#JulyInterviewFic Day 2 My heart didn't begin beating until I was 12 years old & laid eyes on the perfection that is Gabriel Castello Roberts. I was in the fogs of disassociation and he was an angel trumpeting a biblical ram's horn in the mist. He was my clarity. Losing him made me who I am today.

#JulyInterviewFic You've given me too much rope, DD. Not enough to hang, but certainly enough to lead the witness. I'm Lir and I'm sure most of you found your way to this interview through recent—and poorly portrayed—media coverage of my trial. Let me correct the record. I'm very, very guilty.

Hourly Comics Day has MOVED! It's the 20th anniversary and we're taking a stand alongside our Black cartoonist members and friends to demand a change to honor Black History Month- draw your comics on the 8th, not the 1st! hourlycomicsday.com #hourlycomicsday #hourlycomicday #hcd

"IN OBSERVANCE & SOLIDARITY". Two black speech bubbles with white text read "HOURLY COMICS DAY IS NOW ON FEB 8TH. CARTOONISTS HONOR BLACK HISTORY MONTH. FEB 1 - MAR 1". There is an illustration of a black silhouetted hand raised and holding a pen in the top right, and an illustration of a nib pen and an ink well personified on the bottom right. The nib and ink are bumping fists. A URL at the bottom is "hourlycomicsday.com".

It's #Portfolioday apparently! So why not join in. I'm a watercolourist based in the UK. My favourite genre is fantasy and folklore with a heavy leaning on creatures, but I have dabbled in other areas! www.emilyhare.co.uk/pages/portfo... #dragons #dragonart #creatureart #fantasyart #watercolour

A peaceful scene of a swamp, with greens, blues and purples, a tree in the foreground and the head of a huge dragon visible resting in the water. A white heron takes off next to the dragon and it's eye is open.

a blue dragon prepares to land at its nest of two dragonlings atop a huge mountain. Pale pink mountains with mists are in the background

half human/half tentacles. The being stares at the viewer while relaxing in a cave pool with its tentacles coming out of the water, its upper body looks humanoid with long black hair and white glowing eyes.

The conversation goes like this: “Will you swim today?” “I don’t know. It’ll be cold after.” “Did you bring your suit?” “…” ~after the swim~ “Are you glad you swam?” “😬🥹🌊😍✨” I perpetually forget my need to be immersed in water. Thank goodness for a partner who doesn’t 🌊

I was looking through paintings to share with y’all for International Women’s day, and stopped on this one. The feminine loss and grief still feels palpable in this sketch. Women are incredible. People are incredible. I’m so grateful for the opportunity to be on this earth with each of you.

A deer in a shadowy purple wood, rearing up with wisps of gold whirling around it. Pink light streams from its eyes, and a glow from behind frames its head.

Page of Wands - A young girl in Indian dress uses a magic wand for the first time, grinning as she throw sparks and streaks of pink light. At her feet is a grove of pumpkins carved into Jack o' Lanterns, which she's trying to light.

A black, serpentine dragon with an iridescent shine to its scales. It coils and flies over an autumn forest, rustling up orange leaves as it passes. Behind it stretch a wooded valley and rounded mountains.

A young queen in a gauzy purple gown holds two daggers, marching down a hall, framed by vine-covered arches and glaring light.

Hey there #Portfolioday - I'm a UK based artist and work in watercolours. In the past have worked with Hitpoint Press for their cards, I am also fond of a book cover. Fantasy & Folklore & Creatures are my thing. www.emilyhare.co.uk

a black furry three eyed creature in a forest at the base of a tree with old armour and discarded items around him. Next to him is an old sword stuck in the ground, some spilled gold from a purse, an old boot with the leg bone still in it and in the shadows behind him there is another tree with more creatures like him on it.

lesser demon painted for hitpoint press. A hairy pink creature with sharp claws, one knee up, prancing across the page with curls of green stink coming from its mouth. It has twisted grey horns and its ears stick out at the sides. It has loads of sharp teeth and bright yellow eyes and a red nose.

Gnoll painted for hitpoint press. The twisted face of a knoll, brown with dark brown spots, white eyes and a nose with gold rings in it. Scars on the face and loads of sharp teeth are being bared at the viewer.

An illustration of a person from the chin down. They have both their arms around black wolves, which are asleep and cuddled against the person. Two more wolves are asleep and piled on top. The person and the animals are all smeared and smattered with blood, indicating they had a great meal together.

A man wearing armor with large black and white wings outstretched behind him walking towards sunrise/sunset. He has his arm reaching back to grab the hilt of a sword with his seated between his wings.

A woman dressed in white standing amidst a roaring blizzard in the forest. Her hair and hood are whipped by the wind; her eyes are glowing, and she's cradling a baby-shaped wrapped object in her arms. Her dress and mouth are stained with blood.
