We're at a point where there are no cheap options to retreat to and no price points that guarantee quality. Every run-down studio is $1400, every fast food meal is $17, every luxury condo has peel-n-stick tiles, every $300 pair of boots falls apart. Endless expensive mediocrity.

The cover of the book The Map and the Territory, which depicts two people standing back to back. One of them is a tall Black man in elaborate wizardly robes, and the other is a short woman with brown skin who wears practical clothes for adventuring.

For World Book Day, check out The Map and The Territory, my post-apocalyptic picaresque about a cartographer and a wizard trying to get home in a shattered world haunted by a death goddess.

A photo of a trio of my Peep Rex figures. They are fluffy TRex chicks colored in blue, pink, and yellow. They sit on a wooden floor with a backdrop of Easter grass and pastel eggs.

Peep Rex - fluffy little friends for Easter 🐣 These chicks will sneak into candy baskets to steal treats. They have a sugary coating on their backs to fool the human eye. Preorder one now for a limited time! I will also have some stock at LVFC in April.

Image shows a collection of four separate traditional black and white ink sketch images of Destiny 2 fanart pieces containing head shots of the characters Helhest, Crow, Cayde-6, and Felwinter's helmet with acanthus flowers and leaves framing it. Helhest has her head tilted up as she looks downward. Crow appears to be angrily announcing something. Cayde is looking over his shoulder in judgement. Felwinter's helmet is slightly tilted up and turned a bit to the right. The acanthus flower stems and leaves are on the small side as the leaves are below the helmet while the stems arc behind. Each character except for Cayde has their name written next to them with the artist's watermark and year.

Image shows a collection of four separate traditional sketch images on lined notebook paper of Destiny 2 fanart with head shots of the characters Helhest, Crow, Cayde-6, and Felwinter's helmet with acacia flower branches framing it. Helhest is smiling, Crow and his cape hood is in profile & frowning slightly. Cayde is tilting his head while looking to his left. The artist's watermark, year, and name, "scintillant-h", are in the corners of each image, along with Helhest having her name spelled out and "Felwinter's beloved" being written under it.

Trying to teach my brain a new way to measure drawing from references
This might take a while XD
Ive long wanted to cram Fel's helmet jaw plates with flowers but since its measure practice I didnt want them in the way either

And I'm looking forward to some time off to not do anything in a few weeks. Been dealing with some lows emotionally, but trying to keep going. Really hoping this new place frees up my finances some.

I've had a crazy month, went on a trip, moved,(still am moving, but hopefully that'll be done tomorrow), and I spent a lot of free time knitting a sweater i finished tonight just in time for it to be nearly 70 degrees tomorrow. I'm exhausted from the last several months.

Hey.

Tell people when they do good job.

When you like the stuff they make.

When you like the characters they’ve created.

The stories they’ve told.

Nobody hears it as often as you think bc everyone thinks everyone hears it all the time.

Trust. They don’t.

Tell. Them.

Crinoids are the state fossil of Missouri and most of them look like someone dropped a roll of Smarties, but this one is the most kickass crinoid ever.

Throw back Thursday, two pieces made 10 years apart that in still extremely proud of. The Thorin's map was made in 2013 and Saint 14 and the wish dragon (based on @sketchmatters.bsky.social ) was made in 2023. Both hand embroidery.

I feel like people think "birds are dinosaurs" is a weird fun fact that is "technically true" but I don't know how to emphasize that there are tens of thousands of species of theropod dinosaur on the planet with us right now. People keep them AS PETS.

WE EAT THEM.

Image shows Destiny 2 fanart with the character Felwinter wearing a fan-made custom design of Warlock robes and armor, complete with his canon accurate helmet, and Iron Truage gloves as he is part of an iconic Valentine's Day card framing. He stands with his arms folded looking forward at you with a rose carefully tucked under one hand. The background has various Destiny Crimson Days themed like candy hearts, red flower petals, & Crimson Days logo imagery. Where the basic card has a single large image in the back of several red bars that criss-cross at the top in a flat-topped peak, Felwinter's card background has one slimmer tall peak and a shorter peak next to it to resemble the known reference of his mountain behind him. Red roses arc around him from behind. There are three large blank rectangles next to Felwinter. Two of them are designated "to" and "from" slots for people's names while the third one reads: "Mountains have always divided people from eachother, but we make the rules in our own homes & you always have a place in mine." The artist's watermark and name, "scintillant-h", is seen off to the side of the image with the extra statements of "Queer Art By Queer People" & "Human Artist; no A.I."

Continuing a years old tradition of mine by adding to the Valentines card list the man who technically started the list, I just couldn't draw him sooner πŸ«ΆπŸ’

Image shows Destiny 2 crossover Destiny Rising fanart with the character Helhest posing with a mass of red roses circling around her while she is part of an iconic Valentine's Day card framing. She's standing partly from the side with her robotic arm facing front & extended back a bit while emitting waves of light blue electricity across the bottom of the image & around her body to create heart shapes out of the electricity. The biggest electric heart forms in her opposite hand as its held up halfway into the electric waves. She looks at you with bright eyes & a smile on her face. There are three large blank rectangles next to Helhest. Two of them are designated "to" and "from" slots for people's names while the third one reads: "Communication lines are secure. We have all the privacy we need." The artist's watermark and name, "scintillant-h", is seen off to the side of the image with the extra statements of "Queer Art By Queer People" & "Human Artist; no A.I."

A four part comic. The first panel says "it's ok to ask for help" and features Osiris and Saint 14. The second panel says "you're not a burden" and features Shaxx being presented with many gifts. The third panel says "murder is ok" and features Failsafe sending hearts to Rasputin. The fourth panel says "your feelings matter" and Saladin climbs over the panel boundary with a gun while glaring at Rasputin. Shiro 4 is staying well out of his way.
