More spidery goodness.

Not a specific depiction of any one Spider-Man, more of a generic conception of an early 20s Peter Parker as I imagine him, though I did use the MCU suit because I liked the way it looked with those black stripes around the arms.

He even started to look a little bit Miguel with that hair.

The world needed an Iron Man version of the Spiderpoint meme (did it, Quona, did it really?), so I drew this ridiculousness based on these:

My darling spouse minted this on a fucking coin, like a totally normal person does. That's a completely normal thing to do.

Hello again my darlings. I return to you with more smut.

I've got a piece coming up that required me to ask myself: "what does South Downs era Crowley wear?"

My answer was: "a collar."

But... I can't draw filth for that particular project, so I decided to paint two pieces. This is my smutty South Downs era Aziracrow. Hope you like it.

Detail shots from the high res under the jump!

If you like this piece and wanna see more smut, I just launched my Patreon where I'll be posting Patron-only NSFW smutty exclusives every month!

This is the full-sized piece from which I pulled the cover for @cemeteryangel725's fic, Of Snowbirds and Heartstones (Explicit on AO3, mind the tags!) I was thrilled that Cem asked me to draw the cover for the sequel to Of Fire and Falcons, because I love these fucking Rennies so much. --- --- ---

Of Fire and Falcons Podfic

So, today is my one year anniversary of publishing podfics and I could not be more thrilled to be launching this project, which is also my 60th work on AO3!

Huge thanks to @cemeteryangel725 for creating this story and bringing us these characters. I love these horny Rennie boys so much.

Awkward wink and bisexual finger guns to @quona for the custom podfic cover. Your original art for this takes my breath away and I'm so so grateful for your time to make the podfic cover.

And last but not least, a huge shoutout to my podfic collaborator in crime @shipper-of-all-things (aka Cowie_podfics) for agreeing to do this with me. I know we have to literally overcome the curvature of the Earth to make this happen my friend, but it's worth it and I enjoy working with you so much.

Today I have the first five chapters to share and I'll post another 5 per week for each of the next three weeks. I do hope you'll give it a listen!

Listen Here

Also give some love to the original fic if you haven't already. And if listening isn't your thing, do yourself a favor and read it.

Star Snek

—- —- —-

I illustrated this intergalactic space snake of creation for @goodomensafterdark’s epic fic project, The Serpent and the Owl (AO3, Explicit) an absolutely MASSIVE project to write and illustrate a monsterfucking long fic.

This piece is for chapter one, wherein we meet StarSnek!Crowley and set up the world in which the story takes place. The first four chapters of TSATO are up right now, posting weekly.

He’s just vibin around this black hole, makin star stuff. Look at the little planets forming in his coils:

February 19th, 2024: launch date of the epic fic project.

January 19th, 2025: the publishing of the epic fic, named The Serpent and the Owl, starts.

Total amount of people who wrote or made art for this epic fic: 69 writers and artists.

Total amount of people involved in the project: 75 people, including: 35 writers, 31 artists, 4 creators who took on both writing and art, 5 betas (+3 writers and 1 artist who took on the task), and 1 podficcer.

This is the first part of a series in 7 parts. And I promise: there is a happy ending

Here are the Sargent portraits that I referenced so that you can see where I drew inspiration for this piece!

Mrs. Hugh Hammersley, John Singer Sargent (1892)

I specifically referenced the rug, giltwood furniture, that little round pillow, and her skintones.

Gertrude Vernon, Lady Agnew of Lochlaw, John Singer Sargent (1892)

Referenced for pose and expression.

Ena and Betty, Daughters of Asher and Mrs. Wertheimer, John Singer Sargent (1901)

The vase!

Lady Helen Vincent, Viscountess d'Abernon, John Singer Sargent (1904)

The hands playing with jewelry, expression.

Milicent, Duchess of Sutherland, John Singer Sargent (1904)

Skintone, colors of the dress and embroidery, expression.

The Daughters of Edward Darley Boit, John Singer Sargent (1882)

Back ground colors, the vases, the floor and rug

A Place to Call Home --- --- ---

This piece was commissioned by my dear friend @tawnyontumblr for HER dear friend @saretton to accompany a WONDERFUL fic that Tawny wrote for Saretton's birthday!

The fic is A Place to Call Home (Explicit, on AO3), a Human AU set in the Late Victorian/1890s and featuring Portrait Painter!Aziraphale and Stage Actor!Crowley as his artistic muse. I am in love with this concept.

Crowley's voice was almost too soft to hear. It nearly faded amidst the sweep of Aziraphale’s brush over canvas, the carriage rattling past outside—another layer of stimuli amidst the light, and the smell of linseed oil and turpentine. The way the fabric Crowley wore hissed gently over his skin as he slowly, minutely shifted position and then moved back.

He half sat half reclined on a Louis XVI armchair that Aziraphale had picked up in an estate sale. His legs were crossed, and the emerald banyan, embroidered with gold, slid from one shoulder. Aziraphale had been staring at that curve of lightly freckled skin while he'd been mixing rose madder and Chinese white, letting the brush sweep over the damp canvas as he sought to give voice to the hunger he felt.

The idea here was for me to paint the portrait of Crowley that Aziraphale is painting in the story.

Tawny asked me to paint with John Singer Sargent vibes, who is quite possibly my favorite artist of all time, and one of, if not the greatest, portrait painters of the 19th century. It's quite a tall order to try to imitate his style, so I settled for something Sargentesque! She also specified that "I want I am both painting and fucking him vibes. Intimate. That's the word." And I hope I delivered.

@goodomensafterdark Ya'll need to go read this fic its hot af.

I post all of my work, including the really filthy shit, full-sized WIPs, tutorials, comics, exclusive pieces, and more on my on my Patreon

A print of this piece will be up in my print shop on INPRNT!

Reblogging this one because I was looking at this piece today and still am super in love with it. ❤️

Here's some process shots from this one, as a treat.

The original anatomy sketch.

Started laying down color while referencing a few portraits by John Singer Sargent. I specifically paid attention to how he painted hair (Sargent usually painted hair as one large, dark mass of color with little highlight detail) and how he painted skin (very subtle and smooth, not a huge amount of contrast).

Got the environment blocked in a little, too. I put that blue and white porcelain vase in because I can never, ever resist blue and white porcelain.

More detail in the environment and the character.

Adding a pattern to the chair upholstery.

Working on the rug, here.

This is the full rug design. I sketched the whole rug out in a separate canvas and then overlaid it into the working canvas and warped it into place to use as a reference.

Took this shot when I was halfway done with the decanter and glass.

This right here.

I try my damndest to reply to as many comments on my visual art as I can because that art is my fulltime job.

That is not the case with fanfic authors; they owe their readers nothing. You got that reading experience for free, out of the kindness of the author's heart. If you leave a comment, that is fantastic, but that doesn't create any further obligation on the writer's part, imo.

It is nice when authors reply to our comments, but they don't owe us any interaction. I am personally thankful and overjoyed for every single wonderful comment I get on my visual art, as I'm sure all fanfic authors are for their literary art, but it takes a huge amount of time and mental energy to reply to comments.

I frequently (like, very, very frequently) hear my author friends talk about how stressed and guilty they feel for not keeping up with comment replies, and I think that's a shame. That's a hobby for them, not a job. The hobby should be fun, not a stressful obligation.

So would you rather have a reply to your comment or another chapter of your favorite fic? I know which I'd choose.

And maybe in 2025 fanfic authors will reply to comments more too and not ignore their readers🤗🤭

I try to respond to every comment I get. These days I rarely get one so it’s easier because I only get something posted like twice a year. Back in the day though it could get overwhelming. I do try.

SLEEP PARALYSIS DEMON CROWLEY SLEEP PARALYSIS DEMON CROWLEY SLEEP PARALYSIS DEMON CROWLEY

I LOVE HIM SO FUCKING MUCH, I CANT EVEN.

I look at this every day when I sit down at my workstation to paint (Alongside the rest of the Trebol shrine).

Look at his silly eyes! And his fabulous hair! And his CREEPY HANDS. AND HIS ADORABLE LIL SMILE.

A piece I did as a Christmas gift for @quona based on one of their favorite fics Be Still, My Love, Be Still by @entanglednow

Drawing Sleep Paralysis Demon Crowley and finally playing around with my ink and watercolors again was so much fun!
