Update on that Caves of Qud fan-art I'm working on! Trying to follow the game's color scheme again because it's such a big part of how the game *feels* to me.

I can't be the only one around here that's lowkey obsessed with kpop demon hunters right? >_> it was such a surprise but I think I've rewatched it like five times already and it's still cracking me up with new little details every time! Also this guy though 💙🪴

Hatsune Miku Flipping Off I personally have NO IDEA how I made this one. Like I've only drawn this anime-kinda-style as like portraits and only on traditional art but this... this changes everything. This is still a work-in-progress by the way.

Watch Netflix Devil May Cry Anime and Had a lot of fun. Had some motivation to draw Dante and Mary/Lady. Made a mistake on one of the fingers, oh well….

I think the fox face is right without it looking like a wolf. I've already asked my Discord what would match. I'm curious what you guys think she would look like.

I honestly didn't think there was this many fur colors.

Writing tips

🌟 1. Write the book you want to read. Forget what’s trendy or marketable for a second. What’s the story you’d stay up until 3 AM reading? Write that. Your passion will bleed through the pages and connect with readers.

🌟 2. Don’t stress about perfection in the first draft. Your first draft is meant to be messy. It’s a skeleton, not the final product. “Write drunk, edit sober” doesn’t have to be literal, but the spirit of it? Spot on.

🌟 3. Characters > Plot. A thrilling plot is great, but readers stay for the characters. Give them depth, flaws, quirks, and motivations. Bonus tip: think about how your characters would react to situations outside the story—it makes them feel real.

🌟 4. Dialogue is a tool, not a transcript. In real life, we say “uh” and “like” all the time. On paper? Not so much. Make your dialogue snappy, purposeful, and reflective of your character’s personality. Pro tip: read it out loud to catch anything awkward.

🌟 5. Show and tell. You’ve heard the rule: show, don’t tell. But balance is key. Sometimes you need to show the sparkle of a frost-covered window, and sometimes you need to just say, “It was cold.”

🌟 6. Create a vibe. Want your book to feel like a dark fairytale, a sunlit romance, or a gritty thriller? Build that atmosphere with sensory details, imagery, and themes. Think of your story as a moodboard.

🌟 7. Let yourself write “bad” scenes. Not every chapter needs to be Pulitzer-worthy. Let bad writing exist. Sometimes, a rough scene holds the key to something brilliant when you edit.

🌟 8. Take breaks. Stuck? Walk, shower, nap, journal, or daydream. Creativity thrives when your brain has time to breathe. (Yes, scrolling Tumblr counts as a break. No, it doesn’t count as writing.)

🌟 9. Stop comparing yourself to other writers. Everyone’s process is different. Maybe you draft in chaos and revise into beauty, or maybe you’re methodical from start to finish. Both are valid. The only thing that matters? You keep going.

🌟 10. Celebrate the small wins. Wrote 100 words? That’s 100 more than you had yesterday. Finished a chapter? Incredible. Writing is hard, and every step forward is worth celebrating. <3

✨ Bonus Tip: Find your people. Writing can be lonely, but it doesn’t have to be. Share your progress, rant about your characters, and hype each other up.
