Writing Updates: The 1st Draft for Trusted Auth🚫rity is done. No promises but likely early 2028, barring bad health. Edits for my 🏳️‍🌈♿ YA fantasy are paused due to seasonal migraines. Wrote 3.5k of anti-ai fox god draft. It's delightfully violent. 😁

If you're a beta reader, and you have an ai gen pfp, and you follow me, I'm just gonna block you. I will not work with ai. You have made yourself untrustworthy by using it. It's like wearing a pirate site's logo on your shirt, and insisting you're not gonna pirate our books.

Finished commission for one of my players of a scene that happened during a session a bit back. It features their character, Crystal, and one of my npcs, her love interest, Oberon. #commissionsopen #elfenjoyers #art #fantasyart #bookart #fantasy #vgen

Working on the ending of my draft for Trusted Auth🚫rity. I know the ending I want, but the ending I want is a lot longer than what I wanted to write... Less than 10k words & it won't be a novella anymore... I got this! (Probably)😅

Dear ai bros, FUCK OFF. Dear bots, ALSO FUCK OFF. When a post starts with "I shouldn't be surprised ai bros ignore the harm they cause," makes you think I want to talk to you??? Unless you've reformed and recovered from your ai addiction, seek conversation elsewhere.

Title reveal. A while ago I held a poll (elsewhere) to choose between 2 titles for my wip without revealing what they were. A was Coping Mechanisms. B was Trusted Authority. B won & my most sarcastic title has been chosen. Release date tbd (Font not final)

Text image: a prenatal influencer in her 50s goes missing right after giving birth.

Her adult transgender son must find her while dealing with surprise parenting, incompetent cops, relationship complications, gun toting zealots, and government conspiracies.

It's a mystery drama with lives and livlihood on the line.

Text image: trusted authority, a novella (probably)

I have decided I'm not angry, because I know ai pushers don't care about future losses or the environmental, social, and personal impacts of ai, so here it is. The company that emailed me with shiny promises was Quarterfull. They glossed over the environmental impacts I brought up be calling them

Black Forest Labs (like Stability AI) likely took a bunch of work off the internet in order to train their AI. A bill in California would force transparency in their dataset. Want to help it pass? Please sign this petition in support, it'll take you 2 minutes: tinyurl.com/4uxbp963 1/

3/ So shame on Mr. Scorsese and any big name creative, who uses their name and power to throw every single one of their creative peers under the bus, to sanitize the most outrageous and egregious acts that these companies have and continue to engage in. You sully your legacy and your reputation.

1/ This company’s models were trained on web scraped datasets (like LAION) and their founders are ex-Stability AI employees who engage in the same thieving practices that led artists like myself to sue Stability. GenAi companies NEED big names to sanitize their exploitation and crippling PR.

🌌 COMMISSIONS OPEN 🌌 I'm opening all commission types for July/August. They will remain available until I decide I have enough work, so probably around 3 regular slots, 5 sketches and up to 10 circle babies. 💙 The couples are 30% off; full illustrations 20% off. pricing&tos VGen

A moodboard containing four images. The first one is an anthropomorphic lizard with blue skin who is wearing a dark blue veil and gown, decorated with silver jewelry and blue flowers. The crescent moon shines above her. The background is dark, full of stars. The second one is two blue lilies against starry night background. The third one is light blue hands with darker gradient on the fingers and with white glowing starry marks, also against starry night background. The fourth one is an eight-pointed star surrounded by nebulae and smaller stars.

An anthropomorphic lizard, Sophia, with blue spotted skin, creating a golden four-pointed star in her left hand. She is wearing a dark blue dress with long puff sleeves and golden constellation embroidery. Next to her there is a tree with black branches, blue leaves and white flowers. A purple smoke with golden particles is floating behind her.

A woman's portrait. She has vibrant blue eyes, pale skin, and long wavy platinum blonde hair decorated with blue flowers. She is wearing a holographic blue lipstick, shiny blue eyeshadow, and a dark blue dress with a periwinkle blue brooch on the neck. The background is dark gray with a blue circle in the center.

A portrait of an anthropomorphic lizard. She had light blue skin with darker blue spots, dark blue eyes with white glowing pupils, and glowing starry marks on her forehead and chest. She is wearing a dark blue dress with puff sleeves, a thick dark blue veil decorated with a blue lily flower, and a lighter blue shawl.
