Ladynoir! Akumatized Ladybug

Hello, everyone. This is a piece of art I did for JeanneRiddle on AO3. I know I haven’t been too terribly active lately. My stylus died and I had to get a new one but I’m back in full swing.

[artbanks]

And here’s my most recent work. A request from a dear friend.

[artbanks]

This is for JeanneRiddleQ. It’s based on the description of her Akuma, Black Diamond. If you like reading Miraculous Ladybug fanfics, I highly recommend hers. It’s still in the making.

Our Tears Will Make Us Stronger on Archive of Our Own by Jeanne Riddle

[artbanks]

For a special friend. I know this isn’t my best work, but I can only get better from here.

[artbanks]

I’m happy to announce that I am back from my hiatus. A little doodle inspired by Jonathan Coulton’s Future Soon. If you know who JeanneRiddleQ is, I will be drawing a lot of works based on hers since she commissioned me to. Get ready for some really cool Miraculous Ladybug art later this month.

Through Adversity Update

Hello, my lovelies. I have been on a writing rampage since I cranked out that chapter from Strength in Indulgence and I’m pleased to announce that the newest chapter of Our Tears Will Make Us Stronger has been released. Get ready for a whole lot of angst, because that’s all that awaits you.

[jeanneriddleq-blog]

Update!

Hey, hey, all my assassin’s creed fans, I’ve updated Strength in Indulgence finally. Sorry it took so long. I had a little bit of writer’s block. Things get a little steamy, yet adorable with the newest chapter: Paint, Passion, and a Red, Silk Cloth. Hope you enjoy.

On another note entirely, I have a website now. Why is this important? Because it’s the only place I have found where I can do surveys. Surveys? Why are they so important, I hear you asking in the comments. Well, these surveys allow you to help me with my posting process. All of the fics listed on the survey are ones I have planned to write. They only problem is I like them all so much that I don’t know what I’m going to write next after I’ve narrowed myself back down to my rule of three and beyond that. Basically, you get to help me pick what I’m writing next.

Yay!

I know that there is a non-existent following for this fic, but Chapter 3 of  The Cinderella Cliche is out now. In case any of you were wondering why I bother posting it, I’ll explain. This is my passion project. I knew when I started writing it that it was going to get next to nothing in views and kudos, in fact I find myself pleasantly surprised by the feedback I’ve gotten on it already. Pixelberry did a stellar job with this stunning story and I’ve fallen in love with all of the characters. I know in some ways it’s a near copy paste for dialogue, however, I can’t help but believe that I’ve added enough originality to call this fic my own. I absolutely adore the immense depth that is put into Cordonia and its court and I love being able to add my own take to the habits and thoughts of these complicated characters. For any of you interested in reading a damn good romance, I recommend experiencing it through Choices on GooglePlay or the AppStore. 

That being said, if you’re interested in reading my baby:

Tumblr: *rolls out “best stuff first”*

My blog:

[unpretty]

on the one hand this is a joke post because lol i have never made a good post in my life, but also, if i hadn’t made the connection between this update and my sudden nosedive in activity, i would have been really fucking discouraged about all the shit i’ve been working on lately. i guarantee there are people on tumblr right now who haven’t made that connection, and who are trying to figure out why suddenly no one likes anything they’ve made. and that fucking sucks.

[jasper-appreciation]

Reminder to go into your settings and turn off ‘Best Stuff First’ because my activity’s tanked a couple days ago for no reason so this stuff IS happening.

You WILL miss content with that setting on.

[sergle]

i ain’t joking when i say that my activity looks JUST like this too and i wasn’t sure why

[characterdevelopmentforwriters]

I’m sure you all have seen posts like this before, but you will be missing out on a lot of content if you have this feature activated.

[transformativeworks]

Fyi, folks, this account has been hit pretty hard by this change. Engagement is currently at about 30% of normal, which means that there are a lot of people missing out on informative posts like this one about original works on AO3.

In order to change this setting on mobile (it’s unclear if it’s available on desktop at the moment), view your blog by tapping the little silhouette in the bottom right of your screen, then tap the settings gear in the top right of your screen. From there, select Global Settings (iOS) or General Settings (Android), then Dashboard Preferences, and toggle the switch for “Best Stuff First.”

Thanks to everybody who follows this account, everybody who reblogs and/or likes the posts here, and everybody who joins in with events like Fandom First Friday! You’re all awesome!

[reapersun]

Hey guys, normally I don’t reblog on this account, but I wanted to help make more people aware of this. It’s probably going to harm every single person you follow, so please consider turning it off. I’ve noticed a drop from normal as well and although I try to not let note counts bother me, I have to admit it’s pretty discouraging.

[artbanks]

This is actually super important for small time blogs that are just getting started. Please, turn off this setting so that blogs like mine can grow. Spread this around so that no blog can be harmed by this new setting!

The Sherlock Bride

So I’ve come to the realization that there’s actually a lot of plot points between the Princess Bride and BBC Sherlock (two of my favorite masterpieces). So many that you can almost switch the names of the characters between the two works and the stories blend together.

-The Iocane Powder scene vs. Study in Pink pills -Wesley is thought dead for five years vs. Sherlock fakes his death for two years

-Buttercup violently pushes Wesley down a hill and then chases after him after he returns vs. John punches Sherlock in the face and then chases after him after he returns

-The Fire Swamp vs. Saint James Bonfire

-Buttercup is engaged to Humperdink who kills Wesley vs. John is engaged (and married) to Mary who kills Sherlock (for about five seconds) -Wesley comes back to life with the help of a miracle pill and true love vs. Sherlock coming back after his last thought being John is in danger (basically true love, platonic or otherwise)

-Wesley is a Pirate vs. Sherlock pretending to be a pirate when he was little

-Rugen tortures Wesley in the pit of Despair vs. Euros torturing Sherlock in Sherrinford

There’s swordplay (Beginning of Blind Banker), fights, torture (Either all of The Final Problem or the beginning of Empty Hearse), revenge (Six Thatchers or Sherlock kicking the crap out of the American in Scandal of Belgravia), giants (Golem in Great Game), monsters (Moriarty or Euros), chases (Welcome to London), escapes (Reichenbach Fall), true love (platonic or otherwise between John and Sherlock), and miracles (John always having Sherlock’s back and Sherlock always having John’s)!

In case you were wondering, no, I am not very good at digital art. I’m a bit better when it comes to paper drawing but I started this blog to improve my skills and I’m determined. This is my first time using a stylus and I think I did pretty well, all things considered. I’ve already thought of ways to improve my technique for next time. I hope to get a drawing a day accomplished. That doesn’t mean I’ll be uploading on a daily basis because I hope to work on some comics I have planned in the future but I should be able to get quite a bit done. ^^
