About the Artist ✨

Commission Status: OPEN (check the link at the bottom of this post for more)

Down to make new artist mutuals?: YES

Ready to boogie and slay with OCs?: HELL YEAH

Sup. This has been long overdue for, like, three years of me mostly lurking on Tumblr, but here we are. I'm scallops, an artist and writer (...on hiatus) in his 20s, just existing. I am a former forever DM and only got around to playing more often in the past year, so this blog is OC galore. This is a SAFE SPACE for all OCs, so I'm BEGGING for OC content, just send in an ask or message me if you want to chat about your OC. Not at all because I want to eat others OCs like a ravenous eldritch creature who feeds on creativity, which I definitely am not. And I'm in dire need of fellow creative mutuals. All this to say if you're an artist, are an adult, and follow me, I'll follow back!

They give me the sillys, I’m gonna combust.

I think this is the last post of them for a while. I finally got them out of my system, though I still have some ideas I want to finish someday.^^

"Was it always destiny for us to end in tragedy every time, vhenan?"

[lavellaned]

in my heart of hearts the mythal in the crossroads is 6 feet tall, horned, decked out in armor fitting a self-appointed goddess borne from primordial war and a giant fuck-you dramatic feathered cape. it hurts to look at her directly. out of the corner of your eye you swear the shadow she casts is in the shape of a dragon. she's been stewing in resentment for so long the air just always smells like a wildfire and lightning strikes. ya'll remember the fucking puzzles in her temple? you wouldn't be able to just walk up to her and start talking to her, idc how long it's been since she's had petitioners.

if you want me to believe in the "like holding a piece of the sun" line you have to do better than the pajama-wearing default character creator template num 9 that we actually got.

You know what?? You’re so right

It’s not even hard to alter her basic design. She’s supposed to embody Justice and judgement. Just make her more cunty.

One day, I will learn how to draw clothes properly

Until then, have an update 😊

Thinking about Dorian in Inquisition, who seems very opposed if not outright afraid to say “I love you.”

DAI Dorian, who has spent his entire life screaming on the inside, spent his entire life putting up walls and locking himself behind glistening gates, hiding himself away from any more pain because enough has been inflicted already. DAI Dorian, who detests confessions, let’s get this over with. DAI Dorian, who says things like “if you don’t make it out of this, I’ll kill you” and “you are incredibly dull, and I hate you.” And a romanced Inquisitor just smiles, knowing he means the opposite, but can’t bring himself to say those words, not yet.

Thinking about Dorian in Veilguard, who sends this letter to the Inquisitor, his love, his amatus.

DAV Dorian, who has been hardened by fighting what sometimes feels like a losing battle over the last decade, and yet softened by the wisdom and clarity that comes with age. DAV Dorian, who no longer cares to squander his feelings because he’s finally realized he doesn’t have to. DAV Dorian, who survived one near-end of the world already, and is now staring down another and won’t, can’t allow himself to hide away any longer. DAV Dorian, who has finally accepted that love isn’t something to fear or be ashamed of. Certainly not trite. It’s something to cherish, and he’s worthy of it.

Anyway, I’m fine.

As much as I want to be a short Bingmei truther, honestly it would be better textually if Bingmei was bigger and taller than Bingge (who had to be tall and big to fit the male power fantasy). Like Bingmei got fed and trained and cared for during puberty. The love he received made him better prepared for the abyss. Like imagine he comes out of it and Shen Yuan thinks “oh wow he grew! He’s bigger than I imagined reading PIDW!” And then we see Bingge. And he’s smaller. Wirey-er. All the baby fat is gone on his face. Despite his muscles, his stomach is still concave. The absence is tangible in him.

One good thing about the Blight is how it brings people together.

Jaskier: i think that was my fault

Geralt: Me too. What did you do?

[bunnyfoxx1]

I drew Season 3's Jaskier in the style of The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep. ...and I loved it.

[notthiscoolkid]

In my mind Jaskier is standing on his tiptoes now and in the short future the may kiss

Lyric is from Gigi Perez song Chemistry

Despite being a mage, Lainel knows how to handle a lute (better than I while drawing it anyways) and sings quite nicely. And Zevran loves it.

Still, music is sometimes a way for his melancholy and complex feelings to come out a non-violent way
