Aaaaaand it's done!!! Alternate cover illustration for The Left Hand of Darkness, by Ursula K. Le Guin. Made as personal project for my portfolio.

I will forever be in love with this book, it has EVERYTHING that I like. I keep coming back to it again and again, and discovering something new every time.

SPOILER ALERT: The latest mind blow was that Estraven's fate is suggested right in the first chapter… You know, the keystone? How it's sealed into the arch of the gate? Hm-hm???? END OF SPOILER

(No, I'm not normal about this. Thank you Tumblr for worsening my obsession)

PS. Interior illustrations coming soon...

In a bad art block from doing environment studies and reverted to comfort zone for a 1-hr messy paint. Baby Ahsoka from the beginning of TCW. She has grown so much 🥹

An oldie.

Feeling sick and having a migraine. But need to get back to posting before the algorithm puts me in jail.

An anatomy sketch that turned into Maul sketch as was the will of the bloody Force or something. (Read: the artist’s inability at the present stage to see male figure with certain musculature without a Maul filter). Colored and photo edited for more drama. High resolution on my patreon.

Pre-TPM Maul ✨

Just-an-anatomy-study, or how-I-find-my-motivation-to-the-gym 😂

This is my holiday pin-up gift for all the Maul fans out there 😂 ♥️ Luv u all.

Aaand I’m putting him up on Inprnt shop if you wanna grab a fine print. I’m thinking of starting my own shop too, if you are interested in more Dathomir brother stuff 😉 Stay connected. Should be up in January.

If you like my work, consider spreading love this holiday by sharing, tipping, or follow me on Patreon. Everything is appreciated heartily by the artist (✿◡‿◡)

Pamela Anderson choosing to wear no makeup (not “natural” makeup, not a “no-makeup makeup” look, but actually no makeup on her skin) to events and letting her wrinkles and age spots be clearly visible is actually groundbreaking and anyone who paints it as not a big deal, or worse, as somehow an attack on some other group, is a moron

Ao3 does not need an algorithm, you're just lazy

Ao3 does not need a 1-5 star rating system, you just want to bring down authors writing for FREE

Ao3 does not need automatic censorship, it is an archive, therefore anything can be posted

Writing or reading about something illegal does not mean the author nor the reader condones it, if that were true, you could never read a story involving anything negative

Purity culture is ruining fan culture and you all are fucking annoying

a place you don't get to leave

[herblinz]

One of the best stories I ever read as a child was a fantasy novel by some local dude selling books out of a suitcase on the sidewalk downtown, and I don't remember what it was called or who the author was, and it's so obscure that no matter how many elements I remember, I've never been able to find it through web searches. I only vaguely remember the story - it was a love story, something about a tower on an island and two characters on a quest to discover their forgotten past. They fall in love and at the end the only way to stay together is to allow themselves to forget again, and you realize that they're right where they started, in the exact same tower, and they're doomed to go on this same quest over and over again, never completed, but that also means they'll fall in love over and over again forever. And I remember how that ending blew up my little child brain into a million pieces.

I don't know what happened to the book, and I'll probably never read it again, but if you're somewhere out there and you were once selling fantasy novels from a suitcase on the sidewalk in the suburbs of Chicago, and if you ever felt like your writing never meant anything or went anywhere except a hundred copies you had printed yourself and sold for almost nothing, please know that your story buried itself in my young brain and has probably shaped my worldview in ways even I don't understand.
