I love that we have snow! I don't mind the cold as much as the darkness in winter, and snow makes everything brighter. The only thing that really annoys me is that I have to move at a fraction of my normal speed to avoid faceplanting.

Buuuut someone got me spikes and NOW I FEEL INVINCIBLE MUAHAHA!!

A small little bit of both advice and a plea for using Bluesky.

This platform doesn't have an algorithm for content.

If your default response to seeing something cool is to hit like, take a second to hit the Repost button too.

Especially if it's a cool indie product, a show, some art, whatever.

Maybe it's the all encompassing existentialism, but playing NieR Automata somehow makes me want to rewatch Evangelion? Like, all of it, in a single unhealthy mind crippling marathon of madness.

I’m looking for horror / dystopian / sci-fi book cover artists!

I’m particularly interested in queer, BIPOC, or disabled artists.

Feel free to drop recommendations, links, examples and so on. I’m not actively commissioning right now, just researching for the (hopefully near) future! #writing #art

(tattoo) BOOKS OPEN! :)

(Please take the time to read the slides! Thank u!! ^^)
BOOKS OPEN! My books are now open for January - June! Please read the information on the following slides carefully to make the process as ephicient as possible for the both of us. You’ll get a much more detailed info sheet from me via email, but these already cover the basics of what I need from you to get started. Email only For anything related to booking and appointments, please email me to ephi(ät)live.de! (Please understand that I don’t do booking inquiries via DM) Mercy Please have patience with me. It’s just my humble self doing my booking and organization on top of all the regular daily madness. I try my best to keep response times somewhat reasonable, but often it just takes longer. The more concise and complete your first email is, the easier and quicker it is for me to reply! Also, unless you got some sort of error message that your email bounced and couldn’t be delivered, please refrain from DM-ing me if I got your email. (Have mercyyyy!) Thank youuuuu! Share your wishes and dreams What themes/elements should be involved? Do you want to keep it black/grey, with a touch of color or full-blown rainbow? Do you have favorite colors? Or some that you hate? Which of my stylistic elements do you like? (Bold brush strokes, fine scribbles, watercolor, other effects...) If you want you can send me examples from my portfolio that particularly speak to you. If you want to adopt one of my wannados (yay!!), pls send me a screenshot of it to avoid misunderstandings. Location Where on your body would you like your tattoo to go? How big of an area do you want me to cover? Are there any pre-existing tattoos or significant scars in the vicinity? Please provide me with reference photos of the respective body part(s). Let someone help you or use the timer of your camera/phone to avoid wild contortions and „selfie perspective“. How detailed do you need to get? As much as necessary, as little as possible. I love to work with rough guidelines and a good portion of creative freedom. However, of course feel free to tell me all that’s important to you right from the start so I can make sure the design reflects your tattoo dreams. Appointment As soon as I have received *all* relevant input from you, you will get a suggestion for a specific date, including a request to paypal me the deposit. Offered appointments are considered reserved for you for 10 days. Please reply to me within that time frame if you want to claim the spot. As soon as you make the deposit, the appointment is officially yours! Yippiehhhh!! TL;DR: If you want an appointment for January - June send an email to { ephi(ät)live.de } and make sure to include everything that’s important for me to know/have. (You can write to me in English or German.) (It’s less about who’s first, and more about who clearly took the time to read my info sheets and seems nice to work with! ;D)

Just noticed I completely forgot to share this comic of me achieving one of my biggest goals in life. Enjoy!
The first two panels of a doodle comic. Panel 1: Me walking my dog, passing another person with their dog. Panel 2: the other person, with a slightly worried face, stops me "uhh, excuse me?" Panel 3: other person, pointing at crows circling us: "I don't want to scare you but... have you noticed you're being followed by crows??" Panel 4: Me: "Oh yeah, no worries, it's not a death omen, probably. Just my naturally witchy vibes!" Panel 5: me, with a crow on my head: "ok ok, kidding. It's bribes. I bring them snacks to buy their love." A second crow in the corner: "give nom!!"

I don't celebrate Christmas, but I think my crow friends left me a gift?
In the spot were I usually put a pile of nom noms for them, there was a dirty, old, beaten-up watch today?? I mean, that could be coincidence, but I choose to believe that I'm officially a witch now, thanks. \o/

(It pains my heart, but I miiight have to change mine at some point because I keep getting confused who is who in battle... 🥲😅)

The worst part about playing an 8 year old game is that you have no one to talk to about your stupid emotions.🥲

Such a great experience to have something nice in the mailbox that isn't invoices and adulting stuff!!

Thank you soooo much @jamesmunns.com and @balorkin.bsky.social!! These made me so happy and I can safely say, every single little interaction I had with both of you was truly lovely and joyful!🥹💖
Lovely mail spread across a table, including a glittery artsy dragon postcard, stickers, and a very sweet letter/card.

Something a little different from my usual fare for Steffi. I think we're both eligible for industrial grade physiotherapy after this one. 😬🫶

[Done in two sessions: large parts healed, some fresh.]
A full-frontal throat oni mask tattoo in a sketchy, brushwork-y style with some abstract gears at the bottom to connect to an older gear-themed tattoo next to it. Same tattoo from a slightly different angle. Same tattoo from a slightly different angle.

The “gift” of ADHD (Part 1)

Prints adhd-alien.com
Support patreon.com/adhd_alien/
Comic titled: “The ‘gift’ of ADHD – Part 1/2.” Panel 1: The ADHD Alien character sits at a desk with papers, looking frustrated. Text reads: “When I’m not interested in a task, it’s so hard to start.” Panel 2: Bright, glowing scene. A golden, angel-like version of the character appears as the character looks amazed at a small dinosaur. Text: “But when something interests me, my brain will hyperfocus like there’s no tomorrow.” Speech bubble from the glowing figure: “Let’s use all that brain energy to research dinosaurs!” Caption below: “This is what people refer to as THE ‘gift’ of ADHD.” Panel 3: The glow fades. The character looks exhausted while the golden figure dismisses her. Text: “But it comes at a cost.” Thought and speech bubbles say: “I didn’t drink all day.” “Or spoke to my boyfriend…” “Can we take a break?” The glowing figure replies: “Hahaha, no.”

I sometimes think about the fact that, little more than 10 years ago, I had a phone that cost 20€ and I only had to charge it once a month? Like, in the most neutral way: WHATTTT??!

Solved Problems
ALT Text: A two-panel comic strip titled "Back in the Day" and "Now." In the first panel, a man sits at a desk cluttered with 1990s technology, including a bulky cell phone, a portable CD player, a radio, a cassette player, headphones, and stacks of CDs. He thinks, "Wow, it would be great to have all that in one device." In the second panel, the man sits at a clean, empty desk with only a modern smartphone in front of him. He has a nostalgic expression and thinks, "I miss my Walkman."

Mooooore eyes, scribbles, and heartfelt promises for Gabe's right arm.👀

Thank youuuuu, I love this project so much!! And it's truly always such a joyful time with you (well, for me at least ^^).

[outer big eyes and hand/wrist healed]
Tattoo sleeve of somewhat demonic abstract eyes loosely covering a right arm from the shoulder down to the hand. Tattooed as if drawn with ink, watercolor and crayons, in black and red and orange tones. Some parts freshly tattooed, some healed. Same tattoo, showing more of the inside arm. Same tattoo, showing more of the outside arm. Same tattoo, showing more of the outside arm.

Here, have the teeniest preview of the Dark Science Companion. It's going to have a *ton* of stuff, but a few pages will also have author (that's me!) commentary on silly little details.

Tattooing super sweet people by daylight, working on my endless todo list of eternal side quests by moonlight... (while cuddling doggo, multitasking style) 💖🦾
POV: cute doggo on my lap and switch in my hands, playing NieR Automata. 2B notably wearing my beloved giant pink ribbon accessory.

I looove spaghetti squash, except for the fact that I never know if, this time, I'll lose a limb trying to cut it in half. No risk, no culinary fun, I guess!

Is there a more humane way to slaughter these bastards? (And by that I mean humane for me, the slaughterer, not that murderous beast.)
Two doodles of me trying to cut a spaghetti squash in half by violently hammering it against the floor while my knife is stuck in it, and finally succeeding, but at what cost... (the cost being: I made a giant mess)

This game feels like such an accurate metaphor for my life, bc I just want to be a good little android, do what I gotta do, trying to remember what that actually was, accumulating a million side quests with every step until I forget what my mission was in the first place, where was I going and why??

Well, my poor ass is still hanging out as I run, but(t)... at least now I got this cute pink ribbon going for me??!
