ARTIST OF THE WEEK

The aotw for this weekend is the lovely @illustoryart whose affirmation deck most of us have, and if you haven't seen their incredibly detailed art around on your dash, today you will <3 They agreed to answer a few questions for me-

Which do you use to draw (app/digital or traditional)?

I used to draw more traditional art, but most of my OFMD fanarts are made in Procreate.

Fave brushes/pencils/mediums?

I have fave watercolor pencils, Caran D'Ache Supracolor Soft ❤️

Your favourite piece you've drawn?

That's a tough question, because it's not a constant. But I'm really proud of my OFMD Affirmation Deck :з

Who's harder to draw: Ed or Stede?

For me it's Stede (too beautiful to be captured in drawing 😍)

One essential tip for beginner artists?

Draw every day and don't be ashamed to use references. It's okay to learn from photos and other artists' works. Just make sure your refs are not AI generated 😅

Why OFMD? 🥹

Because it's a perfect combination of queer pirates, historical inaccuracies, found family trope, comedy, romance and drama 💔

Oh, and absolutely perfect cast and crew! ❤️‍🔥

[santans-cheerleader]

@illustoryart They are wonderful, thank you! And the short note from you resonates with me greatly.

I already picked a few cards and I'm closing out the year with them. It was difficult time, but also full of beautiful little moments. Also, thanks to GO fandom :)

[ev-belknap]

It’s release day! 🎉

If you like found family, magical idiots sharing a house, and queer normative books, you might like this one 👀

Available on Amazon as a paperback and ebook, and on Kobo as ebook.

I received mine yesterday! And as grief has caught up with me and a persistent headcold and headache has me in its claws, opening the box hit me hard, too

@illustoryart’s ineffable affirmation cards arrived!

Also I was crying cuz reasons and the first card kinda wrecked me.

[ofmdlovelyletters]

a lovely letter for illustoryart who produces the sweetest art across so many fandoms, but their ofmd work is some of my absolute favourite

== Love Notes ==

Hey lovelies! First of all! Happy S2 Anniversary!

I know this is a day late, sorry about that! There's been a lot of chatter over some of the things that David said yesterday-- some folks took it as OFMD was not getting an s3, some people took it as still quite hopeful! I gotta say, I'm loving how much it's given us all something to focus on again. We get to celebrate OFMD-- we get to speculate. I realize it's not a "hey s3 is happening!" but it's hopeful, and what is life without hope? It's kraken era, it's gravy basket, and HOPE is what pulls us OUT of those places! So go out and clown/honk and celebrate if you want to! Take every tweet from David as a good thing! If you don't want to-- that's okay too! But with so many months of "hey we've reached the end of the road" looming over us, it feels like a good thing to think there's going to "most if not all of us would do it again in a heartbeat". This fandom wears hope well, at least I think so. Alright, I'm already late so I'm gonna shush. I hope you all had a lovely anniversary, and the beginning of this week treats you with nothing but kindness lovelies. Take care of yourselves <3

[whitecat901]

Thanks @illustoryart 💜💜💜

[lickthecowhappy]

@illustoryart 's affirmation deck is haunted. I always get exactly the one I need.

[illustoryart]

Every night in the old town

starry darkness creeps on the walls

looks at you with thousand eyes

runs the streets with stray cats

borrows homeless shadows

howls at the moon with werewolves

stands right behind your back.

[lumiilys]

Sticker haul arrived to brighten my shitty day!! Look at all these lovelies from @eddiepeaches @smolbus @illustoryart @emcolbs & @unicorndeathrace
