The shop is now open!

If stickers packs sell out over the weekend, they should be restocked early next week. Had a printing error that affected a big chunk of the Rito Village design, but reprints are on their way and hopefully should be here soon 🐦

Me: “I’m kind of burnt out on manga pages. I love them and I’m so very proud of them, but they’re a lot of effort and it makes listening to a podcast I just want to enjoy into a job :(“

Anthony: “There’s maybe three episodes left”

Me: “BUH—but my son??? My babies???? You’re going to steal my children?? Take my favourite hobby away????? Leave me without purpose and meaning??? You’re going to just take me out back and shoot me in the head????????”

Any chance of you hosting another Batfam secret santa this year?

im currently running a MHA secret santa on my sideblog (peep @kacchanot-fucking-deal-with-this ), and alas, it is taking up much of my time... but! I am thinking about hosting a New Years Bang! for Batman/Batfam content where most/all of the work will be posted on ao3 in a collection for the event (and all linked on tumblr too!)

i want to do a soft interest check in the next week or so and then i'll probably make a form for everyone to fill out and sign up!

(if you've never heard of a fandom bang! it's when a bunch of people get together and create a bang in the fandom by mass creating fanart and fanfics!!! they're a fairly traditional event in fandom spaces)

me: dear imp in my brain what can I do to feel fulfilled right now

imp in my brain who mostly says lies: you need to go in a cellar and become a radical zine-maker RIGHT now and nothing else in the world will help you except making black and white scribblescrabble radical zines

me: I have never had an idea for such a zine ever in my life but thanks I guess?

its about grief and its about love and its about how sometimes people arent in your life anymore but thats okay. its about how you cant take loved away. its about how the person you were back then wasnt bad for not knowing what you know now and about how its okay to miss those times even if they sucked a little bit. its about how you and i will always be back then. its about them but its also about us, yknow?

WIP Wednesday

“How do you even know how to do this?”

“I used to have to shave.”

Karlach is standing at the bathroom counter between Astarion’s legs, chin tilted up as he goes across her jaw and cheeks with a straight razor. It’d started as an idle complaint that she always cut herself when she was shaving and Astarion wouldn’t hear of anything hurting his precious Karlach (her words, not his), so he insisted on helping her.

“You’re supposed to not shave,” he tells her, even as he drags the razor through the foam, gliding with the grain on her cheek. “It stimulates growth.”

“Yeah, but it’s fucking itchy,” she gripes, trying hard not to move too much while he’s got a razor close to her face. While Astarion would be elated to suck the blood off of her skin, the entire point of doing this is to keep her from bleeding.

She hasn’t been on testosterone long, but it’s long enough for some of the facial hair to start coming through (what can she say? Her family is hairy).

Astarion chuckles quietly, pulling back to smile and admire his work before moving to her jaw. She’s under the distinct impression that he’s more into this than she is, though she’ll take any excuse to keep him close.

Her hand settles on his thigh, rubbing the meat of it as he grooms her.

“But back to the shaving thing,” she reminds. “I thought elves didn’t grow facial hair.”

It’s rather cute the way he huffs at that, rolling his eyes.

“That’s a myth that high elves spread so that no one would question it. Sure, it’s slower, lighter growth for most, but we can still have facial hair. Admittedly, it’s considered unclean and wild for most to have it, so we shave it off, those of us who care more about appearances.”

“Have you ever thought of growing it out?”

“What? Ew, no. No.”

Karlach tries not to laugh at the way his nose scrunches up and he coils in on himself.

“I look better clean shaven.” But then he pauses, frowns. “It’s not like I can even grow facial hair anymore.”

“You can’t?”

“No.” There’s something stilted in his words and Karlach knows this is a delicate subject. “Vampires are stuck in the place and where they died. My hair was short, my face was clean, as it was and as it will remain. Whatever injuries I sustain, whatever change I make will always revert to how I was when I passed.”

Karlach wants to frown, but she knows moving her face will cause Astarion’s hand to falter. Instead, she rubs her thumb over his thighs and the quirk of his lips tells her that he understands the meaning.

“If you ever want to change things, even for a little while, I can help,” she insists. “I’ll cut your hair every day. I’ll dye it too. Whatever you want.”

There’s something thoughtful in Astarion’s gaze. His eyes flick down to hers and he smiles that small, secret sort of thing that Karlach knows is just for them. And after pulling the razor away, he leans forward, kisses her forehead before finishing the last of her shave.

“I know you would.”

i think i am going to make a pay what you want digital zine this year for people who want to get into making little artist alley knick knacks like keychains and stickers and enamel pins, cuz i get a lot of asks about that and i think it would be nice to put my design skills to the test and have it all in one place! that being said, what kind of questions do y'all have about this stuff that you would want answered? everything from packaging to shipping to the products themselves, what would you guys want in there? keep in mind i have only sold on etsy myself and a couple craft shows, so i can't give much advise about personal storefronts.

please put them in the replies on this post so it's all in one place!

kind of a slow year for art—didn't find any new interests to obsess over 🤷 but i did participate in artfight for the first time, i really worked on my anatomy and colouring process, AND i hit a lot of real life milestones (graduation! hormones! living alone!), so I can't complain too much. happy birthday to me and here's to a new year 🥳

small update:

yayy it seems like there's a fair amount of interest in this!!

I have some other things on my plate currently, but i'm planning to make a more formal announcement post with a rough timeline around the end of the month (w dedicated accounts on twitter/tumblr)

i would really like to make this happen, but i think due to my lack of experience i ought to keep it fairly small? It would be really fun to have it go into print, but i don't feel comfortable promising that right now, without having another mod that has some experience in that area

that being said, if anyone is interested in helping mod in any areas (but particularly printing), please let me know!!

Misc. thoughts:

If it goes into print, all contributors would receive a free zine ofc (i'll pay for this if it doesn't break even lol)

IMO it would be nice for any profits to go to charity (tbd), but im open to feedback

Since someone asked, i would be happy to include writers! personally i kinda like the idea of doing small accompanying illustrations too?

Also if it goes into print, perhaps simple merch options… i love stickers now

In the meantime pls let me know if you have any questions or suggestions :0 thank u for reading!

Not me getting an idea for a four piece sketch project with a band that nobody here knows :'D (yes, it is the Danish Bojan and co. x'D)

It all started with me being inspired to draw this yesterday (the song that inspired the artwork is linked below)

Now I want to draw one for each bandmember with different songs even if they'll do badly :'3
