made this in ms paint because I can’t print right now.
thinking about a deer girl zine.
Have a purple skull.
I have a pile of these prints that I haven’t colored yet.
amanita, muscaria coaster. I like it much, it turned out rather nice.
the white is secretly glow-in-the dark. shushhhh.
Bleached some shirts with Adriane. Turned out alright. I like the Punk is Dad one best.
going to need baedirin for the next Adventure in Fibers.
today, I made a coaster out of craft felt and embroidery thread.
it glows in the dark (note glowing action shot) and it is a gibbous moon. I'd show you the back, but it's boring because I capped everything with another layer of purple. I think I'll make a set of these for myself.
I made a finger puppet.
Why? Because sometimes the muse moves me.
just some doodles today. left page is mostly the kind of nonsense I babble at Elphabla the dog to rile her up, right page is some personal plant symbolism. While blackberry is classically known to be a ward against evil, I spend my time ripping it out of places so I consider it to be more of a menace itself.
Original Character Transformation Wand,
I asked her to come up with a hella Mary Sue OC because what else is the whole point of this godamn fandom I ask you? why else, really, are we here? Sailor Moon is a power fantasy for little girls and that's exactly what it should be.
Sailor Saturn Transformation Wand.
Saturn is my reddit giftee's favorite sailor scout, so I of course smudge this one the worst. looks pretty good though, the gold works better when it's more subtle.
Sailor Moon Locket
also for the reddit exchange. problem with that much gold is it flattens out really badly, had to use some china white to try and redefine the shapes which was not the best solution.
Sailor Jupiter Transformation Wand, this is for my sailor moon themed Reddit exchange partner. traditional media, so it's made of watercolor, ink and shiny gold paint. I don't usually do fan art but I hope she likes it!
notmusa did one of these for herself, so I figured why not hop on this aged bandwagon? hers is, of course, a lot more concise and coherent.
narrative paintings and illustration in western art history.
biology, fishes, gunnels in particuar, my aquarium volunteering
local plants, blackberries, “I was born and raised in the briar patch”
Dianna Wynne Jones, Dark Lord of Derkholm. best fantasy book.
sea otters. the dream I was rescued by otter people, possibly this makes me a shaman now. that’s a shaman thing.
northwest native art, Davidson in particular. look at the use of blocks of black and white, composition and carving.
chiara-bautista.
eastern-tradition watercolor painting. use of negitive space
Spike Trotman
Harry Potter, that whole magical universe
Mt. Rainer, local geology in general.
the OZ books. all of ‘em.
John Singer Sargent, specifically carnation lilly lilly rose.
Carbonel, King of Cats.
The Great Wave off Kanagawa, Hokusai in particular, uke oe prints in general.
egyptology. it’s a lifelong interest.
sacred geometry.
Ursula Vernon, Digger in specific.
Ray Troll
Dennis Mcnett Taught me that it’s alright to make what makes me personally happy. even if nobody in my immediate vicinity gets or likes it. this is the most important thing I learned at art school.
did you know deer like to swim? the world is a weird place. more unbelievable stuff happens every day than any story would ever accommodate.
Gary Larson
I don’t remember who drew this one, I just fuckin’ love it. huntress mythos.
Scott McCloud, Understanding Comics. taught me pacing.
Narnia. by way of Ana Mardoll taught me about worldbuilding
Ways of Seeing by Berger.
Narbonic. first taught me how to wrangle spot-blacks
Betty McDonald.
D’Alulare’s Greek Myths
Miss Monster
I made another thing. it's a felt box for my tarot cards, so the symbol on it is a pretty classic an anti-evil eye ward. These are fun to make!
also my hair looks fab today. art selfies, amirite?
I made a case for my old DSlite. at first I couldn't think of what I wanted as a design that would be cultured and urbane, sophisticated yet speak to a general audience. and then I was like, fuck that, why not an icecream cone?
I think it turned out rather nicely. it's made out of craft felt and embroidery thread. I might make another one later.
DONE. TRIUMPH AND GLORY ARE MINE FOR THIS PROJECT IS DONE
BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD, GLOW IN THE DARK EMBROIDERED SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE.
THIS PROJECT TOOK ME MONTHS, NAY, YEARS, TO COMPLETE. BASK IN THE DELIGHT OF MY PROGRESS PICTURES FOR I HAVE GROWN MY SKILLS MUCH IN THIS TIME.
WHAT ONCE WAS A MISPRINTED SCRAP OF CANVAS NOW IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL OF TAPESTRY, ENCHANTED WITH A SPELL OF PROTECTION AND RENEWAL THIS CLOTH WILL GUIDE THE WEARER IN BRIGHTEST DAY AND DARKEST NIGHT.
ALSO NICO TOTALLY HAS DIBS AND I'M NOT MAKING ANOTHER ONE. SORRY Y'ALL.
Found an old block I hadn't printed yet. so I fixed that oversight. edition of 12. it's meant to be on the diagonal.
Title should be something to the effect of "Socks" or "The Killer You Know
That feel when I use a whole thing of diazo remover and my screen is still crunked up.
