INKVAT

Rest yourself, they count on your exhaustion. Do not let them have it. Be you.

To each of you,

Be defiant. Do your best. Get in good trouble. Have community. Be weird. Be kinky. Above all, be you and LIVE.

Don’t let the manufactured horrors of this world snuff your human spirit.

Good is the light you bring, damned be the dark they sling.

You are loved.

EXTRA TASTY brushwork here! Goodness this just gave me just the mental kick I needed. Wow

This is just so effin good. Wow wow wow.

Preview of a particularly spicy tease for “Heathens”

Ehehehe. The warmup went well.

I’m definitely cookin with some summer themed shit and made lots of panel thumbs.

But uh… I think these two make the most sense without the insider knowledge into the inner folds of my singular brain wrinkle.

Don’t mind the crunchiness, we’re tryin here.

Turns out coloring is so much more fun, though still frustrating when you can see iridescence via astigmatism and rejection of sobriety.

Fuckin sick. Goodness this is fun.

Also, yeah I’m gonna be fuggin chatty catty here, behold and wonder in bewilderment at what incorrectly medicated ADHD and the green lady have wrought. 👾

If I drew car shit, would you guys like seeing my struggle to render complex machines and brutally beautiful shapes and lines?

An ink can try but dropping a 3D model to work over is perhaps my biggest spear my traditional side has towards digital art.

Every single check flying out of it right now, absolutely. Lol

My pocketbook may as well be a subby service top with how much I’ve been making it put out.

I like cars. Enthusing said cars is an especially expensive hobby.

FINALLY, the big deal at work is done and my mental expenditure is recouped. Aaaaah I wanna draw so much, and I still haven’t talked about the lovely trip to Scotiacon and beyond.

I am terrible at social media, get ready to be bombed with it all.

Will update tomorrow while I have some time to myself. It was a worthwhile and wonderful trip meeting a lot of you and then adventuring across Europe with @tawnytheotter.bsky.social

I am very reinvigorated for the arts.

I’ll be open for them soon!

Been busy getting ready for ScotiaCon and wrapping up work so I can be MIA for the following week.

I’m as excited as I am nervous to experience more of the fandom and escape my prison that is the American Workweek.

Same hat it seems!

I’m hoping to remedy it with a vacation. I’ll have to report back with my findings! UwU

Oh damn does that feeling hit home.

Gotta get you 10ccs of hugs and heavy petting.

Tonight is def one to make thumbnails and let the braincell do whatever it pleases on the canvas.

Oh yeah, def gotta commission you again soon.

taking care of yourself is not "checking out" and stepping away from the news does not mean you don't care. there isn't a whole lot that most of us can do right now, and when there is you'll hear about it even if you're not obsessively doomscrolling. rest now so you can fight the good fight.

Relevant here, I think.

“During the darkest days of the AIDS crisis we buried our friends in the morning, we protested in the afternoon, and we danced all night, and it was the dance that kept us in the fight because it was the dance we were fighting for.” - Dan Savage

Actually, it’s a real shirt!
I came across this while gathering material for practice and I put it on a ref I’ve been needing a use for! It’s been fun to take a loose approach to it.

Thank you! I’m very happy with it so far.

Thank you!
It’s been a blast so far even if my brain is absolutely chugging.

The learning never stops!

Getting better and better with this brush and my color choices.

Work in Progress of leopard in Sony Walkman themed apparel.

Well I do love you guys over here on bsky. I’ve got plenty to show, I made use of the time away to loosen up my general approach.
