a future that sketched out "goodbye"!

an art blog full o' ocs

[lamplighterr]

Call us Epitaph or Space Outlaw (ze/hir + it/its + they/them). Adult who is queer + plural + disabled.

This is an art blog & archive of fun pieces we like. Mainly ocs & original stories! We love all things writing & creating and have a long, long list of stories.

You’ll hear a lot about our duology Steamcrew, a steampunk sci-fi/fantasy about four folks living in a floating city in the sky.

Steamcrew leans towards themes of found family & recovering from abuse/how long-term abuse + trauma alienates you from the world at large, but also has heavy exploration of how technology created by the powerful will be used in the powerful’s best interest, and not peoples’ interests (among other less succinct ideas & themes & discussions).

Navigation:

We tag everything non-art with #epitaph talk and art with #epitaph art.

We also tag asks (#ask) story names (ex. #steamcrew), and oc names (ex. #carrie ruano)!

Individual crewmates will either tag posts with their name (ex. #professor grace post) or with our anonymous tag (#anon post).

update

We've been thinking on this for a long time, but we really don't feel comfortable posting art on this account anymore (amongst so much old art & history). We'll either be deleting this account and migrating to a new one or we'll delete the art on here and start fresh.

Regardless, there IS a lot of old art (&history), so if you have anything you want us to keep on here, do let us know! We'll make a tag.

I know we've been mega silent since our hiatus, but we want to start by posting more oc/story art, so if you liked that, stick around. If not, it was nice to see you here for a bit, and I'm glad you were here :)

Hopefully, we'll get the "revamp" done by ArtFight! We're team Tragedy this year & will be participating. Same user as always, but we'll make a new post sometime with the user regardless.

Thanks for sticking around <2 it truly means a lot.
