Hello yes someone buy this for me
I need a new keyboard, this one brings me joy, a scammer stole half my Patreon earnings this month, and I have been a good boy all year
(I can trade for a commission?? Though I rarely get people who actually want to purchase art)
I'm so tired of being poor haha, hahaha
(There is also a whole "dream desk" WL with things I cannot afford because cool stuff costs money listen I'm just tired of using $10 thirdhand equipment that works 'okay' and I'm currently having a Feeling about it)

Patreon Postcard October 2024 I love horror movies. One day I hope to find something that is even one tenth as scary as watching Unsolved Mysteries as a kid. Nothing will ever top Robert Stack making you paranoid that everyone in your apartment building is a wanted murderer.
Y'all might wanna slow down here given that the article everyone is panicking about misquoted the professor it claims to have interviewed and is a bunch of misinformation.
Ppl on the other hellsite losing their minds over this in every imaginable direction lmao
I can't remember the name of this cryptid, the one that's all leg with a funny face; no arms, just leg. XD That one shop lifting. :D
October art prompt: cryptids and petty crimes
Fun fact: Fresno Nightcrawlers are always depicted "walking" because they're trying to get away from Fresno.

Blaze_ignitus’ Zarel showing off the guns to her faun wife. :D
First of the bust and torso quick commissions to pay for my guide dog’s vet bills. More info here:
ID: Flexing one well-muscled arm, a red-orange dragoness grins smugly. In the background a little faun face with hearts for eyes squeals in delight.
I can reveal I’m in this now! Working with @dusana-thewitch has been a delight! I can’t wait to post their wonderful story!

Why did you join the Nimona Big Bang?
The movie was really good and I loved the character designs. I wanted an excuse to draw some of them and I've always wanted to collab in something like this with a fic writer. :)
Share something you like about the Nimona movie or comic.
Love seeing a major character who's older and the themes very accepting someone that the world tells you to hate when you don't understand them.
Favorite characters: Nimona (movie version), Ballister Boldheart (movie version), Queen Valerin
Other fandoms: Dragonriders of Pern, Spyro the Dragon, Metalocalypse
Other hobbies: Writing, gaming, blindness advocacy and awareness, playing DnD, reading
Is there anything else that you'd like to share about yourself?
I'm a literally blind cartoonist and professional artist of over 20 years.
As of today, my guide dog Petey has cost me over $600 in a single month for vet bills. By the end of the month it’s going to be $800, at minimum. To put that in perspective, my entire monthly income is around $900. I want her to be as well as she can be in her golden days so I’ve been putting it on credit and every month shoveling hundreds of dollars into that debt hole with nothing to show for it. And I’ll be doing it until she’s gone because I owe her the best for all she’s done for me.
I’m opening for these somewhat simpler commissions I can get done sort of quick while I am also at a training center with 9 hour days all week.
Busts:
b/w $40
flat color $55
Torso:
b/w $50
flat color $70
I also have other places you can join up at (links in pinned post) or can take donations directly. And it’s okay if you have nothing to spare, I get it; sharing this post around would be a huge help.
I am sort of open for regular commissions but there is a longer wait time for those as I have some folks who have works in progress.
cryptid is the Bunyip
petty crime is Trespassing
October art prompt: Cryptids and petty crimes I'm not here to talk about the various research holes I had to dive into to even find out what a Bunyip is, exactly, besides a creature that lives in billabongs (which are so much more than a brand of ugly outdoor wear). I'm here to talk about a cartoon show that aired in the 90's called Taz-Mania, which was about The Tasmanian Devil from Looney Tunes and his family. I remember watching like 800 episodes of this show but cannot remember what a single one was about. What I do remember are the opening lines of the theme song: Welcome to the land that's way under, down under,
the sky's always yellow in the rain or shine!

Mothman and stealing all the cheese from the dairy aisle
October art prompt: cryptids and petty crimes
Mothman is apparently a prolific criminal as I’ve gotten several requests for him, so I decided to base each mothman request on a different moth. This demon of the dairy is based on a Luna moth.

The Patreon Post
SO HERE'S THE DEAL: I do not want to make anyone have to pay to see my art.
Let's be real: there are like fifty bajillion other, more skilled, and better-known artists on Patreon putting out more detailed, more unique, more in-demand, and just more art than I am (or want to). I'm a self-taught, frequently distracted amateur who's had an iPad for a year. I'm not gonna pretend that I am going to be able to pull in more Patreon subs-- or keep them, for that matter-- on the strength of my random doodles alone. I have never really thought or even hoped that I could do that, because it would mean Doing Art As A Job, and I absolutely do not want to associate "drawing" with "work." (I also don't have the means, time, motivation or experience to self-promote and/or keep a small community of followers entertained, and even the thought of having to do all that on top of having to Draw For Work is terrifying.) There's the self esteem-destroying gutpunch that someone with BPD (me haha!) receives when they ask if something they created is "worth" a certain amount and are answered with silence. (If you have BPD, you know that 'silence' is so much worse than 'no.') I don't think that anyone is actually saying my work is worthless any more than I think stairs were invented to fuck over people with bad knees, but I want to avoid one for the same reason I avoid the other: hurts and bad for healing. And also, maybe most importantly, most of the fans of my work are my friends, and most of my friends are poor people. I do not ever want someone to have to choose between "Eggman weeping as he cradles a slain Speedy Gonzales" and "rent." Lots of people I know just don't have any money to spare even for professionally made entertainment, or, like me, sometimes they have money (yay, beginning of the month!) and sometimes they don't (booo, end of the month). I'm not gonna put a paywall between my friends and my art. So, as always, you can view all of my art on Patreon for free, without an account*. (*you will have to have an account to view NSFW stuff but this will be in the 'free' tier as well.) H O W E V E R. You guys I am so fucking poor. If you follow my blog you know the whole story already-- mental illness, chronic illness, chronic mental illness, surprise rescue puppies, surprise fines from the city, the fukken recently concussed clown show that is social services in my area-- and you've seen me having to crowdfund for everything from food to gas to dog emergencies. We budget down to the cent and have cut out so many things (like the meal replacement shakes for my eating disorder lol) and we're still not making ends meet. I've got friends who help, and they help a lot, but I hate the miserable, humiliating task of asking for help every single month. (You guys also know that I don't have family that can help me, even if shit goes critical. I was on my own while I was a homeless sex worker, on my own when we lived in a shed with no windows, on my own when we were in a house with no heat and only one source of running water, and definitely on my own now, in desperate need of mobility aids, house cleaners, and a god damn break.)
So here's where I'm at: I can't ask a few people for a lot of support, but I can ask a bunch of people for a little bit. If you like my art and want to help me keep making it, want to help me make shitpost replies to people on the internet, want to help me do free askbox art challenges: Put your doodle prompt requests in the askbox. You can even request stuff anonymously! Participate in polls about what prompts you wanna see. Reblog the art you like, show off the doodle you got, leave keysmashes in the tags. The more people see the post, the more statistically likely it is we'll find the one person on Tumblr with disposable income. Also, people should know they can get free art when the prompts are live! Sub to the Patreon if you can spare three bucks a month (you can also do Ko-fi if you don't want to make a Patreon account). Ko-fi is also a good place to just plunk something into the tip jar once in a while. There are Artcards and Monthly Sketch sub tiers on Patreon for a little bit more, but I will send an Artcard to pretty much anyone who asks as long as I have some left. The art is free, it will always be free. But if you can, spare a dollar (or three).
They’re so friggin’ cute in this game! I had to draw them. :)
ID: Hovering over a hazy lava lake, a red two legged dragon opens its mouth in an expression that could be menacing or silly. Yellow flames whip behind their two horns in a long mane. A green orb glows under their chin. Their body is long and segmented like a milipede, red with each segment ending in orange. Their tail spikes are yellow, three fingered hands tipped with black claws. Huge red eyes boggle in their skull-shaped head.
I wanted to practice drawing furries, so I drew @inkysqueed’s lovely Kitty Rosa. I have not seen many more beautiful cats than this one.
do you have any recommendations for learning about comparative anatomy?
(assuming a follow on from the drawing humans with beastly features post) Anatomy textbooks and diagrams mostly in my case. Tracing photos works great as a way to familiarise yourself with something without the pressure of copying it right. There are also some interesting diagrams you can get just by googling, like this, which kinda explain the concept. Long story short: same bones
A good look at primatology as well helps with adding humanlike features to beasties. knowing what features ping as "primate" to our eyes will help make a creature look more humanish if you add those things. That way you don't end up drawing dogs
On paper these animals have similar features (big canine teeth, a long muzzle, wide cheekbones to support big jaw muscles) but they're obviously different and one of them looks like us
For real, if you post images without tagging for sensitive current topics like war just to get around people's tags, I'm blocking your ass. That is a shitty thing to do especially to screen reader users who have to take extra steps just to read the thing only to get hit with upsetting content that is filtered for a goddamn reason! Tag your shit, people!

alright, I’m doing it. the “Argath Thadalfus Did Nothing Wrong” fic (also known as Sadgath). Title: On A Bed of Rusted Narcissus Fandom: Final Fantasy Tactics (War of the Lions) Warnings: Canonical Character Death Tags: Post-Canon, full list of tags in the link Wordcount: 10,578 Summary: Ramza returns to Fort Ziekden and finds that not all wounds are mended by time. Excerpt: A shade, then, Ramza thought as he used his teeth to pull the cork of the waterskin. A ghast the same as those that haunted Lake Poescas, waiting to suck the life from unwary travelers. The calabash dangling from a brass ring on the saddle held a potent mixture of herbs and fermented fruit juice that the desertmen used to deaden the pain of old injuries both of the body and the mind. He’d come to rely on it after too many years of chemist-brewed potions during the war had made the mere smell of one turn his stomach and set his heart pounding. But he wasn’t a fool: tucked away in one of his saddlebags, well wrapped with cotton for protection, was a glass bottle of the finest elixir money could buy, kept in reserve for a dire emergency. Only a few drops of it would cause all that remained of Argath Thadalfus to cease to be.
