Sheep concept art project!

Hello, I'm still here n' stuff - but holy God I hit the bad drawing ju ju again, meaning I was too depressed to draw much of anything beyond work related things. So, I'm hoping to fix that. And considering how much Etsy sucks... I am considering a Shopify to sell my various art related products or something like that, as Etsy is a bitch. I am also still wishing to figure out an appropriate patreon outlet. All things that take time to fucking set up and go through. Unfortunately that means I've been rather quiet on the social side of things. But, rest assured, I am not dead. Huzzah.

Periodic rent-lowering-gunshots:

Fiction is not reality.

You can enjoy things in fiction that would be awful in the real world. Like playing a murderhobo in a game! In the real world, being or supporting a murderer-thief would be pretty damn awful, while in the game it's just good fun. Same with anything else you choose to do with the pixels on the screen, like kinks that don't affect anyone real, so they're okay in fiction, but would be pretty damn bad in real life.

No one else is responsible for your online experience. They are required not to harass you, but they are not and never will be obligated to not post about ships, kinks, or tropes you dislike just to avoid you seeing them. It's up to you to blacklist words or phrases, block tags, or even block users as needed to avoid seeing content that upsets you.

No one can force you to read anything against your consent. Any content you don't like seeing can be instantly avoided by closing out of the offending post/fic.

You are not owed an online experience free of discomfort.

Nothing that happens in your imagination can ever make you a bad person. Words you write or read about fictional characters will never make you a bad person.

The claim that media consumption influences real-life behavior is intellectually dishonest and serves only to excuse the behavior of real offenders.

Fiction is a safe way to explore horrifying or confusing concepts. Therapists agree that fiction, even (or especially) about taboo topics is a good coping mechanism, especially, but not exclusively, for trauma survivors. Fiction is to adults what play therapy is to children. This doesn't stop being true if the work in question is of a sexual nature.

Sex isn't an inherently worse or better motivation than anything else. A work written to create feelings of arousal isn't dirty, shameful, or in any way less pure than works written to entertain, provoke moral questions, or for other reasons. And worth noting is that multiple purposes can exist in the same story, especially fanfiction.

You aren't entitled to an explanation for why someone reads, writes, or otherwise enjoys certain works, kinks, tropes, ships, etc.

Also I was delighted and smirking at the fact that Dante's English voice actor is once again playing a character that has a red coat and has a brother waiting to fucking punch him in the face. I mean that was *not* coincidental.

Well. Devil May Cry was delightful.

Idgaf if you don't want to write essays for school. I don't care if you don't want to write corporate emails yourself. I don't care if you can't draw well, I don't care if you can't write well, I don't care if you just really really want to talk to your favorite fictional character but don't want to RP with a real person because you have social anxiety or whatever

If you're still regularly using generative ai, chatgpt or midjourney or character.ai or literally whatever the fuck, im personally blaming you when my utility prices start going up.

the minute I saw this thumbnail I fucking -knew- man. I haven't watched it yet, but we'll get there today I wager. XD

I got to do the thumbnail and bumper art for one of my favorite youtubers, Flawed Peacock, for his video on the short story anthology The King in Yellow. It's been a dream project and I'm so proud of how it turned out. And the vid is 9 fucking hours long alksdjfsljd

sometimes I let my stupid 59 year old son be happy.

we have a fun time making this creeper Link's dad. Stupid tall creeper man comin out of the ocean. I love him.

I coughed. "That reeks!" He stared at me over his cup wearing the tiniest smile. "And yet, it will save your life." This is Kevin. (That's not his actual name but you can't pronounce it and neither can I. So for all intents and purposes, he is Kevin.) Kevin is a merman, who can take 'human' form - he could never pass as human. Not in a million years. He is a specialist at making magic tea. Tea that can make you live longer. Tea that can heal wounds. Tea that can turn you into what he is. The list is endless. He guards these secrets very closely. (Note: the tea usually tastes and smells terrible. He doesn't care. When his daughter starts to learn to make it, she insists on remedying this nonsense.) Kevin is an OC from my Pirates of the Caribbean/Legend of Zelda AU's that I play in with @mudora This is a re-ink and face lift of an Inktober drawing I did in 2018. I've always loved it, but wanted to spiff it up. I will be coloring it too!
