He/they, queer, trans. My favorite genres are fantasy, romance, mystery, and erotica - hopefully all at once :3 I mostly write, doodle, and study game dev. Some projects are at https://augustrosewood.itch.io/ or https://archiveofourown.org/users/Eizwein/
never have i felt more personally attacked by a post
Happy new year to all the artists who haven't had time, energy, passion, or any other needed resource to draw enough personal stuff to join end-of-the-year memes in 2025. May we find more of all of the above in 2026, as well as compassion for ourselves if we don't!
Illustration inspired by the pairing Hansry from Kingdom Come Deliverance, but make it the hand flex scene from 2005's Pride and Prejudice
A digital illustration inspired by Disco Elysium. Kim and Harry play a board game that is the hanged man case: all the pieces are key players in the case.
A digital illustration inspired by the EXU trio from Critical Role. Fearne, Orym, and Dorian lie down in a grassy field. Fearne is laughing, Orym has his eyes closed in content, and Dorian looks at Orym fondly.
A digital illustration inspired by my trans man paladin Sir Alder. He stands nude in a green forest at night. He holds a sword in one hand and a branch of alder in the other. He wears a laurel crown of victory.
it's my birthday today! may i present thee with some of my fave arts to share ๐๐๐
Thinking about writing instead of writingโฆ
Shit
An illustration of various colorful mushrooms and fungi arranged in a circle. Beige-colored text wrapped around it reads โCelebrate Fungal Biodiversityโ. They are illustrated on an earthy matcha green background.
Celebrate Fungal Biodiversity! ๐
hi, cis folks!
this week, with some democrat votes, 2 anti-trans bills passed the house. one bans medicaid funds for trans youth care, the other proposes jail time for providers.
they haven't passed the senate, but dems may need convincing to vote no on both.
tap into the ๐งตfor a quick action.
Luckily given their immortal uncle and noble relatives theyโre pretty well off even before their day job, anyway lol
they got injured all their friends and folks they had helped nearby were like โnope weโre taking care of thisโ as best they could.
I actually do have a phantom thief type character but they steal dangerous magic artifacts for safety, not profit.
The reason Sol is a famous adventurer who also works for the organization that tracks magic/artifacts and keeps an eye on enchanted ruins is because he needed more money for transition than he was willing to ask from his family.
Laurelโฆ would probably try to just find more work as well but when
โWe only used ai for the concepts so itโs okโ is such a stupid argument, even if you donโt care about the ethics
โdonโt worry, I didnโt build this house out of trash, just the foundation!โ
Yeah Iโm not buying that house.
A lot of companies seem to be under the impression that we only care if gAI was used in the final product and using it for concept art/placeholder art is ok.
gAl is poison that should be nowhere near any creative process. Not a single asset. Not a single placeholder sign.
Give no inch.

Reposting with alt text because I felt it too important no to share
Clair Obscurโs now confirmed Gen-AI usage during the development process has caused their IGA debut and GOTY wins to be retracted.
the trouble with writing is that itโsย literally always easierย to just lie facedown on your floor and make inarticulate noises
The list is a mile long, but I guess โhappy transmasc smutโ covers most of it lol
Also fantasy murder mysteriesโฆ
Given Mozilla's leadership has decided they should sail directly into the iceberg, here's an alternative to those who use Firefox.
Even though the Golden Ratio is mathematical beauty, doesn't mean your back needs to be shaped as such. Straighten up!
Lads can we stop with the "hahahaha trans men can go and shock all the ladies with their beardy muscley-ness" whenever trans women are banned from something.
1. Cos the EHRC "guidance" literally said we can't use the ladies' if we are masculine-appearing but can't use the gents' either! /1
autocorrect strikes again... good thing I don't do my writing on my phone >.>
Yes! :D
friendly reminder that you didn't waste your year. any moments of happiness or comfort. any small accomplishments, they all matter. this has been a really hard year, and simply surviving is something to be proud of.
Hate when Iโm thousands of words into a story and still second guessing the characters namesโฆ maybe Iโll look at the name lists again :/

This was surpassingly hard, I donโt use a lot of emoji lol (pretend I found an enby flag for Laurel)

Shrine of Green for Draw Steel.
AD: Grace Cheung
Green is always such a tricky color to work with, and I am happy that Grace trusted me to use it well and create the mood of this place. ๐
If youโre an artists and you are currently creating by yourself know that, in this current climate, you are actively rebelling, and that Iโm proud of you for that ๐ซ
