WitchHazel

Here’s some of the recent Salamanders I’ve been working on for Narrative!! Sorry for disappearing for a bit I’ve been off the grid lately 😆

I painted my version of Lady Aurelia Malys 😊🤍💚

I FINISHED ANGRON!!!

Thank you!!!

LMAO would you believe that there have been people who have done that 😭😭

Redid the blood on the ground and it looks muchhhh better

Working on the base for my angron over the weekend and random tangential thoughts but I’m so happy to have art back in my life in an positive way again. My day job being in art and game dev combined with shitty art school burnout really killed digital art as a hobby for me, painting is so peaceful ☺️

First day of the two month NYO painting grind down, finally working on the big guy !!

Thank you!! ☺️

I have exactly two months to finish my 40K army in time for NYO, I really think I could win best painted army but I have to grind sooooo hard before then. I’ve never wanted something more then I want a supermajor painting trophy, I would cry 🥹

More 40K models from a hobby night with friends!!

Yeah I definitely agree, I joke about it with my younger trans friends I’ve made recently but legitimately there was so many things I learned vicariously through them that were just like honestly horrible transphobic 4chan lingo I couldn’t parse before they explained it to me LOL

I tried talking to him and asking him what was up, genuinely felt bad for him specifically but also it’s such a tight space already please don’t make me have to literally grind my ass on you just to squeeze past the table and move my little plastic army men 😭😭

The 2nd guy last night was probably harmless, I think he was probably having a fit because he stood directly behind me but was muttering under his breath and talking to himself a lot, after about an hour an employee came to talk to him as well but it makes focusing so hard for me with adhd

He finally worked up the courage to say something and he only talked to me and started asking really personal questions while I was trying to play 40k and I was like dude please get the hint 😭

The first time I went with my girlfriend and we both usually like to get really dressed up when we play since we usually go out for dinner and drinks after, some guy just walked in and then proceeded to stand directly behind me for AN HOUR without saying anything 😭

I really like my local dnd/tabletop scene and store the actual regulars there are all queer and extremely sweet but it’s so upsetting how the last two times I’ve gone there’s been some random guy making me uncomfortable 😭 Twice in a ROW I’ve had to ask an employee to talk to a man being creepy

Also I feel like I have to add the disclaimer that you shouldn’t ever view your friends as some kind of collection of different backgrounds to collect and if that is your take away it kind of speaks to what I’m trying to say in the first place!! Expand your circle and learn from others it helps sm

Keeping to my irl trans and female community instead of some of the unfortunate mental struggles with dysphoria and thoughts trans femmes experience through online circles that may not be healthy for them, but they go to anyways since it feels like their only safe space.

99% of other women’s voices. I was pretty lucky that a majority of my friends were already women and I feel like I unlearned a lot of toxic internalized thoughts as well as transitioned much happier all those years ago then a lot of the twitter/social media trans women I see since I was just

This is kind of a complicated subject to touch on in the form of a limited word count tweet but I think it’s really important for other trans women to have cis women friends as well. It’s something I notice a lot of younger trans women struggling with and I think it’s unhealthy to essentially ignore

Yeah its really sad 😭 it’s probably a lot to do with availability and stuff too, I remember a lot of people growing up didn’t even have a PC, I used to ask my parents to get a pass to those little hotel pc centers so I could catch up on webcomics, it’s just a very different world now and so quickly

I feel pretty similarly, I think a lot of it comes down to social media and the negativity and ability to slip down horrible rabbit holes because of it. When I think of the bad parts of the internet growing up it was like, accidentally clicking on NSFW flash animations from newgrounds/4chan lol

Thank you so much!! ☺️

I actually really like the separation from “FGC WitchHazel” and just Hazel that I have with bluesky. I think it’s probably the healthiest balance for me of still wanting to interact and talk with my fgc friends who haven’t left twitter and my regular irl posting I do here for people I’m closer with

Finished another terminator while painting with a friend tonight ☺️

Once I get through this last month of paying rent alone, I really wanna start putting time and money into my appearance again. It’s a hobby I miss so much, I will be cute once more by next con season ‼️
