Hi. I make art sometimes.

I saw this and said. “this should go on tumblr.” so now its on tumblr.
I WATCHED IT IT'S SO RIGHT
I read the book w/ Bumble in it (I legitimately don't remember its name sob) about 4 years ago, and the way everyone treated her made me stop reading DotC because it made me so angry. I still haven't gone back to finish it and I don't know if I will tbh
The part that pissed me off the most was how Gray Wing was such a little bitch the whole time. At least at the time -- so in 2020 -- people were still mostly very fond of him. I got into several arguments about it and people didn't take me seriously, although that may have been because the people I talked with were around my age and may not have had a fully developed understanding of the issues Bumble's whole thing exemplifies. I also didn't have adequate vocab to express what was wrong with what i had read, which didn't help.
Also, the point Moonkitti makes about Bumble and weight is really interesting. It's so annoying how generally fatphobic kids' media is (thinking about Harry Potter rn).
Very good video overall

ARTIST ASK GAME with 4, 14 annnd/or 29???
Whoopee!
4. Piece you wish got more love?
Hmm... I don't often let myself get sad about my art not doing as well as I hoped, but I do sort of wish the raffle prizes I posted earlier this year had gotten some more likes. Although the main reason they didn't was that I didn't have many followers (I still don't but my art gets more likes now so yeah).
14. What's your favourite thing about drawing?
This question is a tad vague, so I'm just answering on vibes if that makes sense. I think my favourite thing about drawing is really just the joy of creation. Like, it's fun to make stuff and to have it in my files and online and think "yo, I made that". Plus, I usually enjoy the process a lot (although I like certain parts more than others).
29. Do you use a lot of references while drawing?
It really depends on what I'm drawing! If I'm really familiar with it, I can bust it out with no reference. But if it's a new species, or a weird angle, or something else that I don't do much, I'll usually try to pull up some references, because otherwise, it doesn't really meet my standards.

Been designing a posable bird wing made completely out of interlocking paper, no glue or tape! My goal is to make a bird lantern similar to my koi lantern :D
The only problem now is that my laser cutter broke due to some software update by Full Spectrum Laser and they are refusing to fix it 😭When I contacted their support, they just told me to buy a new one. As if I would ever buy another laser from such a shitty company.
Anyone has a recommendation for a better laser cutter from a reputable company?
Hey, hi! Im really sorry for sending this, i just hope im not overstepping any boundaries as I’m about to ask help which is very important right now :( our cat, Sleepy needs an urgent vet care. She is pain and I can't afford to pay the vet to help her so I'm reaching out to ask for help, I mean even if you can’t help monetarily, reblogging or sharing it would truly mean a lot. She is my daughter’s best friend and she’s all I have left of my mom who passed away last 2021. In case you’d be insterested to help, I have pinned the post on my blog, please try to also answer the ask privately as some people tend to get weird on this stuff. Please send us prayers, be safe. ♥️🙏
I cannot support monetarily but this is worth spreading around anyway! Any followers who may be reading, consider donating to help.

Of a night at the drive-in with an AR-15 :)
I made this little baby during AF, and I'm super proud of it, so yeah! At the time, I was trying to experiment with my art style (I still am, technically, but anyway). I still have yet to decide which parts to permanently incorporate into my art style, but I have some ideas.

Very surprised at how much Tumblr is liking my art dump. Thanks guys :D /gen
Maybe I really will be active here... eventually...
Hey, the good news is that I still have a big fat queue of stuff I've already put on my DA but haven't posted here so yippee! Happy first day of spring by the way
Oh god, it's art dump time (ft. all of my 2024 AF attacks)
Putting the good ones above the cut LOL
This grid setup is very awkward.
I wasn't as productive as I wanted to be this year, but I'm still happy with all of my attacks. Sorry for never posting here. I always forget that I have Tumblr. Maybe one day I'll get good at posting.
:DDDDD
Headshot Commission!
This character is designed and owned by @aposterous ! It was a pleasure to draw their OC ^^
4 more slots for this style of headshots open! As well as 5 of my other style (SandWing banner) and 1 fullbody slot for each style! Let me know if you're interested ^^
Hi! I wanna share something special!
I have an OC named Manitari whom I adore. She’s a mushroom cat I made with @aposterous ! She’s been getting a lot of attention on Art Fight and the entires are absolutely BEAUTIFUL, so I want to show you them!
Firstly, this is Manitari:
She’s a giant autistic fluffer who lives in a cottage in the woods and her special interest is mushrooms! This ranges from cooking to gardening to… um… getting high…
But now! Onto her attacks!
Aposterous!
NexeyWexey!
@hannyatiger!
@nyanbacon!
And finally - he’s not on art fight this year, but
Foxfire!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR DRAWING MY LIL SHROOMCAT!!!! :D
Time for my,,, monthly post
I'm doing art fight this year!! I'm on team Seafoam (obviously) and this year I'm going to try and be really productive! Consider following or attacking me. I've got mutuals on high priority this year!
:D
This is SO COOL!!!!
Above image is a pride flag with every color band represented by a NASA image. White is Earth clouds, pink is aurora, blue is the Sun in a specific wavelength, brown is Jupiter clouds, black is the Hubble deep field, red is the top of sprites, orange is a Mars crater, yellow is the surface of Io, green is a lake with algae, blue is Neptune, and purple is the Crab Nebula in a specific wavelength.
these dragons are QUEER!!!
It seems that I never posted this before! I have decided to rectify this mistake because I'm super proud of this piece.
The character here is my sona, Cosi!
I'll hopefully be making more drawings similar to this one in the future! Who knows, maybe it'll become part of my art style.
Reblogs are appreciated!!

Art trade with @hannyatiger !
This one took me 6 hours and 22 minutes, the second longest time of all the art trades I've done this year. I don't really know why it took that long. I guess I was just really slow at it.
It was an interesting challenge because I rarely work with really brightly coloured characters, so I had a bit of an experience trying to find a way to make it look a little less intense on the eyes.
Sadness repellent
