You guys, I really feel like my work over the weekend doing tutorials has paid off. This feels like a significant upgrade to me. I’m real psyched about this one. I’m hoping you agree!

Fanart Friday🎉 Copperhead by Naomi Lucas

If you have not been reading the Naga Brides series, you are missing out on something wild, fun and sexy! post apocalyptic, government coverups, clan politics, action and adventure, and so much spice. It’s gonna get messy. :P

It’s so hard for me to pic a favorite of the series (which is on-going) that I picked the copperhead, mainly because we have them where I live. Haha This one is one of my top picks though. The story is great. Both characters are in denial about their connection. Krellix is the last of his kind and has no home. Thus he feels he can’t have a mate. Julia is a badass who wants to live by her own terms. The way they come together is pure fun and so sweet. I adore them.

I’m feeling so creative this week. Now if I could just channel it into my comic story….

[morallyshay]

This guy just stumbled upon his fated mate. A human!? He’s surprised and a little confused about how we got here...

I wanted to show some new options and more examples on my rate sheet. So now it's more of a rate brochure! lol

Please take a look, and share with anyone who might be in the market for some art! My commissions are open!

Thank you!

It's my birthday!

[morallyshay]

Spent way too long today working on some different techniques, playing with brushes, etc. I’ve gotten some interest, so if you’d like to commission something like this, please let me know. It will definitely be on the higher end of my rates just because of the time it takes, but I’m more than willing to add it to my repertoire. Just make sure you’re specific about wanting my more painterly style. 😊❤️

My son and I were goofing around earlier and thought this up in a fit of giggles, and I just had to doodle it. 🤭 One for the perimenopause girlies!✊🙃

[morallyshay]

Something silly for your Friday night. 🤭🤪

Happy first day of 2026!

I spent my NYE bingeing The Mighty Nein and doodling characters from it. Hope you guys have a great new year! ❤️

artvsartist for 2025!

It was so hard to pick which pieces to feature! This has been an amazing year for me artistically. I put in a lot of work, and I am so happy with how far I’ve come. Thank you all for being here this year and geeking out with me about books and monsters! I appreciate you all way more than you know. ❤️

WIP - Another of my “Devastated Orcs” is on the way. I haven’t drawn a sad boy in a while, and this one is feeding my soul. 😭❤️

Check out @ booksnacks on IG to learn more about this seggsy boy, and the book he appears in! ❤️

Happiest of Happy Holidays, you guys! Gryg has something for you! Posting early in the month, so you can look your fill before the big day! 👀 I hope you guys love this as much as I do! I think I’m going to do more in this style in 2026. ❤️💋

[morallyshay]

Y’all. I just realized, my OC, Gryg is a year old! 🎉

I’ll let you go back and look for those first posts. 🫣 Our boy has had a major glow-up since then! 🤭💋

I still have plans to do something with him, but I’ve been a little stuck. So, we’ll see if something materializes in 2026. This year really got away from me. 😅

Fanart Friday 🎉 The Gargoyle and the Maiden by Sara Ivy Hill

If you are looking for a romance that drags you through the trenches before you get to that sweet sweet happily ever after, this is your story! It is heart wrenching in the best way. These characters go THROUGH it. I loved every tortured moment. The ending makes it all worth while. Secret baby, unwitting betrayal, years apart, and PTSD.

A quick little Frankenstein painting/study. Such a gorgeous movie. Posing is referenced from the painting "The Death of Procris" by Benjamin West
