well........lol........updates? i guess?

So. I know I've pretty much dropped off the face of the planet on this account and then attempted to come back a couple of times and then absolutely failed to be active. No guarantees this time either LOL. But I figured I'd at least put up a post to explain what the hell I've been doing for the past.....I don't know actually....year maybe? Year and a half? Time is fake.

Anyway here's the update overview:

I finished Tea Cow

I queried Tea Cow and it kicked my ass

I'm working on a new thing lol

More detail under the cut if you're curious, haha! But the moral of the story here is, I'm incredibly grateful to anyone who's still around here, and hope I can stay active enough that I can reconnect with y'all and/or make new friends~

Tea Cow is done! Yeah. I actually finished it LOL. Multiple times. It's had three drafts now. I had it beta read multiple times (thank you to the lovely people I found on here who volunteered to read it—I owe y'all my life!) and edited it a bunch of times. It's basically unrecognizable from the original draft, but much stronger, and I'm very proud of it.

I queried Tea Cow! It's been about ~3 months since I started querying at the end of May. I received a couple requests which was very exciting, but ultimately most agents passed. I'm waiting for some responses to still come in, but ultimately I think I'm going to have to shelve this project for now—if just for my sanity. But I'm still very proud of it!

I'm working on a new WIP, with the tentative moniker AppleJuice. I have no idea if I'm going to stick to it, but it's helping me through this tail end of the querying process and making it a little bit more bearable to get through all these rejections. Partly why I'm trying to revive this account is I'm hoping to post more of this project once I'm farther along!

I have no idea if any of my mutuals are still around on here, and I've unfortunately completely lost track of my tag list, so I'm sort of considering this a fresh start (think that time that I restarted 3ish years ago with Tea Cow, lmao). I hope if anyone is still here, or if anyone is interested, y'all can swing by and say hi :)

Simply wanted to draw a Jon. It's been a while. And it felt wrong not to add a Martin. Cow-mug or cat-mug? ----------------------------- image description: Two digital potraits of Jonathan Sims ex-archivist and his Martin K. Blackwood painted in a dynamic mixture of rough, broad and thin, squiggly brush strokes. The first images shows Jon's head and upper body, sitting and reading a paperback book. His long black, salt and pepper hair is gathered in a loose knot at the back of his neck. The black beard on his jawline, pointy chin and upper lip is not very dense. Small round scars pepper the brown skin of his face, neckand the back of his visible hand. Additional there is a thick pink-white-ish line stretching across his pronounced Adam's apple. He wears a thick woolen cardigan in a deep green and rectangular glasses through which he gazed with his large, heavy lidded eyes not directly at the book in his hand, but just over the pages at something else to the left. His expression is not fully open and happy, but certainly unguarded and soft. In the shadow of the book cover which has the symbol of a green eye on his, one can make out a black ring on the middle of his left hand. Martin is depicted as a light-skinned, big, broad man with a round face and tousled, ash-blond hair. He too wears glasses, although their frames a big and much rounder than Jon's. He wears a green-blue pullover and holds two mugs in his hands, both steaming with hot tea. One mug features the cartoony face of a cat, half hidden behind the tea string and paper bit on those. The other mug has a shaggy Scottish highland cow on it and the painful pun "Cow are you?" There are soft dimples in Martin's round cheeks as he smirks mirthfully down to his right.

thinking about Jonathan "I dont want to become a mystery" Sims who's only legacy is a disembodied voice enacting the one thing that brought forth their inhumanity, and a title thrust upon them that doesn't care for the person it has marked and maligned in favour of voyeuristic hubris.

Call for Beta Readers: The Composition of Us

Hello everyone!!! I'm so excited to announce that my adult contemporary book that explores aromanticism, asexuality, and chronic illness (103k words, 2nd draft) is ready for beta readers! If you've been following me for a while, you might know this project as tea cow, or TCOU.

In case you need a refresher or you're new here, this is my elevator pitch:

"Ruby Wang is a career woman determined to keep her work first priority. However, after a particularly bad bout of dizziness, she loses her job and begrudgingly returns to her hometown, only to find herself pulled into the messy love life of her childhood best friend. The Composition of Us uses the building blocks of traditional romance to explore aromantic & asexual identity, friendship, family, and chronic illness."

I'm currently looking for up to 5 beta readers who can read through my manuscript and offer me feedback by Sunday, April 30, 2023, with some flexibility if needed. I will be choosing readers on March 19, 2023 and then accepting additional readers if needed on a rolling basis thereafter.

If you're interested, please fill out this form here!

The form contains additional details about my expectations and information about potential compensation/perks :)

Signal boosting would be hugely appreciated!! If you want to learn more about tea cow, such as its origins, feel free to check out my intro post here.

Tea Time (23)

Left: Yuna (oc belongs to DioramosTwT on DeviantArt)

Right: Madeline Rivera (dragon girl oc)

Note: I’ve started this months ago and have currently drawn both ocs to a large extent. However, I’m far from finished and may spend a couple more months to work on it.

Sleeves are the bane of my existence.

Along with many other things in my drawing experience.

The main issue however is the fact that the piece is made with numerous layers that hold artwork pieces that are specifically drawn to fit the proportions.

If I needed to move one oc, I’d have to carefully move the entire jigsaw puzzle, piece by piece.

The whole thing started because I’ve wanted to challenge myself and I’ve wanted to draw someone’s oc in pixel art.

Canvas size: 120 x 120 pixels

............i'm back, kinda.

It's been an Interesting few months, starting a new job and dealing with some other personal things (some of which are still ongoing), BUT. I want to slowly ease my way back onto Tumblr because, drumroll.....

My adult contemporary book, The Composition of Us, also known (mainly by me) as tea cow, is ready for beta readers!!

Timeline-wise, I'm looking at just a few days to at most a week before I put up the official call.

If you already know you'd like to beta read, feel free to DM me and I'll make sure to tag you in the official call, but as of right now, I'm just going to get back into reblogging things and checking this blog more regularly.

Thank you to everyone who has continued to tag me and send me things throughout my break; I love y'all!!! I probably won't respond to most of what was sent to me during the break, but just know that I love and appreciate every one of you!

Keep an eye out if you're interested in beta reading ;)
