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.

I have a ko-fi! If you like what I do, slide me some grocery money!

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!

for the expression thingy: SH (the bottom right one) with Faedrien! 🖤 I imagine he'd look like that if someone dared hurting his Princess ;D

Oooohhhh ho ho most defensive and protective of kitkats! Honestly I’m surprised anyone would go up against anything with that much magic that had fangs and claws attached, but I doubt his lady will have to worry for long...

As either he’ll deal with the problem or she will, either way she’ll have a very anxious kitten to deal with for the rest of the day.

Also I have a ko-fi! If you like my stuff, please feel free to help me get new pens and markers!

Nyohoho excellent choice my friend! I do love drawing the super smitten kitten, after all 💖💕✨

Sadly I accidentally soaked my keyboard when I got up to find the best lighting to take a pic of this and managed to knock over my drink onto my computer for the first time in my life. Let’s... just never speak of me being a walking disaster, shall we?

Also pls pray that I did not in fact wreck my keyboard I can’t afford to replace it. 😫

Well since I love you and there’s also two EEs, PLUS I need to practice drawing cats for a commission I’ve got I did both💖 SO PLEASE ENJOY TINY GREMLIN CATDAD, I am overly fond of making him out like one of those almost-furless wrinklebeasts, it delights me. Just, tiny smelly wrinkle monster who will slay anyone that damages his kitten even if he spends all his time giving his kitten a hard time. The worst. A smelly boy.

I have a ko-fi! If you like what I do, anything is appreciated!

Blue R, Pink T on the expression grid. And Chat. :3

SO THE ONE DOWNSIDE is there’s more than one but I figured what the heck why not do both. More Catson teeth is always fine too, you know? ALSO CAN I JUST SAY I draw older Chat so much that it was fun making him look small and soft and extra fluffy. Feels so good!

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!

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 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 here on tumblr, and here on 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.

Anonymous asked:

I'm so glad you brought back fanfiction friday, it's such a great way to give newer writers in the fandom a boost! My recommendation is one that I think you, in particular, might like - it's a Fairytale AU called "Prince Charming" by Miniminou (on AO3), and it's one of the most creative takes on that theme I've ever seen. It's angsty, fluffy and has fantastic characterization. Mainly Marichat with a strong DJWifi subplot!

FAIRY TALE AU?!

I’M THERE.

IM GONE

BYEEEEEEEEEEEEEE *RUNS AWAY*

Also anon how do you know me so well? I love you! But also am I that basic/transparent? XD I’m probably ok with it tbh.

EEEEEEEEEEEEE

I’m so happy with how they turned out, they look the very definition of “she’s beauty, she’s grace…”

{Anyway, they are from the fic Iron Kissed by @mini-minou and if you like fairy tale AUs, wild boi adriens, and Marinettes that can flirt adrien up/ ladynoir banter in adrinette then please check out their works}

Oh my gosh these are so good??? Lemme just....snap my pencils and go work on my art some more in a remote cave until it’s better because these are just amazing. I’m absolutely in love with the vibrant colors and the gorgeous design of Alya’s outfit. I cannot even begin to handle how lovely these are. Absolutely stunning, I’ve died from how pretty these are.

Not because I post too much NSFW content, but because I post too much borderline content 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!

so Paradise California is gone

i haven’t seen any noise about this on tumblr yet, but a fire has completely wiped out a small town in california.

they’re calling it the camp fire. over 20,000 residents have been evacuated so far, the last area estimates i heard were over an hour ago at 18,000 acres and its still zero percent contained.

this is the smoke from about 18 miles away from the fire three hours ago. if you know anyone near chico, paradise, oroville or durham california you might want to check they’re okay

UPDATE: 4PM FRI NOV. 9, 2018

the fire has completely walked over paradise, magalia, and much of the rest of butte county. it’s under 10% containment and moving towards chico, which was been mostly evacuated as well. it’s been documented as one of the top 20 deadliest fires seen in california. i know many of the people personally whose lives have been destroyed by this fire. my aunt and uncle’s home, of whom we’re very close to, was demolished last night, same goes for family friends and others who lived in paradise– which is completely gone. there are 5 confirmed deaths, several dozen missing people.

EVACUATION SITES STILL OPEN AS OF 1 HOUR AGO:

  • Butte County Fairgrounds (199 E Hazel St, Gridley, CA 95948)
  • Yuba-Sutter Fairground (442 Franklin Ave, Yuba City, CA 95991)
  • Glenn County Fairgrounds (221 E Yolo St, Orland, CA 95963)
  • Chester Memorial Hall (22 Gay Street, Chester)

HOW TO HELP/DONATE:

  1. “Currently the best way to contribute is to make a monetary donation via the North Valley Community Foundation website.” -abc7news.com
  2. “Supplies: Hope Center in Oroville (1950 Kitrick Ave Ste. A) is taking donations. Hours: Friday and Saturday 8 a.m. - 5 p.m., Sunday 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. Needs: warm clothes, shoes, socks, coats (primarily for elderly residents).” -abc7news.com

the majority of those affected by the fire in paradise were elderly people. and having known paradise and magalia myself for years, it’s not a wealthy part of california. these people will need help, and lots of it.

if you have any questions, you can message me personally or seek information online or from the above references personally.

if you cannot help yourself, please spread the word and reblog. so many wonderful people are going through a terrible thing and need your help.

They sent pipe bombs to Obama, Clinton, CNN, and a major Democratic donor. They marched through the streets chanting “Jews will not replace us.” They jailed and brutalized and outright killed Black protesters. They ran a woman down with a car for protesting their hateful rhetoric.

They threatened from the start to resort to violence if they didn’t get their way, and then got their way…and resorted to violence anyway. They are the purveyors of a body of politics that sees most of us as subhuman and undeserving of life, and actively works toward our destruction.

Remember that during this election.

This is not a matter of choosing the “lesser evil”. This is flawed politicians vs. actual fucking terrorists. This is human failings vs. inhumanity. This is not being progressive enough vs. silencing the opposition with violence.

No fucking contest. Get out and vote.

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.
