I do fandom and original art, and commissions. I tend to switch styles and mediums a lot, but I always try to keep it interesting Long live the fandoms, long live art!

A Mournful Intermediary

I exist,

Reposed

In my deep seeded flaws,

To carry to term this bleek conception

Of my condition,

Wishing for deliverance

From the agony growing in my chest

I exist

In isolation.

Though I am swaddled by the love of my friends,

Their consolations fall like tears from my chin,

Serving only as a symptom of my pain

Instead of a remedy.

I exist,

In a void.

Numb to the external.

Taking tragedy in stride

With less than a passing thought

Yet

I remain vulnerable

To the whims of my shattered heart.

Painful memories decomposing

What little remains of who I once was

I exist,

With that burden.

The weight of my illness

Pulling down on my consciousness

Forever aware of my proximity to the abyss

But unable to drag myself away from the edge.

So I hold myself back instead

I exist, 

but not for long.

The torment that defines my

Existence will fade,

And as oblivion calls to me,

I will gladly go quiet to that

Good night

And sleep

I exist,

To disappear

To give rebirth

To let new life burst from my hollow corpse,

Felled by heartbreak,

Naked and weak,

To learn from my mistakes,

And try to live a little longer this time.

“Shattered”

Absence is agony Emptiness consumes me

Sinews are snapping This string has unwound me

Breathing is drowning My body confines me

Structure is torture Life is dragging me under

The compass is spinning Chaos has become me

Escape is defeat Relief will erase me

The fragments are scattered I must try to preserve me

Plug up the holes My ship is sinking

Fight or flight My feet compel me

A life on the line The horizon calls me

Live whispers in the wind Hope kindled inside me

My heart is shattered But the glue is sticking

Sorry it's been taking so long for me to post something. I've been having a pretty rough time lately. I'll try to up my posts in November. Hope you all have a happy Halloween 🙂

I’m making a Comic Strip!

So here’s the big update and the reason I haven’t been posting that much. I’m starting up a comic strip based on some true, some fabricated stories about me and my friends navigating life as adult children. After I move into my apartment at the end of the month I’m going to start posting, and I’ll put a link here. I’m so excited, I’ve been wanting to do this for a long time XD

P.S. I have a Facebook page now. I’m planning on posting more updates there as well as progressions of big projects. You can see the characters of the new comic strip there. Search Baconlynx, or @baconlynx25 

Hope you like the comic :)

So, I’ve been busy

Disclaimer: long post, sorry

Hey guys, sorry I never posted the pride piece I promised. I had a vision for it but I couldn’t pull it together the way I wanted it to. Good news though, thinking about what I love about the LBGTQ+ community (my friends) inspired a new project that I’ve already started on and am very excited to share with you (more details on that soon, want to get a good handle on it before I put it here).

Also sorry I’ve dropped off in activity. I’ve been having a very busy summer and my drawing pad is gathering dust. Not to mention the fact that my computer with all my files crashed so I’m starting from scratch again. Things have settled down though, and I’m hoping to post at least once a month, if not every other week. 

Anyway, to sum up; sorry I’ve been away, I’ve got a lot of fun stuff in store, stick around for updates no later than Sept 1st

Pride Project

Hello everyone, happy pride month! I hope you all and a wonderful, colorful June and are able to be as loud and proud as you can be. I’ve decided to celebrate my first year of being fully out, I’m going to spend all month long on one big project that summarizes my experience with the community. Hopefully I’ll be able to draw some of my fellow artist friends in for a colab. I’ll keep y'all updated. Have a wonderful day 😘

[baconlynx]

I saw this on Facebook and thought it looked fun! Feel free to send any other creatures not on the list, I'm always down for a challenge ^-^

Finally finished with my mountain of school work! I should finally have some free time, so expect some SU sketches soon (the latest bomb has me floored). Anyway, I didn’t really have anything planned to post today. But as I was walking around I saw a group of people painting on wood and couldn’t resist. It ended up being a kind of speed draw cause they were closing up. The prompt was “what does rejuvenation mean to you?” (it was to promote a forest restoration project). So I sat down for 15 min and quickly painted this. It’s more abstract than I usually go, but I’m happy with it. It doesn’t have a name yet.

Hi everyone, happy May Day! Unfortunately I won’t be posting much for a while because I’m right smack in the middle of mid terms, but I promise more art is on the way, probably more watercolors. I’ll post as soon as I can :)

Got a head for my Fairy Tale OC made :D Beyond this I don’t really have anything about her figured out, but am thinking she might be an animal or light wizard. Idk, but I had a lot of fun drawing her, look how happy she is!

The Gems go to Pride!

Lost Art

The computer that I stored and created my digital art on crashed :'( hopefully I can save the files, which were primarily Underuniverse set peices. Fingers crossed.

1/2 way done!! Here’s another sneak peak. So far this one is my favorite X)

I’ve received a lot of letters from artists asking to check out their artwork and their blog, and I’ve noticed that a lot of them openly write unhealthy amounts of negative comments about their artwork, it was super depressing, honestly.  :( Confidence plays a very very important role as an artist, it’s what helps us learn and grow without the constant feeling of doubt and jealousy!  You are a unique individual who must go down your own unique path, and as scary as it sounds, you can’t rely on others to hold your hand all the way through.  You are the only one who can get yourself to where you need to go, and beating up your artwork is not the way!  Trust yourself and your abilities to make a change, and you can do anything!! Love your art, love yourself!

This is so important. I can tell you I’ve still got a long way to go as an artist, but I’ve also come a long way from where I was, and most of that progress came after I stopped criticizing myself so badly. Be proud of your journey and continue to grow, and before you know it, you’ll have surpassed your previous limitations.

My brother and I are huge fans of Amethyst+Peridot, and we designed this fusion of them together. We call her Turquoise because it’s the only blue/green stone we could think of that is close to her color.

 In this design we used the most current Amethyst look, which is where her skirt comes from (It’s a translucent version of her ruffled shirt). And since this was the first time we’ve drawn her, we figured we’d draw the first time they fused when their clothes fuse as well. I might change the outfit later if I find a design I think suites her better. 

So glad she’s finally done, I’ve spent months drawing her. Hope you love her as much as I do!
