A digital artwork of two female characters standing and holding each other, foreheads pressed up against each other, in a wilderness area with a vibrant and colorful sunset behind them. One is East Asian with short brown hair, cool grey clothing with short sleeves, and is gazing lovingly at her girlfriend (with one had on the ass because dat ass), the other is white and has long light brown hair, wearing a light blue coat and grey scarf, and has her eyes closed with a soft smile. It's very cute, very gay. A realistic black and white charcoal portrait drawing of a dog (long neck and face, regal pose, face is almost directly at the camera; shiny dark short fur with longer white tuffs down the neck's middle), drawn on blue toned paper. Charcoal pencils and tortillons lay next to the artwork. A photo of a traditional artwork of a vast landscape, a sun rising behind clouds, shining over distant mountains and forests, with cliffs surrounding the central subject of a magic beanstalk, towering over everything. Drawn with Tombow markers, also seen in the photograph. A digital portrait drawing of a masculine anthro dragon character with white skin with gold markings, and red eyes. He has shoulder length blonde hair, long ears and horns, and is smiling while sticking out his snake like tongue.

A keychain with three strands of beaded dangles, trans flag themed. One on a chain with holo beads, one a star, and pink and blue beads, with the end of the chain being a giant pink sparkly heart. The middle and strand has a pink and white bead, crackled quartz, light blue wagnerite, and ends with a holo tear drop. The last strand a opaque white holo bead, rose quartz, and a flat circular light blue glass bead. There are two shots side by side, one with the keychain laying on a split backdrop of a white paper and pink/yellow pastel watercolor paper with scattered confetti and stones. The second photo is me holding it in my hand.

A stock photo of a snow covered path surrounded by trees and short shrubs on either side. The light is peeking through the trees, illuminating the path. A stock photo of a kitchen at an angle, showing only a long counter top with a stove top oven, with tile flooring leading to an open walkway. There are sets of knives, a coffee machine, and a toaster on the counter. Above the counter are matching cabinets, with a microwave built in floating above the oven. Plants are above the cabinets and a calendar hangs on the wall. It's a very clean kitchen.

Sold one piece from this gouache collection I made last July, 3 still available! I’m also still going for that 30 order goal this month, I’m currently at 10 - I still think I’m going to smash it super hard and conquer this January because I SAID SO. linktr.ee/thesunxix

This was the video btw. I went over some common issues beginners with alcohol based markers have. If you struggle with the medium, these tips might help you out :) It's an old video, but the advice is still solid. 💪

I think I'm gonna keep this one for myself, in part because I don't think anyone else would actually want it because it's brown, and for some reason brown is the least popular color which is just blasphemous!

IT'S PRETTY 🤎😊

#crafting #beads #keychain #art #crafts
A keychain with three strands of beaded dangles, brown themed. There are three strands, one of which is a chain. All the beads are various brown wood or plastic beads, with one being sunstone. Most are spheres but there are a few random shapes. At the end of the middle strand is a larger pinecone charm. There are two shots side by side, one with the keychain laying on a split backdrop of a white paper and pink/yellow pastel watercolor paper with scattered confetti and stones. The second photo is me holding it in my hand.

I saw someone on here do this and I thought the idea was too cute not to attempt. So here it is. OCs Azra, Zev, Sterling, and Inix

Drawing of four head-type popsicles in a line, all in the shape of humanoid characters. The first is a white man with grey eyes and black hair. The second is a black robot with cyan eyes. The third is a yellow, silver, and black robot with cyan eyes. The final is a black robot with purple eyes and sprinkles.

i appreciate the pro writers on this site being honest about how little publishing pays.

if most of us can't make a career of it either way, you might as well do what you want instead of focusing on what you think a publisher will buy.

I actually had a discussion about this yesterday. The hate for fanfiction has 4 components:

1) It directly defies capitalism. Capitalism tells us that only things that are profitable are of worth. Most fanfic is free and so people equate free to bad. 🧵 #fanfiction
jpagaduanauthor 8h I have been told often that posting my fanfic on my author social media accounts is unprofessional. But I simply don't give a fuck. Fanfic is a legitimate sub-genre of literature, and I am proud to be a fanfic author. I am not ashamed to say I am a fanfic writer and stake my professional brand on that. Besides, I take my fanfic just as seriously as my original stuff. And if that is off-putting to you? 🤷🏾‍♂️ Then take your business elsewhere, friend. the hate against fanfic is wild to me. For one thing, it's hardly a new invention. What do you think Dante's Inferno is?

I had a YT tutorial on Copics go viral. Didn't get any new followers, supporters, or much ad money from it, but I DID get a shit ton of people criticizing me for how I pronounced "Copics". So it's a running gag now for me to continue to say it wrong or pronounce it "properly" (aka Japanese accent).

watercolour painting of the head and neck of a unicorn in a dark brown pigment which gives it a sepia effect. You can see my hand in the image painting it and the reflection of the sparkling gold that is scattered throughout this otherwise drab pigment. Magic!

A halfbody illustration of a female angel with wings and long, off-white hair pulled back into a low, golden clasp. She wears purple, immodest robes and various golden jewelry, including a face mask with an aster flower motif. A gold thurible swings by her thigh, spilling smoke around her.

European goldfinch. Watercolour on silk mounted on paper.

I had to wash out and repaint the scapulars and marginal coverts three times. Hugely relieved it worked out in the end. 🥲

I'll post the full piece when it will be available at auction next week. 🙏
Detail from a painting of the head and upper body of a European goldfinch, photographed with a penny and a traditional Chinese brush. The piece is small and delicate. The bird's head is roughly comparable in size to the penny, only slightly larger.

✦ Garden of Death ✦
A decorative and detailed portrait of a long-haired character with pointy ears and curly horns. They are dressed in fancy clothing and wear jewelry. Multiple flowers and two human skulls frame the portrait. The colors are rather muted apart from a saturated blue used as an accent color. Various sparkly shapes decorate the illustration.

A hand holding a 3ds with a digital study of an Anders Zorn painting on it. It's cropped in on a lady's face and a bit messy but recognizable as an attempt at the painting seen blurry in the background.
