Mails (Zack) Never Sent was a series I wrote for the CC Zine years back. I pulled them from Twitter/X, so figure I'll put them back up here. You can find a link to download the graphics I used for these in the comment below.

I really enjoyed writing these.

Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

I’ve started a small project for autumn - choosing a few seasonal things as subjects to explore and celebrate as I try out some different techniques without feeling like anything needs to be perfect. I’ll be posting what I’ve made over the next few weeks, I hope you’ll enjoy seeing it 🍂🧡

Top 4 Final Fantasy games

1. X. Wasn't the first one I finished/ fell in love with. But it stuck with me all these years.
2. IX. Loved the characters and found it v moving.
3. Remake. Took OG and made it so much stronger imo.
4. XVI. FF team finding their pace again. Not perfect but interesting.

illustration depicting a headless rider with a banner. His helmet is empty and there's a glowing smoke coming out of it. He's wearing armor decorated with flowers to symbolize vanitas/impermanence/memento mori. He's carrying a banner saying 'This, too, must pass.' There are candles floating around him. The composition is like the tarot card 13 with the classic reaper on the horse symbolizing change. The merrigolds in the background are connected to rebirth and ability to persist.

Finally cleaned up these firescaled earrings since I was never quite happy with the first version of them, so now they're shinier and cooler than before. Copper is such a pretty metal. =v
Probably gonna be one of the last pieces of metalwork I'll sell.

And the last of the short adventuring series with our bois. More water. 😌💕

A full coloured illustration featuring our ocs Rafe Trevelyan and Zacharius Kazakh enjoying some time by the pond. 'Hey, Zach! Look! There's a whole building here under the water. Any ideas on what it was before?' 'Something elven, I suppose.' 'Wanna come see?' 'Nah, I'm good, you scout on ahead.' Zach is chilling in the back (upper right corner) while Rafe explores the ruins in the water. Whole piece is

I'm looking for stories about how AI is killing creative work, and I'd love to hear from you—artists, writers, illustrators, actors, designers, editors, voice actors and narrators—if your job or practice has been hit. This is going to be a big one.

Started in 2020, finished two weeks ago. It's done!

As a past HorseGirl, if you're riding them around all over the place, I feel like someone would fall off their giant chicken and get accidentally left behind and also that it would be Prompto.

[ #ffxv #finalfantasy15 ]
The boys from ffxv in a field. Ignis and Gladio are in the distance; Ignis is calling to the others on a white chocobo, while Gladio waves at them, his chocobo is happy and loafed on the grass. In the middle Noctis is also waving at Prompto while riding a purple chocobo as Prompto, with leaves and dirt in his hair, is running triumphantly towards the others with his arms outstretched. He's just fallen off like a dingus but he got back on, so we're proud of him.

I thought my skills hadn't improved before I realized I beat the Path of Pain in three hours instead of four+. Have Celeste to thank for that.

I hate structure but I also can't live without structure, how do you solve this??
1 Comic illustration titled “ADHD & Structure,” divided into two panels. Left panel, captioned “I struggle…”: A person with small yellow antennae on their head stands looking sad and uncomfortable between two rigid metal barriers. Text below: “When structure feels more like rigid constraints.” Right panel, captioned “I thrive…”: The same person now looks joyful and free, smiling with arms outstretched while playfully moving between two flexible stanchions connected by a red velvet rope. Text below: “When structure is a flexible frame I can freely move within.” 2 Comic illustration split into two panels with the headings “I struggle…” on the left and “I thrive…” on the right. Left panel: At the top, a person with small yellow antennae on their head looks tired and downcast while another character points at them angrily. Text: “Being expected to function regularly and disappointing people when I can’t do that.” Below, the same person holds a plate of food, looking uncomfortable, while another character points at them and says: “Why do you never eat up?” Text: “Being observed and scolded or judged for how I do things.” Right panel: At the top, the same antennaed person smiles and looks content while holding a can labeled “Beans” and a box labeled “Veggies.” Text: “When I can adapt my pace to both good and bad days.” Below, the person sits at a table with leftovers on a plate and happily says: “Great, I have leftovers!” Text: “When I receive recognition and curiosity for how I do things.” 3 Split comic image with the heading on the left “I struggle…” and on the right “I thrive…”. Left: A person with little antennae on their head looks stressed, crumples papers, and appears frustrated. Text: “When I set my own standards to hyperfocus levels, only to burn out and fail.” Below: The same person sits exhausted in a chair with a phone, while another character says: “No phone when you come home!” The tired person replies: “But I’m so tired…” Text: “When it becomes a rigid rule that I’m not allowed to question or improve.” Right: The same person looks calm and content. At the top, they hold a sheet of paper and think: “Today, one page is enough.” Text: “When I allow myself to do things just right, rest and let go of perfectionism.” Below: They rest comfortably in a chair with their phone and think: “I’ll rest for 30 minutes!” 4 Comic illustration divided into two panels with the headings “I struggle…” on the left and “I thrive…” on the right. Left panel: A person with yellow antennae on their head looks small and ashamed, standing behind a taller figure who gestures dismissively and says: “I always have to take care of her!” The person with antennae looks downcast and uncomfortable. Text below: “When support turns into resentment towards my ‘inability’ and further deteriorates my self-confidence.” Right panel: The same person with antennae looks joyful and energetic, fists raised in enthusiasm, surrounded by little glowing stars. A supportive figure smiles and says: “Let’s both clean up for 30 minutes!” The person with antennae replies excitedly: “I’ll clean the bestest!!!” Text below: “When I am encouraged to help myself without being expected to suddenly no longer have ADHD.”

| The Barrier |

Remembering just how much I love drawing water and rainy weather. 💕
#dragonage #oc
an illustration featuring two original characters Rafe and Zacharius (who belongs to @lesoldatmort ) set into the world of Thedas (Dragon Age), inspired by Emerald Graves map and the Temple of Mythal. This time in a rainy weather. The whole piece is situated to a balcony or a courtyard of old elven ruins. The bois are sitting in the lower left corner of the piece, Zach, who is dry, is casting a barrier around them to hold the water off. Rafe, completely drenched is trying to squeeze more water out of his hair. They're looking at each other playfully. The dialogue between them would go something like this: 'You know... I could have cast that. Mom taught me a barrier like this one.' 'Sure, you could, but you were too busy climbing up that pillar over there. If you catch cold, suits you just right.' 'Yeah, yeah... Whatever. But next time I'll be the one to cast it.' The ruins are overgrown and water is pooling around them. Everything is surrounded by a rather thick fog.
