If I'm not posting here, undoubtedly I'm posting somewhere else:

Stationary: Website — Amazon — Goodreads — AO3 — dA

Random: — Invitation.Codes for all of your referral code needs — Art Fight

Social Media: Facebook — Instagram — Twi/X — BlueSky — Substack — LinkedIn — TikTok — YouTube — Time Shepherdess (random story notes, occasional tidbits)

Art sites: deviantArt (original) - deviantArt (newer) - deviantArt (newest)

Tip Jar: Buy Me A Coffee — Two Cents (private through Stripe)

Email: Direct, but might get lost — Indirect, but might not be checked

Phone: Telegram (close enough) <- Easiest way to contact me. Because I am silly. And I intentionally put the app onto my laptop. The channel is public - and I will only delete it if I get bombarded by spammers.

So. If you're looking for me? Good luck! 😅

Important notes, you didn't need to bring a knife! Knives were actually provided for them by the event planner <3 So it was "everyone please come in this way and pick up your knife from the basket (yes really) as you pass, one per attendee!"

[big-smiling-monkey]

That’s very considerate. It’s this attention to detail that really elevates an occasion.

I'm one of those who tends to not bother with an RSVP - I go unannounced and leave in a similar fashion.

Inktober day 12) SHREDDED - GHOST - FLAME LILY - I know I'm skipping around a little bit.

Shredded and ripped can sometimes be used interchangeably for well toned/muscular. 👀

Six pack? Sure. Of what, I've no clue.

Inktober day 7: This is the "OMFG I HAVE A CONCEPT AND IT'S RIGHT THERE, I CAN SEE IT BUT CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO IMPLEMENT IT" image in a 3" square. Rosary Peas (the actual seeds) have been made into rosaries - but, because there's toxins on the interior that can KILL you? Stringing those seeds is dangerous, as is using them.

I'll flesh it out (haha) later.

As far as ink pens are concerned ... what's your go-to pen / pen brand?

Weird Ink-Tober Day 11: "Delicious"

You see an apple. I smell the air.

Weird Ink-Tober Day 10: "Vicious"

Umm. There's a movie called Vicious. The MC's name is Polly and they're supposed to put something they need, something they hate, and something they love in a box.

I haven't seen it yet, but Polly went to parrot who wants a cracker and there's the base.

Originally posted on dA in 2003 (originally drawn in 2002). Being on deviantArt for ...ever, I can show old stuff that hasn't been seen in, well, decades.

Quality isn't the best - but this is the digital file from that point in time, not a scan today of what was doodled way back when.

Ink doodle from October 15, 2003.

You read that correctly — 2003.

I will be posting some of my older stuff up here for about 48 hours each, then backdate them for posterity. ❤️

"Each One Teach One" - each person in a group teaches the group a craft or special technique in a craft. I did this in college with ink pens and raw wool.

They learned how to spin their own yarn very quickly, and were requesting more wool during other presentations. 😅

Weird Ink-Tober Day 9: "Popsicle" - I am not sharing. 👀

Also, all I could see was Angel Dust (Hazbin Hotel) sucking on a popsicle, so I kept it simple.

lnktober prompt 5 - because I just CANNOT offer my digital doodle for it. My original plans for a two-sided image was sound, but the more I work the more detailed they become. More details take more time, and this little 3" square took 3 hours.

And I have already used up all of the ink in one pen. Good thing I have plenty more!

Weird Ink-Tober Day 8: "Cheeseburger"

I don't know why there's a sunnyside fried egg or a chunk or Swiss used as a flag or why it's on Texas toast instead of a bun - it just is, so there.

Obviously stretching out of the teal and into colors...

Weird Ink-Tober Day 7: "Absurd"

If you don't know me, you don't know that these characters are actually 20 years old — from a mock-up book for a children's illustration class that I created in college.

I'm heavy on details when I get focused. Because these Weird Ink-Tober pieces are just 600×600 pixels, I need a little time to transfer this from my phone (all of my doodles for Weird Ink-Tober are phone doodles) to my laptop — then time to reestablish the lines on a larger scale.

As in ...this is 2"×2" — I want it to be closer to an 8" square so people can actually print it out and color it as they see fit. ❤️ (Knowing me, there will probably be a few more details added to it....)

Do you have a fursona?

Yes/no. I've never really looked at the little critter as a fursona, so that's the "no" portion. It would, technically, be considered a fursona in the eyes of the community due to the fact that I do view them as an extension of myself, have used them as an avatar, and have also used them in art chat doodles in years past.

I'm too tall to dress up as her (yes, "she/her" even though I am a "they/them") in her normal format (think less than 12-inches tall), but she does have a full human-sized version ......that would need a lot of modesty.

Think in terms of chibi cartoon doodle on one hand and not-quite-hentai on the other. 😅 [I'm pretty sure the original poster will never see this, but it has been answered!]

If you have a question, just push the little button at the top of the page and ask.

I was off of Tumblr for a while so I obviously never saw the question. I'm going to be better about keeping this account active. ❤️

YOUR ART ON TUMBLR IS BEING USED TO TRAIN AI!

The setting that prevents your work being used to train AI models is turned off by default! I had no idea about this until now! Artists, go to your settings, click “visibility”, and turn on this setting! Protect your work!

[portlandalites]

《Made a visual guide of how to get there, because it's under a weird tab.

Go to your blog (you have to do this for each individual blog) and the visibility tab

It's this last option here

Hate this shit, but turn it off babey》

[mathiesmemos]

Almost as bad as deviantArt - but at least here you don't have to pay for membership to keep your work "protected" oy. -_- Thank you to both @scutesketch and @portlandalites ❤️

Day 4: MURKY - OWL - BUTTERCUP (flower)

If anyone says I used a white pen for those dots? Dishonor on your COW, I take pride in creating every detail with my black tiny nib pens.

4 hours.
