A Quick 40 Minute Drawing Of My Friend And I That I Did After We Had A Very Long Week (ibispaint X On

a few days later, I've embroidered the majority of the back panel. i still want to add things like shooting stars, more details on the luna moth, more stars behind the ferns, etc, but here's what I've gotten done:

I've also sewn on a moth patch that my best friend gave me a while ago - I've finally found a place for it!

and I've turned one of the front pockets into a cute monster mouth, an idea that i got from a patch somebody showed on Pinterest. instead of just a patch, it's a functional pocket! the teeth didn't quite turn out how I'd hoped, but i can clean them up a bit later

i might add more details to give it more of a body, and not just a mouth with disembodied eyes. if you have any ideas, please comment or leave them in the tags!

the latest things i've added are a panel on the inside of my vest under the collar, and some stars on the ends of the hood strings, both using the same blue flannel i used for the pockets.

i'll continue updating as i work on it!

for about a week now I've been working on a DIY vest. it's not a battle vest, but i am taking inspiration from some of the patch ideas and maybe adding spikes

here's my process so far:

(EDITED with image descriptions - thanks for the reminder in the tags!!)

i dyed a pale blue vest with one full bottle of graphite synthetic dye. it's still sadly a little blue, but it's dark enough that it isn't super noticable, so I'll live. if you have any questions about the exact process, ill answer them in the comments!

i then added two regular pockets after seam ripping the fake ones - why do they even put fake pockets on these - and two inner pockets using the shape of the upper pocket as a guide. one of them is embroidered with quotes from a post by turboennui on here about Laika, the first dog in space sent from Russia

then i added a detachable hood taken from an old sweatshirt, which is attached to the vest via six buttons. i get anxious when i don't have a hood on my clothes, so if i don't wear this vest over a sweatshirt, i still have the option to have more comfort

yesterday, i planned out and began embroidering the back panel. it will be a detachable piece of black fabric from an old button up shirt, connected only with safety pins so i don't have to commit to a theme and instead have multiple artworks to swap out. this one is a few black ferns and a pale blue moth (type undecided) atop a starry night sky background

if you guys have any ideas of stuff to add or embroider, or tips for making a denim vest in general, comments are greatly appreciated! ill post another update once the vest is finished

Saving My Fanfiction Work

Due to the recent events in the United States. To clarify the recent events being Trump becoming president of the United States, Project 2025 more than likely going to be integrated. If you are not familiar with Project 2025 I urge you to look it up.

Along with the KOSA bill that has many problems and it has passed the senate now needing the finally vote in the house, which both are majority red. Go here to learn more on why it needs to be stopped and how you can. This is another component that will harm our communities. Go to: stopkosa.com

With all of its harmful plans some of the plans are to take down/restrict internet sites that have LGBTQ+ communities that means communities like the fan-fiction communities/sites in the United States.

I am only giving resources to those inside and out of the US in case they banned sites that hold fan-fiction. Better safe than sorry.

Being that I live in the US the possibly of mine and many others Fanfiction has the possibly of being in danger. Therefore I'm giving you recourses. (I'm not leaving or stopping my writing, I'm here for the fight!)

For those wanting to save my fanfiction, I give you permission to download them off of AO3 and to be used for your personal collection. Meaning, your eyes only. To clarify I’m saying this as others have asked if they could download my fanfic so for those who would like to you can.

If you do not know how to download them many others on online have tutorials on how to download them and add them to our phone libraries.

Here are some links to tutorials:

Please stop trigger tagging with #epilepsy tw/cw/warning/etc.

I need every single person to understand how horrible tumblr’s tagging system is

I go into the tag for epilepsy and its all flashing lights. We can’t use our own tag because people without epilepsy fill it up with improper warnings.

Use ‘flashing’ in place of ‘epilepsy’ in your tags. You aren’t warning people of epileptics, you’re warning us of flashing lights. Please please tag properly. Epileptics say this endlessly and constantly and it’s ignored. You are risking lives by doing this.

Here’s proof of what I mean:

THIS POST IS 100% OKAY TO REBLOG, I ENCOURAGE PEOPLE WITHOUT EPILEPSY TO ESPECIALLY DO SO!

drawing of an elf that i'm taking to a competition very soon - will let you all know how it goes! inspired by the elves in the LOTR series, and the concept of infection in general. the final image almost looks inverted with the colors i chose, which i love because of how it adds to the unsettling feeling

just a reminder that my art commissions are open! message me anywhere for more info - but if you're interested in OC sheets, D&D character designs, cityscapes, monster art, etc., I'm happy to provide!

here are some of my pieces as a reference:

To all of my queer and trans siblings, we will survive.

To my fellow beautiful Black and Brown brothers and sisters, we will survive.

To my fellow women, we will survive.

To our friends who were once strangers across the ocean in Palestine, The Congo, Sudan, Lebanon, Yemen, Syria, Iran, and more, we will survive.

To the next generation, we will survive, so you can too.

To fight, is to survive, so that’s what will continue to do.

I tried drawing the inside of the cabin from slay the princess in cylindrical perspective. I did way too much hatching. I’ve learned my lesson, I won't do it again.

By the way, have I ever told you that I am good at perspective?
