You can also hire me to draw a thing, if you want.

I'll return...with art soon 🫶🏻 Wish me luck on my art journey

Tik Tok has been a valuable tool for on the ground citizen reporting so not judging anyone who decides to stay but my active accounts in Feb. will be 1. Blue Sky (Art/Shows/Opinions) 2. Ko-Fi (for Patrons) 3. YouTube (vid uploads 4 Ko-Fi) 4. Pix Post (Travel/Tourism) 5. Twitch (after I learn OBS)

I logged on to Tik Tok today, saw the new Terms of Agreement, hit exit instead of agree and deleted the app for now. My account is on pause until either the Terms of Agreement change or the Trump Admin is no longer around.

This seems pretty cool. 📬💌 I might try it out soon..ish. 🤔 youtu.be/FVuSbAp8K9c?...

What I’m working on today

Put some respect on the doctor of the Straw Hats 🦌💙 fan art love for Chopper #OnePiece #Chopper #AnimeArt

I wish there was an app for artists & commissioners similar to Rover's set up for pet owners & sitters. The format is like it was designed to help those of us w ADHD succeed. The way dates are 🟥d on a 🗓️, rewarding rapid responses to inquiries, 1-5 ⭐ reviews, still get 1/2 pay💲if a cancelation etc.

Finally got my this #wip I posted about earlier cleaned up. I saw some other artists doing the #MeettheArtist "About Me" hashtag and thought doing one of my own would make for a great introduction/pinned post. Commission details hot link: ko-fi.com/chateaudemag... 🧸🪷📚 hot link: a.co/d/2VNNotR

I don't want to carry as much anger as I held in the past. The Monks doing the walk for peace have been really inspiring. There's some ppl though who just need to stay far away from me and I will do the same for them.

There's so many ppl that I'm angry with. Supposed lefties that say they want equality but their actions just don't match. Anyone from any party that used divisive tactics to get more ad revenue at the expense of the rest of us. Those who pushed the slogan "unity" as a way to smother legit criticism.

Everytime DJT does something that escalates conflict or sabotages his own movements supposed goals I can't help but think: This is who some of you sided with over those of us who said "Please don't. We don't want to lose our autonomy." But I was crazy, stuck up and paranoid for being wary of him? 😮‍💨

Day 3 of uploading the finished version of #wip I posted about in December either here or on #kofi (ko-fi.com/chateaudemagie) These are all characters that appear in the #BhaluAdventures Comic Issue #2 I'm working on now with @mystik-rebel.bsky.social and @lightamatch.bsky.social

Day 2 of posting all my finished #wip art from December. In-between working on commissions and comic pages I thought I'd sketch #Alastor from #hazbinhotel for fun. This scene... 😏

Happy New Year! 🎇🎊🎠 Trying to stick to my resolution to upload my finished works now that it's 2026. I'm starting with this #artcommission #artprocess vid from start to finish. It's for a regular at a Metaphysical #coffeeshop we both frequent. (Watch vid for details) 🔽 youtu.be/fWHy9rTdQWM?...

I was resolute on this but it got so busy this week. I only managed to stick to the part where I take pictures of my progress everyday. I hear it takes about 2 weeks to form new habits so hopefully I'll get this resolution down by #NewYears 😅⏳🎊 Progress pics are on ☕ now: ko-fi.com/i/IT6T71RBRD1

librarians should run the country

hmmm sounds like something a librarian would say

noticing a distinct lack of TRANSGENERS in the epstein files.,..

I'll be uploading drawing #WIP everyday now either on ☕ or here on 🩵🦋 until New Years. Once the clock turns past midnight and it's officially 2026 I'll post the finished versions of all the progress pics. See details on works in progress and get fun member perks 🎁 at: ko-fi.com/chateaudemag...

can we all make deviantart style IDs that list our likes and dislikes and have an epic drawing of ourselves please

My new book, CAULIFLOWER, COLONIES, & TAYLOR BELL, TOO, features over 40 llustrations & info on the characters from my novels. Gurest artist Stephanie Chateau (@chateaudemagie.bsky.social) supplied two illustrations of her own. #cauliflowercoloniesandtaylorbelltoo #illustratedbook #davidkoukol

Addendum: don't want my vague venting to be unwelcoming or be misconstrued. If I follow you or we're moots I'm not talking about you. I was tempted to list personal experiences to "prove it" but I'm not mad at them. It's the "bros" who try to blame women if/when it goes south. It's creep behavior.

Guys who quote Carlin to imply rich guys don't hit on poor women (Gaetz), or powerful guys don't hit on followers (Musk), or popular guys don't hit on "nobodies" (♾️ examples) know we know they're lying right? Is it intentional gas lighting or a defensive mechanism to feel justified in what they do?

I feel like a house that for years had hidden damage and rotted on the inside from it. At first I just painted over it and hung curtains. Eventually I had to gut and redo the foundation. It's finally coming along but the exp gained to achieve it has caused this house to be haunted even renovated. 🙇🏻‍♀️

Recently I had my 1st run in w a troll here accusing me of hitting on his gf to force engagement or come off dodging accusations. Idk them and turns out he was a pervert but those who know me know my taste. For those who don't if you don't match the Qs in the alt text you're barking up the wrong 🌳.

Reposting a few things before my next updates. I want some troll deterrents in place before inviting anymore Tik Tok mutuals over. Prob unnecessary since BlueSky has been pretty chill compared to when I still had an account on Twitter but I'd like it to stay that way. Better prepped then wrecked. 🧳🕺🏻

I made this 🦋 account more for art then for being a political #AntonEgo but I'm hearing rumors that the Trump Admin may have a deal with #tiktok going through. JIC, I thought I'd save a back up archive of my "stories" from there and use alt text to expand past the original TT character limitations.

This'll be my last #Inktober #prompt upload since it's relevant today. I ❤️d how #ZohranMamdani did fun events like this. Despite deciding awhile ago I didn't like making politics art focused on ppl over policies I figured why not? If 1 candidate does well on transport issues others might follow!

Last day attempting #Inktober catch up. I've a few more prompts in pencil but unless I snap out of this sleepy state later tonight this might be it. Pleased to have done more then last time I tried (7). I wanted to double it though. (14) 11. Sting: #Brahmari #KamaDeva (See Alt Text for details)

#Inktober2025 #おジャ魔女どれみ #OjamajoDoremi

Trying my next #Inktober2025 catch up post as a set of 2 instead of 4 since it annoyed me that 3/4 characters heads were cut off in the thumbnails of my last #5-8. I want to see if it helps to do 2 or 3 at a time instead. Theme: #WelcomeHome 9. Heavy: #Barnaby #EddieDear 10. Sweep: #JulieJoyful 🧹🦋

Back with more #Inktober I ended up coloring more #prompts to match the 1st set since me & @mystik-rebel.bsky.social 's char #BabaBhalu is riding Saraswati and I think the symbolism would be lost if not colored. 5. Deer: #Rohit🦌 6. Pierce: #Durga 🪔 7. Starfish: #Amelia 🌟 8. Reckless #LinaInverse

A late delivery but here comes my #Inktober creations for '25. I'll be posting 4 at a time until I'm all caught up. It'll be a mix of #fanart and original characters to the #Inktoberprompts starting with... 1. Mustache: #WallyWackford 2. Weave: #Zestial 3. Crown: #Kinger 4. Murky: #Queenie #TADC

Note: This is not me hinting I'm literally pregnant by reposting this. Literalists gossiping though are hilarious. You can kind of piece together how they connected each dot to come to the conclusion they did and you can't even stay mad because you're just like "Bless your heart". 😏💕

It's gotten to the point that if i see novel videos on social media, my first instinct is "meh probably ai". I wonder if one result of ai videos is that people will become so distrustful of all videos that they will increasingly seek out experiences IRL.

Been multi tasking a lot this week and finally have a break to catch up on the prompts for #Inktober this year. I'm 17 days behind though so going to pulse posts at a speed that lets me catch up but isn't too fyp/feed spammy. PS - See ALT text if my voice is hard to hear for life updates.

I've finished more commissions. This time @koukolwriterartist.bsky.social 's #TaylorBell in 2 new poses. 1 in her uniform from "The Illustrated Taylor Bell" you can get on Amazon. The others her donating blood since it's an important cause to him. See the inking process at ko-fi.com/chateaudemagie

Better to love & lose then just lose. Right? Incredible migraine & nausea trying to convince me otherwise. Not posting to be dramatic but to hold myself accountable. I shouldn't be seeing anyone til I'm emotionally regulated enough where I'm not compromising my boundaries for hits of validation.

I dropped off an #artcommission for a happy couples anniversary yesterday. If you'd like a commission like this details on how are on my Ko-Fi: ko-fi.com/chateaudemagie Also, I happened to be wearing my @mtscomics.bsky.social "Fight! Artists Fight!" Shirt. If you want one like it check MTS out!

I did a mini test with my new #PixelPro10 to see how much detail it picks up when I do drawing process vids. I was shocked at how much higher the quality is then my old phone. I was also feeling a little shy about speaking loudly while filming in a random public place so put subtitles in alt text.

I've seen the "nice guy" who's really not nice and gives it away by having such an entitled vibe, is a pretty common experience. Just want to shout out how much I adore the less common "sassy guys" that are secretly sweet and feel safe to be around from having such an opposite vibe.

Sometimes you get what you wish 4 but everything's rearranged 2 where you think you're experiencing disaster at 1st. This has been a repeating theme 4 me of loss followed by an upgrade and my nerdy ass can only think of Link to the Past Fairy Pond as a metaphor. 🧚 ("Honest Woodcutter" 4 Aesop fans)

Thanks to the #108 folks who have followed me here. I feel like I haven't done enough on this accnt to have earned it but I'm appreciative nonetheless. Update: Snapped some pics w my sis @ the #CocaColaMuseum before I head back to Bham. I'd tag her but she stays off SM cuz she's smarter than me. :p
