something is missing #OneHundredThousandLivesAfterDeath #illustration
a black and white illustration of a tree stump surrounded by low growing ferns. A blank space in the shape of a person in a long skirt sits in the middle of the stump, as if sitting on a throne.

getting my hands back in order by drawing my favorite undead princess <3 #laudna #criticalrole #criticalrolefanart
A black and white cartoony drawing of a woman in a dress who is sprouting branches from the left side of her body. She is grinning with sharp teeth at a rat with a bird's skull who stands in her branches, and patting the side of a snarling black wolf with her right hand.

If you see this faun at the #criticalrole Indy live show on Saturday, come say hi! I have postcards to hand out! And maybe some monster teeth idk. #FearneCalloway #cosplay
A photo of Megan Lee Bees in cosplay as the character Fearne Calloway from Critical Role's third campaign. Megan is seated, wearing a green wig and horns, pink shirt and skirt, leggings printed to look like fur, and furry hoof shaped boots. She is surrounded by greenery, and there are flowers all over her costume.

I made some new hooves for the Indianapolis live show! It looks like it's going to be a good show for Fearne <3 #criticalrole
A pair of costume hooves on a wooden desk, sitting next to a sewing machine. The hooves are black with painted moss at the base, and the boot portion above them is brown and tan shaggy fur.

#DateEverything is a blast! I love Nightmare so much. I was trying to encourage them like "good rotten teeth dream, honey" but accidentally gave her a complex about not being scary enough! No, you're scary! I just really appreciate the craft!
Character sprite for Nightmare from the video game Date Everything! Nightmare is a tall shadowy figure with three heads (snake, horse, and lion) with numerous glowing eyes across her heads and chest, a grimacing mouth in her stomach, and a belt of broken teeth.

I cleaned up my workspace upstairs and lit candles now words can happen, right? Maybe more candles...
A picture of a dark open laptop on a wood bar beneath a window. A painted gold bust of Nefertiti is at the far end, next to two candlesticks that hold lit gold candles.

Late to the art trend but i was moved by this fic archiveofourown.org/works/557080... to try and replicate the pulp cover it was named for. <3 #criticalrolefanart #criticalrole
A fanart restyle of a pulp paperback cover depicting a woman laying down and reaching up to put her hand on the arm of a woman standing over her. The title is "I Prefer Girls" the author is "Cairo Phoenix" and the copy across the top reads "A Strange Story Of Clandestine Love, Anxiety, And Fanfic"

An older Laudna for #waudnawednesday <3 I think it's fun that she gets to age now. She's been practicing eccentric old woman for a long time, and now she gets to be one! #criticalrolefanart #criticalrole
A black and white bust of Laudna from Critical Role smiling and holding up a collection of bones and feathers in both hands. She has wrinkles and more white in her hair, and she wears a contrasting collar shirt with flowers stitched at the hems

Love finding notes to myself on old manuscripts. Have i origamied my bones properly? Who could say. #writing #writesky #horrorwriter
Scratchy handwriting on the back of a manuscript. The pencil reads "Talk Oragami Bones in the Hunger's confrontation with Mavis" The red ink is cut off, but the visible text reads "leilani can't live an airport away if... tillie's ribcage"

I went to #norwescon and I've been going for about a decade, but only as a ghost. This year I made an effort to talk to people and it worked! I had a wonderful time. I feel so invigorated to work on new art and writing. If you saw this deer, thanks for making Norwescon great!
A selfie of my Saturday look for Norwescon. I am wearing curling horns, furry long ears, and my makeup is done to look like a deer's nose

Happy #waudnawednesday! I loved making this doll. She was so fun. I changed her expression to a smile because i figured out how to embroider with glow yarn and i wanted to show off her teeth. Thank you @mintywolf.bsky.social for the inspiration! 💕
#criticalrolefanart #criticalrole #dollmaking
A close up on the face of a fabric doll. She has long black yarn hair with a white lock, large black eyes, and her mouth is open in a smile so show her many sharp teeth. A fabric mermaid doll, patterned after a lanternfish. She has a dark blue tail with swirling patterns, and a friendly smile. A low light picture of the same doll to show off the glow in the dark properties of the white yarn used for her lantern, hair, teeth, and eyes

This kid told me at the end of the day that she was thinking about being Elsa and running across the water and making ice under her feet as she ran, and I love that for her.

HUMAN ARTISTS, use one piece to convince people to follow you 🕷🏡 #ArtShare
A black and white illustration of an artist at work in her studio. She is sitting in a wheel chair, and her head is sitting on a box on the table across from her, while spiders crawl across the table. Behind her are several framed pictures. Two of houses, two of spiders, one of a rabbit with flowers in its fur, one of several lower jaw bones on a black background. There are two unframed pictures tacked above her table. On the left is a close up of her eye, with a spider peeking from around the iris. The right shows a close up on the eyesocket of a skull, with a spider lurking in the shadows. This illustration is for the upcoming novella One Hundred Thousand Lives After Death

Tillie doesn't need her head to paint, which makes finding the right angle for self portraits a matter of perspective.
(i'm so proud of this one not gonna lie <3)

Happy 10 years of Critical Role from Pâté de Rolo! and thanks @exandriaartists.bsky.social for organizing! #criticalrolefanart #CR10Party
an ink and watercolor illustration of Pâté de Rolo, an npc character from Critical Role's third campaign. Pâté is a black rat with a raven skull for a head. He wears a red bow tie, and holds a top hat outstretched in one hand, and a fan printed with "10!" in the other. He is posed jauntily on the steps of his birdhouse, and chicken feet are tucked beneath the house's deck.

I drew the main relationship in my novella yesterday. Tillie is an eldritch horror made of spiders, and Ivan works in IT. They're in love. #onehundredthousandlivesafterdeath #writesky #writing #illustration #spiders
a black and white drawing of a couple holding hands. One figure is in glasses and holding flowers, the other is outlined in the negative space between numerous spiders, with a mask floating where the head should be.

I got this book by @hachepueyo.bsky.social and it was so good. Everything i was hoping for. A gorgeous and creepy monster in a beautiful gothic manor and I want to make fanart but idk if i can come close to Anatema's strange beauty. In the meantime, here's my spider toys enjoying it #booksky #books
The book "But Not Too Bold" by Hache Pueyo held by a doll with blue yarn hair and a wooden mask with eight eyes and multiple arachnid legs beneath her skirt, sitting on a chair with two plush spiders.
