Little AU fanfic I’ve been cooking up…
More info under the cut:
quick doodle I did on a whim of my take on Lance from @pendragonsgallery 's fic 'Asterism' because sometimes you need something to do with your hands while you're stressing
(He's changed so much, it's kind of beautiful.)
Some roughs I did for my Watching Beast AU, because I am way too excited about all of the obscure fairytale references and tropes I've wrapped up in all of them. Everyone here has their own sideplot stuff going on, and i'm very excited to reveal it all in the fic itself.
Explanation under the cut:
The Watching Beast in a shellnut
(God help these poor idiots, if only one extremely simple piece of information could fix the absolute mess they've gotten themselves into)
"First make it exist, then you make it good."
Once upon the misty moors...
... there lived a lonely young man, living simply with his mother as many did in a small house in a village on the domain of their lord in Greymoor.
Not much can be said of those early years, not much this young man would have wanted to repeat that bore mentioning at least. All that can be said was that one day his mother fell ill, and with the rumoured sightings of a strange woman in a red skirt, face hidden by a cloak and smelling of death, bringing with her to his door nothing more than rake whilst he was away...they should have known there was nothing that could be done.
But that certainly didn't stop him from trying though. Working hard and long each day on their farm and on the properties surrounding it. Selling their only cow, their chickens and what little of value they could spare to afford the herbs that could ease her pain, only to return to scorn and stubborness in her delirium with a soft smile on his face as he tended to her, nevertheless.
All the same it didn't change her fate. Nor the fate of the lonely young man, now adrift and lost without much in the way of direction.
Untill at least, he was approached one misty afternoon by their Local Lord of Greymoor, who spoke to him with hollow geniality, and offered him a job as a servant in his castle.
Needed a break from uni work, so I decided to do some more concept art exploration for a Monster Jon design I've been sitting on for a while for what I will hesitantly call a swan lake au.
New Year, New Profile Pic!
low key kind of obsessed with the Faroeverse atm…
So here’s my take on our girl c. S1 & S4
Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime, that’s why we doodle on company time :)
Two thumbnails that definitely didn't stay thumbnails, I did for my concept design class
Writing a thing...
"The Australian convicts sent to Shelby Island are already struggling to survive under the brutality of their wardens, when a new supernatural threat arrives to throw the entire colony into chaos."
a very gentle PSA that a writer is not a short-order cook, please do not try to order off the menu
I do wanna expand on this slightly because I have to stress - I'm not mad about this ask, and I totally understand the impulse. But I think it's a useful avenue of analysis to unpack a couple things about fandom, critique, and interacting with creators.
When an artist is in the process of making something, they might seek out peers to get another set of eyes on their work so they can polish it up. This is critique. It is specifically solicited from someone the artist knows and trusts the opinion of, and it can shape the art if the artist chooses to take it into account.
When an artist makes something and publishes it for an audience, they're presenting a completed work. A response to this will be analysis and review and can serve as a guide to buyers, readers, and writers who want to analyze why the story did or didn't work for them and what they can learn from if. It cannot change the work of art itself, although the artist might take some analysis/reviews to heart and use them as a guide to their own future improvement. However, this is inadvisable, because writers should generally not engage with their own reviews - it can be a form of digital self-harm to seek them out and obsess over them.
When an artist makes something, publishes it, and a community forms and starts expanding on the story or speculating where it might go in future, this is fandom, producing fanworks. This is also not something that can or should influence the original work. In fact, there are multitudinous legal reasons why it really, really shouldn't.
The internet has made it easier than ever to get in touch with artists, and it's also made it easier than ever for artists to serialize their own work. This combines to mean it is now very easy to contact a writer mid-story and tell them what you think they should do with it. To the person reaching out in this way, this feels like good clean fandom. It is no different from any other fan analysis or fanfic, except for the fact that it is being directed to the author and framed as if it were peer review, aka the only kind of story analysis that can actually be used to modify the original work.
However, it is unsolicited, and it betrays a sense of entitlement to the original work - a sense that is, factually, an element of transformative fandom as a whole. Transformative fandom takes a work that belongs to nobody but the author, and then treats it like an open source raw material to play around in. This is all in good fun, and it is 100% fine and great for fandoms to play with source material. But the line is drawn at the borders of the author's work. That is under nobody's control but the author. Only peer review can touch it, and only if it is invited in.
If you ask a writer to write their story the way you want it, you indicate that you think the story exists solely to be exactly what you wanted it to be, and that the author is simply failing to achieve this goal and needs correction. This is not true. The author is doing something. How you feel about it is entirely up to you, but the way the story goes is not.
I think some elements of fandom, for all its wonderful qualities, makes this very easy to forget.

Been thinking about starting a comic lately…
“She feels angry all the time, because of what they did to her. She’s so angry she doesn’t know what to do with it… sometimes I feel like that, you know?”
Trying out procreate on my new iPad, and my country keeps trying to revoke basic human rights. So needless to say Jason Todd has become something of a comfort character lately.
Getting over art block by drawing me and my brother’s sonas as our favourite eevelutions.
