Brittany M. Willows 🐝🍁 BUY MY QUEER CATBOY BOOKS @bmwillows.bsky.social · Oct 27
Oh shit, hi everybody!! I'm Bri, a self-published author/digital artist. I've published two duologies (space opera and anime-inspired urban fantasy), and am currently working on a standalone post-apoc SFF about fugitive werewolf brothers!

linktr.ee/brittanymwillows #writingcommunity
A promotional graphic featuring THE HOWLING DARK's concept cover against a blurry photo of mountains, surrounded by a list of some tropes/themes that appear in the book. Text reads: Eclipse-born werewolf (i.e, special in fucked-up and beautiful ways); post-nuclear Earth-like setting; were-caracal bounty hunter; fugitive werewolf brother; a dash of M/M spice and romance; messy, messy relationships; corrupt space government; Brother Bear x Wolf's Rain; doomed siblings; ragtag rebels; elements of botanical horror. Cover depicts a young man with soft features in a fur-lined hooded jacket holding a spear, peering through leafless tree branches. He has long slightly wavy hair, white on one side and black on the other. His right eye is blue, left is brown. He has a scar over his left eye. A promotional graphic featuring 3D mock-ups of Bloody Spade and Bleeding Heart's, surrounded by a list of tropes/themes that appear in the Cardplay Duology. Text reads: Abundant hurt/comfort, inky body horror, hot-tempered fire wielder, bird girl with plant magic, a celestial deity with a penchant for murder, a budding QPR, returned magic, slow-burn romantic subplot, asexual panic, monsters born from malice, softhearted scythe-wielding girl, snarky cat-eared thief. Bloody Spade's cover depicts a black silhouette of a short-haired cat-eared boy with a glowing purple spade in front of him. Bleeding Heart's depicts a white silhouette of a girl with deer antlers and long flowing hair with a glowing heart in front of her.

One thing I would love to do more of next year (that I'd planned to do more of this year but have thus far done none of) is stream. Art streams! Game streams! I have been doing a lot more video/audio calls, though, which I think will help me be less anxious about streaming when I do get back to it 😂

Anyone got any rec for effective and affordable skincare products?? My skin has gotten so awful on my face this past year and Aveeno ain't cutting it 💀 I've never done any kind of skincare routine before so I'm not sure where to even start.

Last year, I said “If my 30s are going to be symbolic of anything, I'd like for it to be change.” And with 2025, I think I’m off to a good start. This turned out to be a year of taking chances, trying things, making plans, and seizing strokes of luck.
Photo of me, a blonde white girl with short hair and an undercut, on a scrapbook style backdrop which is included in all following images. Text reads "The year behind, the year ahead" Photo collage of me with friends and family, me at the gym, and me riding a horse

Name Her Holy is 50% off as part of the itch winter sale and this is how I’m choosing to advertise that ✨❄️

aubreyennis.itch.io/name-her-holy
Artwork of Kye from Name Her Holy, she is leaning in to kiss Jude. She has pale white eyes, short brown hair, tan skin covered in scars that are glowing and igniting into a pale purple fire around her. Text reads: She’s a ten but she’s the Herald of the Coming End, the living saint of the universe’s undoing. Artwork of Jude from Name Her Holy, her chin being tilted up by Kye, leaning in for a kiss. Jude has long auburn hair, wreathed in golden flowers, a long scar over her freckled pale skin, wearing armor. Text reads: she’s a ten but those mommy issues come with a sword

If you're an artist coming over from Twitter because of this bullshit they added, first of all:

Really genuinely sorry they fucked you like this & I think it's extremely reasonable to be crashing out HARD right now

Second: I'm gonna offer Bluesky tips and encourage ppl to share starter packs here

Man its like just so invasive and gross feeling to see "Edit Image" appear over other people's images. Musk decided to give us the only kind of gift he can for christmas, sickening disappointment. Best of luck out there folks.
tobey(peter parker) from spidersman looking at the edit image button but then puts on glasses to see the text actually says fuck artists. Though technically it should be the other way around because spidersman can see better without glasses now if youve seen the movie you'd know that. Also sam raimi ripped off his spidersman movie idea from james cameron, justice for big jim

Itchio did a LOT of the heavy-lifting, but overall, sales weren't bad considering I haven't released anything in about 2.5 years!

Amazon: 164 (across 4 books + 1,734 KU page reads)
Itchio: 305 (across 2 books, mostly via bundles)
Other: 8 (across 2 books)

Total: 477, of which 20 were paperbacks

Just want to put out feelers for a TTRPG writer/dev or two who would be interested in collaborating on a pulpy scifi/fantasy project in 2026 with myself and another artist/writer. Ideally someone who'd fuck with "Frank Frazetta but queer" as an aesthetic. Would love 2 chat if this sounds interesting

BLEAKHOUSE! ⚙️🌼 It's about an automaton girl (Artemis), a famous inventor's grandson (Ganymede), and warring parallel universes. What excites me about it is the grittier, more selfish nature that sets it apart from my other works. If I were to comp it to anything, I'd say Dishonored and Counterpart!
Grid containing nine images, which depict: a young man's bare back with his arms hugging himself, some gold wheels and gadgets, a photo of lips with a black moth sitting at the corner, paper scrolls, a painting of two heads being pulled away from each other, the rundown interior of a building, a close-up of a brown eye, a photo of daisies, a photo of a girl with short hair Sketches of two characters: a white boy with brown eyes and brown hair wearing a khaki-colored shirt, and a white girl with a short bob haircut and copper eyes wearing suspenders over a white blouse. The same characters from the previous image, drawn in a pose from the painting in the first image with their heads being pulled away from each other by hands

Another WIP I'm looking forward to is SUNDERED STAR, the BLOODY SPADE prequel that details Circ's fall from grace, the Cataclysm, and the creation and sacrifice of the original Keepers. I'm really excited to flesh out that whole mess of calamitous sibling angst & secret sapphic forbidden romance 👁️👁️
My characters Ophelia and Vy, foreheads touching, somber expressions on their faces. Ophelia is a fair-skinned woman with white deer antlers and crimson hair tied back in a long, thick braid. Vy is a tan woman with short, straight purple-black hair, and cat ears angled downward. Ophelia wears a white cream-colored dress, Vy wears a dark purple-gray bodysuit with black fur draped over the shoulders. A drawing of my celestial twins Circ and Cass clasping hands and touching foreheads, their eyes closed. Both have mottled white-freckled gray skin, collars with rings around their necks, multiple ear piercings, and glowing white hair. Circ's hair is short and fluffy, Cass' is long and rippling.

QRP with your oldest and newest art of your OC! ✨

I've done this for Ellen and Iori a bunch, so how about Alexander? 2009 vs. 2025! Fun fact: I actually drew him first out of that trio (only by a couple months, though)
An old pencil drawing of Alexander from 2009. A crop of Alexander from the Bloody Spade poster I finished earlier this year. His current design is still very similar to his original with the gold-trimmed red military-style jacket, frilled ascot, and dark shoulder guards. Still has short, spiky white hair, pale skin, and piercings too. Biggest difference is that his eyes are gold instead of red, his brows and lashes are white too, he has a scar on his right cheek, and no longer has the tongue piercing.

art vs artist 2025 ✨ i have a whole post abt how this year challenged me creatively and mentally more than I’ve felt for years and how keeping a personal sketchbook helped keep grounded but bsky’s character limit won’t let me wax on about it 🌞 you get the point though

Your honor, I miss them
A sketch of the characters Kenon and Alana from my novel, The Calypsis Project. Kenon, a 9-foot-tall lizard-like alien stands behind Alana, a human soldier, preparing to fire his high-tech bow while Alana holds her rifle at the ready. His armor has blue lights, hers has green.

Listening to Audiomachine's "Guardians at the Gate" put me in the mood to draw some of my neglected alien characters
A sketch of three different alien characters from my Calypsis Project books. The first is an elegantly dressed flat-faced humanoid alien with a craggy face, gazing down sinisterly at his fingers which are about to curl into a fist. Next is a lizard-like alien in chunky armor with a mane of hair down the back of his neck. His head is bowed, pensive. Last is another lizard-like alien, sleeker-looking than the previous one, in a more elaborate suit of armor with lots of points, talking to someone.
