Commissions Are Open! Offering digital character art, sketches, sketch sheets, and full illustrations atm, dm if interested!
me: yeah, so one of your most famous works is actually just that commission of a woman that you kept. Honestly, it's less of the piece itself that lead to its fame and more the mystery surrounding it, so I was hoping you could clear that up the decayed corpse of Leonardo Da Vinci that I resurrected: Hai detto che hanno chiamato una tartaruga che combatte il crimine con il mio nome?
Hang on let me translate something real quick
Yeah this is funny
Posting my b+t pizza date again because I'm so joyous
i think another thing that will help you improve a lot as an artist is to develop a healthy curiosity for things you might otherwise consider boring or mundane. if you want to make an illustration look more deliberately stylized, you have to care about the different styles even small things can exist in.
knowing how to draw things you enjoy in your style is a great first step. but have you ever looked at the way the tongue of a sneaker feeds into the mouth of the shoe? how about the mechanics of a pair of scissors? how about the different styles a chair can be built in?
these are things you might 'remember' how they look, but actually caring about the individual items instead of just as background props can distinguish your work in ways you wont realize until you start doing it.
instead of drawing vague concepts of things, you have to think of the objects as characters themselves. the same goes for your backgrounds.
From the Desk of T. Tharkay: An Introduction
Hello, Temeraire fans, and welcome to the introductory post for a new Temeraire fanzine! I'm your host Mod Manda (also known as @revolutionarygold) and I'll be answering some questions to bring us all up to speed.
"What is a fanzine?"
A fanzine is a form of collaborative fanwork that combines art, the written word, graphic design, and more to create a unified collection around a central theme. Some fanzines are intimate and made on printer paper, while some are professionally printed and are indistinguishable from official art books! It all depends on what the contributors of the zine are intending to do!
"Oh, what kind of zine will this be?"
A not-for-profit one, that's for sure! Other than that- that's where you come in! The scope of the zine depends on the scope that contributors are willing to commit to.
"You said it was centered on a theme? What's this one's theme?"
I'm so glad you asked; we're really excited about this. Picture this: John Granby and Tenzing Tharkay compile their notes on the dragons and environs and people they've come in contact with over the course of their many adventures and campaigns, with an emphasis on the dragons of the world.
"Well, I love the idea of this, but I'm a writer, I don't know if I..."
Let me stop you right there- you didn't think we would leave out all the beautiful writers of the Temeraire fandom, would you? How could I betray my own people like that?! Writers will be more than welcome to apply and join the project as a scene writer to accompany dragon illustrations, as a prop writer to accompany in-universe items and equipment, as an epistolary writer to highlight diegetic pieces of writing (think Laurence's inexplicable captain's logs or Jane Roland's many exasperated letters) or even as a science writer to accompany the dragon designs themselves! While this zine will err more on the side of gen-fic rather than ship-fic, there is plenty of space for writers of all stripes to apply if you're interested!
"Okay, well, what about fan dragon designs?"
The world of Temeraire is as vast and complex as the one we live in right now. While we love the dragons that the series highlights, we also love to imagine the dragons which may exist juuust off screen from Temeraire and company. While we aren't sure exactly what role noncanonical dragon designs have in this zine yet, far be it from us to keep them away from a project that is obviously interested in the worldbuilding!
"So you keep saying we..."
Oh, where are my manners! I could hardly do this alone, could I? I'm referring, of course, to my co-moderator @skywardsylphina, Mod Skyward! Skyward (they/them) is a ceramicist, illustrator, and artist of every stripe. While neither of us have run a zine before, Skyward has plenty of zine contributor experience under their belt. You can find them in the Scarland Art Book, the HermitPost Zine, and Memory of Family. Skyward is also the artist behind the logo and banner art on this blog!
"What kind of timeline are we looking at?"
With the understanding that this schedule is dependent on what the final scope ends up being, we're intending on delivering on the finished zine by Fall 2026. This zine will be freely available for digital download through either Gumroad or KoFi, and have a print-on-demand edition available for the cost of printing through Magcloud.
"Yeah, okay, you've got me. I'm interested in knowing more."
Fantastic. Tell us so in our Interest check form! Whether it's as an artist, a writer, a layout designer, or as an audience member (hey, we need those, too!) we'd love to hear from you to make sure that this is something the fandom is interested in supporting and contributing to. The interest check will be open for the first week of March (March 1 to March 7), so make sure to let us know by then!
"Wait, I had another question!"
It's a good thing the ask box is open, then, isn't it? ;)
All lies well, aviators, so until next time, I've been
MOD MANDA,
lifting off!
Starbucks Workers United baristas are escalating their fight for a fair contract. I urge you to keep boycotting Starbucks — and delete its app from your phone. Workers are fed up with low pay, chaotic scheduling, understaffing, and illegal union busting. Let's keep fighting corporate greed.
man you know female characters can have important platonic relationships and care about people without being a mom or sister or wine aunt right
the Ides of March grows near
Tumblr users these days, putting up the Ides of March decorations earlier every year.

‘the protagonist should be endearing and relatable’ the protagonist should make the audience scream and start banging on the one-way glass of the fourth wall. the protagonist should burn their entire life down and make the world’s worst sandcastle from the ashes. if they aren’t the cause of at least 50% of their own problems what are we doing here
hail to the ninth.
if i die i want to be skeletonized and then dipped into a very large version of those children's grow your own crystal kits
no tumblr it's okay my audience will find me
the sunk cost fallacy has been my favorite fallacy for as long as I can remember. so at this point it's probably too late to pick a different one
Hello yall, This sweet kitty is very important to my friends and I. She deserves the best medical options or most comfortable end of life treatment plans, but either will require some expensive diagnostics. If you can spare a couple dollars for her care and for her family's peace of mind, please consider donating. https://gofund.me/940362164
