Considering the current topic of discussion, I find myself constantly thinking back to Folding Idea's Fifty Shades video series, in particular the section about fiction as a vehicle to safely explore intense and uncomfortable subjects

I will also be replacing the illustration comm slots with a new comm type. The illustrations don’t seem to be in demand rn and I’m going to be accepting requests for Art Nouveau Pin-Up style pieces instead, since I really love drawing those!

My full piece for Charivari, Masks and Swords~

the KS is at 99% and just needs a bit more to reach the stretch goal! There's so much beautiful artwork (and clowns!) in this project~

A illustration of a court jester standing in front of a mural. The jester is smiling slyly and holding up a finger to her lips in a "shush" motion, in her other hand is a large dagger that she is holding behind her back. The mural behind depicts the same jester juggling daggers while masked faces dance around in revelry but towards the bottom of the mural several of the same masked figures writhe in agony as daggers rain down upon them.

Very excited to once again work with the Dames team on their latest project, Charivari! I knew I couldn't pass up the opportunity to work on something relating to carnivals, clowns and jesters~
Please give the KS a look and here's a little peek at my piece~

I set this goal for the purpose of my hiatus and I ended up putting it towards the financial situation I went through, but it means so SO much that it reached over 50%, its really incredible. Again, I just want to reiterate how grateful I am! Thank you, thank you! 🙇

Pre-Order extended for the plush!
It was supposed to end today but since I've been too busy to promote, I've added an extra week!

He's 30 cm with long legs! And heat resistant fiber hair that can be styled! You can also use hair curlers or a hair straightener on low heat too!
When its brushed, his hair is SO soft! I wish had the time to experiment more with hair styles, but I'm in the middle of a big move

Hello! So its been a couple months since the plush went into production and I wanted to provide a update for you folks!
This is a recent image of the sample, but his hair has been adjusted to have a side part, so you will see that when I take my own photos!

ngl, kind of worried this idea will die down by the time I get to my hiatus, so I put up a "Sponsor a WiP" option on my Ko-Fi

obviously personal work will be slow since I'm getting my workload cleared up, but if you support me I will work on WiPs whenever I am able 🙏

#wickart #wickffxivart
illustration of Zenos viator Galvus from FFXIV and a Hyur WoL (Earley). Zenos stands behind Earley, with his ribcage exposed and a flowing cloak that appears to be filled with intestines. He holds up Earley's arms which are poised with a knife and fork over his heart on a plate, the heart connects back into his chest, with the arteries draped over Earley's torso. Earley wears a tunic with large sleeves that is falling off her shoulders, exposing a scar on her chest, there is blood at the corner of her mouth. The illustration is very desaturated except for the color red.

Alright, finally announcing this but this year I'm forcing myself to go on a long hiatus.
I'm going to make a short thread of info, future plans and ways folks can help support me during this break if they're interested
Thank you to anyone who reads it all ❤️
sketchy self portrait of the artist with little lighting bolts near the wrists to signify pain. The image announces in large letters: Taking a Long Hiatus followed by a TLDR that reads: -Taking a half a year to a full year break from commission and freelance work to heal from burn out and wrist pain -Will still keep working on personal art and merch projects but at a slower, steadier pace -check out my shop and patreon if you're interested in supporting me during this break
