A simple colored drawing on a pale soft green background. Mara, a red-toned demoness stands posed with an arm flex. She is wearing blue jeans and a black sports bra. She has dark brown hair and black horns and a typical devil tail. behind, is a quick doodle of Martin, a redhead with a bun, blushing and dazed.

Closeup! Trivia: some may remember I did a lot of humanized bionicle art/had a cancelled fanfic AU (Chasing Stars) in the works—this design is roughly based from my take of The Shadowed One. It’s always fun to sneak in old character designs I became attached to. :3 #TheMythseeker

Day 12 for Oc-tober! (slowly catching up) Ah, shady rebranded gods of late stage capitalism ~ #TheMythseeker #Art #Fantasy

algorithms can affect engagement. it’s a little weird, but there’s some pschyhology behind it. but ye for this case it’s end of year dip (same can happen when school/etc starts for many) and people are burnt out as hell—can’t speak for everyone, just consensus among my circles. very frustrating, ye

020

Susannah Casey-Livengood🌿 @suedraws.bsky.social · 13/11/2025

+ how feeds/algorithms function (if art isn’t seen, they can’t comment on it) like bsky poorly handling discoverability, bsky.app/profile/astr... Also AI—whether support or sick of it; many are just Done with social media none makes it less crappy, but does make me think it’s more platform+burnout

Susannah Casey-Livengood🌿 @suedraws.bsky.social · 13/11/2025

what I’ve seen, folks don’t have the energy. climate around parts of the world; this seems #1 reason—friends explain why they don’t engage as much. some are more into activism; morale low; working double to afford to live. – plus end-of-year/holiday slowdown (which is more naturally occurring)

Susannah Casey-Livengood🌿 @suedraws.bsky.social · 12/11/2025

There’s a chance you’ve seen before—some have been changed and the Mythseeker logo updated. I figured it would be okay to share them again. Let me know if you feel like they’re too spammy or anything, though. 🫡

Black-and-white doodle from The Mythseeker. Bosemal, an angel with one side of her head shaved, grins mischievously. She is saying in French-Cajun, “C’est tout un sucre ~.” (“it’s all sugar[good]")
In the background, Bishop (comb-over, scars on face, scruff) stands behind a pouty, unimpressed expression, hands in his coat pockets.

absolutely. they have to keep some typo on magic the gathering cards iirc? could be wrong. but made me think, that there are legality issues when it comes to improper branding. (not sure about coca-cola branding policies tho—but in general, sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen for someone)

don’t mean to appear uncaring to mutuals (y’all are so inspiring for me!). too exhausted and burnt socially to perform space to grieve, then the boring work that keep me alive to create.💚 (on the whole, I am much healthier/happier/stable, just to be clear, and to be very thankful for) 10/10

030

Susannah Casey-Livengood🌿 @suedraws.bsky.social · 11/11/2025

not that I’m choosing this; I’m normally really social. It isn’t 100% rigged against me—if you don’t put the work in, then it won’t happen. Doesn’t make the -reason- why I can’t put the work in fair, or assures clear victory against the algorithm, but it’s illogical to expect more.

130

Susannah Casey-Livengood🌿 @suedraws.bsky.social · 11/11/2025

it isn’t even about the engagement. Honestly, I wish I was motivated by fame & funds. I think they can be excellent forms of motivation and self-confidence. + if I can’t engage with others, I don’t have expectations. The art industry is awful right now, so we need to foster more mutual support

120

Susannah Casey-Livengood🌿 @suedraws.bsky.social · 11/11/2025

it’s ME projecting—what I feel like I “should” be drawing; that mindset ruined me for years (getting more asking on not only “attractive” or nsfw, others as well. All are great, and I appreciate the interest. but several long stories that spell out trauma—I’m reserved on doing commissions anymore)

120

Susannah Casey-Livengood🌿 @suedraws.bsky.social · 11/11/2025

need a better grasp on things like taxes, business practices, website building, improving analytics, all that it’s so hard to keep up professionally. tho, silly memes/non-art get do fine; “sexier” pieces too. but as a traumatized ace, it throws me for a loop. I still draw it (Hazel, hi😳), but yeah.

Susannah Casey-Livengood🌿 @suedraws.bsky.social · 11/11/2025

(website’s under wordpress for now, so I’m slowly working on getting more control—my own server and setup) when I reference these, I don’t mean to paywall everything. I want it accessible… just need a more stable platform that is not reliant on algorithms + a one stop (content, merch, tipping/subs)

I’ll shift focus on Patreon, alongside my website. (Ko-Fi also I want to take seriously, too.) Bluesky has honestly been, eh. platform practices—not y’all not happy with Patreon either. been running mine since about 2015 grandfathered into lighter fees. there’s benefits, but the larger issues 👎

120

Susannah Casey-Livengood🌿 @suedraws.bsky.social · 11/11/2025

now $100+ appt at the end of the month I can’t skip. Another group/Dr, at least. I’ve already prolonged this longer than I should’ve allowed not terminal, just morally/bodily degrading. life’s so short—can’t keep losing more or living for others. self-sufficiency to function eats time and energy.

Susannah Casey-Livengood🌿 @suedraws.bsky.social · 11/11/2025

No health insurance, so, it’s a headache (there’s a couple reasons why I can’t get it or disability) The clinic won’t take my Patreon proof of income anymore. Sliding-scale cost $30➡️$125. visit rushed, info missing, just be told a thing I learned few days prior on my own. also they mischarged $180🙃

Susannah Casey-Livengood🌿 @suedraws.bsky.social · 11/11/2025

Health+weather shifts+med adjustments+life is…💀. no appetite for months, weight’s dropping, sleep is very poor, immune system low, chronic pain up, etc sickness caused infections. took a month to be seen by my GP; tho mostly recovered by then. It was humiliating and stressful, tbh life update 1/10

Here’s the process video (been practicing painting/rendering a lot on Procreate since it seems to run easier on my aging iPad; clip studio is a bit more intensive and doesn’t like larger brushes)

030

Susannah Casey-Livengood🌿 @suedraws.bsky.social · 29/10/2025

Exploring and experimenting keep it fresh to avoid burnout. Balancing discipline and inspiration is tough but vital for me when working solo (with tons of support, just to be clear—thank you!). So I’d rather go slower and enjoy the journey than rush. Still, I’m committed to finishing. 🙏💚

020

Susannah Casey-Livengood🌿 @suedraws.bsky.social · 29/10/2025

Half the fun is seeing which frames drift up next. It's chaotic, but ADHD + health can make getting from point A to B tough, and I naturally wander off-trail. The order’s often instinct—rn I’m on a kick with the “cowboy arc”. 😆 (I hope sooner than later I can share that, and many other stories!)

120

Susannah Casey-Livengood🌿 @suedraws.bsky.social · 29/10/2025

Nonlinear fits my story-crafting process. They're scenes flowing through the Outer Current or a Celtic knot slowly weaving—everything connects in time. #TheMythseeker

Greyscale mythframe sketch/visual development. Interior study. A disheveled man (Conall) leans on a fireplace mantel, watching Fio (small barefoot girl in a sleeveless dress) from across the room. A high-back chair sits between them, with shelves and a worktable in the background.

Greyscale mythframe sketch/visual development. A small bathroom. A weary man (Bishop) with shaved hair and a scarred body leans against a bathtub, crouched. Some scars on his face appear to be bleeding. He's side-eyeing another figure outside--a stuffed possum toy with a missing button eye peeks through the doorway, held by someone just out of sight (Fio).

Susannah Casey-Livengood🌿 @suedraws.bsky.social · 29/10/2025

Keep forgetting to share all the greyscale ‘mythframes’ (storyboards) I’ve been hoarding—out of order, rough, and deliciously lacking context. #TheMythseeker

speaking of support—I know I fell behind on Patreon, I apologize! I am trying really hard to get my health caught up so I can better manage social media/etc. Thank you so, so much, patrons, for sticking with me; y'all are actually helping pay for the doc visit next week, and that means the world ;_;

Susannah Casey-Livengood🌿 @suedraws.bsky.social · 29/10/2025

@blackernel.bsky.social made this for me xD This is my sweet boy, Boudreaux! I adopted him and his sibling from @thesickrose.bsky.social this summer. You can also see a hint of the other, sis, Blackberry, in the blankets in the first picture. I have the best friends who support me ;_;

A meme-like image of two panels, images taken from a webcam. It features a strawberry blonde haired female, sitting at a desk with headphones. A black cat is seen in the second panel, reaching to rub the person. The first caption reads "We Sue-ffer"; the bottom reads "But we also Sue-rvive"

for a first attempt? heck yeah dude, would've fooled me. I'll have to try that technique out, thanks!

Susannah Casey-Livengood🌿 @suedraws.bsky.social · 29/10/2025

I'm handling Dr. appts (I think meds need adjustments, for one) and prioritizing my health—stricter self-care and management. The process can be slow because I don't have health insurance, sadly. But all good, I'm pretty adaptable/self-sufficient. Anyway, I'll try to share some art soon. Take care!

Hi, I'm alive! I actually hit #16 in the OC-tober and plan to continue it through Nov. But I've been sick... on top of the usual sick.🫠 So functioning is Hard rn. Thank you so much for hanging around!

OH GOSH I was needing this character for a ref but I don’t play this game/couldn’t remember their name and it was driving me crazy. thanks for posting 😆😆

Susannah Casey-Livengood🌿 @suedraws.bsky.social · 15/10/2025

it occurred to me now, by day 10 of posting for OC-tober, perhaps I should’ve added that tag alongside the usual Mythseeker one 🫩 WELP reminder to self now 🤣

Susannah Casey-Livengood🌿 @suedraws.bsky.social · 14/10/2025

hmm, do y’all prefer when I post a few together, or when each one gets its own spotlight? 🤔

Susannah Casey-Livengood🌿 @suedraws.bsky.social · 14/10/2025

Close up! Her’s was fun to do—and I ended up deciding to stick to a more ‘cell-shaded’ look for hers.
