I have an Etsy shop and there are, quite frankly, delightful things for sale therein www.etsy.com/shop/Jessica...
A screenshot of the Etsy shop of Jess Fink. There are various items like moth earrings, mushroom earrings, an opossum sticker, a snail sculpture pin, a snail sticker, a sticker of mushroom and acorn people hanging out on a log that says "log off", a sticker of two fern people holding hands that says "best fronds", a sticker of a happy shooting star that says "thinking my little gay thoughts", and several comics.

His name is Bristol and he's playing LADs on his phone
#art #digitalart #oc
Man with black and orange hair leaning against a black motorcycle. He has head wings behind his ears, and is wearing a leather jacket with orange on the inside, as well as a black sweater, black pants, a few belts, and silver necklaces. His eyes are orange and he is holding a phone and looking down at it.

Canada made weird tv shows because it was all being done with government funded art grant money so they fell in this wacky middle ground between “shoestring budget” and “no expectation to generate shareholder value” which is really the best way to make art

ミ★ What will you wish for? ✦彡

#PichiWishingStar | #DreamerPluto
Illustration art of my OC and Vtuber Pichi. She is a shooting star with a celestial design. Her design mirrors my other OC, Pluto. She has a mage like appearance, and her hair resembles the tail of a shooting star. Her color palette is hot pink, light pink, orange, and yellow. She has white wings. She has 5 point stars across her clothing. She is floating in space, looking at the viewer with a curious expression. She appears to be expecting to grant a wish. The illustration is bright and dreamy and has a nostalgic appearance of late 90s/early 2000s magical girl anime. The colors are vibrant. Illustration art of my OC and Vtuber Pluto.

You will internalize all the mean stuff you say about yourself, even if you say it in jest. Good news: you can also pretend you're great and treat yourself with compassion and internalize that instead. Ask me how I know!

People respond well to it too, they wanna root for you!!

Some advice from a couple of years ago that I still think most creative people need to hear --
Don't put down your own work. Plenty of people want to devalue you and the things you Make. Don't help them do it.

The Ninth
www.inprnt.com/gallery/jess...
Fan art for the book Gideon the Ninth. Two figures in black cloaks and black clothing stand next to each other. The figure on the left is the Cavalier of the Ninth house, she stands proudly with her arms folded across her chest, equipped with a sword in it's holster at her hip. She has dark skin, large muscles, red hair, and is wearing modern sunglasses. Her face is covered in white and black paint to look like a skull. The figure on the left is the Reverend Daughter of Ninth house, and a necromancer. She is shorter than the other woman, with dark skin and short black hair. She also sports the skull face paint, and is covered in an array of bone jewelry. She is glaring at the other woman with a shocked and appalled look on her face. A detailed, close up view of the previous image.

#gideon #harrow #thelockedtomb #gideontheninth
Fan art for the book Gideon the Ninth. Two women stand in a pool, in the dark. The woman on the left is short, with dark skin and black hair. She wears white face paint that is dripping off. She upset, confessing some long-held secret to the other woman, and grabbing at her shirt. The other woman is tall with dark skin and red hair. Her face paint is also mostly washed off from the water. She stands listening intently, and replying to the other woman. Her hand is placed gently on the other woman's cheek. A close-up, detailed view of the previous image.

A page from our short story, The Next Day, about finding love during the world's end. ❄️💕
A comic page excerpted from a longer story. Dark tones in black-and-white. Text: "I roamed free from the beast man had become. I would have taken my last breath alone, in the dark. I feared the dark. We all feared the dark." A large breaded man dressed for the Winter with many furs and a makeshift hook prosthetic for a missing hand is trudging along a dark beach, carrying a lantern and walking stick, and sword on his belt. Suddenly, a black wolf charges him and he raises his sword in defense, looking determined. The wolf is pulled back by a collar and leash that are now visible, held by a mysterious man mostly covered in a layered tunic and scarves wrapped over his head and lower face. A tense moment is spent between the two men staring at each other before the bearded man abruptly faints from exhaustion. Final scene zooms out to show him laying on the beach unconscious as the other man and wolf look on.

One of my favorite moody pieces for this time of year. 🦋
A dark, blue-toned close-up portrait of a shirtless man with shaggy black hair, looking aloof as moths fly around him.

Clearly, I have a talent for being unclear. 🍄☁️
A 4-Panel Comic. 1st Panel: Caption: "I am bad at context, sometimes:" Two people (K and Stiffler) walking outside. Stiffler is looking over their shoulder and smiling. Dialogue: Stiffler: "Oh, look! A mushroom cloud!" 2nd Panel: K turns around in a panic to see what Stiffler is talking about. Stiffler still looks happy. Dialogue: K: "Holy shit, what?!" 3rd Panel: A view of the cloud, which is simply a small cumulus cloud in the shape of a mushroom. 4th Panel: K covering his face in frustration and relief, Stiffler is cheerfully confused by the reaction. Dialogue: K: "Oh my god, dude..." Stiffler: "What?"
