Old art that I still quite like. Feeling like a good time to share it

No coffee shop order would be complete without a misspelled name on the cup.

Scitch still uses her legal name, Skye, outside of her closest friends and allies. It's not really a dead name, as she still likes it, but the name Scitch is more "her"

Happy first day of October! It's Scitch's birth month, so here she is enjoying the season 🍂

(She raided her partner's wardrobe for that outfit)

Outfits and situations
A character wearing a long patchwork coat and lower face covering stands on top of a building surrounded by flames, and a magic fire summoned in one hand. She faces the viewer, looking down with an intense expression, only her eyes visible.

I only have three characters listed so far, but I have more refs in the works. We'll see if I can get them posted before the first

I'm constantly putting this girl in outfits and situations

Today is World Schizophrenia Awareness day

We as a society desperately need to break down the stigma around schizophrenia spectrum disorders, and this is absolutely a hill I will die on

Threw some quick color on it to maximize the coziness
The same drawing rendered in purple and yellow. It's now dark outside the windows and raindrops are trickling down the glass. The inside is only lit by the string lights.

Sometimes you gotta doodle a cute sun room on a sticky note to get through an exhausting work day

Coming up on a year since I lost my sweet, stupid boy, Patches. I've been thinking about him and the other piggies a lot lately. They were all so fun and unique and charming 💜

I'm still not ready for a new pet, but I sure miss having guinea pigs

I'm the kind of person who skips over intermediate steps and dives straight into the deep end, apparently. Only one beginner cross stitch under my belt and I decided to tackle this pattern by @16pxl.bsky.social next. Really enjoying it so far 💜

Cozy in bed, working on a comic page, with two whole kitties to keep me company. Sometimes life isn't so bad.

Some little sketches I did of Scitch in recent months. I recently updated her design, and some of these were still during the exploration part of that process.
A rough sketch of Scitch leaning back against something, her eyes closed, and a mug in one hand. She's wearing a loose-fitting tank top and has bandages around her wrists and chest under the tank top. A pencil and ink drawing of Scitch in an energetic pose, one hand summoning fire. She's wearing a loose cropped t-shirt and sweatpants, and grinning. Criss-crossing marks are visible on her wrists. A rough profile portrait sketch of Scitch leaning forward, her hair hanging down on the far side of her head. She has a tired expression on her face as she glances to the side. A rough portrait sketch of Scitch. She's facing forwards, but looking up and to the side. She's wearing dark eyeshadow.

I've recently been rotating an old character in my head again. For anyone unfamiliar, this is Scitch. She has been one of my brain children since 2006, with several different interations over the years. This version of her has been around since 2015/16-ish.

I'd missed drawing her. Been a while

She has two gold cartilage earrings in her left ear, and a mischievous and somewhat threatening expression on her face.
