#not art #selling my art has given me the worst art block of my life so I’ve decided I don’t want to do this anymore #I’ve got more reasons but like. yeah.#Actually I think one person is subscribed? If it’s you lmk I’ll draw you something

really unfortunately for this account I have discovered I like drawing more when I’m not posting it online.

fun fact no type of human is inherently harder to draw than any other. if you feel like you cant draw fat people/textured hair/wheelchairs etc you should do it anyways. do it badly first and you'll figure it out with practice, just like anything else. go forth. i believe in you.

often i imagine a more book-accurate howls moving castle adaptation like to be clear i love the movie. i love the introduction of howl’s bird monster form i think being a fucked up bird for your hubris is incredibly symbolically rich that said. i wanna see Fucked Up Uni Student PhD Dropout Howl. i wanna see the weedkiller.

#howls moving castle #not art #book!hmc #howls moving castle book #like. personally i think we keep his bird imagery because we cant have a lot of the metaphorical shit #its an adaptation etc and look. becoming a fucked up bird as a metaphor for academic hubris is sick fr.#also i think we bring back miss angorian as a deconstruction of orientalism and fetishization which is what she was originally imo #but i think we update her to address a more modern stereotype. the stock characters have changed since the 80s

The 2025 Swordtember prompt list is here!

If you're unaware, Swordtember is an online creative challenge I started back in 2020. The challenge is themed around swords and takes place across the month of September. From 3D models to D&D campaigns, and everything in between- it's always a blast to see what people make!

As always, this is intended to be a low stress challenge. There's no need to participate daily (I sometimes sit it out entirely because life gets so busy this time of year!). There's also no pressure to follow my prompt list- I know other people put out some amazing lists (and you can totally just freestyle and do your own thing, of course).

During September I'll be rounding up my favorite entries on Saturdays (Sworderdays?) from challenge participants to share on Bluesky and Instagram. Just post with #swordtember ! I'm so excited to see what people make this year.

Here's the written out prompt list:

shell

moss

automaton

scale

bell

fossil

clock

canine

feline

rodent

reliquary

concealed

bloom

rot

lace

carved

gem

beetle
