The audio in this video is a portion of Nona the Ninth written by Tamsyn Muir, read by Moira Quirk. It's the third book in the Locked Tomb series. I usually edit out the audio on these videos but I left it in this time because I laughed at the way this part lined up with the recording.

DEJ is coming back around again! If you aren't familiar with my month long drawing challenge please check out its homepage on my site for the details. But basically: a pose every weekday for a month and you draw them all. ⭐
Honestly June is gunna be a little nuts with both DEJ and my Pride Fundraiser at the same time BUT HEY - IT'S FINE. Let's just do everything all at the same time, OKAY!? Okay. 😁✨
Here's a ZIP with all the DEJ poses. They will be coming up one at a time on weekdays on AdorkaStock.com but you get a head start! 😉 Happy drawing!
SPECIAL NOTE: You are getting advanced access to the poses because you are a Patron! This gives you extra time to complete the challenge but PLEASE PLEASE do not post your art or the poses online publicly anywhere until they are published on the DEJ page linked above.
A new pose will be posted every M-F at 6AM Eastern for the month of June.
Just a little silly set, I hope you can have fun!

Hope there's something fun in here for you! Ty so much for your support. ♥ Happy drawing!
Hey all! I got into the studio yesterday for a half an hour and I was able to record 7 videos. 🥳 Here's one with lots of reaching in various ways for 3 min. Download from Vimeo.
My arms felt like trash after that so I stuffed them back into my arm prisons. 🥹
Happy to say the arms are feeling better every day so as long as I keep up with bracing and stretching and my routine of anti-inflammatories I should be back to 100% in a few weeks. Frustrating but 🤷🏻♀️ I did do it to myself!
Reminder to stretch and rest regularly because if you don't your body will make you. 🙃 For lots of helpful tips about dealing with RSI check out the RSI archive on Mind Body Artist.
ICYMI The Handy Hand Books came back in stock on Tuesday and more than half the inventory has already sold. 😬 I have underestimated the need for HANDS. 🤣 There's 16 left if you wanna grab one.

Hey all! I've been working on continuing to streamline my pose reference work and balance my responsibilities with art and family.
I was recently diagnosed with double CMC joint arthritis and I'm in hand braces for minimum 3 weeks before I can start OT. 😭✌🏻 This has taken my already tight schedule and squeezed it uncomfortably tighter.
Going forward I am going to have the following schedule in place for this Patreon (see helpful image attached as well!) to keep me g-g-g-going!!
Things that are staying the SAME:
- 1st of the month: 8 new poses for all Patrons
- Every 6-8 weeks: new themed packs for $2.50+ Patrons
- Free mini set each month (2+ images in a theme)
- Free pose once per month
- 30+ monthly download for $5+ Patrons
Things that are changing:
- The public is now able to get to vote in themed pack polls! I'm hoping by encouraging public participation in these polls I might lure some new people in each time their pack wins 😉
- Video posts will be once a month. I am completely out of my buffer and I need to do a shoot this month to replenish. The Video Collection is now flush with over 80 video refs and slowing this pace down will help me tremendously. I am also moving some older videos to my YouTube.
- Approx. once per quarter: promotional themed pack for ALL Patrons! I'm going to try to increase the frequency of these from "sometimes" to once per quarter to both reward existing Patrons for their continued support and encourage people to upgrade.
So that's everything! If you have any questions please let me know. And thank you SO MUCH for your support!! 🥰
The recent poll twirled Dancer Ariel ahead of the crowd! This 75 image pack includes 51 land photos and 24 underwater photos of a fit, female, Asian model in dynamic gestures.
SURPRISE! I dug into the archive and pulled some underwater Ariel photos to beef up this themed pack. 🥰
This pack is included for all Patrons $2.50+ and will be in the Kofi Shop on March 17th for $5.
Thank you SO MUCH for your support! Looking forward to the art you make with this super fun pack!

I haven't finished editing the shoot yet but I promised a peek at Tom and his motorcycle "this weekend" so here I am sneaking it in. More to come! 🏍️💨
As always, Patrons can look forward to seeing a bit more of Tom than everyone else for a little while. 😉✨

2024-02-10 13:00:01 +0000 UTC View PostIt sounds like I'm on for my first Not-Me shoot of the year tomorrow night with a young, strong motorcycle rider!! 🏍️✨
He's got some sports bikes and we'll be shooting in his basement so he won't actually be riding but he's a super experienced racer and we think we can get a lot of cool shots.
LEAVE SUGGESTIONS HERE!
Props I plan to bring:
- katana
- staff
- handgun, nerf gun
- bow and arrow (a little weird on a bike, but???)
- bat
- hats
Themes I hope to get:
- casual riding/standing
- dynamic riding (as much as we can fake it)
- leaning/cool
- dramatic reaching
- weapons/action
- maybe some cool lighting if I can manage it
- fixing/mechanic
- low/high perspective
- back poses
- pin up (DONT KNOW IF HE'S WILLING TO DO THIS 💀)
- the "akira slide" from any possible angles
- packing/attaching things?
I will be available as a second model though we don't know each other super well yet so idk if the vibes will be right but we'll see!! :D
Potential Two Model Add Ons:
- riding together
- standing vs sitting (various moods happy, mad, sad, etc)
- chasing after/reaching
- fighting
Also: Hey free members!! I had some setting turned on so you couldn't comment on free posts like this one. Oops I'm sorry! I fixed that now so any post you can see you should be able to comment on now. 🙏🏻✨
Hey all! I'm dealing with a troublesome RSI right now and I need to take time off my art side of things to rest and heal so I am probably going to do some catching up on pose ref work.
Fortunately modelling doesn't really anger the thumbs too much so I'm probably going to do at least one or two shoots this week to catch up on requests, maybe make some new packs, and yay! do some new video refs!
Here's my ideas list for videos. Let me know if there's anything you think I should add. 👀
Also: how often do you use the video refs? I love making them and I think they're really cool for getting those 'in between' poses. Do you all find yourself checking them out for inspiration?
Video Ideas:
I have made a wish list of models I'd like to hire this year. I wont get them all but I didn't add much new last year so I'm crossing my fingers this year things will pan out better.
Already got a BFF Twink on board for a shoot later in the spring and I'm in touch with a local martial arts place. I'm seriously considering putting up a call for models at the senior center... 🤔 And I have a young, fit motorcycle rider that I'm hoping to visit this month for a shoot with one of his bikes. It's in storage for the winter so we will need to be creative with our imaginations but I think it will be REALLY cool.
My web site has been uh, in a tough way lately. I'm sorry if any of you are experiencing problems with it. There's a long backstory here about my Social Media Management company and I having a really messy breakup involving lawyers. If you're noticing a lot less of my accounts sharing and interacting on socials that is also tied in with this issue.
Suffice to say it's been a huge issue and I'm hoping that by April this will all be behind me and I can focus on getting the site some attention and ramping up my socials again. 😭✌🏻
I recently got waitlisted for Anime Boston so if you were hoping to catch me there it's looking unlikely. I have applied for Anime Expo but the chances of me getting into that event are also exceedingly low. At this point it's looking like I will be doing just a few small local shows this year and focusing mainly again with online events for art.
I am very eager to restock The Handy Hand Book and I have my fingers crossed that I will be able to do so this spring. I know that I don't have to tell you all how rough things have been financially the past few months especially. You all here on Patreon are my primary support for my full time model/art work and I cannot thank you enough for sticking around. Seeing sales drop across the board has been frustrating but I am making the shifts needed to keep on keeping on and I will just continue to do my best. 😁
I could go on and on about future plans but I will leave it at that for now. Looking forward to hearing your video suggestions!! 🎥

This pack features 88 full body pose references of a fat, white, female model in an assortment of poses including: casual, staff, cup, dramatic, lying, kneeling, and umbrella. There are two ZIPs due to Patreon's file size limits so be sure to download both to get all the pack images.
This pack is included in the $2.50+ membership here on Patreon and will also be available in my Ko-fi shop on February 11th for $8.
As always, thank you so much for your support. 🥰 Happy drawing!
