Art dump from December i totally didn’t forget to post :P
(the strawberry shortcake character are redesigns. Ignore that skinner man doesnt look right :D)
I bought special badges with canvases on them! This allowed me to decorate them! In fact, I have three of these, but I will only show you one >:3
Ref for miles he’s REAL
Wally got those most votes so far so here’s the football star! I also drew him in math. His eyes r a little odd but I tired :p (I got the years right I think)
Only a gay person would do this
Can confirm we do travel in packs
I'm just saying queer kids, especially in Midwestern suburbia, travel in packs and if Ruth is canonically queer there ain't no way that Pete and Richie are cishet
Really happy to see this at my local library
I want to draw the rest of them but I’m really indecisive, so pick for me :). Probably post em one at a time!
(sorry for the long post)
The same Astarion artwork continues to be stolen time and time again by unscrupulous shops (I've filed over 20 complaints, just on Etsy alone). One particular independent shop refuses to remove the items using my artwork, ignores my messages, and deletes all my comments warning buyers.
Here's the specific artwork, my original fanart, and the low-quality and insolent modification to turn it into a shoddy sweatshirt and t-shirt design. Which is promoted on TikTok !
This has to stop.
Sharing your work on the internet, or even just sharing your passion, has become a nightmare for artists and creators. We already have enough to deal with in the face of AI threats and platforms like Aliexpress; now we have to manage a surge in theft as well.
Here are the screenshots :
I'm seeking your help in identifying the authors of these artworks so that I can notify them.
I'm also currently in contact with a specialized attorney because I've had enough.
The cup is full, and I want to be able to showcase my drawings without enriching thieves. It's particularly painful during this period of economic crisis, where, like many others, I'm struggling to make ends meet, to feed my two young kids.

The website says the shop is located in 217 S Parramore Ave, Orlando, FL 32805, United States
