essential reading if you saw that NYT article about Heated Rivalry AI fanfic a few weeks ago - or if you're interested in the current state of independent journalism.

[Projekt: Funball] it’s a massive shame there wasn’t time for Essek to cry it out at the end, my guy had a horrible time. In my heart he gets his assigned breakdown as soon as they get time to sit down. #criticalrolefanart #shadowgast #criticalrolespoilers

root bound A Witch Hat Atelier one-shot by yours truly and @zmeess.bsky.social 🪴an exploration of trauma, healing and acceptance 💫very, very soft smut 🚨very, very big spoilers for the manga archiveofourown.org/works/89664221

A digitally painted banner for a piece of Witch Hat Atelier fanfiction, depicting Qifrey sitting in an armchair and holding a square blue pot in his lap, cradling it with his pale hands. There is a miniature prism lemon tree planted inside, with green leaves and seven differently colored lemons growing on it. The composition is cropped so as to show only Qifrey's thighs, chest, and arms. He is wearing a comfortable outfit consisting of his usual long-sleeved black turtleneck and a white tunic with wide, shorter sleeves over it, a tasseled belt arranged over his lap. The scene is lit with warm dappled sunlight, as if filtering through a canopy of a larger, off-screen tree, and fades to a solidly warm beige colored background to the right of it, where the title of the fanfiction is written in looping script: "root bound".

Essek! An oldie but I still like the vibe (and Matt liked it back on Twitter so it has a special place in my heart 🥲) #CriticalRole

i have started watching/reading witch hat atelier after being repeatedly told that it's real damn good, as well as a few people in my life swearing up and down that 'zmeess you will love it so so much', and you know what, they were not wrong. good stuff! #WitchHatAtelier

what do you mean the manga i'm reading features a greasy sleep-deprived little guy with a Shrek-ass 'get out of my bog' attitude and a savior complex. AND he's a fashionista? stop it #WitchHatAtelier

a black and white digital sketch of Oruggio from Witch Hat Atelier. he is depicted as a thin young man with disheveled short straight black hair, overgrown bangs and an untrimmed goatee. he is dressed in a billowing shirt with large sleeves that are caught at the elbow with cords, and a roomy long dark skirt; he is barefoot. there are contracture burn scars visible on the back of his hands and on his forearms. he is sitting down on a chair that is only sketched out with a couple of lines; his posture is relaxed and casual, with a slight slouch. one of his legs is bent with the foot resting on the seat, while the other foot is resting on the floor. his left elbow is propped against the raised knee, and he is holding a notebook in his left hand; his right hand is holding a pen and appears to be drawing a glyph circle. he is looking up at something out of frame with an unimpressed frown on his face.

since we already have plenty of baby Oru and Qifrey and adult Oru and Qifrey, i wanted to sketch the lads as older teens. was a fun exercise in studying and depicting body language #WitchHatAtelier

a black and white digital drawing of Qifrey and Oruggio from Witch Hat Atelier. they are depicted as older teens, with lanky builds and younger faces. Qifrey has short fluffy white hair curling around his face; his right eye is missing, with the eyelids having healed shut. he is wearing a comfortable outfit of a black long-sleeved turtleneck and a long embroidered roomy tunic with wide sleeves over it. it's caught at the waist with a wide woven tasseled sash. Oru has short straight black hair that's a bit disheveled and unkempt, and similarly to Qifrey he is dressed in a shirt with a long tunic over it, albeit his has shorter sleeves and a thinner leather belt. he has trousers and thick knitted socks on, and his hands and forearms are wrapped in bandages.
both of the characters are sitting on the floor with books in their laps: Qifrey with his legs tucked neatly under him and to the side, Oru cross-legged. Qifrey is leaning over to look closely at Oru's book, seemingly copying some notes, while Oru is gesturing animatedly with his pen, talking to Qifrey. behind them, cozy embroidered cushions are lying on a circular rug, with Oru's pointed hat just visible next to him.

there's still a dearth of teen orufrey in my life so i'm taking a page out of WHA's book by cooking my own food #WitchHatAtelier

sketchy black and white digital fan art of Qifrey and Oruggio from Witch Hat Atelier, styled as a two-panel comic. the characters are depicted as older teens. Qifrey has short light hair curling around his narrow face; his right eye is missing and has healed shut. there are acne scars speckled low on his cheeks. Oru has short straight dark hair falling messily over his forehead, dark eyes and ruddy cheeks.
they appear to be lying in bed facing each other, each panel depicting the character from the other's point of view. they are resting their heads on separate pillows. Qifrey is almost hiding his face, turning it slightly into the pillow and tucking his chin closer to his chest, while Oru's face is held open and facing his friend. they are both looking at each other with smiles, their eyes narrowed in mirth. Oru's smile is closed but wide, and Qifrey's is a bit lopsided, the left corner of his mouth dimpling his cheek. in front of their chests, the back of the other character's hand is visible as they touch fingertips to ink-stained fingertips in a tender gesture.

Feeling sentimental over how much seeing Caleb and his struggles meant to me at the time as someone with ptsd and childhood trauma but also the amount of impact drawing him has had on both my art career and on meeting so many of my most precious friends nowadays thanks to CR original from 2018:

digital sketch of the same character in the same poses as above but the background is light and the drawings are more messy and with leas technical skill. the linework is thicker and the face doesnt stay consistent.

The Lovers (Happy Valentine's Day!) #heatedrivalry

Digital painting of Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander from Heated Rivalry, expanding the frame seen when they wake up together after their love confession, where Shane is cradling Ilya's face and sunlight falls across them both. Their eyes are both serenely closed. Around them are several swaths of vibrant simply-painted flowers in the style of Gustav Klimt, emphasizing the deep joy of the moment.

so if you've followed me on tumblr, you might have seen that I don't take commissions. well,

A short comic in which I view my pinned tumblr post, which says "I don't take commissions, sorry!" and paint over that phrase with paint in the colors of the trans flag. The final panel announces with excitement that my art commissions are opening soon, and that I am saving up for top surgery.

Last year I had the awesome honor of designing these looks for the Mighty Nein attending Fjord and Jester’s wedding! It was such a blast getting to draw these characters that I’ve loved for years now — and getting to play with so many shades of pink!! 🌸💕

A video on the hate campaign against Ms. Rachel for being pro-Palestinian children, but really a video about right-wing attacks on children's early education, but really a video about the importance of emotional literacy. Fantastic watch
