i’ve been really hesitant to post because everything is on fire, so i’ll only post it here:
i’ve got a ko-fi now!! ko-fi.com/scoutstiel
slowly crawling back onto the internet after a month of body horror
i was finally feeling good enough to exercise again and promptly destroyed my body by drawing a bunch of massive jellyfish on the sidewalk in one sitting

not me in the hospital yet again for another stage 4 hypertensive crisis!!! hahahaha truly a fanciful love affair with having a stroke what can i say

i have no new art to post yet and i have been dodging social media, but i’m still chipping away at my big personal project. i’ve been very bad at answering DMs, here’re pictures of the cats to hopefully make up for it

🧵 i always space having my bsky but i realized i needed a public forum to say “aloud” that today i am starting the meat of the work for an original graphic novel i plan to make 200+ pages. all my own characters, stories, environments. the works.

just got back from mini-vacay that was the stand-in for my birthday.
went to raleigh to see a show, and i’ve wanted to see Ninja Sex Party for well over a decade. in a sea of 1500 people, i somehow managed to ride the tide and was basically in front near the end.

and i-i saw…i saw…

i am in absolute shock. i’d done some research into the local moth populations a ways back, and have desperately tried to find luna moths for years. this morning, for the first time in my life, i saw a live luna moth in the wild!? i thought i was hallucinating! but look!!! 😭😭😭

i finally got through all my out-of-nowhere insane last-minute projects from last month. completely ignored my own birthday in that time so i’m going to just spend the week…being as dumb as life allows me. less brain starting today until like friday…yeah

i’ve had a couple of big projects that require all of my time and have wild deadlines. one i had to REALLY quickly piece together, but i’m pleased with how it turned out. impossibly this was an approved sketch, which i explained “please entertain that this is a man’s hand holding a tactical handgun”

even if i didn’t have it written down, i’d know it’s con season based solely on the amount of panicked last-minute needs/requests of regulars on the circuit. 😂 i miss everyone very much, and it does warm my heart knowing i still occupy a little dark corner of at least a small group of ppls’ brains.

omg. there’s no way this charm isn’t at LEAST 5-6 years old. heather, i am so incredibly impressed…both by your dedication and charm upkeep, because damn!! 🥹

after doing so many large acrylic paintings, my love for little gouache paintings in my sketchbook has intensified. distance truly makes the heart grow fonder

although i won’t immediately be able to get to them, i’ll bump commission info. inquiries for anything else (like cartoon/illustrative stuff) can be discussed!
my con schedule is still unclear and tragically empty, so i’ll still be posting about these on more frequent occasion:
COMMISSION INFO!
FINALLY!
it has literally been years since i’ve been able to successfully have time to do them. so LET’S GOOOO!!
please let me know if anyone has any questions!
March 24, 2025 at 3:13 PM
this… is INCREDIBLE.
thank you SO much. i’m so honored and grateful!! i poured a lot of love into these, and it really is such a huge pleasure to see them all together like this.
Finally got my @scoutstiel.bsky.social artwork from @stands.bsky.social on the wall. It’s so beautiful. 🥰
March 24, 2025 at 3:09 PM
COMPLETELY caught up on commissions!!! i dangled a carrot in front of my face, which was my sketchbook. i haven’t allowed myself to do anything other than commissions the last month.
but i’ve also been watching severance.
i want to paint severance things.
so.
bad.

i don’t think i’ve ever painted or drawn anyone from the angle i had to paint and draw dean from. the blue steel shines from all angles.
thank YOU, rachel!! 💕

i’m still not done with this commission, but absolutely aghast at how long it’s taken me.

i’m usually intimidated by painting faces and capturing a likeness, but these two detailed off-white/cream colored costumes with like, blue reflections and yellow lighting…my brain…

have had to slow my roll big time this week thanks to a series of cluster headaches. i’ve managed to fight off a migraine i think, but i’ve lost a lot of painting time to it. so frustrating. when i try to literally work through it, i always end up having to re-paint over whatever i did 🥲
March 7, 2025 at 5:05 PM
this is the best thing ever!!!! i heavily encourage anyone with a new pet portrait to let me know how the pet themselves jives with it. much love to you and penny! ♥️

and so, commissions continue on!
My @scoutstiel.bsky.social commission is here. ❤️❤️❤️
Penny approves.
Thank you again, so much. I cannot tell you how happy I am and how wonderful this is.

making slow but steady progress on commissions. 2 fully knocked out and shipped; the rest in progress. i had intended on having a lot of these done before feb, but because of the late canvas shipping, it’s pushed everything by about a week. 😪

spending my entire day, a beautiful afternoon, trapped in the hell that is the DMV. some people have already been here for 3 hours. some took a lunch break and still weren’t called.

if i’ve learned nothing else, it’s that i never want to work here
February 24, 2025 at 6:24 PM
I’VE DONE IT! i spent my entire day getting all of the commissions that came in sketched and primed. i’ve also emailed everyone with updates.

i’m so upset i lost all those days, but happy for the progress. pet portraits all came in first, so those are first on the chopping block! 🔥🔥🔥
…THEY’RE HERE!!! several days and also hours later than i’d hoped. but eyyy sunday will be sketch drop dayyyy! 🎉
