you're my melody / in every key

Illustration of Treble looking through her eyelashes at the viewer aa if taking a selfie. She's all in b&w except for a sheen of color representing music. Her hair is in a high ponytail that looks a little like a music note, and she's wearing a sleeveless dress.

current theory: longer tongue = higher level of relaxation
Photo of a small short snouted white dog tucked into a fluffy dog bed. He's asleep with his tongue sticking out almost 2 inches.

Incomprehensible sneak peek of the next @pwritersu.com project cover 👀
Very rough sketch of speakers, cd players, and headphones from different eras.

creature (wip)
#art #printmaking
Block print and pen details of the word "Need" with a many legged bug crawling over it. Above the bug (centipede?) are dots with wiggly lines around them, like spots of mold. Mark making is relaxing, isn't it?

I'm a window pane / you can see right through

Loose pencil sketch of Anna (original character steampunk robot). She's half smiling and seems happily surprised, looking at someone behind the viewer. Song: I'M IN LOVE!! by Sub-Radio

thinking or feeling, I'm still a machine
#oc #eluthisura #art
Pen and ink drawing of Anna, a steampunk mechanical person with metal wings. She's curled in on herself, ruminating with clenched hands. Around her, giant anatomical human hearts and neurons stretch into the background.

wish you'd stay here (with me)
#oc #eluthisura #art
Messy pencil sketch of Teal working in the bookshop. She's staring down and past the viewer with a sort of melancholy concentration. In the background, the back wall of the shop has a window of small glass panels with ivy growing around it and a bench window seat. The shop door is open as if someone's waiting just behind it.

piggyback as a single mote of dust
#skycotl #thatskygame #art
Four panel digital art comic. In the first panel, a rock-encrusted skykid is followed through Eden by 3 “dead” skykids as points of light. Second panel: live skykid trudges on. Above one of the “dead” skykids, a piggyback invite pops up Third panel: Lots of yelling from the “dead” skykids. One says “I can send piggyback as a single mote of dust??!?” The second says “Did I just see piggyback” In the fourth panel, the third “dead” skykid says “He must be unnerved to have 3 dead people following him” and the other skykids are speechless. Live skykid trudges on.

Blurred photo with a foreground of flowers in front of a face with one visible eye. There is a warm-toned room of knickknacks vaguely visible in the background.

Remembering/reaching for you
#oc #eluthisura #art
Procreate screenshot of Anna, a long-haired steampunk robot, looking wistfully off into the distance. Behind her, a corner of a silhouette can be seen partially offscreen. Only partially colored, still mostly lineart.

salamandered
#art
Egregiously super-saturated salamander on a dark background. It's very shiny (somewhat gelatinous in appearance), contorted on a tiny canvas, and drawn using Posca pens. Personally I think it's cute.

Was accused of this by a friend 😂 trench coat bunnies unite!
Sketch/scribble of 3 bunnies in a baggy trench coat. Clearly they are not using the sleeves, and one is peeking out the front. The Top Bunny is nonchalantly reading the newspaper.

Black & white & bird all over
#art
Gouache & acrylic painting of a brightly colored bird on a dark background. The bird is holding one wing partially in front of its little birdy face and staring at YOU. The brushstrokes are thick and smeary, with only a little blending.

I am watching the flashing of the lights on posts, fluttering in and out between the poles as we pass and I wonder

Are the stars the same?

#eluthisura #art
Digital art of Giselle, a short haired circus performer in a ruffled collar, looking downward introspectively. She has diamond shaped face paint on her forehead, cheeks, and chin. Behind her is a symbol of two crossed swords.

HUMAN ARTISTS, use only one piece to convince people to follow you
#artshare
Digital illustration of two original characters, Anna (left) and Teal (right) sitting on grass in a greenhouse lit up golden with beams of sunlight. Anna is a steampunk robot with long hair wearing a poofy cream dress and red corset; Teal is a human with messy braided hair wearing a blue-green suit. Anna is cupping Teal's face in her hands, and they both appear to be smiling gently.

no thoughts, head melting
#selfportrait
Doodle self portrait surrounded by stars. The artist has giant round bugged eyes, freckles, and hair in a messy bun. They are looking up and away from the viewer. In one hand, they hold a pencil pointed at their chin; they appear to be deep in thought or possibly just spacing out.

from the doodle archives #skycotl
Rough sketch of a short-haired sky kid really biting it, just faceplanting full force. A bird, previously sitting on their head as an accessory, flaps away looking deeply alarmed, shedding feathers.

I might've already posted this HOWEVER if so you get to see it again: my favorite page from a comics intensive summer course
#eluthisura
A 3 panel black and white comic page in square format. In the first panel, Anna is backlit standing in a doorframe, with crosshatched buildings visible behind her. In the second panel, she is visible from the shoulders up, facing outwards; the left side of her face is caved in. In the third and final panel, there is an illustration of mechanical wings emerging from a hole in her back, revealing mechanical parts within.

I ❤️ labeling my sketchbooks
4 sketchbooks arranged on a messy desk so that my custom labels are visible. 1: genetically modified from cockroaches 2: if wishes were fishes we'd be buried in fish 3: MILD GORE (and below, drawing of a person making the expression 😮‍💨) 4: OF QUESTIONABLE MERIT; DO NOT CONSUME (and above, a drawing of a smiling person listening to music with earbuds)

That's what we get for playing during Glitch Time #skycotl
One panel comic. Two sky children of the light players are piggybacking and have flown into a series of bare hills. P1: "Where's the thing?" P2: "We're thingless" Below, the panel is captioned: The quest giver didn't appear (a common early-season bug in sky:cotl)

time to bring this comic back, I fear
2 panel pen & ink comic. Panel 1 has a crouched melting/cracking figure being struck by lightning, gripping their head as if in pain. Panel 2 (labeled exterior view) has a curly-haired person wearing a backpack. Speech bubble from unseen speaker reads "You look great!" and the person responds "Thanks..."

A recent favorite from my 2024 #shufflepoetry project!

"ghost story 3" began as a love note to abandoned internet spaces & became a musing on the mourning of machines for people they used to know.

Coded in HTML/CSS using Perchance, all text written by a human: perchance.org/ghoststory3
Image of a popup window that reads: ghost story in 3 parts (key of a minor) //collate my code & condemn me to columns i wake/i sleep, or a blink of a moment passes (indenting all my brackets: still mired in disarray if you don't look at it, you don't have to think about it.) //there's a mind behind this faulty code, useless as it is. clock-watching is worse when measured in milliseconds. stay with me a little longer. Below: an image of unidentified waveforms.

Let them in! #eluthisura
Stylized illustration: Inside a wood-paneled room warmly lit, there's a table covered in holiday treats. Peering in from outside the window, Anna and Teal peer into the window. Anna stands back with her wings spread, Teal looks excited with her face smashed against the window.
