Rewrites be damned; SILENT HILL HOMECOMING IS ABOUT BEING TRANS, god dammit!! Alex's parents treat him as the queer kid they disowned, his only friend is a woman, one of his monsters is a split-open penis and the other is a struggling woman strapped to the backside of a hulking brutish man!! #horror

My egg was cracked by that gender swapping potion in Fable 2, and outright shattered by Life is Strange. I just wanted to be a freakishly tall girl playing a guitar and getting praised by filthy peasants for doing a merry jig.

I just want to write a novel that makes people as depressed as Our Wives Under The Sea, as itchy as Perdido Street Station, as existentially upset as House of Leaves, as loopy as a Discworld story, and as horny as one very specific chapter of The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms. ...Easy, right?

Ever look at an old photo of yourself and think, "dang, I am NEVER going to take a better photo of myself"...? And not even because of aging. Just for logistical reasons.

Okay, I've accepted I don't have the chops to draw good cover art myself, but I DID make some great reference art for the professional illustrators I'm gonna hire. 😘

I've been writing creative fiction since I was a kid, and most of the stuff I wrote before my egg cracking may as well be titled "THE AUTHOR WHO DIDN'T REALIZE SHE WAS TRANS"

Hi, #PortfolioDay! I'm Amaranth Morn, a fantasy illustrator who likes fairy tales and horror. Currently open to commissions and character illustration work. Work: amaranthmorn.neocities.org/portfolio Contact: amaranthmorn@gmail.com Commissions: vgen.co/amaranthmorn #FantasyArt #OCsky #ArtSky

A digital illustration styled like a book cover with the title "Spirit-Sight." A young, wide-eyed teen holds a lantern glowing with unnatural light. The smoke from the lantern takes the shape of various strange creature parts.

A digital illustration of my Snow Queen fairy tale retelling characters. An icy woman with mist surrounding her looks into a cracked, glowing snow globe. Within, two best friends engage in a snowball fight.

A digital illustration of a girl with a haunted expression kneeling beneath a gnarled juniper tree. She holds a feather that glows like fire. In the earth beneath her is a skeleton with fire in its eye sockets. In the tree sits a flame-colored bird. In the distance, smoke from a small house's chimney rises into the stormy sky.

Six digital illustrations of the characters for my House at Hollowmaw project. They depict the characters in full-body poses, each surrounded by glowing magical imagery that relates to them as characters.

Overthinking my cover art for self-publishing. Most novel covers seem very minimalist these days, but I want mine to be so extra. Main characters, settings, distinct color schemes, and an art style that doesn't scream "traced over a heroforge character." #writing #booksky #artsky

I've spent a couple months learning the bare basics of character art on Krita. So go easy on me. I only just got the hang of shading. Gotta learn highlighting next. Happy #PortfolioDay! 💜

Writing Tip: You're going to make a mistake. A big one. That's okay! Everyone does. But you won't notice it because it's in your writer's blind spot. We all have one of those too, even if not everyone admits it. This is why editors that aren't you are so important. #writing #writingtips #Booksky

And now for the hard part: Do I self-publish my novel asap and just see how it does? Or do I spend 3-6 months waiting to hear back from publishers...? Cus, dang, I've already mocked up all its illustrations myself. 🤷‍♀️ #writingcommunity #writing #writers

This is a series of romance stories if you can believe. Bad relationships getting replaced with good ones. Thus the title, "Rebounds in Ricochet."

Rosie Dear @rosiedear.bsky.social · 06/04/2026

Artwork for my novella anthology, set in the electric city of Ricochet. Class warfare, mad nobles, crazed cops, rigged elections, space aliens, machine cultists, and a non-euclydian subway system. #artsky #booksky

My attempts at illustrating my own books have a "just graduated from futzing around on Microsoft Paint" quality. I hope the "barely knows what she's doing" quality of my drawings will help advertise the humanity behind my "kind of knows what she's doing" writing. #writingcommunity #artsky #booksky

Character art of The Count, villain of my first novel. Affable, eager to teach, eager to learn, and ready to slaughter millions for just a bit more power. Owns a lot of dangerous magical books; doesn't know how to use them until the heroine accidentally teaches him how. #artsky #booksky #krita

Character art of an older man with gray fox vibes, a wealthy well dressed count in a library, smirking, shaded, villain coded.

I illustrated two characters from my novel today, in hopes of self-publishing. I'm counting that as a form of trans visibility. 🩵🤍🩷

Character art of Polly, high-strung pixie, de facto shoulder angel for my novel's heroine (for lack of better options). Rationalizes every decision made as the morally correct one, no matter how ridiculous. Probably causes more damage than the shoulder demon overall. #characterart #artsky #booksky

A golden glowing pixie with starry eyes and twigs in her hair bun.

My character art for Severe, a manifestation of chaos and the heroine's de facto shoulder demon. Fluffy, scaley, boney, pointy, exhausting, pyromanic, probably vomits up spiders or something. Drawn with Krita. #characterart #booksky

Character art of a horrible, gremlin-like, imp-like, monkey-like, bloody stool-like monster. Razor sharp grin. Clutching a bottle of something labelled Cobra Tonic.

a digital illustration in the style of a relief print depicting a black cat in a defensive pose holding a torn and tattered transgender pride flag in its mouth as it looks directly towards the viewer. the background is purple with some specks of blue and pink showing through, and behind the cat is a black midground resembling grass or flames. the top right corner features a box with a caption reading "T.D.O.V."

So I've written a novel about a shorter-than-average woman moving from the city to the countryside. And a novel about a significantly-taller-than-average woman moving from the countryside to the city. I guess I have to write about an average-height woman just staying in the suburbs next.

As a broke author aspiring to self-publish, with no means to pay a proper illustrator, I've started learning how to draw digital character art (because I'd sooner eat my left arm than resort to AI-generated anything). #booksky #characterart #writingcommunity #krita

Romecca the Great, self-anointed borough empress. Affable villainess in the city of Ricochet. A strange aspiration for my future self, as I wonder what kind of woman I would want to age into (and who wouldn't want to be absolutely bonkers and dangerously popular in their golden years?) #characterart

Artwork of an older, grandmotherly woman in purple and red robes, with a wide-brimmed feathered hat, and a vibe of crazed authority.

"Awfully Tall For a Woman," featuring Juhnelle, a 15 foot tall immigrant to the city of Ricochet, trying to not be defined by her height which may as well be a disability (or just the familiar sense of being the tallest woman for miles and sticking out like a sore thumb because of it) #characterart

Artwork of a somber woman crossing her arms, looking uncomfortable, revealed to be fifteen feet tall by the max height warning bar behind her.

"Learn how to draw with Krita," they said. "It will be FUN," they said. ...Well, they were right. Character art for the heroine of the YA novel series I'm 3 out of 5 books done with. Quinn, self-taught witch, small town catastrophe, a work in progress (like this artwork). #characterart #booksky

Young woman in the woods, curious and nervous green eyes, purple spell book in one hand, prismatic lantern in the other.
