#Onward & Upward

After drawing that pose study, I had this nagging feeling that I’d tried to draw something similar to it before — specifically, a purple/pink scene with one character leaning over another on a bed (and I distinctly remembered struggling so much that I abandoned the drawing partway through)

So I went looking through my files, and yup! It was from back in 2021, a little before I started posting on here. Comparison between then and now:

But yeh :D It’s cool what three years of practice and (very importantly) using reference can do — sometimes I can get impatient with myself when it comes to improving, so it’s fun to remind myself every now and then that I have been making progress, slowly but surely! Never give up never surrenderrr

sooo bratschool got deleted 🥲 I’m seriously sad about all those years of work being gone. If anyone comes across my old posts, please send them to me! 🩷

thank you to everyone who followed this backup, not having to start entirely from scratch softened the blow a little bit. it’d be great if you’d consider reblogging this to help let people know where to find my new blog! thank you 🩷

(also my new main is @angelpossum)!

✨birthday playlist!✨

it's october! if you're so inclined, please tell me one song you love - every year I make a playlist of all of them and it gets me through the winter. there's always something really special to me about knowing each song on there is important to someone else, and I've found some of my favorite artists through it. thank you thank you thank you!!

(like previous years, I'll make the playlist available on youtube and spotify when it's done!)

I wanted to thank you all for being a fantastic community.

One night in Burbank, California, a friend of mine and I were sitting around a heat lamp at an artist expo when she suddenly went, "You know what'd be cool? Cowboys that rode on pegasi." At the time we laughed about it and brainstormed ideas until finally everyone went to bed. But on the plane back home to the Midwest I started drawing the very first pegasi... and I never really stopped. That was 6ish years ago. Today the Sky Cowboys artbook is funded at 368%!

But what's important here is that I couldn't have done it without all of you - from the likers, rebloggers, askers, and lurkers here on Tumblr, to the SC Discord crowd, to my loyal patrons. All of you banded together and made this project a reality - and not just the book. The whole SC world is alive and well in large part due to all of you <3

So even after the book is printed, signed, and shipped I'll keep Sky Cowboys going. I'm thinkin' a web comic next!

I also wanted to give special thanks to @evergreena, @inkfire-scribe, Starsilver, W0lfPupper, and Britny (the aforementioned friend). May your scarves stay true, sky blue!

Which is what the relationship was always going to be. Next.

The WGA strike has ended with a positive outcome for writers. Neil Gaiman is taking out his Good Omens season 3 post it notes. 8 Days until the gay pirates destroy any remaining braincells that Crowley and Aziraphale have left behind. Today is a good day.

Staring at the ceiling with you, oh, you don't ever say too much. And you don't really read into my melancholia.

[foibles-fables]

hey, I’m published. 😳😳😳 what an unbelievable and humbling way to end to 2023.

[randomluck-ofthe-universe]

always in my mind ❤️

Men, these are the six jump tiers as I understand them.

Love how we’re all just immediately back to shooting out theories and speculation. From 100% logical to the absolute batshit balls to the wall insane.

The BuckTommy spirit is unbreakable.
