Totally cool if the answer is no, but do you think you’ll ever open color commissions again?
I've actually been thinking about this lately! Once I feel like my colored work process is honed and streamlined enough, I could try opening colored comms again at some point ✦

sorry if this is weird, but i’m just like…so happy for you. i’ve been following you and your art for years and i’ve always admired your skill (you inspired me to dust off my paints and start painting again myself) and i love getting to see you live your best life and be your true self, it’s so wonderful.
Nothing weird about kindness! This was a lovely message - thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and for your kind words. And I'm glad you have found my work inspiring!

I get to be more free as an adult than I ever did as a child and I think more kids need to know that. as a high schooler part of what made my depression so bad was being told over and over again that it was the most carefree time of my life. while I was trapped in an abusive home + amongst bullies at school + in a body that wasn’t right for me. opportunities to be carefree don’t end when you turn 18. you can be more you than ever as an adult and that’s such a gift. I know ‘it can get better’ is an annoying thing to see over and over when you’re as trapped as I was back then. and I know that if you’re still a kid you deserve to be free right this second. but it can and will get better and this is not where life stops being interesting. promise

More of my (they/them) workout and body recomp progress July 2024 vs Today The core area is definitely and by far the most challenging one for me when it comes to body recomposition, but I've made steady progress compared to last summer, where I had already lost +10kg by walking and recently started home bodyweight strength training, such as doing knee push-ups. I started this journey to become healthier, stronger and to feel better in my own skin. Buying my first binder last year was kind of a turning point for me and made me realize even more clearly that the reason why I felt disconnected and uncomfortable was also because of body dysphoria, and being curvier and softer made it a lot worse for me. The weight emphasized all the areas I didn't wish to emphasize, and I felt like the clothes didn't fit in a way that felt right for me at all. I'm really happy with my progress so far, and I no longer feel the need to hide certain areas with loose clothing, not all of the time at least, which has been a big change already!

Philippa Everhart, Lady of Vengeance 🕊️ 🗡️
'Inside her was an anger with a hundred thousand mouths. She fed it daily from her blade, dripping the blood of the wicked over its teeth. Yet by night, every night, it curled upon itself and whined with hunger.'

So so so excited to share this now that it's done!! My bg3 tav, half-drow vengeance paladin, stoic girl, star-gazer, lover of dorky clerics--amazingly captured by @eldrtchmn exactly as I see her in my head.
An incredible artist and a joy to work with <3 thank you x10000

Hey! Thank you so much for your kind words! I haven't shared a detailed weekly routine, but I've basically done a full-body workout 2 times per week at the gym since January, especially focusing on strengthening my upper body. I shared some of my favorite upper body exercises a while back on Bsky, so I'll attach the full post here as well, maybe some of it is useful to you! But I'll also attach this list of exercises I also shared on Bsky back then! (With a few additions) The full Bluesky thread is here My favorite upper body & arm exercises Home Bodyweight: ✦ Push-ups (I started with knee push-ups and did those for months) ✦ Tricep dips (you can use a couch etc) ✦ Planks (Forearm, straight arm, shoulder tap, mountain climber) Gym: ✦ Chest press ✦ Single-arm cable rows ✦ Bicep curls (regular and hammer) ✦ Shoulder press (dumbbells) ✦ Lat pulldown ✦ Upright rows ✦ Pec and Rear fly ✦ Prone IYT arm raises I wish you lots of gains on your journey!

Workout progress, wearing similar clothing May 2024 vs Today In May last year, I had walked for 5 months and lost maybe 10kg, no strength training yet. I still walk for low-impact cardio almost every day, and I have now been training at the gym for 6 months. I used to cover my upper body a lot last summer due to dysphoria, it was my weakest area before strength training and how my clothes fit often didn’t feel comfortable or right. I remember buying some new T-shirts from the masc section and being disappointed on how ill-fitting they looked on me. While I continue to work on my physique, I already feel a lot less dysphoric nowadays. I can even wear sleeveless tops - on some days - and feel rather comfortable, which has been such a big change compared to last summer

Kaamos (they/them)🌿✨ My BG3 spore druid character, I wanted to draw them to practice my coloring style. It's been a while since I did colored work but I just felt like this character and portrait needed to be colored due to their color/character theme✨
