#coiled around

A beautiful commission I got from @shawncoper1 ! (Note: their commissions are not open to the general public right now.)

It's baby naga Sun and Moon, soon after hatching! These boys were cuddle bugs. They stuck together like glue for most of their early life. Squishy little babies so nice to hold!

I love this. I have a hognose naga character in Coiled Around planned (for the way future) and y/n is always confused when they try to dig in their blanket. XD

Itchy snoot.

"Never be Alone"

Started on the sixth of January and planned to be finished on the fourteenth, but landed up not doing that. Somewhere on the sixteenth, I basically said "haha whoops" and pumped out twenty panels. According to Procreate, it took 15 hours and 37 minutes to finish Panels 1-10; 27 hours and 15 minutes on Panels 11-20; and 34 hours and 8 minutes for Panels 21-30.

In total, I have no idea. I just know it took some serious time.

Unlike with She's Gone, I wrote a script. Well, all I wrote was dialogue and some minor actions for Panels 5-23, though lines were changed "in post." Everything else was by the seat of my pants. However, I can say for sure that I was planning on ending it with N being hopeful, but all I had room for was him crying. He cannot catch a break.

(also to those who suspected uzi was still in there, guess you were right all along.)

Will you finish "Coiled around the fine line of love and fear" or is it abandoned?

I have gotten multiple of these asks in my inbox in quick succession, possibly from the same person, and I am very sick of it at this point because I have answered this question before many times:

NO IT IS NOT ABANDONED.

I am about to disallow all anon asks because these are the only ones I get anymore. Do you guys understand what is the fastest way to discourage a writer from ever touching their fic again? Constantly bombarding them about when they will update or if it's abandoned.

First off, I have real life stuff going on. I got a full-time job recently - that is why my updates slowed down so much. And even then, I don't need to explain myself for when updates don't happen quickly. I'm putting them out there for free. I don't set a schedule for them because, simply put, I can only write so often. I'm not gonna sacrifice my mental health by making writing, something I consider a fun pastime, into a second job.

Second off, as I have stated multiple times, I will make a post if I am putting a fic to rest officially. I have no plans for that any time soon - not even for 404. I am just taking my time with all of them so I don't burn myself out in this fandom.

I love all my readers. I appreciate all the attention people give my fics and how excited they are to see a new update, but you cannot come into my ask box constantly and make me feel guilty about the status of my fics. I will be deleting all of the other asks about this topic and will not answer any more relating to this topic.

My fics will be updated when I can update them. Both isekai and coiled are over halfway done. Be patient and don't badger writers who are putting out work for free.

Hello!! I wanted to know if the silly dudes from ur naga fanfic have a ref sheet or sumthing

Hi! For my naga boys, I don't have an official reference for them, but my friends have very kindly made a lot of amazing art for them that gives a general design!

This is the best color ref by the lovely @sinnabee !

My friend @thedemonscrawler made some of the best body refs (and damn those details)!

@suokumi also made some incredible color art!

This adorable baby art was one of the first by @shawncoper1 !

And then my good friend @craykaycee has some amazing art showing how the nagas interact with y/n!

what happens when a scorpion falls for a snake?

[crazedauthor]

Hehehe! It's my snakey boys! My sweet little angels! They're so cuddly and silly and full of sadness for right now, but we will fix that! These noodles will have so many kisses and hugs once I'm done with them!

Suooooooo! Your art is always stunning! I love how bright these colors are and you made Moon's tail such a pretty night sky of stars!!!

snek babieeees, love them and their bond, the kind of sibling dynamic you could actually wish for (but moon pls get your head out of your cloaca and stop overthinking things) Naga bois from CAtFLBLaF by @crazedauthor ~

coilhead nutcracker staring contest (nutcracker is unconvinced that coil is real because they only see movement?) thinking masked got a sounboard or something

I had a little too much fun with this one thanks for this request.

[makerandbean]

oh my gosh oh my gosh i REALLY did not like the way this was spinning up during plying and thought i’d made a terrible mistake but! look at it!! gorgeous. exactly what i was going for. 10/10 past me on your decision making.

2ply fractal spun BFL braid from Sealy MacWheely (in “robin”, i think). might have to get another couple of these because i am absolutely desperate for a full vest in this colour…

plus bonus “i had some left over on one bobbin” chain ply:

BUTTERS THESE ARE ALL SO GOOD!!! I CAN'T HANDLE JUST HOW BEAUTIFUL THESE ARE!!! THE POSES! THE ANGLES! THE COLORS, ESPECIALLY WITH NAGA MOON! JRNDJDJDJSJSKSBSH

I am very very not normal about it... You made naga Moon so pretty! Just chilling in the hot springs while his scales glitter! Aaaaahhh, I want to eat all this art up!!

Soooooo Magma released all their previously paid brushes for free >u>;;;

Yassified Eclipse is from last week! Art wasn't really happening for me, but I at least got them drawn.

And then this week we got @venomous-qwille's Clip (one day I will draw Sol, it's gonna happen) and @crazedauthor's naga!Moon to go with the Sun I drew a bit ago
