nails still short, put some sheer purple over gold for a slightly antique look that totally changes from sunlight to shade.

Never posted this by itself, but Collateral Damage by Taylor Simonds is now available online with a new cover illustrated by me and formatting by Rena Violet!

nail update after the candy corn polish peeled off~

the slight purple iridescence with the gold flourishes on top seem very rapunzel to me. ☀️

my friend loaded me up w/ fancy nail things to try & make stronger nails/make the nail polish last longer, so i’m kind of hoping it’ll help keep them from breaking to the quick so easily. 😅 it’s a good incentive to keep experimenting with fancy nails, tho! my husband even let me do his nails, too!

attempted metallic candy corn nails last night to make me feel better at having toddler hands right now (swollen + nails keep breaking from low iron 😩)

haven’t drawn verity in a long while! sometimes i can’t resist adding extraneous sparkle for no reason. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

i know this will be shocking to hear, but i am in fact a professional artist who even very occasionally tries to draw for herself sometimes still ✍️😭 #sketch #art

why would depictions of rape be a bad thing at all? it's fictional. these guidelines should focus on harm to real people because the alternative ultimately serves to censor discussions around sexual topics. also, it'd be banning a ton of classical works of art in the name of discomfort.

THIS is why i've been so tired and incapable of finishing most of my projects, btw. now you all get to hear my complaining with its true context!

4th day of gencon was much chiller for us, finally got to catch up with some friends properly, and i got to do the free paint and take! this is my favorite gencon tradition.

oh and i got to crash the darrington press booth for a bit while @shmaba.bsky.social signed daggerheart stuff with @therowanhall.bsky.social and @spenserstarke.bsky.social ! 💜 maybe next time i’ll think to get a photo of them from them front. 😂

one time in college, @shmaba.bsky.social set an alarm for me on my phone for 9am, and i’ve kept it through all my phones since. :>

this cotton/silk blend voile is sooo lovely, but i’m afraid my color variations are too subtle to even pick up well on camera. :/ it’s really pretty in person but maybe needs another try.
