Had a lot of spare photographs and decided to make a moodboard out of them just for fun. I am working on a short story featuring a goblin so I thought it would be handy to have.

A moodboard consisting of photographs of a toad, a frog, a mushroom, a creature made of pebbles and sticks and a tree branch background with the words “Goblincore” over the branch.

It annoys me when I see a library use AI generated pictures while I have free images on my online shops right here that promote reading without wasting water. payhip.com/b/7bCXu ko-fi.com/s/f82313dab9

I recently finished listening to The Vanishing Cherry Blossom Bookshop audiobook and I liked it. I wouldn’t call it a cosy read but the emotional journeys each character goes through is very touching.

Just recently submitted 2 dragon inspired submissions to 2 different things. Then I finally used the polymer clay I had for ages to make a book dragon charm. I’m definitely feeling that Smaugust vibe despite not taking part in it.

A blue and white polymer clay dragon rests on a blue and white clay book with a metal hook coming from its back to make a charm. It is in front of books on a shelf.

Highly doubt this character could make it in due to the game being so obscure. I’d choose Maximillion from Dark Chronicle (Dark Cloud 2). I could imagine his final smash being the Ridepod.

Decided to show 2: my oldest physical game and newest physical game. They’re both fun in their own ways.

I’m listening to this audiobook while out of town and I think it’s an understatement to say the author really nails down why we all hate automated AI services that put us in endless queues.

My artwork also appears in the following zines: Birds Zine by Coin Operated Press Holidays And Horns by MCC Zines

There is also a transparent PNG available with the digital print so it can be used to suit your needs. Or you can just screenshot this one with the watermark, I don’t mind. We need to promote literacy somehow. #mermay

Make the fake body darker and we would’ve had a good KH outfit on the carpet.

This took a bit longer to finish due to life related stuff but its done in time for the #autisticcomictakeover For #autismacceptancemonth I made this comic about finding the people who understand you and how they make you feel welcome. Kind of loosely based on my own search for a friend group. 1/2

Panel 1: A wolf with a crescent moon on her back sits under a tree looking out at the woods under the title 'The Pack' by L. Dest

Panel 2: The wolf warily walks through the dark forest alone in the woods with the text above her, "I'm autistic and for a while I struggled."

Panel 3: 5 woodpeckers hit the trees above the wolf making her wince with the text above her, "I felt like I was the only wolf in a forest full of woodpeckers." The words Peck come from all the woodpeckers.

Panel 4: The wolf has her ears back, eyes tightened, a darkness surrounding her. The text bubble reads: ‘Trying to survive when the senses were too much…

… it was exhausting.’

Panel 5: The darkness gone, the wolf stands in the forest again with ears perked at the sound of a twig 'snap'. The text bubble reads "But eventually after so much searching…"

Panel 6: The wolf finds a pack of wolves. One with a chipped ear standing on the snapped twig wagging his tail to greet her. One lying down with one eye open. One white wolf with grey patches hiding behind a rock with her head peaked out. Another grey wolf hiding behind the rock but eyes drifting towards a butterfly.

Panel 7: Text bubble reads : 'They shared my interests.' And the Crescent wolf sits opposite the 3 other wolves staring at the moths fluttering between them. Two look interested but one looks nervous.
Panel 8: Text Bubble reads: 'And gave me space when I needed it.' The crescent-backed wolf sleeps curled up on a hill while the other 3 wolves including the tired wolf rolling in the grass play together in the background.

OK Chapter 2 was hard. I decided to put on Assist Mode for the latter half of that level. I hope people don’t mind I share my progress with Celeste here. It is an interesting game.

I noticed that some of my favourite games always involve climbing a mountain. Journey and A Short Hike are some of my favourites so lets see if Celeste joins that crowd. I made it to the end of Chapter 1 anyway with just under 200 deaths.

I’ve been a bit quiet lately due to giving myself art challenges and making comics. But I’m also doing some edits on the comic I plan to put on my Ko-Fi. Here’s some samples to give new followers an idea of the type of comic this is.

My next poetry zine, The Cities will be up on Ko-Fi (as a PDF and E-book) on Wednesday. More than one poem features a fox so I thought to place it on the cover.

After a lot of hesitation, my solarpunk poetry zine is available on Ko-Fi now. It's only 10 pages long and is up for Free or Pay What You Want. ko-fi.com/s/bfa42c835e

This thread is for my remake of a short comic I did for Mermay. Just a simple story with the use of paper dolls and other mixed media resources.

Last Winter writing prompt of the month. I plan on going on a break from posting these prompts until next year. I need time to adjust to some new hobbies I hope to do for 2025. Until then take care and Happy Holidays.
