(not) fun fact: I had such a long break from traditional art that I forgot how to use my tools properly and nearly destroyed this piece. You don't see it here, but the paper is slightly torn in some parts ;_; This is my OC, Xivaillon. #art #oc #traditionalart

You really thought I would let you keep drawing your comic while I am here all unpetted, unfed, and, uh... unattentioned?! Preposterous. #cat

I reinstalled the game and found out that they added the two locked races to the base game when I was away, and I could make a bunny person! I am so happy that I finally could make a female character with cool thick eyebrows. #ffxiv #videogames #gaming

I reposted it to my Tumblr and decided to show it to you again. It's one of my favorite OCs, Triya! She is a descendant of exiles that found a way to survive in an unusual, for them, cold climate. One day she will get her own novel too! #art #oc

I finally started my second novel! It's still very early in production, so it may feel a little wobbly, but the first chapter is out! I sketched this cover on a piece of paper while waiting for my game to update, lol ypsilenna.art/stories/litt... #novel #art #writing
Illustration for my next novel, Little Star and the City of Wonders. It depicts a steampunk man in a purple coat and top hat with his eyes closed, a little girl with purple braids standing behind him with concern, and a dark beast wrapping around the image like a frame.

A four-panel comic page.
Panel one: Mother snake tries to explain hunting to her hatchlings. "To survive on your own, you will need to learn to hunt."

Panel four: Fang hangs upside down in front of a spider web and steals flies from a poor spider who will probably need to go to the ER because it got so angry it grew a fist to wave at Fang.

Guys, I did it. I finished writing the novel. I will take several days to edit chapter 13 and the epilogue because I am currently too sad that it ended to process it properly. #writing

Peeps, I've just found my old list of OC names and finally know what Zephyr's original name was! I inserted it into this screenshot from the novel. Prepare your eyeballs... #writing
“And who exactly are you?" Raajimera asked him as she made the effort to look around.
“I'm Horwastar Soloridelltere," he responded.
"How am I supposed to remember that?" she complained.

A snippet from chapter 10 of my novel. I am very tempted to draw Feng the snake being dramatic and put it on a t-shirt with the caption "I am a prime example of respecting personal space and boundaries." 😂 I would wear it everywhere... #writing
Bamieh the camel gently turned towards Feng, trying to sniff it.

"Hey, have you got any idea about personal space?!” the snake shouted angrily.
"You're the one to talk." Ragjimera snorted.

"Why would you say that?" Feng asked with frustration in its voice, “I am a prime
example of respecting personal space and boundaries. Tell her!"

Zephyr just looked at the cheeky reptile and said, “I am with her on this."

"Why are you two teaming up against me now?!" Feng hissed even more
frustratedly.

"You licked my ear," Zephyr explained.

"Oh, | get it! You decided to become each other's best friends and leave poor Feng
behind!" Feng moaned and theatrically put its tail tip on its forehead, pretending
that it fainted.

The animal dropped to the ground, feigning death, yet didn't appear even remotely
dead.

"A snake can't even lick people's earlobes anymore; what did the world come down
to..." it complained mournfully.

"Stop being so dramatic," Raajimera said. “Zephyr, why do we need all of these
things?"

Somebody sent me proof that there is a person impersonating me on Discord & trying to scam people. Remember, I'm actually lazy and hate doing commissions. I won't open them unless I REALLY need money. If someone who looks like me offers you one, just check my website because this is probably a scam.
