HikuSwing

An Art and Design Blog

[hikuswing]

So I went looking for this site and it appears to be down now, probably a casualty to the whole geocities thing. Since I'm pretty sure it was the only place hosting it, I figured it would be best to archive it somewhere else. I wish I could credit the original author (trraith according to the saved webpage that I have), but I have no idea how to locate them. if anyone has a direct link/is this person please hit me up.

Without further ado:

English → Romulan Dictionary

Reposted for archival reasons and because I am a nerd. Feel free to reblog this post with the link to the whole shebang.

Seasons Greasons!

I have opened commissions for the holidays and am having a sale on Portraits! From now until Xmas, portrait commissions are $20 for a single and $5 for an additional person.*

Get them for yourself, your friends, your enemies! Commission artwork like you're the nobility of old and, in the process, fund a small artist just trying to scrape by.

DM this account if you are interested in this super sweet sale.

If not, please do me a solid and reblog.

*Portraits with lineart as a stylistic element will also recieve the lineart version.

Genocidal freaks

[motziedapul]

As long as I live I will never be gaslit into thinking Zionist genocidal child killers and their supporters and enablers should ever be given a pass for anything. Anyone who says otherwise is only saying it because the mass slaughter, apartheid and genocide benefits them.

Hey there everybody!

Thank you all so much for the reblogs and commission! You're all wonderful. I'm still offering commissions here, if anyone is interested.

If you can't get one or you just don't jive with my style, either way, I would really appreciate a reblog.

Here are some recent samples of my work!

I have prints over on INPRNT and a Ko-Fi over Here, if you are feeling generous and want to help an artist out.

The Drowned Halls

[hikuswing]

Emergency Dental Care!

So, one of my front teeth is absolutely mangled. My dentist has thusfar been useless in helping me try to get my insurance to pay for a root canal. Not even a crown, just the RTC and a temporary. I have kept it from getting infected for several months while this guy screwed around and did nothing but, when I was there last, he put in a lazy filling (just dumped some resin in there and called it a day) and now that tooth is infected and I am in serious excruciating pain. Now I could pull it but this is one of my front teeth and I have several crowns already. If I pull it there will be a lot of very expensive damage to the rest of my teeth in a tragic dental domino effect. I am extremely poor and feel like I have been job-hunting forever, with nothing to show for it. While I am still searching, I have to do something: So I am offering up offer up commissions, linking to my prints, and asking for donations if anyone feels so inclined. If you can help, I would appreciate it dearly, even if it's just reblogging so this can reach a wider audience and some people who might really want to buy my stuff! Please, please reblog! Donate to me at Ko-fi if you are feeling generous.

PRINTS over at my INPRNT. Currently 40% off Sitewide!

And COMMISSIONS!

Just bumping this with the hopes someone is interested in something.

[hikuswing]

Just a single commission right now would help me out immensely. If anyone's interested please dm me or email me.

Finally making this picture into a print so I'm finishing the painting and details. I really enjoy finishing the fabric and the wood. I may have fallen down a rabbit hole doing the illumination on the book, but at least the posters will look fly as hell.

Aw yeah it's all coming together.
