….. …this mask is not canon Heinrich attire (he would not could not) but a rebellious part of me wants it to be. #art #wip #oc #ocart #Heinrich #AlphaBase

All right, back to work I go. We cross fingers that this short week is also a chill week.

If you see this post a flower! 🌹 Ok! This is "The Calla Queen" who is coming to my solo show at Valkarie Gallery in June!

🌸 Ravens in bloom

by the time you become a main character in a book, you should have one or all of: - dead parents - your hometown burned to the ground - an ancient prophecy you never asked for - your author's baggage and trauma

Who else reads multiple books at one time when they have a full mental battery? I was feeling good today and now I have three on the go simultaneously. >> All different formats! I want to maintain the momentum if I can. Mostly because I just want my brain to keep feeling less anxiety and more joy.

Got a converter and some fancy shiny ink for the fountain pen that I got for my birthday years ago. I’m using it to write my story’s outline onto index cards so I can visualize it and rearrange it in a tactile way. It’s a kind of storyboard.

Speaking of the wedding, I have a buddy who suggested that I conquer my jitters by putting my beloved deep-space assassin/librarian, Heinrich, into the frilliest wedding dress I could think of. It worked a little too well. Ah — I love this. ._.;; #art #oc #ocart #AlphaBase #Heinrich

Last day of my long weekend. It was busier than I thought it would be, but I don't regret that it was only like 25% chill time. I got a lot off of my plate that had been causing me long term stress and that's a relief - it means I can spend more time being more relaxed overall going forward.

It’s got me turning ideas over in my head about one of my characters who was always kind of sacrificial. Watching a story that centered so heavily on meaningful vs. meaningless death has me stewing. I want to make sure that this one’s got a point to it like it’s supposed to. Otherwise… well.

Moviiiieeeeee

Date night! Feels like a fitting place for dinner. I’ve been utterly tormented by Le Poisson Steve as an earworm all week and that’s entirely Tim’s fault. 🐡

FIFTH TIME IS A CHARM MAYBE??

Someone poke me to post more art. I’ve been drawing (I have!), but I’m not posting (again). I suppose its good that I’m clearly enjoying the creation process more than the happy chemical high from likes. That’s probably healthy. But I’m sure you guys would like to see what I’m doing over here.

Revisiting an OC from my teenage years/early 20’s - he’s the critter that sparked me to start writing Prophecy of the Circle back in the day. I haven’t drawn Ezra in probably a decade. ._. He used to be my fave. #art #furry #furryart #oc #ocart #ProphecyOfTheCircle #Ezra

I’m off for an extra long weekend starting basically now and I am giving in to every whim as long as it’s not expensive. I bought INDEX CARDS and POST IT FLAGS so I can play with my story outline as a physical object this weekend. Shhhhhhhhh. This is fun to me!

In all timelines— #Arcane #JayVik

I haven't drawn them kissing much so time to fix this. #Arcane #jayvik

Danggit. My .03 pencil up and jammed in the worst way when I was so -close- to finishing up art in my NSFW sketchbook. Had to switch to .05 and the elegance is gone. :/ Rude!

A little illustration + writing snippet from the story that I’ve very, very slowly been drafting up. #art #writing #oc #ocart #originalfiction #roughdraft | #Nathan #AlphaBase

Fun fact didn’t use a single adobe product to make this. Procreate all the way babyyyyy

Hey, cartoonist! When’s the last time you did something nice for yourself? Take a deep breath, relax, and give yourself permission to rest. You earned it. 🌙💙

Just getting started here so let's see....hmmm...Bone Babes I have painted thus-far. Yes, I'll start there. Artists I am having a hard time finding you here so say what's up! I need to fill my feed with awesome so that I don't get diagnosed with "You are boring; here read about Putin."

Hello #portfolioday Doing things and making pictures. ✨

A Swallowed Silence. A study, but make it Moss~ [ #croquisdennui / #oc / #ocsky / #triton / #dnd / #erimoss ]

Okay maybe I’m getting depressed too often lately.
