I post my digital art, stories, characters, animations, and sketches here.

Some art posts may be triggering. Examples of these may be gore, blood, self-deprecation, referenced suicide, shown deaths, realistic depictions of mental and physical health conditions, etc. I also own a couple characters that are a little scary-looking or have triggers in themselves, such as a murderous character, a character with many eyes, or ref-applicable visable wounds. There will be no profanity or sexual pictures/drawings, but some may include minor to mediocre blood and gore. I myself am squeamish about seeing gore, so heavy blood loss is most likely the worst you'll see here.

My ask box is currently open, but please do not use any profanity or share suggestive content. I’m always up for a friendly chat or discussion. Also I love to draw things for other people. I'll most likely draw smth for you if you want me to, so feel free to ask!

Anything To Make You Mine <3

An artist I follow recently started drawing some yumeships, and I suddenly realized I have free will. So, you get my yandere Inscryption sona with their favorite little bot.

I love this so much. I might just use it as my pfp.

So...I recently started getting into Minecraft ARG...

Katie: Yippee! I can't wait to start watching some Minecraft horror!

*watches Verity movie and Searching For a World That Doesn't Exist 1&2*

Katie: Why is it all yaoi.

My Art Fight attacks so far!

I'm aiming to draw more humans, as I usually draw animals.

Also trying to draw as many hands as possible! I suck at hands, therefore I will be doing nothing but hands!

In order, "I Swear That You Loved Me" for Sprout_zer, "The Beat Fades But The Music Remains" for Karandro, and "It's a Secret I Keep Tucked Inside My Chest" for @vilotshadowhunter.

Ray and Pin as kids!

This universe has a special place in my heart, as almost every character is struggling with something mentally or physically. I strive to learn more about the real-world struggles of people today, and I do that via my characters.

For those interested, I'd be happy to talk more about them, just ask away :D

Practicing expressions with NK since i don't give her as much love as I should (that's a lie she's all I every draw)

Also Artfight in 30 minutes, may!

Reference under if ya want.

[katiekat107]

Never have I been more sure of my commentors being bots xD

[katiekat107]

I'm on Artfight! Feel free to check out and/or bookmark my characters. Most characters seen on my blog will be there, as well as some getting added last minute as I complete the refs.

Art Fight

An art gifting game

[katiekat107]

More refs ! More refs! More refs!

(In order) Loki, Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Bolete. First three are from MOSYS, the other is from my Pocket Universe. I absolutely adore Bolete's design, so earthy and pretty. Plus, mushyrooms!

Loki is designed by me, Fahrenheit and Celsius is designed by Izumi_stars via Scratch, and Bolete is designed by @alodiadegreat

[katiekat107]

The bestiesssssss (+Ram)

Finally getting some MOSYS refs done. Pandora and Wisp are first on the list! Love this little queerplatonic couple <3

Prepping for Artfight rn, as my sis @wintertine is breathing down my neck about getting all my characters refs. Trying to do one ref a day, so hopefully more regular posts in the future <3

[katiekat107]

Digitizing more sketches!

There is going to be an overflow of just random universes and whatnot for the next day or so.

[katiekat107]

I am on a roll today! Three posts in one day? Heck yeah!

Anyway, Grian and Secret Keeper! Grian is a combination of 1 and 2, as I head cannon him as the species "mimic", meaning he will basically start to mimic the appearance, traits, and instincts of the people/creatures around him, or at will.

Secret Keeper is meant to kinda be the watcher's version of an albino, their wings and bioluminescent patterns being very close in color. They opt to wear their hood 24/7, despite really hating how it looks.

[katiekat107]

Uh... anyone here like watchers?

My designs for 1 and 2. Such silly little fellas. Love torturing people. Just having a good time. 2 is so uncomfortable around 1. No one knows if 1 likes 2 or if they just love seeing them squirm. Gosh I love them

I have quite a few sketches of these two, as well as my true watcher and half watcher forms of Secret Keeper and Grian, so I'll probably digitize those and post them later.

"I haven't seen yellow the same since."

Meet Resonar and [THE DIRECTOR], my sweet little Echo's parents! Man, I love it so much when my favorite character designs are dead or not present in the main story :D

If you recognize this drawing, it's because it's a sketch i did not too long ago. I really wanted to get the director's color palette down, as I want to make more drawing of him, and decided I was too lazy to just sketch a basic ref. But hey, now I have a doomed couple! Yay!

[katiekat107]

Mom, I'm famous!

This feels like a dream, people enjoy my writing! ToT I have always wanted to share my stories online, and I'm so fluffin happy that people are actually reading and liking my work.

CW - Eating disorders, depressive thoughts, self harm, injury

"I've Grown Tired of This Body"

Not quite sure how to start talking about this piece, since it's pretty personal, but I'll explain my though process when creating it.

Warning, since this piece is about eating disorders, I am going to be talking a lot about that.

I chose to use a simplistic style to capture this to emphasize that it's not a thing specific people have. Anyone can have an eating disorder. It's not just for teenage girls who don't like how they look, it can happen to anyone who has gone through some sort of psychological change or trauma.

The green outline is supposed to represent how the person sees themself. It's translucent, because it's not real. They don't see their actual body, they see a distorted version.

The red is what happens visibly. It isn't always so obvious, but if someone looks out for the signs, it's there. I won't go into what each thing represents, as that is far more than I'm willing to share online, so feel free to interpret it as you wish.

Finally, the background. Honestly, I just rambled. Not all of the thoughts are my own, and some are dramatized for effect, but it's the general thought process of the person in the piece.

Thank you for coming to my ted talk xD

[katiekat107]

Been using a random wheel to decide what to draw, so here are the sketches I made using that.
