I opened an Etsy shop for prints!

Its early yet to sell a lot because I don't want to get in over my head investing in products. But, I do have an art printer here that I use for my SFW family portraits. A few people have asked about prints so at least now I have somewhere to point them to and I can start gauging interest. Im also not sure if I want to stay with etsy or try cargo collective? I use etsy every day for my daytime work ;) so I feel like I should just stick to what I know and not make it harder for myself.  2022-01-21 14:05:55 +0000 UTC View Post

Orange Marmalade

I bought a jar of orange marmalade the other day. I don't know why I've never bought it before. I always get so excited when we go to breakfast and they have the little assorted jams stand on the table. I stood in the grocery aisle and stared at the jar like its what I've been missing all my life. I guess buying flavors of jam that I like is one of those things I can do as an adult  now.

Anyway, the color of the jam inspired this sweet little scene when I spread it on a crisp bread...

Im running a panel on Discord 😳

WTF. I applied for this not thinking I would get it but they really liked my topic! 

I'll be talking about how NSFW art can be used as a tool for rebellion against harmful puritanical ideologies in the self and society.  I'm kind of nervous because it seems like it will be a mostly male audience and I was planning on using the ideas I've been playing with for my WIP graphic novel "Red Moon." The anecdotes are pretty personal and from a female perspective but, from what I've gl...

Orange Marmalade WIP progress

Can’t wait to color this one!

Vi x Caitlyn Arcane sketch process video

Is there anything hotter than a lip bite? I dunno, it’s pretty high on my list. I love these two. Their chemistry in the show was such a tease! I’m cheering for them. It’s going to be another few years until we (might) get to learn more about them but I ain’t even mad, Riot studios can take all the time they need. In the mean time I’ll use my imagination ;) can’t wait to color this one!

Jinx ARCANE

I just started sketching this morning and it turned into this. I totally had work to do today but I was just having too much fun. I love working this way. 

I've never played League of Legends, nor have I ever been much of a gamer but I can always appreciate the art. This show is one of the most beautiful things Ive seen in a long time. The character development visually and emotionally, the story, the pacing and timing, sets and object design OH LAWD. I feel like my mout...

Process video for witch on a broomstick!

I’ve been trying to figure out Adobe fresco. I moved all my favorite brushes from photoshop to my iPad and found that they lagged a bit. So I downloaded all the Kyle packs fresh but now I have to find all my favorites over again which is taking some time. This was sketched with one of my ride or die brushes, the animators pencil. It worked much better once I downloaded it inside the app rather than importing the .Abr files from my computer. After a couple months of troubleshooting I’m fee...

Wanna come for a ride?

Quick sketch I did in fresco inspired by vintage witch pinups. I’m wishing it were Halloween again.

Give In

A few years ago I felt a calling to study ancient religions and how their allegory can be both weapon and medicine. Being raised catholic, I hadn’t realized how damaging the lack of strong female characters in biblical lore had been to my subconscious. The stories I was raised with were made to keep people with natural intuition in a cage, barred by guilt, shame, and sin. Even in Greek mythology, women bear the guilt of unleashing all evils on earth. I learned a good woman is nice, jovial, ...

12/7/21 Sketch dump

I've been trying to work out the story for a graphic novel I'm writing through sketching. I have 4 scrivener files going with different narrative arcs right now and am trying to get myself to start tightening things up. I have the basic plot so far but now Im getting into the subplots and how all the different characters will interact. Writing has been such a rewarding experience, every day I get closer to uncovering the mystery of what the story will be and its so exciting! Im only having tr...

Lord Darkness x Lili sketch

This is the unaltered scan before I cleaned it up in photoshop and added the couch/ cushions digitally. I really enjoy inking traditionally and coloring digitally, I think its my favorite way to work. When I ink digitally I noodle around too much trying to make everything look perfect and t just ends up looking tight and lifeless. I think in retrospect I would have gone over the red pencil lines with a kneaded eraser so I didn't have so much to clean up digitally. There were some pretty dark ...

Spooky Movie coloring page!

Spooky Movie

Post sex movie! What do you think they're watching? 

Inked traditionally with series 7 brush and sumi 60 ink on sketchbook paper. Colored in Photoshop

“Netflix & Chill” sketch and ink

It feels so good to get back to traditional inking. I’ve been pretty out of practice and my hand was a bit shaky a few days ago but these quick sketchbook romps have been helping a lot.

I was trying to think of what to draw to loosen up. I haven’t sketched for fun in so long I forgot how to have fun. I figured I would ride this legend train for a bit and after doing this I remembered how to have fun :D I pictured them watching a spooky film after having great sex. Lol!

"Legend" Process

My youtube account got deleted even though I had the videos unlinked and its artwork so process videos are on vimeo now :) Those censorship bots are hard at work! It hasn't even been 3 days! 

This one was done in photoshop on my wagon cintiq tablet :) 

Fire and Ice Process

Ipad and apple pencil on procreate. ;) 

Starfire x Nightwing Sketch!

This sketch is just done on some computer paper with a red col- erase pencil :) I decided when I colored it to make the characters based off of Star Fire and Nightwing. 

Fire and Ice

I was a late-ish bloomer sexually because of being raised in a catholic family a in a puritanical, white picket fence town. I was really afraid of my sexuality. I started to figure things out in college but was too afraid to act on feelings I was curious about in the non-binary, female or trans communities.  Dating and intimacy was always something I put on the back burner. I knew things would work out if I just kept doing the things I loved, I never chased love or went out of my way to ...

Legend coloring page!

Download the attachment and have fun! You can color on an iPad or print out and use markers or watercolors :) 

Starfire X Nightwing!

Been watching the toon version of teen Titans and the new Titans on HBO max. Inspired me to make my own designs of the characters relaxing! This Starfire is giving me Jinx vibes?

Legend

Anyone else feel like Lili missed out on a great opportunity? I love this movie! Lord darkness needs a baddie.
