Between the no sleep save for an hour nap and a case of the hand tremors I think this turned out pretty okay!

IGNORE WHAT I SAID ON MY REBLOG I was so tired I forgot this draft existed a ha h a haaaaaaa still sleep deprived please send help.


I have a Ko-fi page! If you like my art or writing, please leave a tip! There’s less than two weeks until I’m getting moved out, and every bit counts.

This one feels less spooky and more cyberpunk but oh well. I’m kinda loving how it turned out anyways! I have shaking hands and a headache but I do what I want!

reblogging because I think this was another case of midnight art stuff? EITHER WAY there wasn’t one yesterday because I was running on absolutely no sleep for most of the day

I’m not dead yet but between cleaning and purging I am tired. Doesn’t help the wrist pain has been as active as ever. Either way have a thing, it’s almost one in the morning and I need sleep badly.

Two weeks to the day until moving day, I’m not ready. I need to scramble to look for a job, but I just want to sleep.

Another day another scribble of too many eyes and teeth. Maybe these Spooktember sketches won’t be half as similar when I’m not running on four hours of sleep at night. One day sleep will be attainable again!


I have a Ko-fi page! If you like my art or writing, please leave a tip! I just found out I have three weeks to pack up my stuff before I’m getting moved out, and every bit counts.

Spooktember day three, went back to my roots of using ballpoint pens which I don’t think I’ve regularly used to ink anything in nearly twenty years? A solid fifteen at the very least. But considering I’m barely coherent on four hours of sleep and a heavy dose of allergy medicine I think I did pretty okay.

Spooktember day two! I’m gonna make this a thing, I’m super determined! No it doesn’t always have to be too many eyeballs and teeth that’s just my jam. I’m getting my horrorcore on one eyeball and extra mouth at a time

Also how in the hay is everyone doing the rainbow text thing I feel so out of the loop.

So everyone pretty much knows by now that I’ve gotten sucked into Miraculous Ladybug pretty hard by now, and today’s the third anniversary of the show’s release. I’ve only been in this fandom since mid-May, but I’m going to have some real talk for a bit because I actually have a lot I owe to this fandom and series as a whole.

When I stumbled over Ladybug, I was actually ready to give up art completely for physical health and mental reasons. I’ve been struggling for years with a situation that’s made art less something I loved and more something that I was punished for doing. It was a chore that gave me anxiety every time it was mentioned. I had grown stagnant, I didn’t like anything I made, and I’d already given up writing completely. It was the lowest I’d been in a long time and I was done. I found this show on one of my worst days when I was out for three days with a migraine that wouldn’t go away, and within a week everything had turned around.

Suddenly I was devouring as much as I could get my hands on, I was pulling all-nighters reading when I hadn’t read for fun in ages, I was finding loads of amazing new artists that inspired me to push through my slump and love what I made. It was a huge difference for me, and I haven’t felt this good about my work in nearly ten years. So as sappy as this is, I want to thank this fandom for giving back something I thought I’d never see again; my love for what I create and pride in what I make. And knowing that even if only a few people stumble over my work, there’s someone out there who truly loves what I do.

So in honor of the anniversary, I’m going to do a shout to the people that made a huge impact in bringing my art and writing back from its early grave.

@mini-minou@sacchariwrites@mogwai1988@saijspellhart@scribblingmama@eikatsukiyomi@seasonofthegeek@siderealscribblings@whimstories@purrincess-chat@thenovelartist@xiueryn@lnc2@baneismydragon@frostedpuffs@kawaii-keke-chan@mari-cheres and a huge thank you to @nostalgiasquee for taking my writing and beating them into shape so I can post them, as well as a dozen other authors that I’m pretty sure I’ve either forgotten their handles or I just don’t know where to find them, but one of these days I’m just going to compile an absolutely monsterous list of stories that I fell in love with in my insane quest to completely devour every fic in the Ladybug tag.

And the artists in this fandom are absolutely stunning people, and I wish I could list everyone but I’m still finding new people every day that I need to watch. So to the people who are as new as I am or just don’t know this fandom, I’m going to throw down some names of people that make me want my art to be better. These people are incredibly talented and do absolutely adorable work, and y’all need to go check them out because I can’t do any of them justice.

@buggachat@itskeitronic@hchano@sweet-childhood-dreams@edorazzi@ceejles@australet789@bsy1235422@miracu-less@ladyblargh@carolgpr@taylordraws@artistalyway

And again I am so, so sure I forgot a million names but this fandom is absolutely stellar with the things they make, and I can’t even begin to list the tip of the iceburg. So, as someone who is getting better a little every day, I want to say thank you to everyone who makes content in this fandom. I might not have found everything, but what I have seen is absolutely inspiring and has done so much to help me want to improve and get past my own slumps. See you all when the next episodes drop!

And as always, stay shiny!

I’m going to be moving out before the end of October! So I either have to donate a ton of stuff or generally dispose of it since I’m going from having my own room to sleeping on a couch until further notice.

Which means I have some video games and plushes that need new homes!

Though I do have my Ko-fi page as well if you’d prefer not to deal with shipping or simply want to slide a couple dollars my way. For larger ko-fi donations I’m more than happy to do small sketches or one-shot fics!

Keep reading

Final Fantasy IV/Final Fantasy1 & 2 combo pack is sold! Everything else is still up for grabs. Will probably put up sales for my Okami and MLP:FiM merch overstock from when I used to do conventions as well in the near future.

I don’t have a box for Final Fantasy 1, so I’ve been keeping it in the Final Fantasy IV case. All of these games have been gently used, or were already pre-owned when I got them. Everything is $10 or best offer, plus shipping.

I need to work on my upward angles, they always seem fine when I’m drawing the eyes and then things go squirrelly on me. Still I think I have a better feel for him than before but he might end up with a facelift again at some point since he doesn’t feel quite right yet. But what’s really getting to me is his facial design looks really familiar and I can’t place why. Probably why he’ll get a facelift.

Tired of the Nonsense seems to be a reoccurring theme among the party members, but the Rogue is exhausted from the beginning. Sent to the fortress to assassinate the supposedly evil Overlord, he ends up getting proverbially strong-armed into being her first recruit instead. This ends up being one of the Healer’s favorite facts to drag up during campfire meals, heckling him for not getting paid nearly enough and not even being able to finish the job. Considering the consequences of what might have happened if he hadfinished the job and let her council members loose with a demon possession, he is fairly certain he’d rather be dragged along if it means the whole countryside doesn’t end up a magically corrupted wasteland.

After all, no one can get paid or gets new jobs if all the potential employers are thralls, now can they? Still, he seems almost unnaturally even-tempered if a little dour, and it raises a few suspicions among the other party members that not all is well with the man, though he does keep his opinions to himself.

The party healer. They’re the type of healer that will drag you for anything ridiculous that you’ve done, is the biggest gossip amongst the party (very helpful in towns, they know where to dig up the dirt), and they are always first person to say “hold my beer” before starting shenanigans. Is 100% in the group for no other reason than shits and giggles and because by the time they’re done making sure none of the rest of the party dies they’re going to have some hilarious stories to tell back at the temple. Is nonbinary/ace but will be the one trying to set the antisocial Overlord up with a hot date because obviously this nerd is too dumb to be able to figure out relationships on her own and needs a head start.

Mostly because they know trying to get this bookworm to figure out romance is going to be hilariousand likely be disastrous before she figures out which way is up. Teases her about it regularly.

Ends up being the Overlord’s best friend in spite of everyone’s common sense. Still working out clothing designs, but their robes will likely end up being white with green and gold accents.

Slowly my hands are recovering so here is the Overlord from an original story that may or may not ever become a finished thing. Hopefully it will, one day.

She’s Small and Tired and just wants to go home and read her books and cuddle her Spooky Bone Dogs but instead she’s out putting together a band of misfit adventurers to take down the idiots in her council circle that went full nonsense and decided it’d be a great day to be possessed by demons. She just needs a nap and people to stop trying to blow up her fortress when she’s trying to study, she can’t keep asking the townsfolk to help rebuild whenever some wandering sells-sword thinks it’s a great idea to assassinate the local scholar because someone thought she needed to be called “overlord” just because her fortress has an Aesthetic.

Fave face is the lower left. She’s Very Tired.

That feel when you go to check your activity feed and it’s full of replies to other people’s posts I AM SO CONFUSED tumblr those posts aren’t even for me I just happened to comment??? To a popular post??? Why are you like this.

In other news: I probably won’t be getting anything done today because migraine town. My gosh I don’t know how people with chronic pain function mine isn’t even that bad it’s just annoying all the time but these headaches. The headaches can go. They’re the worst I lose entire days. So instead here I am reblogging because I’m actually rather proud of that soft fluffy hair. She looks so cuddly. Just. The maximum amount of poof. Probably doesn’t have a tight enough curl to turn it to locks but she’s got extreme fluff action. Now I just need to feel human enough to draw the rest of the Squad.

Hmmm, do I make a post about my fic too? I have been feeling pretty good about where that’s been going. Maybe after I sleep.

SO I AM A HUGE DINGUS and completely forgot to post this Good Boy whose design I absolutely love who belongs to @saijspellhart who is incredibly patient and understanding, though I did send her the pic as soon as it was done since I’m not a complete disaster just yet.

I love him so very much and I wanted to draw him right, and trying to fit him onto a page so I could show off all the fun bits of his design was an experience. I love everything about him, so I was determined to do him justice, but my favorite parts are absolutely the toebeans and his claws. Though I am also particularly proud of his floof and soft-looking snoot as well. I could yell about this all day, in spite of the exhaustion. PLEASE ENJOY THIS HANDSOME BOY and go send love to Saij who is wonderful.

Back from my exile because I finished another commission for @saijspellhart and it turned out amazin

Back from my exile because I finished another commission for @saijspellhart and it turned out amazing!It’s been so long since I’ve been this happy about how a piece turned out that I’m practically vibrating in my seat. The past few months have been rough, I’m still looking for a job, but between the embroidery on her capris, his toe beans, and Tikki’s tiny little scales, I couldn’t be more pleased with how this looks. I’m just. So hyped you guys. So hyped!

Hiya! Recently I was given permission to color the wonderful commission that @art-of-zirio made for @saijspellhart. I was really captured by his design and asdfgkshgjsg I really wanted to color him ٩(♡ε♡ )۶. Thank you both for allowing me to do this!! :D

Can I just say this was the first time anyone’s asked me to color one of my pieces and how in love I am with how it turned out??? Gorgeous! I’m so excited, the fluffy boy looks amazing! Original commission was for @saijspellhart!


I have a ko-fi! I’m still looking for a job since my move back in September, so if you like what I do, anything is appreciated!

I have returned from my exile to bring you more art for Iron Kissed written by the amazing @mini-minou! (Warning: fic is rated Mature for a variety of reasons) No these aren’t spoilers, I promise, I just wanted to draw ship art and then someone asked for a tutorial on how to draw Faedrien’s squishy feets but I kept getting derailed on that so I’ll likely have to do it again. Oh no. Draw more catboys, whatever will I do.

I’m so proud of how Chat looks in the second pic, and the armor in the first one just turned out so pretty. UGH. I was feeling it!

/Drops out of the void to post new Chat art, is anyone surprised.

Commissions done for the amazingly wonderful @saijspellhart! I had a fantastic time working on these, so thank you!


SO THERE’S ACTUALLY A FUNNY STORY TO THESE, I read the amazing fic Velvet Soft (found hereon tumblr, and hereon Ao3, warning for mature content!), and then I got commissioned and I almost screamed from excitement?? Because Saij’s work is such an inspiration and THAT PENCIL ART IS LIFE GOALS like??? Hhhhhffffff. But yes anyways I am ridiculously happy with how these both turned out, though apparently the scanner I use is STILL determined to wash out half my shading, but I made it work. It was unbelievably fantastic to get asked to do art for one of my role models, and when I was told to just draw the character however I want, I knew exactly what to do. Art for my fave fics of course! I’m shameless, I know, but I couldn’t resist.

Not because I post too much NSFW content, but because I post too much borderlinecontent between the body horror and the pinup style art that I tend to draw most often. That and Tumblr has never been a good fit for me, but I’ve never found a place that really felt like home. I absolutely adore the creators I’ve met through Tumblr and I’m loathe to leave, but if you’re looking for my art, it won’t be here anymore.

Best places to find me at the moment:

  • INSTAGRAM - Mostly finished pieces or sketches I’m proud of
  • TWITTER - Barren at the moment but will likely be where the WIPs get posted
  • KO-FI - Currently my only source of income while I try to find a job post-move
  • AO3- All my writing, so if you came looking for fic, this is the place to keep track! Will likely be posting original works here in the future as well

Until further notice these are the only social media sites I really update, but I’m hoping to make a pillowfort or another blog page of some sort in the near future. Maybe one day when my health improves I’ll set up a Patreon, but until then stay shiny, starshines!

I HAVE RETURNED now that I have officially finished moving (if not unpacking). SO HERE HAVE A VERY BELATED ACTUAL CAT CHAT while I’m busy kicking my heaps of things into the darkest corners and finding where all my extra sketchbooks were squirreled away by past me. I am incredibly tempted to ink this, but I need to give my hands a few more days to rest because I feel like I’ve been doing nothing but moving ridiculously heavy boxes for days and my limbs are half-liquefied even after two days of just sorting papers.

A DESIGN OF FAE!CHAT NOIR for the ever-lovely @mini-minou‘s fic Iron Kissed which is fabulous and I highly recommend it and not at all because I’m biased I swear.

ALSO CAN I JUST SAY I LOVE HOW HIS FEET AND TAIL TURNED OUT they look magnificently soft and squishy which pleases me greatly.

Spooktember scribbles, dropping a bunch to kinda make up for missed days. Just Aerith getting ready to throw hands with the usual people like Don Corneo, plus some creeperfaced Ardyn. I won’t lie, if they tone down Aerith and make her all Soft Aesthetic for the remake I’m going to be so disappointed. Not surprised, because well, boys and their TOKEN WAIFUS, but very disappointed. She was one of the things that made that trainwreck of a game bearable.

Also been gone because I thought I was moving out this weekend! Turns out my roomie got invited on a mini vacation on Wednesday and is gone for the weekend and I’m watching their spootlet. To say I did not take this news well is a mild understatement but I managed to reschedule some of my friends helping me move to next week and requested an extra week at my job. Luckily my boss let me stay on another week or I’d have been…a lot more down about what happened than I already am. BUT ENOUGH ABOUT THAT have some spoops.

I’m spamming because I’m a putz and didn’t realize there was a backlog because I’m running on maybe seven hours of sleep over the last three days it’s hilarious and awful and I’m not quite at the phase of wanting to die but my hands are still shaking a bit. So there’s that! But I feel almost totally human at this point.

Not sure if this is a female monster bug or just…indefinite. Does it really matter anyways?

Still lots of teeth but at least there’s only two eyeballs.
