given Recent Events:tm: I’m looking into setting up a Pillowfort and/or perhaps a Bluesky account. I would probably still post here, but likely only preview images, the way I’ve seen some people do with their patreons. I’m also trying to get a WebGlaze account, since I’m hearing that a certain reprehensible someone has struck a deal with Midjourney to sell art data to them and frankly fuck that. Once I have everything set up wherever else I go, I’ll do a pinned post.

All right, y'all. Shit's looking increasingly dire around here, so I went and made a Pillowfort. Still haven't made up my mind on a Bluesky, though I might make one of those just to keep up with other artists I like who've gone over there.

It's not gonna be strictly fanart over there, I'm gonna post my original stuff there too. I'm not sure if it does multiple blogs the way tumblr does, but that's a future me problem.

Saw the meme cross my dash the other day and since I’m blessed w the ability to draw beefcakes in bunny suits, I did just that. Top character is Aellan from my fantasy western @sacredandlost, bottom character is my men’s tits wizard Finlay, who I’ve never posted here so everyone say hello. The peanut gallery ogling them are their respective husbands/boyfriends.

i’ve decided i feel the same way abt typing up a handwritten draft as i do inking/doing lineart: i don’t like it

only slightly related: contemplating making a blog for the fantasy western, stick like inspo stuff and maybe some art if i can make myself draw again and whining abt my process on it. should prob get a title for it first tho huh

Holy fuck I might have the first draft of the fantasy western done by the end o the week?? All I have left is a scene I skipped earlier bc it wouldn’t come out when I started it. I’ve been working on that thing for like a year and a half, it almost feels weird to be this close to the end. There’s still a lot to do to it, edits and revisions and such, but I’ll have told the whole story.

Fuck, lads

today i learned u can post novels on tapas *eyes emoji*

this is important news to me bc ive got two i’ve been working on for the better part of a year or more and i haven’t had any idea what to do w them--i don’t want to post them here bc this place is so hostile to creators these days, i don’t want them on amazon, i somehow doubt traditional publishers will take a chance on me, and i don’t want to just sit on them and never show them to anyone except my bf. its smth i’ve been thinking more abt lately, bc one of them looks like it might actually let me finish it?? the other one is struggling in the weeds bc covid anxiety nerfed my ability/willingness to work on it (it’s abt a pandemic lmao i started it in fucking 2018 thanks very fucking much) so that ones real *shrug* rn.

(tbh i feel like i’m in over my head w the pandemic novel and have been for a long time, so like. that might be a ‘put in a box until i’m worthy of it’ idea. like neil gaiman and ‘the graveyard book’. or was it ‘ocean at the end of the lane’. idk he did that w one o his books. anyway i’m not bothered by the thought of having to do that since i want to do it properly, especially now that i’ve experienced a pandemic for real.)

anyway novels on tapas. yes. might be how i publish this thing. maybe if it gets enough attention (he says, laughing into his shoulder) i’ll shop it around to print publishers, bc i’d rly love to see a book i’ve written on a store shelf. we’ll see. i gotta actually finish the thing first lmao

So this dude originally was intended to be a lost boys oc, but ended up being. Not that. Idk who he is/if I’ll ever use him anywhere, but he was fun to draw. His ‘tom’s man’ patch is a Tom of Finland reference.
