A man in socks stands in front of a full-length mirror. He wags his finger in the air and speaks to his reflection, "Me? No  no  no... I don't dance. I would never." But he's fibbing to himself and us, reader. He knows it too because as soon as he finishes the conversation, he begins dancing. And dancing well. We can see that his bold and confident moves are clearly inspired by Gene Kelly and Bob Fosse.

I am still around, I admittedly am far off the reading path, I’ve been chipping tiny bits away at my creative projects, auditioning for other people’s projects, working (full time now, woohoo!), trying to find a vehicle for myself (exhausting), and hanging out with my partner when I do have downtime

If you haven’t seen Midnight Mass, I highly recommend watching, and if you don’t like spoilers, don’t open this. I needed this scene in a different angle & from my own hands~ *I marked this as graphic because it is a spoiler, mainly, but to be fair, I suppose it can also be considered graphic… #👑🎨🍒
Digital painting of a crucial scene in Midnight Mass by Mike Flanagan (on Netflix) - this scene happens in episode 5; if you do not want spoilers, skip the description of this image~ Image created with IbisPaint X. NO AI. I drew this on my phone with a stylus~
SPOILER BELOW
Riley, Left; an adult white male in a brown jacket, and Erin, Right; an adult white woman in a green jacket with an orange blanket on her lap, are sitting in a small boat on a large body of water. The sun is just beginning to rise, and Riley’s head has just burst into flames. He is sitting calmly, accepting his fate, while Erin cowers and pulls her legs away from the spreading flames, screaming. (In this image, the fire is mostly localized to his head, with smoke trailing up and away from them.)

Between learning the app and actual “paint to canvas” time, this piece took me around 9 hours. I’m very proud of the outcome!!

[REDACTED] has been spotted on camera! @ruedefaux.bsky.social did such a wonderful job capturing my beloved biohazard⚠️One half of pre-fused HEIST, he certainly holds a special place in my heart(s)~ I often downplay/don't share many horror elements of their tale, but, they are prominent haha~~ #👑🍒🎨
Digital portrait of my character, [REDACTED], done by RUEDEFAUX on BSky (tagged) -- R is a humanoid alien. This work depicts him brandishing his large mouth that can open similar to a snake, with three rows of teeth and a long, venom-like tongue. In this rendition, he has fully ringed eyes, which implies that he is using his hypnosis, and he has his quill-hair raised. He is in a dark and dingy cement room with many pipes and chains. He has glasses hanging casually from the neck of his shirt. 

BONUS LORE
After the crash, meeting C, and learning that he harms those around him, R takes to hiding in underground passages of several sorts. This features him in a sort of sewer-looking tunnel; C would often meet him in said tunnels to avoid detection as well as to avoid accidentally dosing the local population with a HEFTY dose of radiation. *The containment simply aids/slows the dosing -- his Geiger clicks are basically a continuous screech haha, so he eventually returns to where she found him (an above-ground, sea-side cave system.)

@semaalo.bsky.social has done an incredible job telling HEIST's story through art! We worked out details and such pretty easily and I couldn't be happier with the final outcome! If you have the means and wish to commission semochka I truly encourage it! I added some details in the ALT text~ #👑🍒🎨
General description of image:
Art by @semaalo.bsky.social 
A stack of newspaper clippings and images - all focus on details of HEIST's origin story. HEIST is a four-armed humanoid fusion - they are my OC and persona. The have different colored eyes, elf-like ears, sharper-than-human teeth and tri-colored hair. (red, blonde, brown)
Specifics About the Image:
The main image in the stack - center - is of HEIST holding up an x-ray of their chest, which shows their odd conjoined heart. They (HEIST) have their lower set of arms in an open position, framing the words "The Anatomy of HEIST" in a horror-style font. They are standing in a basement, in front of exposed pipework. They are wearing an alt-style outfit which consists of chains, dark colors and a collar.
Behind the main image, there is a photo of [REDACTED] with his alien-mouth opening, (CENSORED) with her hair covering most of her face, hazmat men looking at an impact crater in their yellow suits, a sequence of bunnies dying to radiation (no gore shown), and various newspaper clippings referring to a light streaking across the sky. 
The bottom, secondary-focus image is one that shows a night scene, rolling hills with a farm - the family farm of (CENSORED) - in the bottom right corner. There is a meteor streaking overhead, heading for impact in the distance.

This STUNNING piece of [R] and (C) is a commission done by @monlopolo.bsky.social -- I am so in love with the final and I need you all to see it as well~!! * This is technically (C)'s official face reveal! Hopefully she'll pop up more at some point! I love my fashionistas hehe 🧡🍒 #👑🍒🎨
Digital art of my two characters, drawn by monlopolo 
R (humanoid alien man, 7ft 1in) and C (human woman, 5ft 5in) -- R is wearing his trademark outfit; green hoodie with a star, a striped shirt, purple-ish pants and dark brown boots, and C is in her matchy-matchy trademark outfit: brown boots, white striped socks over green striped tights, a purple skirt with church-window detailing and lace, a chunky heart belt, a striped long sleeve, and a brown tank top over it. C has long, curly, dark red hair and grey (blind) eyes. R is wearing his glasses and his hair down to hide his elf-like ears -- full "incognito earthling" mode. There are small doodle-hearts around them, because they are in love~~~ C is holding onto R's arm sweetly.

Three panel comic. Panel 1: an underwater submersible opens a latch and drops a red, pill-shaped crappy Bluetooth speaker. A scientist narrates, “we built a Bluetooth speaker to withstand 2000 meters.” Panel 2: the scientist, speaking directly to the camera, continues: “the squids responded really well to Nelly.” Panel 3: on the dark depths of the ocean floor, a group of squids are dancing enthusiastically around the sunken Bluetooth speaker. A couple of them are getting kinda nasty with it to be perfectly honest

10 days later I’m able to say that the film did everything for me that I wanted, needed, and more. The ending really recontextualizes the entire series and I will admit I wept for several minutes bc they wrapped everything up so well. If you care about Monk and have access to the movie, #🎬HeistRecs

The image is of a four panel comic.
Panel one shows an eldritch god, a skeletal possum like creature with large antlers, saying "I AM AS OLD AS THE FOREST ITSELF". 
Panel two shows a stick figure saying, "But you must have been a baby at some point?"
Panel three shows the eldritch god saying "Well. Yes."
Panel four shows a tiny eldritch baby sitting on a rock, his antlers just little twigs.

For seemingly no reason other than my mental well being full, my writing gears have begun to turn again - not even slowly, I’m getting quite a bit of detail work done that I’ve put aside for a detail-heavy plot (intentionally vague) and it just feels so nice to no longer have cobwebs forming

Got my copy of The Dream Thieves (GN) & I am devouring it. It’s so lovely to see the details from the books throughout the pages — I ADORE The Raven Cycle and I desperately need to fully restart call down the hawk etc etc. I LOVE RONAN LYNCH. BOOK 2/4 is MY FAVORITE! *Side notes in ALT & below #👑🍒📙
Front cover of the “The Dream Thieves” - the graphic novel rendition of the same-titled novel by Maggie Stiefvater. The front cover features Ronan, a white teenaged boy with dark hair all buzzed off, looking ready to block something from coming toward him. There are branches with greenery, Raven wings, red eyes, white sunglasses (IYKYK,) car keys, and a single tarot card surrounding him. This GN (and the previous volume) was adapted and illustrated by Sas Milledge.

PERSONAL COMMENTS
I love the art style of these novels and how it makes the characters and plot feel both detached and very set in our own reality. The adaptations have held enough together to keep up even for first-time-readers of TRC (the Raven Cycle; series name for all four books) — as someone who has loved these books for years, I’m so glad to see them revived in a way that really does the story and characters justice. I need more people to talk with about this series. I love Kavinsky. Well…. Love/Hate. I love The Grey Man. I won’t say more — so much happens in the series that I would hate to spoil every inch of it… but I could yap every inch of it with someone who has already read it!! So many great quotes and concepts and actualizations and I really am nerding out over it. I hope to receive my “preorder swag” soon-ish! ((Pre-order benefits include art-cards of different characters with quotes from said characters on the backs of their respective cards and a small signed bookplate — signed by Maggie Stiefvater, not SAS Milledge)) Its been years since a reread, it’s so nice to dive back in and refamiliarize myself with all that’s going on 🧡🤓

Steve, reading from a card, says, “the new Miss Universe is…” Panel 2: “Xugrulon Prime!” A tearful alien is bestowed with a crown and bouquet of flowers as confetti falls around her. Panel 3: back home on xugrulon prime, her family proudly celebrates in front of their TV set. Two of them embrace, another is taking a video on their phone, and a little larval baby with a pacifier sits among them.

I love #bridgekids (on YT) and I love Lars and Marc Anthony the most from the series - which is ongoing! Bridge Kids has a lot of funny characters + designs, but these two are my darlings. Maybe I'll attempt the others one day! (Or at least Marc Anthony in his pumpkin costume!) -`♡´- #👑🎨🍒
A sketch of Lars and Marc Anthony from the YouTube series "Bridge Kids" -- they are in their usual cartoon style + show outfits and there is no color in the image. They stand side by side, Marc Anthony looking up at his brother, Lars looking out of frame. Finished drawing of the brothers Lars and Marc Anthony, fully colored and lined etc - They both have medium length brown hair, baggy pants, primarily white shoes, and a red design on their shirts. Lars has army green pants, red stripes on his shoes that are scribbled over to be black, and a blue-grey shirt with a red skull on it with the word 'skol.' He is the taller, older brother. Marc Anthony has baggy blue jeans, two blue stripes on his shoes that are scribbled over to be black (just like his brother, aw) and a purple-grey shirt that has a red pentacle in the center. My not-really-signature is placed in between the brothers.

I *love* how this turned out. It took me a few hours, but I listened to an audiobook while working on it, so it felt like no time at all. This was a texture study. I have other sweets to do as well - I just couldn't resist the Max and Ruby cake!! I hope the theme song gets stuck in your head~🎵 #👑🎨🍒
A side by side of the same cake (the half pink + half chocolate cake from Max and Ruby) - on the left, a digital art rendition done by me, using the software Krita, and on the right, an irl photo (not mine, taken from Pinterest) of the same cake. 
The cake is round and split down the middle, half with pink icing and the other with chocolate icing. The chocolate side has crumbled cookies and gummy worms, with raspberries around that half's edge. The pink side has rainbow sprinkles with colorful stars and dots - there is yellow piping around the bottom of the pink side, and there are dollops of yellow frosting around the edges of that half, which hold individual, unlit candles atop each dollop. This was done as a way to practice texture! I think I did okay, I really like how it looks! The gummy worms took a while.
