I had difficulty with in deciding to add blood due to the hunt and to juxtapose the cuteness or not. I ultimately decided against it so it is a bit more marketable. #ermine
