Its been a rough day and I need Immortal Life to let me romance Xie Wentian so bad. I have given this man 10,000 cups of tea, being roommates isn't enough.

If you're thinking of getting an XP pen AC18 stand for an XP pen Artist Pro 16, maybe reconsider? Like it's a really nice stand, and very very sturdy... But the ledge it sits on? Sharp as razors and just where your wrist will rub against it if not nearly vertical. I'm gonna buy some foam pencil cozies and cut a slot on them to cover the edge, but I'd rather not?

Edit: I have found a material that would fit PERFECTLY if I can get my hands on some I'll def make custom edge covers.

yeah nah ive not posted an update, because the tablet was being replaced, but its here now, i just gotta wait for the stand (should be here on monday) since drawing with it flat distorts the colours im seeing, and id rather do a nice job.

As a small expression of how detailed this whole thing has been, I've been meticulously rendering all manner of wood and such. I've hidden the layers with Feng Xin and a lot of decorative things in various states of finish. But I've been doing my best.

[kirstenly]

i know i said id probably be done that art in like 1 more drawing session, but i went a bit hard on things and wound up spending 2 hours detailing a fence in the mostly obscured distance. im very proud of how the setting is looking. it isnt just Feng Xin sitting on a blank canvas, and im sure you guys will like it <3

[kirstenly]

are yall ready to witness a very slutty bard Feng Xin? cause thats what im working on drawing. it should be done in the next drawing session i engage in. but be ready for it!

[kirstenly]

i hate when i see my younger cat beg to get groomed by my older cat, and when hes done he tilts his head downward to ask to be groomed back and shes like "lol nah" and leaves. it breaks my heart. my poor boy is trying so hard to be good. its okay buddy I'll brush you and use cat wipes to clean you up a little. its not the same but I love you and you deserve to feel loved and clean.

I did a drawing of my and my friend Chief playin pokemon together, surrounded by out fav pokemon, and fav snacks and posters from our fav bands.

[kirstenly]

I love when my cat appreciation post goes semi-viral again and I get like 10+ cat stories and people talkin about how much their cat means to them. It's a beautiful thing to wake up to. Hundreds of people finding joy and love in the friendship they share with a very small predator that lives with them.

Another surrogate, for @sozosnipes , featuring Azas Bhatta, their drow wizard! He was a massive delight to draw and I had a lot of fun experimenting with the lines here, props to anyone who may be able to guess what was I inspired by for the lineart's hatching~

My fucking graphics card broke again.. they just replaced it and this one only ran for a bit less than a month before the fan blades snapped off while trying to vibe with my dinosaur game... I just want things to go smoothly in my life...

[kirstenly]

Really wish my cats wouldn't bug me while I'm on the toilet experiencing the horrors of the human condition...

Every time I see the word "unionized" my brain goes "UN-IONIZED???" first before it reminds me that "union-ized" is a word

And I hope when you think of me years down the line You can’t find one good thing to say And I’d hope that if I found the strength to walk out You’d stay the hell out of my way I am drowning There is no sign of land You are coming down with me Hand in unlovable hand

I have no idea why I keep insisting on following the Monterey Bay Aquarium, because the ocean gets me so fuckin shaken it's unreal. But here I am, dutifully witnessing bodies of water
