Another long-standing WIP I've been wanting to finish. My OC, Veda, on her first trip to the mines <3

[inktr0vert]

I just favored all your Sebastian art on Instagram I know it’s algorithm no no but Sebastian is a comfort character for me so while I’m sorry for all the sudden favorites I needed more of my safe character and of course how you draw him is beautiful

That makes me so happy! I'm so glad my art brought you joy, and Sebastian is an *amazing* comfort character <3 Thanks for the message--it always brightens my day to hear that I brightened some eles's ✨

Made this piece for a friend of her OC. <3 Had a lot of fun playing with their outfit. ✨

I'm posting their IG account for anyone that wants to check out their work!

I just had to say I loooooove how you draw sebastian 😭😍 cannot get enough

Thank you so much! I love drawing him. Writing about him. Outside of my husband (the love of my life), the Sebastian in my head is the only other one that gets my heart racing. My version of Seb is actually based on him <3. Anyways, I am glad my art brings you happiness! ✨

WIP I'm super excited about! They're all super rough, but I don't care-- they all bring me so much joy. <3

[inktr0vert]

He is my favorite escapism <3

[inktr0vert]

This has been sitting in my WIP folder for a shameful amount of time. But, I finished him today! Colored version will be up when it's done <3

Do you think you could draw Sebastian without a cigarette/not smoking? Even if it's just a sketch or doodle

Hello! I do have a decent amount of non-smoking Seb pieces (and a fair amount of him smoking) that I've posted. You may have to dig for them. But! I'm posting a new non-smoking Seb piece right after I reply to you <3

[inktr0vert]

you are my favorite, and i mean FAVORITE, artist that draws sebastian. it makes me so giddy and warm and happy inside and i'm so thankful that i found your blog ahhh <3

keep it up, we love you :)

This very much brightened up my evening! Drawing him also makes me feel giddy and warm and a plethora of other adjectives. Thanks for the art love! I'm glad it brings you joy <3

Just my favorite emo guy taking a smoke break <3

[inktr0vert]

I love drawing her hair <3 And her dress. Just Sandy in general, really.✨

[inktr0vert]

Editing the finished piece now of Sandy, but wanted to upload the sketch <3

Just wanted to let you know how lovely it has been to see your art popping up on Tumblr over the last few days. I'll never forget your Harvey. I loved your art so much I even added a cute dimple to the Harvey I write purely because yours looked so good with one. Truly inspiring!

Sending you lots of good wishes!

Ah, thank you!! I bamfed quite a while ago--couldn't draw or do much else besides continuing to be here. But I'm doing good, and enjoying creating again <3 Oh that's awesome! I definitely see him with cute dimples that accompany his magnificent mustache :D I have a few rough Harvey doodles, and if inspiration hits for those pieces, I shall post them in the future. Thank you for the good wishes <3<3<3 I wish you the same!

Sebastian and Stardew valley saves my life autistic burn out for six months, a voice in my head telling (and showing) me to end it all… then for 12 blissful days while I got started in stardew and chased seb around it all went away

And still does just seeing artwork of him has the same effect I don’t care who he’s with just seeing him makes me happy I’m making a plush of him

Heyo! I definitely get the SaviorSebeastian feels--he's helped me through a lot of shit. I'm sorry the voices in your head have been cruel--my therapist has been working with me on looking in the mirror (hard) and saying 'I'm a badass" (harder) and I'm working on believing it (hardest). Buuuuut if I imagine Sebastian saying that to me... :D But for real, I get the hard fight against the call of the void--I hope Seb or another beautiful anchor helps keep you here <3 That's awesome! I can't do that kind of creative stuff. Failed at pottery class, sewing, woodworking--all the teachers would shoo me out so I didn't hurt myself and tell me to go back to the art room to draw XD I hope your creativity quells the storm in your mind. <3

Hello all! I want to start off by saying that I in no way meant to offend anyone with my art—specifically, my recent piece of Maru. It broke my heart and made my gut twist to realize that I had faltered in respecting her character design. I generally color-pick from the originals as a baseline, and then go from there, but I should have been more cognizant of her racial background when making artistic choices. I do not have much experience drawing POC, and even though it was hard to hear the criticism, as my intentions are always good, I will be more conscientious of this with future drawings. I create art to bring joy to myself and others, and want to continue to do so without disrespecting anyone. I went back and edited the piece, and hope I did her justice. Please feel free to inform me if have not. <3

hi! i just saw your recent ask from Birdie about commissions. i wanted to 1) tell you how proud it made me feel to see you be so candid about your mental health & 2) echo her sentiment that i would love to commission a piece from you someday if you were ever in the headspace to do so. you are so incredibly talented.

in the same way that i’ve spent thousands of dollars on art in the form of tattoos, your art is beautiful and valuable enough to spend money on. i’m not saying this to try to, like, persuade you to ever take commissions. i just felt the need to verbally express how floored i am by your art. my tattoo artist occasionally needs to be shaken/reminded how incredible she is sometimes, and i feel like you can just never hear it enough, especially when you’re struggling.

i profoundly relate to your struggles with bipolar/simply just existing. i see you. & i just wanted to be another voice temporarily speaking over the deafening bad thoughts in your mind.

if you ever want to scream into the abyss at a bipolar stranger on the internet, my DMs are always open 🖤

i hope you’re having a good day

Hi there :)

1--I am tired of feeling ashamed for being me. Fuck shame. I think that's why I still act like I'm 13--that's the last time I felt unashamed of everything I am. So I'm done feeling bad for who I am. *I* think I'm pretty fucking cool. So does my husband and my beautiful kiddo. So yeah. Fuck shame <3

In regards towards my mental health vs shame, I had an epiphany:

There is nothing wrong with me.

And the world is wrong for telling me otherwise.

We are all different. And that's not always a bad thing.

2--With all of this self-discovery shit, I'm realizing that I am worthy of so much more than I let myself believe. That I have allowed others to convince me that I am a nuisance, that I am incompetent, that I do not deserve love, praise, or that I shouldn't even be allowed to exist. By the by, someone telling you that you aren't worthy of being alive feels pretty shitty. Don't let those people in your life. Run away. Run away and warn the others, jesus fucking christ.

ANWAYS. I think I may work towards commissions.

I always thought it sounded fun, tried it out, but I pressure myself too much--what if they don't like it? what if they don't want to pay that much? what if my art is trashfire kindling and everyone that's ever complimented my art is a dirty dirty liar that wants to see me fall flat on my face?

And most importantly: What if it's not perfect? What if the eyes are off, or the anatomy is 'wrong', or it's not the EXACT thing I pictured it to be in my mind?

Newer motto (still under construction): Fuck perfectionism. What a stupid cage to lock yourself into. Working on unshackling myself. Have been KINDLY (*this is important) reminding myself whenever my thoughts head down that path to redirect back towards the joyous parts of creativity. And it's been going pretty good. Slow, but making progress.

So yeah! Rambling coming to a close. Thank you for being another positive voice in my head to help fight away the void that other's have created. And for being that for a fellow tattoo artist as well <3

I think I should create a discord group called "screaming into the void" and invite all of you wonderful humans that have invited me for private sessions to join. We can all caterwaul into the abyss together XD

I hope you are having a good day as well. Be kind to yourself <3
