Hi everyone! In case you didn't know, I have a Ko-Fi shop! I'll be updating it fairly frequently in the next few weeks, so feel free to check it out!
I'm working on a big art project for next year and after several hours I am Visibly Annoyed (TM) to the point that my Dad has now suggested I eat some Chinese takeout and play the Sims.
I am still annoyed, but now I have springrolls, so I guess I'll take a break or whatever... *grumble, grumble*

I'm feeling pretty good going into December :) A PSA for anyone who needs it-- taking time to rest and recuperate as a creative (and as a human!) is a vital and necessary part of the process ;)

Well, I spent a few hours with my new paints this evening AND got to take down an evil Fae ghost with the help of a plucky convenience store clerk. This has been a pretty solid Saturday :D

I think one of my favorite things about my writing this year is how weird my stories have gotten.

They returned to the small cot, still holding hands. Tavla leaned her head against Vayelle’s shoulder.
“Tavla?”
“Hm..?”
“I’m proud of you.”
Tavla smiled without replying. Instead, the former Alchemist just squeezed her friend’s hand a little harder.

Vayelle makes friends easily, while it's a bit harder for my MC, Tavla. Meri doesn't care much about friends and is anxious around people anyway. As for Rimmesa...well, she just makes more enemies 😅
But they all found each other so 🤷

Day 2 of Smaugust and the prompt is 'Clock'. I didn't want to draw an actual clock, so I fudged it to 'clockwork'.
The dragon itself is based off of 'The Tea Dragon Society' by Kay O'Neill, which I love and need to read again 😄

Vayelle, one of my main side characters, is an inventor in a pre-Industrial society. She's fascinated by technology and is constantly tinkering with gadgets that will, hopefully, help her people and warlocks (the magic-users of my world) live in harmony.

D1. Hi, I'm Sara and I write cozy fantasy stories about queer people, giant monsters and the power of friendship!
I'm working on a trilogy about an ace warlock who decides to live on her own terms after meeting an eccentric inventor and discovering she can transform into a giant bird

Smaugust is here! I've been really looking forward to a chance to improve my illustration skills and love dragons, so taking part in this challenge was an easy choice :D
The prompt for day 1 was Book so I drew a library dragon in his little book lair :)

I may be a SFW artist, but I support the freedom of artist expression among my peers who create otherwise. And I know full well the purging of adult content is the canary in the coal mine.

Today has been a rough one, pain-wise. If anyone needs me, I'll be curled on the couch watching Star Trek: Voyager with my doggos.

I really need things to have at LEAST 20% more whimsy before I'm forced to deal with them today

In honor of art fight, I thought I'd share one of my long-running OC's, Kirri :D It's crazy to think that I've been drawing them for 20 years now!
The first picture is from a few days ago and the second is from 2008 :)

HOW IS IT that within the 30 mins I was walking the dogs, I dropped my phone in a puddle (cracking the screen), got scratched by a cat, fell in front of a mower, AND sprained my ankle!? Plus, somehow it's been an hour?! 😱
Like what in the ADHD hell is this? I just wanted to get things done today 😭
