"He can't help but feel it, can't help but get hurt, can't help but feel this wonderful thing that consumes him. He can't help but fall in love with you."

ALT description:
A drawing of Piko Utatane (Vocaloid 2) for Pikollab's February 14th Collab.

The drawing shows Piko hunched over, barely holding flowers that keep sprouting from his mouth, the petals fly through space; he looks at the camera/viewer with resigned surprise. The background is shaded in black and white with the kanji for Hanahaki behind him. Illuminating his embarrassed face is a juxtaposed star with brighter, more cheerful colors. Despite his suffering, Piko can't help but find love wonderful.

This time I tried to construct more of a scene ahead of time. I’m still trying to get there with backgrounds. This one of the SFW part of my cycle, is of Frelly and Qian together as one of the many couples I might draw.

***********************

Frelly and Qian stood together in the docks of the Floating Archipelago, a city scattered among sky islands in a relatively calm border region in the Plane of Air. The city connected to a few other worlds across the planes, where the Tiefling couple were among some of the visitors that walked its streets. Perhaps what was most appealing about the Floating Archipelago was that it had a warm and mild climate, unlike the storms and constant hurricanes found in many other places across the Plane of Air.

“We’re catching this ferry to the Janni Island,” Frelly said as she held on to Qian’s arm as the a ramp unfolded down onto the ferry that just docked.

“What are we doing with a bunch of Air Genasi?” Qian asked hesitantly, as he stepped on to the ramp.

“To see the Wind Dancers in action, and to find ourselves a good airship captain for the other part of the journey.”

“That might be a bit difficult, as I got myself in some trouble the last time I was here with Kess and Thames.” Qian pondered for a moment about what the implications might be. “Let’s say we didn’t leave the best impression with the Cloud Kings, the gang that rules that part of town.”

“Were you being a little fecker about it?”

“Just a bit, I’m pretty sure they won’t try to shoot us on sight at least.”

“And to think this was going to be a boring trip, but I don’t think it was only you.”

“You're right about that, it wasn’t completely about me. It was more about these two girls, twins, that I shagged, who happened to be the daughters of a big Cloud King boss. And I somehow got into a fight with a bunch of Cloud Kings when they walked in on us.” Qian looked at Frelly, as she spread her wings and glared at him, looking like she was ready to pounce.

“Oh for ****’s sake! Am I going to have to give you spanking later on?”

“Maybe, I just hope there aren’t any other surprises. Kess and Thames also got in some fights with the Cloud Kings too.”

“This might be a long ferry ride, me love,” as Frelly took a seat on the main deck of the ferry.

“Enough of that, we’re still on vacation, let’s enjoy the view.”

Frelly kissed Qian on the lips, “Whatever would I do without you? You need to show me what you did with those girls, as I think there’s still a spanking you still need to get.”

made these w my left hand

[ID: First image: A page of traditional drawings made with the artist's non-dominant hand. The lines are all squiggly, but confident nonetheless. Two of these doodles portray a person without a face, and in one of them they are pulling on a string hung from the ceiling with force. There's also another drawing, but this time it's of a big bell.

Second image: A traditional sketch made with the artist's non-dominant hand. There are two drawings, one of a person with their face covered looking over their shoulder, and another of an arm holding a thin pen. The person's bony back is visible, and their right arm is obscured by their torso.

Third image: A traditional sketch in red ink, which was made with the artist's non-dominant hand. There are three squiggly drawings of a faceless person, their face hidden behind a geometrical shape. The drawings depict them down on the floor, avoiding eye contact, and throwing their hands in the air to make unknown signs respectively.

Final image: A traditional sketch in red ink made with the artist's non-dominant hand. It depicts a person without a face doing a peace sign close to the viewer. There's text behind them that reads: Share your beautiful unemployed soul to the world and let it change the color of the seas. End ID]

with my screaming in your itching ears

ID: an anthro red and white belgian shepherd/siberian husky, sasha, lying on the floor in a room filled with various media. there is a spiral notebook opened to a page with the word "hello" written repeatedly, a pencil with a business card underneath it, and a paper where the only readable words are "danger to self" and "danger to others", checked off. one of the books is open by sasha's face.

sasha is longhaired with a snow nose, atrophied muscles, lopsided eyebrow dots, orange eyes, freckles, and one eye closed. they are wearing a white hospital gown, green scrub pants, and 3 hospital bracelets, 2 psychiatric on one wrist and 1 medical on the other. they have red, orange, and yellow bandaids in places where you would put an IV.

the room is dark, the floor deep purple red, and all screens are lit hot pink. the laptop screen is open to google and in the search bar are the words "hello? are you ali". the computer with the tower is open to a livejournal page. on the old TV is a simple drawing of sasha holding an ax. they look distressed. half of their face is shadowed, and they have multiple eyes. on the lit side, the eyes are of "good" alters, and on the dark side, "bad" ones. all of the red wires on the floor lead behind the TV, where there is a big, tangled cluster of red and orange wires. end

One of my fave ocs (I say that with all of them) Kori, a rephibian from an alternate earth, where they fight an oncoming invasion from beyond, but is it worth fighting for an already flooding earth? Or would it be best to just give in and corrupt into a writhing monster too?

I fucking LOVED the Scott Pilgrim anime! It came out amazing!

-Vague Spoilers and hyperfixation Below-





The Scott Pilgrim animated show was **Amazing**
It was everything I hoped it'd be! I love the graphic novels and this felt like a real love letter to the originals by Bryan O'Malley. The style was adorable, like it pulled a lot from the original concepts and art from the graphic novels~ This felt like perfect step up from the Live Action, leaving out a lot of the early 2000's influences to humor, which is a good thing, and bringing in the eclectic humor of the graphic novels with the rapid fire, quick-witted banter I always adored.

The animation was fantastic, creative and free flowing. The fight scenes especialy ruled. I can't imagine the choreography that went into animating such expressive, creative fights, like the Roxy Richter fight, which is by far my favourite fight of the series.
It established a comforting sense of routine between each day with Ramona changing her hair, and the pacing of information and action was perfect~ It never got too overwhelming, so I managed to binge it in a single sitting. I was really impressed with Scott Pilgrim takes off. It managed to bring new life and creativity to the franchise. I'm really happy that a new generation will get to see Scott Pilgrim, this time featuring more of the iconic MATTHEW PATEL!!!

Felt like painting dinosaurs, bees and sunflowers so I did

Not sure if I'd posted my Chickadee before. It's been a while, I've had a lot of stuff going on in my personal life that has kept me from making art and posting, but I'm working on getting back at it.

INPRNT is having a sale again, and I've got some of my Floral and Mushroom dragons available. If you like my artwork, please consider taking a look, it means a lot.

I'm also available for commissions. Feel free to contact me if interested.

im finally back in business after 6 days of rest with attack number 15 which is a friendly fire on @/MaudFS on art fight! The attack features their rainbow shapeshifter character Motley and my mascot wienerdragon!

Motley's description said he might change his form to be similar to someone else's to befriend them and I was like hell yeah, doxie playtime!!

This was so much fun to do! I actually finished this at 2 am this morning but decided against posting it straight away because i needed to go to hecking bed. But yeah I went fricking hogwild, at first it was difficult but then i redid the sketch and the vibes aligned and it just flowed from there :)

I hope you guys like it!

I did another round of things found in the forest. I really enjoy drawing mushrooms and florals lmao. I'll more than likely do more, but I know that we're turning a lot of what I design into stickers. I'll be putting these bad boys in my renfaire book for my little druid/alchemist

"Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay."

Nothing Gold Can Stay

Today's sketch, a Tiger & Bunny fanart. I felt like doing a pen-and-ink kind of thing with (ofc) dramatic lighting, so here's this. The angle was entertaining to do.

[ID: A black and white digital drawing of Yuri Petrov from Tiger and Bunny depicted from a high angle. His right hand is lifted and lit on fire, casting dramatic shadows over Yuri and the floor. /ID]
