people make fun of youtuber stans for being obsessed with some mediocre white man but to be fair i would rather people be obsessed with someone who looks like any dude you could find working at your local gas station than unattainable celebrity pin up models. theyre editing flower crowns onto men with acne and wardrobes consisting entirely of hoodies and board shorts and i fully support them. its good for the enviroment.

Hey guys! So... life has been busy I've barely had any energy to draw because I've been so busy with work, was hospitalized at one point, and most recently got a bad case of strep and currently hoping it's just getting worse before it gets better I want to post here more but never sure what to post really I've been so all over the place and life has been draining to say the least All I want is a little farm in the middle of the woods and for local towns to think there's a lil witch living in the woods who gives out yummy enchanted pastries to people who pass by 😭

On the slow but rewarding journey of redesigning a bunch of old oc's and finally giving designs to ones I haven't drawn yet in hopes that I can renew my interest in them ♥

The OC's- Neil Tegan Nero

My art style is changing and it's just It feels weird Cause it's pretty small changes I think but??? They look like big ones to me so idk But that's okay because it just means I'm learning what I like to do, what I don't like, and new techniques But fuck now I really gotta practice backgrounds more

“It’s no longer 1937… she’s not gonna be saved by the prince.“ 

The absolute DISRESPECT for the FIRST ANIMATED MOVIE EVER MADE and its female character who was strong in her own way! The DISRESPECT for Snow White coming from people who plan to ”“"update”“” her story??? I’m FUMING. i am FURIOUS. This is the SAME shit I said about Girlboss Cinderella do you understand???

Snow White was an abused CHILD who was isolated within her castle and then suddenly thrown into the  woods and she managed to survive using only her hope and kindness!!! She found a house and offered to work to earn her keep and she DID!!! Snow does not have to be a badass to be a strong female character. And more importantly, SHE DOES NOT NEED TO BE “BADASS” TO DESERVE HER HAPPY ENDING. Some of us in abusive situations CANNOT escape on our own. We CANNOT physically fight back and WE STILL DESERVE HAPPY ENDINGS.

Women don’t have to be badasses in order to be strong female characters. So she needs to be saved– so WHAT? Saying Snow White is an antifeminist character solely because she doesn’t save herself is offensive to abuse survivors and to the original character who WAS a good character. You can criticize OTHER parts of the movie– the implication that men living without women will be useless and filthy the entire time, or we can discuss the Queen’s feud with Snow being fuelled by misogynist standards, etc.!! But just saying “she needs to be saved so it’s bad” LIKE. ARE YOU SERIOUS

Badass Snow White reboots are fine in moderation, but just like Girlboss Cinderella reboots, too many and it becomes clear what society is trying to say now- that if you’re feminine and can’t fight a battle, you don’t deserve to be saved. Do you see why this is a bad message????? Some girls are badasses who can kill and fight as well as or better than the boys. Those girls have Mulan, Merida, Raya, Moana, Rapunzel, Elsa. They are good female characters. But you know what? So is Snow White. So is Cinderella.

I’m sure people are going to accuse me of being antifeminist for saying “oh she NEEDS to be saved by a man”– I’m NOT SAYING THAT. You could have her be saved by a woman. Be saved by the dwarves, her platonic friends. By the animals. You could write a badass Snow White reboot without being disrespectful to the original film or tale. Just fucking TODAY I read the Disney Mirrorverse Snow White book– it’s written for 13yos basically so not high art but even with them having to make her an adaptational badass, they managed to keep her personality PERFECTLY. She learns how to save herself in this book, but also remains HERSELF. And her previous inability to fight was NOT CRITICIZED by any character; her sudden badassery was a bonus for her, not an indication of her character!!!

YOU are the ones saying that if Snow White (and Cinderella) isn’t saving herself, she doesn’t deserve to be saved. But everyone deserves happiness and that includes those too weak to fight for it alone.

anyway that was a long feminist rant. this is also super disrespectful to the FIRST ANIMATED MOVIE EVER, the people who worked on it, Walt Disney himself, and everyone who enjoyed or was inspired by it. You absolute fucking dickheads.

also can’t believe i have to say this but if y'all use this as an excuse to be racist towards anyone in the cast i will hunt you down and put shoelaces in your lungs

Been working on a new alien species called Luxternis I want to make into an open species! They have two subspecies, one of which feeds on light and the other feeds on darkness so neither have mouths. So here we have the Lumens and Obumbratas!

I'll put under the cut what traits I have for them so far, but please keep in mind they're still a WIP! I might also use them for a comic one day, who knows at this point? The rarity tiers are genuinely just to show how often they show up in the general population.

Hello everyone!

I marked each one what their species is but left their classes up in the air so whoever gets them can decide! I tried to make them in such a way to have a lack of clarity in who they are so you can customize them however you want. 

Once you claim one, I will send you a DM with the chibi isolated from the others. If you want more art of them, such as a token portrait or a non-chibi drawing of the design I will be doing those for half the cost of my usual commissions.
