I am such a huge horse nerd and I apologize. :( But I’m really tired of seeing girths that are halfway down a horse’s stomach. This may not be interesting to anyone who is not me, but I like to draw fancy saddles and ridiculously long shanks on bits. Also, horses are the only animal I can draw, so I take advantage of that.

I hope this helps some frustrated non-horsey artists in at least some small way. Remember, when in doubt, add some buckles and some rings. :)

im so mad so heres some rage sketching sorry

context of the art - it's just a scene from my book where the MC, Rowyn, is fighting the BBEG of the story. He's a gay ace-spectrum dragonshifter who can't control when he shifts, has a stutter. Currently my comfort character so I sketch him alot

You've heard of cuddling for warmth, you've heard of cuddling to stop bad dreams, now get ready for: cuddling so you have sth to hold and don't curl up like a shrimp in the night making your chest hurt in the morning

ICE raids are starting on Tuesday in Chicago.

Yell “ICE” and “LA MIGRA” to disrupt them. Notify people and use your privilege as a citizen to make ICE’s job as difficult as possible.

Fascism has been here. It’s just loud now. Time to be loud too.

Small little update: I've created a Redbubble account! Thank you for all the support I've been getting. It's honestly crazy getting such positive reactions to stuff I love to make :D Link to Jaybestuff's Redbubble (There's nothing yet, but next week there will be lots of stickers and pins!) (I will make an Etsy account later, but this will do in the mean time :)

Welcome to tumblr. There is no algorithm, tag only what's relevant if you want to it work. You can swear, say "kill", "sex" and so on. We hate AI here, there's no such thing as influencers on this platform - only random blogs with weird gimmicks. Celebs here usually just chill or hide between regular people. Before you fight someone about something - google to see if you're missing an in-joke. Enjoy your stay. And change your icon unless you want people to assume you're a bot.

Side Note To Fan Fic Authors

Here’s the thing.

I read a lot of scripts.  A lot.  From professionals to aspiring writers to complete newbies.  Features and pilots.  Specs and treatments.

And 8 times out of 10 the fan fic that I’ve read over the last, oh, 15 years is leagues better than this stuff.  It’s more inspired.  It’s more compelling.  It’s genre bending and creative and heartfelt.  It’s well-paced and intense and funny and sexy and meaningful.  It’s smart and thoughtful and good.  It’s novel-quality.  Better than, sometimes.

Rare is the script I don’t want to put down, but how often have we stayed up until 3am to get to the last chapter of a 100k fic? And it’s not even a fan fic author’s day job.  This is what they do on the side.  In their spare time.  For free.

So my point is, fan fic authors, you’re good.  You’re good writers and great storytellers.  I know it doesn’t always feel like it, especially if you’re one of the authors who’s not a BNF and doesn’t get the notes/hits that a few do.  And  because some people still view fic as “not real writing.” You guys know the shit that gets made into movies.  You’re better than that.  So be better than that.  If writing is what you think want to do, then just know you’re already doing it.   You’ve already started.

And you’re more talented than you might think.
