Heyyas! I'm Houseplant and this here is an Art Blog!
They/Them
It made more sense to have an artistic archive than to let everything get lost in the mire of a personal blog.
Heyyas, I'm Houseplant(they/them) and this here is one of those fancy Art Blogs.
I can be found on various sectors of the internet, such as;

I'm a hybrid traditional and digital artist, who has tried almost every art supply there is to sample -- though I've a fondness for alcohol markers when working in a physical medium.
I love doing illustrative work, as I'm a storyteller at heart, and hopefully I'll bring you all along on the journey-- I'd love to even be part of your own storytelling journeys, and if you're interested in such;
Commissions are currently OPEN

artfight attack for @legion-art
i had this concept for Briar's coat since the moment they told me about them for a one shot I ran. Obviously art fight was the best place to bring this vision to fruition.
Oh, yeah, Forgot to say-- I'm doing Artfight again this year.
let me know who you are so i can go say nice things on your art! that's part of my fun this year-- commenting on attacks that aren't for me, merely because i liked your art and wanted to let you know!
Calyx tried to alter his deal with his patron, though I suppose it's more of a renewal of vows. No biggie.
Beneath the cut is what was written two months before it was able to be said, due to scheduling issues-- it is NOT what was said in the campaign (it was altered and not all of it made it out), but honestly I feel like it needs its place to exist.
[please note it was written with cues for me to read during-game to give time to respond and I'm leaving those in, and it was written before certain in-game clarifications had been made. that is to say this conversation beneath the cut is not canon but the ambitions are. ]
“This…. isn’t a conversation I wanted to have over sending stone, but… it’s not like we can just pop back there real quick and still do what we need to over here.”
“I have several questions for you, and they’re not going to make sense til the end.”
“There’s a death priest here – not Lorn – a different one, who apparently slipped through the portals before everything collapsed. He… brought some very worrisome… that’s too small a word… catastrophic?... news – and said something that, well, did incite worry.”
“Or I guess, the need for an apology. He said there wasn’t a ‘signature’ on my soul? I… I was so incredibly stressed that day, back then that anyone could have said ‘yes’ to my plea for help and I would have… I… I assumed that it was the typical soul-for-tasks transaction. I assumed that you were stuck with me, and I guess… this has been a very stressful past two days, and I’ve been taking it out on you. And that’s… not right. So… for what it’s worth, I’m sorry.”
(give Oberon time to respond)
“ I… I’m not done with the questions. The day of the explosion, yesterday – was it really only yesterday? it feels like so much longer – you said… You said my forest was safe. Not my home. I’ve known your people, you’re usually very precise with the wording. So why forest and not… home –”
“ – because I haven’t felt like that was home in what feels like an eternity now, and I… I almost want to know what gave it away, but… that’s… what I’m trying to say is…”
“The Faewilds is your home, your people. And I clearly know what one would do to protect theirs. So… I’d… I’d like to alter the terms of our contract.”
“I’m not trying to be ‘free’ or ‘rid’ of it. This has been the most free I’ve ever been, when people don’t know they don’t expect– I’m rambling. Add on however… I don’t even know, is it years, tasks?... add on however many of those you want for this but I am begging you for this–”
“If it comes to pass that this cult, in their journey to find this one errant soul, were to destroy that island… I want you to let my forest go with it. A war cannot be fought on two fronts and won, and your attention is needed here – but please don’t think this is selfless.”
“This is done from the most malicious and heinous parts of my heart. If a single forest were spared the obliteration of an entire island, people would look to it as a beacon of hope. And maybe they’d respect it. But then they’d forget. They always do.”
“I would rather let everything I wanted saved, go to the depths of the ocean or wherever erased things are, than let people figure out how to breach the wild magics and claim it as their own. Isn’t that horrible ?
But I’m not doing this out of any sort of misguided altruism – nothing for free, right? Right. When the war is won, I want a seat on that throne, beside you.”
I simply wanted to draw some old characters. Maybe one day I'll figure out how to unthread them from their original stories and into something new and original.
but they wouldn't have had to suffer this knowledge if one of their members didn't essentially bring home the vampire cops to their (temporary) haven like he was a stray puppy they should be excited to have with them.
(we're totally ignoring the fact that if Tiziano hadn't changed River's phone UI to Italian to force her to be immersed in a language, she wouldn't have been messing with it in sight of this deplorable man. )
Kairos' cat, Applesauce, is a being of pure evil -- however only one person in the party knows this, and they're being kind enough not to separate a boy and his cat.
...not that Kairos would believe them. He's the first to say that folks are being unreasonable calling black cats bad luck.
in the time period he was born, no matter what country he claimed heritage to, his existence was illegal.
so it makes perfect sense that he's still not in the practice of giving a damn about the law, even vampire law.
anyway, i needed a decent reference for this dude so that i could put him up on artfight and also so that his fellow players could know what he looks like.
Recently, Calyx was told he needed to trust himself more.
But how can you trust yourself, when all you can do is tied up in another person?
...Or so he thought.
He asked the Baba Yaga if she had a room where he could be intentionally cut off from his patron, and from there was lead to a room where he was told to trust the abyss.
He couldn't quite find comfort in the pillowy nothingness of the void, but he now knows himself better.
The party is headed to the Winter Court to meet with Baba Yaga and to hopefully remove an interloper who's royally messing things up in the Faewilds... so a new outfit was in order.
Of course, Calyx can't be subtle about ANYTHING and he's very quietly freaking out about being told he specifically cannot speak to his patron or return to the Spring Court til this is all dealt with..
I had the most wretched artblock, and a heck of a time trying to do character art for a vtm dude. I'm considering this concept art now 'cause I think I got his curl pattern down better now.
also you all get to see my hand covering a thumbnail for a different piece of art on the page.
