I drew so much more than I did last year, and it feels really good (especially getting more comfortable with watercolors) 💛

A few panels from my fic, Ostinato. (I'd been wanting to illustrate this scene since I finished writing it)

Panel 1: Gustave wading in the ocean, looking off into the horizon ("Sometimes things spring forth from the void, against all odds.") Panel 2: Verso covering Gustave in the sand, touching the palm of his mechanical hand ("Sometimes a thing is just so powerful and necessary that it makes itself exist.")

2025 was one of the hardest years of my life. I lost nearly everything, and barely survived the summer.

Since then, I've made it a year of saying "yes" — to new homes, new friends, and new experiences. I still live on the margins, but I'm safe, I'm loved, and I'm ready to keep saying "yes" in 2026!
A bird-headed, winged serpent — Eris — winds through the composition, surrounding a small, tadpole-like entity. A stone nearby is carved with Wormrōte that reads 'she appears in many forms'.

A collection of 9 panels. The eight outlining panels feature digital artwork of Eiland, Balor, Celine, Maple, Josephine, and Reina from Fields of Mistria, OP's characters Monroe and Lavender, Ferdinand from Fire Emblem: Three Houses, and Arven from Pokemon Scarlet/Violet. The center panel is a photo of OP, and emotes of a yellow pikmin and OP's sona.

These are truly difficult times for artists, which is why I want to express my deepest gratitude to those who continue to believe in human art, those who commission work, or those who support us with likes or comments. We are all in this together.🫂

Verso and Gustave look at each other while touching their foreheads together and smoking. The lit ends of their cigarettes meet.

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

you’ve been lonely

Verso and Lune kissing deeply. His hand holds her waist and his other hand tugs on her braid. Her fingers are entangled in his hair.

hayden x monroe

two hands and a bit of land

#art ✧ #comic ✧ #fieldsofmistria ✧ #oc
The first page of a digitally drawn comic, featuring Hayden from Fields of Mistria, and OP's farmer character, Monroe, both portrayed in their fall outfits and fully colored. In the first page, it is only Hayden speaking. 1st panel text: "Um, Monroe... you know, I like to think that I'm a pretty straightforward guy." 1st panel image: Hayden is speaking to Monroe, who has his back turned to the viewer. Hayden looks sheepish, scratching the back of his neck and avoiding eye contact. 2nd panel text: "What you see is what you get." 2nd panel image: Hayden's hand, portrayed twice. First reaching out, and then clenching. 3rd panel text: "I don't come form a prestigious family like Eiland does - And I didn't go to a big university in the Capital like Valen. [italicized] All I've got to offer this world are my two hands and a bit of land." 3rd panel image: Hayden has a somewhat pained smile, his eyes shadowed. He looks towards his still clenched fist. End page 1. The second page of the comic. In the second page, it is only Monroe speaking. 1st panel text: "I like oyur hands, Hayden." 1st panel image: Monroe takes Hayden's hand in his, looking at it seriously. Hayden looks surprised, exclaiming "!". 2nd panel text: "They're strong, but gentle, just like you." 2nd panel image: Monroe drawn twice, holding Hayden's hand. In the first, he's kissing Hayden's palm with his eyes closed. In the second, he's cradling Hayden's hand to his face, and looking up at him with a smile. End page 2. The third page of the comic. In the third page, it is only Hayden speaking. 1st panel image: Hayden drawn twice. In the first, he has a mildly surprised face, eyebrows raised. In the second, he looks fully shocked with wide eyes and a full-face blush. The word "poof" and two clouds erupt from his head. 2nd panel text: "Ughhhhh... I'm no match for you, am I...?" 2nd panel image: Hayden is collapsed on Monroe's shoulder, his face buried. Monroe still holds Hayden's hand with one of his own, the other hand patting Hayden's back. Monroe is laughing with a small "haha" as steam rises from Hayden's head. At the bottom is written "END <3".

They stand so tall and new that when the sun goes down, the stars just stick to them.

A fawn and a cow calf lie encircling each other. The calf's head is dappled with stars and fawn's spots are also stars.

OCs (i.e. soul material) 🦌🕊️
Two of my OCs; a man with very pale skin and ash-colored hair wears a scarf with colors and patterns resembling a mourning dove's plumage and touches the elbow of a dark-skinned man with dark hair and stars embedded in his hand. Two ghost-like antlers extend from the latter's head and surround the constellation of a deer.
