Blue Dissolve (Takin' a Break!) @blue-dissolve.bsky.social · 22/08/2026
See you all in October 🎃
Drawing of the artist chained to a table, hammering away at a typewriter. She looks distressed, exclaiming "I'm on hiatus!". Side text reads "AKA I'm not dead! (Just suffering)""At last! A hiatus induced by somewhat good events! 

I'm working on wrapping up my Masters degree (surprise, btw) and I need to be offline for a while so I can focus on all the essays I need to do. 
It's been a rough few months, RE:Wrist fracture last year, along with other crap I'd rather not get into. All of this leading me to have the work ethic of a stoned sloth, which you can imagine has bit me on the ass BADLY.

I'll be back online for mid-late October with all the drawings that I probably did in my downtime. And if you DO see me online before then, hit me with a broom.

Peace and Luv ✌️
-Blue-Dissolve (Liv)"

This beautiful dictionary of colours found in nature dates back to more than a century before Pantone. 🎨 Werner's Nomenclature of Colour was an indispensable resource for Charles Darwin, helping him describe new species. We love these natural colours - which page do you like best?
A page of an old book titled “Blues” with a chart of different shades, naming each shade with an example of an animal, vegetable and mineral of that colour.Another page titled “Reds” with a chart various shades with an animal, vegetable and mineral for each.An old book page titled “Yellows” with a chart citing various shades of yellow with an animal, vegetable and mineral of each colour for reference.Another page titled “Greens” with a chart of various shades of green with an animal, vegetable and mineral of each shade.

RP in the Quake Forums #engiemedic
Art of TF2 Medic and Engineer, split-screen as they both use 90s computers to talk to each other. Medic, in an undone dress shirt, smokes a cigarette and Engineer, wearing a hoodie and glasses, drinks a beer.
In the background, versions of them wearing the attire of their original "TeamFortress" Quake mod counterparts pose powerfully.

Bonbon #thewaltenfiles
Art of Bon (the rabbit) and Bon (the figure) from The Walten Files. In the centre, a cartoonish rabbit bon clasps his hands together and lifts on leg behind him. There are love hearts and a caption reading "I wuv you!".
Bon, the figure, wraps around the frame with elongated hands, mouth wide as he stares at the viewer.

Three panel comic. Panel 1: a man in a tie looks miserable, head in hands, while sitting at a bus stop in the city. He’s thinking, “can’t believe I have work today…” Panel 2: he looks up at the city to find it ablaze, actively being destroyed by the Cloverfield monster/kaiju. Panel 3: the man looks off to the side and makes a mildly surprised expression with a cute subtle smile.

The Herald of Slumber Couldn't decide on a hat so you get all 3. Number 2 is just goofy enough that I like it the most, but I don't think it's serious enough for the dark-fantasy setting of LAMENT lol. Which hat is the best? I'm still on the fence about this character design.

Vintage matchbox labels and other everyday ephemera offer a window into the styles, products, and aspirations of bygone eras. These Soviet matchbox covers promotes nuclear technology's promise. Find more fascinating items in the Matchbox Posters Archive ⤵️ archive.org/details/matc...
Two Soviet matchbox labels from the "Мирный Атом" (Peaceful Atom) series, printed on red textured cardstock. The top label features the Bowl of Hygieia — a snake coiled around a chalice, the symbol of pharmacy and medicine — alongside the atomic orbital symbol and the text "Мирный Атом." The bottom label depicts a round-bottomed flask, a test tube, and an industrial plant silhouette, again with the atomic orbital symbol and the text "Мирный Атом." Both labels use a bold two-color graphic style in navy blue and white on red.

A bow has been painted onto the image to make appear as if Topsey is wearing a ribbon that ties in front.

Rambly OC notes with sketches
Sketch of my Jester OC Nicolas, suckling on a liquorice root sans cowl. Smaller sketches of a gnawed liquorice root and a smile with missing teeth are next to him. Text reads:
"Nicolas' teeth are the result of [Text hidden]. He Blames [Text hidden] but won't admit it.
He has a moderate speech impediment (S=TH, squelch sounds), that gets played up in public. In private he will rarely speak unless he's really comfortable with the person.
Back in those times, bad smell=illness. Nicolas, not wanting his mouth to get worse AND have people think the same, chows on any spices he can get. His breath reeks [of] either cloves or liquorice root.
He misses being able to bite an apple"
Drawing of my oc, Bernard, waking up from his bed. He wears braies and one hosen on his right foot. Below, a close up of his necklace and two versions of his right foot (bare and covered) are present. His foot is missing the two smaller toes with damage around the area. Text reads:
"Bernard's foot was broken in a horse riding incident, leading to his little toe getting crushed and his ring (?) toe also fucked. To stop a growing infection, both were removed by a surgeon who was def shooting his shot.
He refused to rest and made his foot worse, eventually leaving Calais on his mentor's strong suggestion. He has chronic ache, imbalance and a slight limp.
Bernard wears hosen on his foot, even on warm nights. When in public, his hosen have padding where the toes would be, along with wide boots for stability. Medicinal wine is also common in Bernard's diet." The final paragraph has been blacked out.

Sleepless Knight (2024) [ #art | #oc ]
older digital painting of knight oc Wreg on balcony during summer night. He's shirtless and leaning onto the balcony railing, looking away from the viewer. There are two light pink flower petals left on the balcony railing, close to Wreg's hand - he has likely ripped them, or someone left in a hurry. Wreg also has a red sash tied to the right side of his belt.

Our age of middle is collapsing 🗣️🗣️ #ocs #ocsky
Two panel comic featuring my medieval OCs, Nicolas the Jester and Bernard the Knight.

The first panel shows them reacting to the artist telling them "Good news! You guys are getting a gritty, mainstream adaptation!". The two look up, Bernard suspiciously confused about this.

In the second panel: the duo's clothes have been magically changed from bright, 15th century style jester motley and armour into earth-toned, leather armour that is vaguely middle ages. Nicolas' motley is now a hoodie with tiny ears, also. Both men now have modern hairstyles, with some less attractive features removed from their looks.
