Lin's Art

38+ trans woman who picked up a pencil (digital and physical) to teach myself art to spite AI slop. Please enjoy my works as I figure out my style and make attempts at telling stories through art and video games! https://ko-fi.com/fluffyunicornrampage

It's been a month of all sorts of emotions and personal dealings, but I've been doing a lot of studies of Mino's art style (Rabbit and Steel specifically) and here's some of my own OCs so far from playing around ^_^

[fluffyunicornrampage]

Drew my headmate, well, rather, headmate drew herself is probably far more accurate here (I like her style. Is it stealing if it's my own headmate?)

[fluffyunicornrampage]

Got my first comm and it was to draw up this they/she Garlean menace (She likes speeding and feeding ice cream to her daughters)

[fluffyunicornrampage]

Happy Pride Month!!!

[fluffyunicornrampage]

I put a lot of effort into this one and I can really see the improvements. Of course the more detailed I get I'm noticing my lighting/shading is starting to slip up, so I suppose for Pride Month I'll be doing a lot of gay shading!

[WIP] Working on what is undoubtedly one of my favorite pieces so far. It's amazing seeing how much my studying and hard work is paying off this month!

[fluffyunicornrampage]

Hard at work at faces so ofc I had to do a self-portrait <3

[fluffyunicornrampage]

Ok, but there is something magical about roleplaying with a haughty butch who has a knack for violence only for them to turn into the mushiest of femmes whilst basking in the afterglow

[fluffyunicornrampage]

Your honor, I still love her

Doing more face practice this week, which accidentally turned into aura scales practice and illustration as well. Here's one of someone I've had a pleasure RPing with ^-^

I think a lot of autistic taking-things-literally goes under the radar because what the diagnostic tests and shit ask about is not what that generally looks like in an adult and often not in kids either and much more importantly it’s not what generally actually causes problems in real life instead of being irritating for caretakers or funny to bullies or easy to diagnose

I have absolutely no issues understanding metaphors or idioms. When someone says their heart is on their sleeve they mean they’re emotionally expressive and openly display their feelings, not that they have a chunk of cardiac tissue on their shirt. I very rarely have issues with sarcasm. I sometimes have issues telling when someone who’s said something mean is about to say “just kidding”, but tbh I think that’s more on them than me.

BUT

My grandmother asked me “Do you know when the trash was taken out last?” and I said “I think Eliot took it out yesterday” and a few hours later she yelled at me for “not taking out the trash when I asked you to” and I was like???? You didn’t ask me????

I dread filling out forms and am crap at filling out diagnostic tests or personality quizzes because there are always questions I don’t know the exact answers to (how am I supposed to know what day I got dental surgery seven years ago?) or don’t understand exactly what they’re asking or the wording’s unclear and they could mean this or the wording says this but I’m pretty sure what they actually meant was this and should I answer what they said or what they meant, and how does everyone else just whip through the form when surely they can’t know all the answers either? Does everyone else remember the day they got dental surgery seven years ago?

I get tangled up by bureaucracy because the rules on the website say that for this you need that and for that you need the other and for the other you need something else for which you need the first thing, and I go in circles for hours or days or weeks or months or years because their stated rules say there is no way to get what I need, and when I talk to somebody else they’re like “just call them?” and I’m like “how could that help? the rules say that what I’m trying to do is impossible”

And all of that? That’s how “taking things literally” ACTUALLY affects your life as an adult. It’s not “haha you think ‘getting under your skin’ means parasites”. It’s “you have real difficulty functioning in the world because everyone else is conveying things through implication and assuming that you know that rules are flexible and questions are approximate and you’re supposed to lie on job applications, and you don’t”.

Wait, I should lie on my resume? Fuuuuuuu-

Honestly this is probably my favorite piece so far. It really makes me feel like my body-construction/anatomy studies have really been paying off and I may even post the speedpaint of it. I've been doing gesture sketches for about 10-20 minutes a day, and have even started a paid course to really focus on a workflow and the fundamentals. So anyways here's art of my middie, Sang, out and about Limsa while her clothes are hanging out to dry!

Buy A.C. Danvers a Coffee

Queer author and game designer. Creator of Hulks & Horrors and Arcana Rising.

Welp, it finally happened. I paid my rent. And now I have no savings left.

Employment still eludes on account of the defective bones and the AIpocalypse. Unemployment ran out months ago. I have no income beyond Ko-fi and the book or two I sell every month. Can't even get food stamps because of the hell world.

So if you want to help keep me from being homeless by next month, shoot me a donation, buy one or all of those books and games from the Ko-fi shop or my DTRPG page.

Also you can read my stories over here. It doesn't give me any money but it does give me a reason to life, because I am in spite of everything, a writer at heart. Your attention feeds my soul.

My latest Rogue Trader series, Void Station Scylla, has just started, and needs your love. There's hot older lesbians to imprint on! And more on the way!

How I'm feeling as six month unemployed trans woman with chronic tendonitis in my wrists and elbows who, despite all her improvements artistically, can't seem to focus on bigger projects, find a job, or otherwise feel Useful (TM)

[fluffyunicornrampage]

Been doing more art lessons on gesture drawings, body construction, and the like, so putting into practice what I've been learning! I /really/ enjoy the Pictomancer and its aesthetic! My three creature summons would be the Fat Chocobo, Major General, and my Sapphic Moogle ofc.

[fluffyunicornrampage]

Really happy with how this turned out (I stressed really hard over the face). I actually finished this yesterday and spent a good portion of my day studying even more figure drawing and anatomy. Can only improve with practice and study ^-^
