Mmm... this one would be interesting in a cult store such as this 🤔
It’s finally over. Selling at Indy Pop Con was a good learning experience for me and I plan on doing cons and other shows in the future. Some tips I learned would be to bite the bullet and sell Pokemon that are very popular. (I sold the Volcarona, Milotic and Gyarados lines. While I love those pieces, they didn’t sell all that well.) Make large signs so people can spot smaller artwork from further away. (I feel I lost some sales due to the placement and smallness of my prints for the Wings of Fire dragons. That and Saron’s prints attracted the eyes, not mine. Dana’s plushies also brought in a lot of eyes.) I’ll be making an etsy and redbubble soon as those will be ways to start getting my art out for sale online. We were both often asked if we had them. Commissions are also on the near horizon. Make keychains and stickers options for purchase at cons. My art in particular fits both of those formats really well imo.
I thought I’d upload some pictures of @the-lady-saron ‘s , @danawoodcg and my booth. Also, have a picture of me posing with these two fantastic cosplayers. (2B and a fabulous desert machine.) (OMG I’m not actually a black and white cat!? Gasp!)
Colored version of Mikhail from Drakengard 3. Done as a hybrid between digital and traditional. I will probably make a gif later of the process. (*spoilers* I tend to draw things in pieces these days, even on paper.)
Shadow of the Colossus | First Playthrough | Part 2
Ok so here we go again! Onwards to victory!!
Fourth Colossus
I ran Agro into a rock and then jumped off, pretty sure I took damage. It was great.
This Colossus has a fantastic mustache
OH! ITS CHASING ME
aaaaa don’t step on me please
Arrows to do nothing! NOTHING BUT ANGER IT!
Agro is just standing in the middle, just mocking me
SECRET TUNNEL
Right, so I’m hiding in the tunnel, my controller is rumbling like crazy
This is definitely going no where
Oooh I can sneak up on it
It’s tail is a ladder!
Oh it’s trying to toss me off but it’s not gunna happen!
Haha gotcha!
Beautiful cut scene swan dive
To bad smoke, I’m already dead!
Smoke got me anyway...
And we’re back
Naww, Agro are you worried about our lady friend?
Fifth Colossus
Just realized the laser beams in the sky
They are very ominous...
Well then, off we go to run around on some cliffs Agro
I found a sparkly thing that was making a bunch of noise!
Got the sparkly, nothing happened
Oh and I fell into water
There is a wall blocking me... am I supposed to find another way around?!
*several minutes of rock scaling and aimless swimming later*
Ooooooh... gotta dive under...
Giant birb!
Really feel like swimming toward is it ill advised
It’s ignoring me, that’s good for now
“Shoot it to get its attention” is not a good plan Carol but fine
OH ITS MAD
It just body slammed me into the lake
Trying that again
I’m up! I’m running down it’s tail!
Nearly fell off there but I’m good
Oh no...
Oh. No.
I have to climb to the wing tips while it’s flying
*several unplanned departures later*
Mayday mayday we’re going down
Apparently I’m swimming faster than the smoke cause it’s been a while
Oh it got me...
If there is a sad smoky dude for every one I defeats, there is gonna be one happening party around my corpse by the end
Sixth Colossus
Agro, you are a saint for running all over the place back and forth just for me
This one is pretty far away
Also I think I’m lost in the trees
There is a swamp!
I don’t think I’m in the right place
Yeahhh I’m not supposed to be here
Underground I go
Hmm don’t think throwing myself off the edge was the best way to do this but seeing myself fall into the cut scene was worth it
Oooh lovely beard you have there
Oh its breaking everything
Aaaand I’m trapped
Screw it! I’m gonna jump on its beard!!
It worked!!
Oh it shook me off... and there goes half my health
Back to the beard!
Also there was an arrow in the beard
I’m feeling more and more conflicted murdering these colossus
Also this one had cool shoes
RIP cool shoes dude
If there isn’t a smoky dude dance party at the end of all this I’ll be severely disappointed
Well I’m gonna stop there for now. See you next time!
Bulky laser woman….

Shadow of the Colossus | First Playthrough
So I recently purchased the 2018 remaster of Shadow of the Colossus. I have never played the game and besides a few Game Grumps clips and some concept artwork I know next to nothing about the game. I thought I’d give it a try.
What I do know-
It’s about this guy who is trying to resurrect his girlfriend? sister? totally platonic female friend? by killing enormous beasts.
I have seen Agro’s fate... and frankly that’s a good thing. As someone who has lost a horse it is probably for the best I don’t subject myself to that sort of pain again without warning.
The music is fantastic. I’ve listened to the soundtrack before and I look forward to having context for it now.
I’m notoriously bad a platformers despite my love for them. I’m aware the controls are a bit wonky but if they are anything like The Last Guardian, I should be fine. I really enjoyed that game.
Here we go!
Adjust brightness!? There aren’t any jump scares in this, right?
First off, this intro is gorgeous.
Is this bird following us important?
Woah, that is one long guardrail-less death bridge if I ever saw one.
Oooh photomode!
Agro, Voice of Reason, Conqueror of Many Stairs
Dramatic corpse blanket removal
SPOOKY SMOKE PEOPLE
MAGIC SWORD
Dormin, I’ve come to bargain
I am but a mere mortal before you skylight gods! Please fix my lady friend
Uh Dormin, one of your voices is starting a bit early. (I’m calling her Carol)
DAMNIT CAROL! Get it together!!
Alright have my mission! Murder living idol knockoffs, got it.
First Colossus
My sword is a laser pointer!
I preceded to press triangle and yell AGRO a bunch of times before finally getting on the horse
Agro is unamused I’m sure.
Best advice I think on the camera controls is to just let the camera do what it wants
Ok so it says to jump, and grab that ledge? No
*2 minutes later* OH... there are plants here to climb
Ooh cut scene
Hard to believe this game was even possible on the PS2. I mean that’s a huge fully rigged and animated character that you can climb and interact with. Crazy!
Running, running, running
Must climb leg hair to glowy tattoo
WOAH AAHH ITS SHAKING ME OFF
and I got stepped on
Ooooh gotcha, stab stab stab
I did it!!
AAHH SMOKE IS CHASING ME
Did the smoke just stab me?!
And I’m dead
Light at the end of the tunnel? Is someone crying?
Wait how did I get back here?! What about Agro?
Uhh, spooky smoke guy
I’m good, and the statue crumbled... progress
Onwards!!
Second Colossus
Agro is back!
Oh pray to regain health at the glowing statue, cool
Do I smack it with my sword?
Don’t think that worked...
Nearly rode Agro off a cliff
Don’t laser pointer sword and drive
Earthquake!!
Agro, we are here
Woah giant bull, with an awesome unibrow
NO! IT STEPPED ON AGRO
Agro’s fine
Gotta use my arrowssss
Oh I’m terrible at this
Oof I feel bad shooting it
Wait... where are the glow tattoos!?
Hold up what? What now?
I fell off...
Oh hi Agro!
Dormin that’s not a helpful tip! DAMNIT CAROL!!
Oooh... Gotta switch to the sword. Oops
The sound design is phenomenal, so cool. 100% suggest you play with headphones
I did it! Aw but I feel bad though
Agro, save me from the smoke!
Aaah no I’m dead again
And we’re back... TWO SMOKY GUYS
Everyone I kill is going to return as a sad, smoky guy huh?
What’s next Dormin?
Third Colossus
Still don’t know how to use this praying stone thing
This map feels massive
Aww, Agro can’t swim... sad face
Oh no there is a dive mechanic... is there an underwater colossus? Oh boy
Running up this bridge thing
And... I missed the jump
Swim of shame
I’m back, gotta be careful this time
Damnit... swim of shame again
Careful...
*angry swimming*
Ok... ok.. not that hard just get close to the edge
And I fell...
*several attempts later*
I don’t know what I did right that time but that victory may be more satisfying than murdering this giant
OH It squashed me
Took me far too long to notice the metal platform in the middle
I DID IT! Yeah that jump was the hardest part of this haha
HAHAHA I did a beautiful swan dive from the top in the cut scene
And we’re back
3 smoky dudes - check
Welp, I’m gonna pause here. Until next time!
Here’s Satan…I mean Mei…

So, in case I haven’t said anything yet on Tumblr, I will be at Indy Pop Con selling art. All of the above guys will be for purchase, as well as six Pokemon. I thought it would be handy to showcase all the Dragonets together.
You can get updates and details (when I post the event page for Indy Pop Con) here —- link
Please do not re-post, re-use, or re-edit my work for this site or any others.
So I saw this meme floating around, so I decided to hop on the bandwagon.
I love her! She’s a cinnamon roll that protects the other cinnamon rolls!

Fun day in Venice
as a fun challenge i made a tune using only ukulele! everything on this is chopped-up, pitch-shifted ukulele i recorded :)
I am that friend... muhahahaha
Repost if you are that one friend who takes at least one person on a quest of sinking entirely into a fandom.
thoughts on the friendzone
when i was 5 years old my best friend was a boy named kyle who didn’t know how to knock on doors so he made dinosaur noises outside my window to wake me up in the summer until i demonstrated how to ball his fists and slam them against my doors. we collected caterpillars in my trailer park and built them houses while we traded pokemon cards. he wasn’t the only one. there was ben, and mitch, and noah—but kyle’s the only one who hurt me, because when he tried to kiss me and i asked him why, he told me “because you’re a girl and i’m a boy, shouldn’t we like each other?”
i missed him so much and i wondered why he couldn’t just be my friend like he always was
in the first grade there was rich and joseph and i got sent to detention with them almost every day with a smile on my face. we built block towers and sang to my teacher’s lion king soundtracks when she’d turn the lights off during lunch time. one day they got in a fist fight over me at recess, and i wondered why they felt they needed to share my friendship, like it was something they owned.
in the second grade zach and i played yu gi oh under our desks during free time and i got moved for talking to him constantly. everyone in the class would tease him and i for talking, asking when we were going to date already, asking him if he’d kissed me, and he stopped being my friend.
when i was 11 i met a chubby boy with the name of a colour who wore puffy vests and unwashed t-shirts, with greasy hair and bright blue eyes and a smile that hid hurt behind it. people didn’t like him because he was silly, but i liked him, because i was also silly. he became my friend the day he bought me 5 giant roses and asked me to be his girlfriend, and i politely declined but promised him i’d be his best friend because i’d always wanted a best guy friend that stuck around. we burnt our feet on the concrete during the summer and walked home with the sunset silhouetting us. he talked often about how he loved me, but never blamed me for being me, even though he refused to move on. that boy dyed his hair jet black and sat on the end of my bed playing songs to me on guitar, and all that pent up rage from before didn’t show until the first time he slapped me across the face and called me a dumb cunt.
in the 7th grade there was a boy named ryan who sat next to me on the bus and talked to me about manga. he’d ask me personal invasive questions but i didn’t mind because it was attention and i liked attention. i was dating another guitarist with curly brown hair, one who was much more kind-tempered than the other, and ryan mentioned how much of an asshole he was every day. i wondered, why, why does he think the love of my life is an asshole? but whenever i asked him, he just told me, “girls only date assholes. there’s no room for nice guys like me.”
i wondered, if he was so nice, why did he say such mean things?
he never stopped with me, taking me to movies, hanging out with me, you know. being friendly. i thought we were friends. but then, how many times had i thought that before?
how many times had i bonded with a boy, thought they got me, only for them to ask me if i wanted to make out?
how come when i told ryan i was coming out as a lesbian, he stopped being my friend, and said “damnit, the one girl i really want to pound into a mattress, and she’s only interested in chicks!”
there was a boy my junior year who stayed up all night with me until the sun rose, talking about life, past loves, hopes, dreams. beneath a million twinkling stars spanning forever, he brushed long brown hair out of his eyes and listened to me talk about the history that made me. then he asked me if i’d ever consider dating a guy, and complained about how he’d never get laid.
when i told him no a couple hundred times, he found new girls to listen to.
i would sit on the couch and play zelda with dakota, and he’d talk about all my favourite games with me. he was the closest thing to support i had, and the letters and poems he wrote me were always so kind and friendly. but he’d put his arms around me on the couch, and no matter how many times i told him i was uncomfortable, he’d still come over every day and do it.
“don’t you know how it feels to love someone and not have them love you back? don’t you know what it feels like to be friendzoned?”
when i meet guys who talk about the friendzone, who talk about the girls who don’t give “nice guys” like them i chance, i always want to just say
when i was 10 years old i met a girl whose brown hair fell across her shoulders and whos eyes sparkled when the sunlight hit them, whose voice was like velvet and whose scent was like mountain smoke, who made me dizzier than a fly climbing a sugar hill. and i’m 18 years old, and i still love her, and she knows, and she doesn’t love me.
but my first thoughts upon hearing her rejection were not “what a bitch,” were not “she just wants a douchebag and not a nice girl like me!” were not “im going to keep pushing her until she dates me,”
they were
“she is the best friend i have ever had, and i am the best she’s ever had, and i would hate to take that away from her.”
so before you play the victim, mr. Nice Guy, before you angrily throw your fedora on the ground and blame the girl you claim to adore so much:
put yourself in the shoes of a girl who thought she made a wonderful friend, only to find out that he just wanted her for sex. that he just wanted her for a relationship. a girl who was just an object to win, a prize. a girl who’s trust you’ve just shattered.
maybe she friendzoned you. but you girlfriendzoned her, first.
