Finished Labyrinth works. Charcoal.

2 down and 1 to go

[dmsilvisart]

Recent works coming soon.

I haven't posted any art here in AGES, it wasn't intentional, to describe to past few years of my life would take too long. It comes down to loss, illness, stress, menopause (all the symptoms you've heard about are real just fyi...THE BRAIN FOG...MY. GOD.DOES THAT SUCK!) also successes, happiness, hope and ya' know....LIFE, but slowly i'm coming back, getting back to me.

Been sick lately, stomach flu LOVES ME. I've been re-reading so much fanfic, ally comfort stories and finding new works that are just so healing to me.

To all the authors and artists in here, and AO3 that always bring me joy, thank you! I haven't been as supportive as I should be and basically suck at any kind of social media upkeep.

I have 3 commissions on my desk right now that I'm excited to share when they're done...

Here's a sneak peek, all Labyrinth related.

Love and miss y'all. Tell me what you've been up to.

@mayalaen I was curating my artwork for portfolio and came across this, I'm so happy it still has a place with you!

Land of Confusion

David Draiman of Disturbed

Phil Collins of Genesis

Based on the song Land of Confusion

for @mayalaen for her August Birthday!   I wasn’t just asking those questions I asked out of ONLY curiosity, I had an ulterior motive and it turned into this artwork :)

Charcoal, graphite, ink lettering.

Too many men There’s too many people Making too many problems And not much love to go round Can’t you see This is a land of confusion.Now this is the world we live in And these are the hands we’re given Use them and let’s start trying To make it a place worth fighting for.

AMAZING art.....just WOW. @hawkland

Art Masterpost: Werewolf and the Vamp Story by @queerwolf79 | queerwerewolf Art by @hawkland | sidewinder Hello hello I'm back again, with my third and final collaboration for the @spnbangbang (and my next to last art post for this very busy month of November!) I knew I had to do something to celebrate our favorite werepire couple after DJ and Ty got engaged, so this was actually the first piece I did for the Bang Bang this round:

I envisioned them sizing each other up and maybe being kind of flirty in Purgatory...when/how/why they would meet up there was up to the author. I'm so delighted @queerwolf79 jumped on my prompt and was so enthusiastic for the idea! For the banner art I did two small (10x25cm) close-up paintings of them, here they are separately:

They both have such different/fun faces to paint, I loved having the "excuse" to draw them some more.

Anyway, please go read the story and give my author lots of love!

Hello again

[dmsilvisart]

thank you to every single fucking person on this god forsaken site that has ever posted your own art or writing. You really put a vulnerable, important part of yourself out in the open on the hellscape that is the internet and if that isnt an act of bravery and a labor of love I dont know what one is

Hi! Followyourenergy has graciously given me permission to typeset Crashing In for my personal library (not for resale or to be shared) and I wanted to ask if I could have your permission to include the lovely art you made in it as well? Absolutely no worries if not, but I wanted to ask 💙

THIS IS WHAT I'M HERE FOR! This made me so happy and I felt at peace.

Destiel, kinda 15x18 coda, gratuitous fluff. Clowning hours are OPEN, people.

It feels like it happens in slow motion.

Cas has stumbled to his feet, touching his chest and trenchcoat like he’s confused by their tangibility. He turns just in time for Jack to tackle-hug him, and for Sam to lope over and wrap his freakishly long arms around them both. Dean thinks they’re laughing, but it’s hard to tell over the rushing in his ears. He feels like he’s walking through molasses.

There are so many things he wants to say, but the words get caught in his throat like an inconvenient, gay traffic jam and it’s all he can do to put one foot in front of the other. Sam and Jack drift away. Cas turns.

And then it’s just the two of them.

Cas looks—alive, which is really all that matters. Same blue eyes, same wild dark hair, same clothes. He’s wearing this beaming smile that’s fading in his mouth but staying in his eyes, despite the fact that his shoulders start to tense. He is deliberately, inhumanely still. He’s nervous, Dean realizes.  

Dean’s thought about this a lot. Years. He’s lost sleep over it; not only his own confession, but the idea of… them together; how that would work, what it’d look like. It’s been a source of anxiety and comfort and desire, and now that everything’s over, now that he gets to have his big friggin��� moment, everything he’s ever imagined flies out the goddamn window.

Dean moves before he understands what he’s doing, crushing Castiel to his chest, arms tight around his shoulders, squeezing squeezing if only to convince himself that this is real, he’s here, he’s alive, he’s here. It takes a breath for Cas to hug back, but he does, seemingly content to stay there forever which—sure, but no, because Dean reaches up with one stupid, shaking hand to cradle the back of Cas’s skull, and then he pulls away with just enough space to look into those dumb, gorgeous, blue eyes and—

It isn’t a single kiss.

Sure, there’s the first one; hard and dry and desperate. Clinging. He’s calling Cas an asshole and an idiot and saying shit like don’t you ever do that again. And they keep kissing, because now that Dean’s started, he can’t stop; he wants to kiss this man until he gets fucking stubble burn and then kiss him some more. Wants to take him out on a date. Wants to take him to bed.

“How could you—after everything—”

Cas twists his fingers into Dean’s overshirt.

“I—Cas, I—”

Cas nods against his mouth.

And then Dean’s gay traffic jam becomes decidedly un-stuck.

He wrenches away, hands pressing to Cas’s chest when he tries to follow. He’s gorgeous like this; disheveled and flushed to hell, and Dean spares a moment to be embarrassed for them both when Cas drifts forward again like he just can’t help himself. Dean’s fingers drift up to press against his reddened mouth. “You’re oblivious,” he breathes. His hand moves to trace the line of his brow, the apple of his cheek. Cas watches him raptly, caught somewhere between elation and awe. Dean thumbs the bolt of his jaw. “You need to pay better attention.”

Cas clutches at his wrist. “Dean—”

“How could you ever think I didn’t love you?”

Cas flounders, mouthing moving like a fish out of water. “I-I’ll endeavor to do better in the future,” he says. Swallows thickly. Watches as Dean drifts close and brushes their mouths together in an impression of a kiss, something vulnerable and delicate and fucking terrifying.

“…Good,” Dean says. “I—I’ll do the same.”

Been a bad mental day but I smiled and plowed through, and I don't think sleep will be my friend tonight but I can hope.

There's nothing specific that I can pinpoint causing this, it's world problems anxiety I guess...feeling too small to impact the big issues.

I'm all about small random acts of kindness making my little pocket of the world and the people in it happier, but the big world problems....they crush me.

This happens a lot with me and it sucks because there's not really anything to help shut my brain off, even medication has its safe limits.

I'm getting better at focusing on what I can control vs what I can't, but again....it's difficult to shut the world out and still stay informed.

I dunno....thanks for reading my rambling.

Not diagnosing a child doesn't mean they won't notice they're different. It just means that instead of thinking "I'm struggling because I have autism/adhd/anxiety/depression/schizophrenia", they will just conclude that they are struggling because they are stupid, weak, annoying, unlovable, etc.

I think the internet as a whole needs to ask themselves one simple question when they see a video.

Why was the camera filming.

There are so many videos that seem real, but when you realize the camera was already filming with a great angle, you can see that it's all staged.

Yes, there are dash cams, security footage, people accidentally filming real things happening. But so many are just staged!! And no one in the notes takes the camera preparation into consideration!

This is 2024, you need to know how to spot bots lying to you, but also humans lying to you.

David Tennant pissing off the Prime Minister bc he told government officials to stfu over their anti-trans bigotry and Michael Sheen literally poisoning himself investigating corporations dumping toxic chemicals in underprivileged areas is NOT the energy I expected from 2024 but oh man am I here for it.

[dmsilvisart]

not to be controversial bc I know this is like…not in line with shifting opinions on fanfic comment culture but if there’s a glaring typo in my work I will NOT be offended by pointing it out. if ao3 fucks up the formatting…I will also not be offended by having this pointed out…

‘looking forward to the next update’ and ‘I hope you update soon!’ are different vibes than a demand, and should be read in good faith because a reader is finding their way to tell you how much they love it. I will not be mad at this.

‘I don’t usually like this ship but this fic made me feel something’ is also incredibly high praise. I’m not going to get mad at this.

even ‘I love this fic but I’m curious about why you made [x] choice’ is just another way a reader is engaging in and putting thought into your work.

I just feel like a lot of authors take any comment that’s not perfectly articulated glowing praise in the exact manner they’re hoping to receive it in bad faith.

fic engagement has been dropping across the board over the last several years, and yes it’s frustrating but it isn’t as though I can’t see how it happens. comment anxiety can be a real thing. the last thing anyone wants to do is offend an author they love, and that means sometimes people default to silence.

idk where I’m going with this I guess aside from saying unless a comment is outright attacking me I’m never going to get mad at it, and I think a lot of authors should feel the same way. ESPECIALLY TYPOS PLZ GOD POINT OUT MY TYPOS.
