Varwolf is coming to neopets, how do u feel?

Legitimately WILD that this is how I'm finding out this information. Proud, I guess? Surprised?? Very flattered that 2/3 of my April Fools' jokes from twenty years ago have now been christened into full-blown pets. Holdin' out for a Lamort. 🤞🏼

This did make me wonder how I would draw a Varwolf nowadays while still sticking to the spirit of my original design, so here ya go:

Finally getting to play the new Riven (its phenomenal!), since you did the lettering of the journals, were you the one that added the tear marks to Atrus��s passage about Catherine??? Evil! Evil!!

"What if Goromi was more in line with Majima's personal style post-Zero and also from the 1980's" was a thought I followed to it's inevitable conclusion last night

Extremely grateful I spent $150 in 2007 on a ✨Lifetime Paid LiveJournal Account✨ just so I could have the maximum number of userpic slots, a relic of its era

Hey Claire! I was wondering if you had any tips, tricks or general advice for how the heck to do turn arounds? They're the bane of my existence (I just can't rotate features in my head for some reason) and I don't know if it's a good or bad idea to make a 3D model to help without having turns as references.

I answered an ask about this topic early last year, but YES totally a good idea to make a 3D model to help yourself out! So much of learning how to rotate a character in space comes from practice, and practice comes from studying how things actually rotate in space, and making a reference model is a fantastic way to jumpstart that process. Also super helpful for lighting reference as well! 👍🏼

Worth every penny and then some!! The intensity, the tenderness, the worldbuilding, everything makes me wish I could just read this comic over and over and spend more time in this world. Utterly gorgeous to look at, and beautifully written and paced at the same time. The type of comic that makes me wish I was making comics.

Also MY GOD the character/creature/costume design, be still my heart 🖤🖤🖤

In wisdom of matriarch and of mother.

Sacred Bodies is a 55-page story about the marriage and relationship between Dualayim and Tolpan.

The peoples residing on the peaks of Spire unto Sky, those who live under the Light, have overcome great struggle to live in prosperity and in peace. Their hard fought-for sanctity and dignity is maintained through the Sacred Body and the tenants of its preservation.

Sacred Bodies explores the topics of desire and deviancy, and the cultural lines drawn between that which delineates one and the other.

Now available as part of the ShortBox Comics Fair 2024!

Apologies if you've been asked this before, but when creating period-accurate characters and costumes, how do you go about researching? I'm currently working on some historical fiction projects, and am overwhelmed! Do you have any places you frequently go for references, sources, etc? (Again, apologies if this has been asked)

Good news, I have a massive Google Doc for exactly that! 😄

[shoomlah]

Got this notification on tumblr and was like “huh what post is that for”

Oh yeah thank god I finally hit 25 reblogs, it was a little touch and go there for a second

[shoomlah]

Now I finally get to post my favourite 1997 vs. 2024 comparisons—love that I assumed "Sunner" was a registered trademark, very professional

[shoomlah]

My latest poster for Riven, designed to match my Myst poster from last year, is up on the Cyan store (link in source)! This was an absolute love letter to the original game—a beast to finish with all those tiny little walkways in the village, but totally worth it.
