UP ALL NIGHT YEAH. It’s not exactly NSFW? (I have discovered the magic of plugging my headphones into my laptop. I can be as loud as I want and worry about neither SO or neighbors. So awesome.) #alittlebitbackwards
Would you like to see some of the things I have been working on for the last, oh…we’ll call it six months. That’s a nice round number. OF COURSE YOU DO.
So, elfquestfanart.com has done a fanart calendar for, er, Elfquest (as you might expect). I’ve participated for…what, five years, total? 2004, 2005, 2008, 2009, 2012. Yeah. Five. Prior to this year, they did standard 12-months-plus-a-cover style calendars. The last four have been printed by CafePress and suchlike. This year, for the crrrazy tenth anniversary, they decided to go ALL OUT and do not one, not two, but THREE weekly planner-type calendars, all featuring pinups, and all published as hardcopy through Lulu. WOO HOO. I have art in all of them. This one is my Moonshade pinup from 2014. I think it’s the third week in August. YAY GO TEAM ME. I DID A THING. I’m even pretty proud of the way it came out.
Medium is Copics and colored pencil and a teeny bit of photoshoppery.
I’M SO SORRY. (except I’m totally not)
Also, HEY I QUIT MY JOB. So I have more time/energy to draw ALL RIGHT. LET’S DO THAT THING.
A fabulous artist of my acquaintance could use a boost. :)
Hi folks. I need your help.
I have gained an unholy amount of weight in one season. Part of it was depression, part of it was sloth, and a part of it was likely my medication. This poses a … dilemma. I’m a Health At Every Size kinda gal, and my physical health is pretty good, though the more weight I gain, the worse my digestive problems get. Still, my blood pressure is a-ok, my cholesterol is snazzy, and the ol’ ticker is functioning just fine.
But the mental health is having some issues. See, a long time ago in a college girl with self-esteem issues, an idea waltzed in and set up camp— that if you could just control your food, you could control your body, and then at least one thing in your life would be handled. So the starving started, right? And stopped pretty quickly because goddamn a good support network is fantastic, but that stupid idea planted itself pretty deep, and now I just can’t pull the roots out. Regular pruning keeps it down to totally manageable levels, but once in a while, something fertilizes it, and the shears have a little bit of a fight on their hands.
My sudden growth in girth has been *great* fertilizer.
The short of it? I have a proposal.
I want to get healthier in mind and body. I want to get back in shape. But I’m already fighting a battle with that out-of-control weed that is my ED, so it’s a little harder to get the gumption required to move my ass out the door. And gym memberships, which keep my motivated, are hella expensive. So are fitness classes, or yoga, or even eating healthier.
What if I was accountable not just to myself, but to you? What if y’all could help a lady out with some of those financial hurdles? And what if you got something awesome out of the deal?

For 5 dollars a week, any week you feel like donating, I’ll make you an original piece of art. Something beautiful, just for you, from the happiest place I can find in myself. You get art, I get help. You get to be a Big Time Philanthropist for very little moolah, and I get a big juicy to carrot to chase. (healthy, see?)
Bah. My website is showing as ‘account suspended’, so you get a preview here. I’ll figure out what’s up in a bit. :P
Haha, it’s been a while. I bet you thought I’d forgotten. But I haven’t. Just being a lazy, busy bubbster. <3
*COUGH COUGH* I MEAN NOTHING.
I’m sorry I’ve been such a derp lately and am showing further derp by posting for the first time in nearly a month with such a limp-wristed effort. I’ll be doing better soon. :)
Doot doot. Early-ish morning update, because I finished it just now.
I admit, I have nothing particular to say about this. I’m not sure if it’s a boy or a girl or a neither, though whatever it is, it’s seen a few too many things to be happy. Or else it’s just youthfully jaded. Saa.
(it kind of reminds me of the little girl from The Crow? Not a lot, but a little.)
Also, my Kix are soggy. Blargh.
I PERSIST IN DRAWING GIRLS WITH NO CLOTHES AND PRODDING PHOTOSHOP TO SEE IF I CAN MAKE IT DO WHAT I WANT.
MUAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH.
….oorrrr something like that. This one is a request. <3
