someday i'll get more piercings, and tats (which currently number at zero), and more cat eye makeup (which i don't know how to do Yet), but: i am becoming the alt-girl i always wanted to be, and it fucking ROCKS.

channeled my inner god-hating teenage self with this design. she will get the Actual Character treatment.

Two sketchbook illustrations of an androgynous goat woman named Hellena, one from the front and one from the side. One of the strokes of the N in her name has an inverted cross. She is described in quotes as a "Satanic sweetheart."

She has white fur, a red mullet undercut, three amber eyes with crosses for pupils, and makeup that resembles black metal corpse paint. An inverted cross is drawn from the bottom corner of the third eye. She has a septum ring, black lipstick, snake bite piercings, and a small black goatee. Her ears are large, drooping, and have six rings each. She is wearing an inverted pentagram choker around her neck and a torn t-shirt under her leather jacket.

Behind her is a black halo with an inverted pentagram, the outline of which is flaming. There are five skulls floating above her along the rim, each bearing one of the five Hebrew letters of Leviathan.

learned that you can set up some room ambience mics and you don't need to add *Any* brightness to the kick or snare if you just add it to the room ambience. holy fuck. i have found my holy grail of drum recording techniques. now i can finally commit to recording shit, lmao

fit from last night's t-nite. felt fucking *incredible* to break out the skirt, tbh!

i'm supposed to be rehearsing for a concert, but uhhhhhhh, i got stuck on Selina Draw. the expression alone took two hours, because i was like "okay, i'm not channeling the exact emotion i want out of her face" also been a while since i've drawn her with head crests + her upper lip and nose merged!

screenshot of a sketch in Krita, showing Selina mostly transformed into a more monstrous-looking mermaid. she is very clearly in a state of sensual bliss; her eyes are closed and her lips are parted to show her teeth and tusks. her crests are showing through her hair, and she has visible gills along the sides of her neck. her petite breasts have star-shaped nipples. there are bits and pieces of shrimp that have been spat up and become entangled in her hair.

saw this diagram in a vision i had last night? keeping it in mind.

an equilateral triangle composed of two-directional arrows pointing to dots at the corners.

one of the lines has "spiritual" at one and and "carnal" at the other. another is marked similarly with "supernatural" and "hyper-real", with "spiritual" and "supernatural" pointing to the same corner. the last side is marked "organic" and "artificial", with organic pointing to the same corner as "carnal", and "artificial" to the same as "hyper-real"

digital cartoon of a nude woman in her bed, sitting up and embracing her stuffed blåhaj ("blow high") shark in a sensual and contented pin-up pose. there is a phantom shark tail, gills, and dorsal fin emanating from the woman, barely visible. she has a band-aid on her thigh.

spending an inordinate amount of time drawing Selina Tran, The Only Woman Ever, when i should be studying for my exam this Friday... which i will do now. lmao

somewhat stylized sketch of a Vietnamese woman with a broad nose, thick lips, freckles, a birth mark on her upper right cheek, thick eyebrows, and straight bangs with dyed blonde bangs and sidelocks. the eyes are the most stylized, appearing larger and more geometric than realistic, with black oval pupils with notches of white taken from them, representing light reflecting in her eyes.

her expression is neutral, but there are three different pairs of her eyes to her right: one without any light reflections in the pupils, one with dilated pupils that appear large, perfectly round, and with multiple reflections, and one with beady pupils.

thank you! decided to just *nuke* the fucking sideburns, though, and i feel weirdly relieved that i don't have to commit to maintaining them? (my dad and i kinda got into one of our passive-aggressive, Freak-to-Freak, three-line debates about it, and he won, LOL. they did look too much like chops.)

caught a fly in a fruit jar, watched it slorp some rotten fruit up, and then released it, and i was like "what if this happened to a pretty girl" and i drew it. this is more impressionistic than usual because i did it in five minutes. you can, too, if you believe hard enough. thank u

loose sketch of a woman shrinking down and turning into a housefly, with parts of the transformation implied to be an uncanny in-between of fly and human, but the style is overtly cute. she is eating a glob of rotten fruit inside a jar, which is vaguely implied by the lines at the bottom.

her breasts are bare.

wild what ten years of building your self-esteem (and over four years of HRT) can do for you.

cartoon of the artist presenting as a young man at 21. she is wearing a flannel and baggy jeans, with shaggy mid-length hair. she is covering a relatively tame picture of two women wearing flip-flops subtly looking at each other's feet.

she is panicked, saying "Nobody can ever know about my addiction!"

cartoon of the artist at 31, lying back with a come-hither expression and presenting her cork-board of erotic art.

she appears with an undercut, a tied-back tee with the sleeves cut off (with breasts visible under the tee), torn-up jeans, and bare feet. she's laying back in bed at a perspective that doesn't *quite* make sense.

among the artwork is a woman swimming with a dolphin as she turns into one herself, a woman turning into a mermaid, someone's hands bound with rope, a werecat paw, a footjob, an eight-ball gag in someone's mouth, a large transmasc dick, wet panties, and lipstick marks all over someone's bare ass.

caption: "I'm quite the connoisseur of erotic art, darlin'! this here were-dolphin one's an all-timer for me!"

upd8: decided to trim the sideburns. the lengths were kind of uneven throughout them, and they looked kind of stringy/ratty. not a *huge* fan of them looking kinda like mutton chops when i part my hair to the mid-side instead of all the way over, but c'est la vie. forgive the bedhead!

selfie of the subject with an undercut parted entirely to the side, showing off the trimmed sideburn that reaches to the back corner of her jaw.

filled some sketchbook pages over the past couple weeks. some parts have been blurred out for the sake of privacy.

sketchbook depicting various illustrations and cartoons, including:

an unflattering caricature of a coworker who likened the artist to Yungblud. the last bubble says "ya look just like him!", with "him" in large cartoon lettering.

a depiction of a woman turning into an anthro squirrel, with a close-up shot of an acorn being used as a butt plug. her hairy vulva is also shown.

some letters in cartoony bubble lettering.

a study of a cartoon woman drawn by Dan DeCarlo.

a study of Kei from Dirty Pair.

a rotation of a cartoon woman's head from the front, front-right, and right.

a study of a woman's behind, legs, and feet, with illegible cursive next to it.

a diagram of a seven-string guitar with a vintage garage-rock aesthetic.

a study of Bridget Fonda as she appeared in Singles (1992).

a study of an Adidas shoe from the side.

a study of Kurt Cobain as he appeared in the "Kill the Grateful Dead" shoot.

sketches of maggot-like creatures with stingers.

some parts of the sketchbook are blurred out.

FOR REAL!!! like. idk. it makes me sad. it feels like an attempt to appeal to people who want, like, the veneer of looking at a monster girl, while i'm out here like "Selina should have star-shaped nipples as, like, a cute gag in her design."

illustration of a mermaid's anterior (front) side.

her shoulders, back, and the sides of her hips/area below the crotch are blue with dark stripes, while the modest chest and the toned stomach area are of an olive skin complexion. the areolae are large, dark, and shaped like fat sea stars. the genital slit and anus are similarly dark.

bought this seven-string for $80 and, after an hour and a half of trying to adjust the relief and the action, i've discovered that the truss rod just kind of either locks up or spins freely without adjusting any relief/bowing in the neck at all. might have to just buy a new neck altogether. 🫤

like. i was high when i did this, but i had the idea of installing led button switches into the lower right bout of the pickguard (where the tone knobs normally are), and then a smaller one adjacent to each. (if CNCing it doesn't work, i'll just take a normal HSH pickguard and drill some holes.)

really cool how i can just Do Whatever with my outfits. i love being a woman.

outfit is a gray tee shirt for grindcore band Full Of Hell's album Trumpeting Ecstasy, depicting a nun with flames emanating from the empty space where her head should be. this is paired with camouflage pattern cargo pants, combat boots, a leather bracelet with studs, and an estrogen vial. the model is posing in a vaguely offstandish, more stereotypically masculine way. her nails are unpainted and she is wearing no makeup.

outfit is a black graphic tee underneath gray overalls, with floral nylon tights and combat boots. the model's makeup is bold but overtly feminine, as are her nails. they match the black of her clothing and red of the ends of her hair. her pose is also more demure and cutesy. she is wearing several black and white bracelets with chains and spikes, as well as earrings with several Datura flowers hanging from each.

okay sorry for calling you a slur but like your whole personality is that you're a gay man who's a bit of a whore. or a lot of a whore, even. if I had to guess you probably post ass pics on twitter or something. it's a coin flip whether or not you have the worst takes imaginable. you probably have good taste in music though ?

[HEADPHONES RECOMMENDED] finally figured out how to emulate that "3d ping-pong" delay i made in FL Studio on this Zoom multi-FX pedal. it's a stereo ping pong delay, and then two reverse delays - one per stereo channel. had to figure out how to hack the pedal to get it to sound mostly right!

genuinely, i think it's important to find yourself hot in states of being where you would otherwise be dysphoric. i think it's also important to know that sometimes "last known photograph" type lighting is hot.

dim, murky photograph of a white trans woman with incredibly angular features, a cleft chin, pronounced cheekbones, and a noticeable brow ridge. she has visible stubble on her face. she also has very full lips, arched brows, and smoky eyes with long, thick lashes. she is wearing a torn thermal top and dangling Sweetheart candy earrings. her expression is neutral, if not slightly coy.
