Well, you’ve probably heard about the new Tumblr guidelines and how most artists are leaving! I’m also doing that. Not just because of bullshit censoring and flagging, but also because Tumblr is (and has been) fucking over queer artists and sex workers. The internet sucks these days.

Twitter is the most up to date but is also filled with WIPs and non-sequiturs because that’s what Twitter is for. I do upload almost everything to my Instagram, if you want mostly art.

I have a website now too if that’s your thing.

Messages and asks are being turned off because I will either never see it or see it months and months and months later.

I finished some more character sheets.

The locations listed are neighborhoods in Fort Worth, where this comic will take place. I made myself a map so I probably won’t add them on here going forward.

I have a million (four) deadlines to do but I started on character sheets instead. It’s self care.

Camila is the protagonist of the urban fantasy comic I plan to do in the future. They’re among my oldest designed characters, pretty sure I first drew them in 2013 or 14. They honestly haven’t changed much design wise (longer hair, got fatter as I’ve got more comfortable drawing bodies like mine) but their characterization has changed a lot. A lot less jaded and bitter (created this character in high school, shocker).

ofc this gets notes before I realize I drew the hair wrong and edited it

[rowanillu]

I can’t wait to see her again…

look it was only a matter of time before the raildex fanart started

and index 3 is this year so uh, buckle up kids

This month’s been rough on me, but I managed to finish these before June was out. They feel... needed this year.

(If you’re wondering why these all include bi, it’s because I’m bi and I don’t really feel like it’s my place to make say, pan/ace solidarity art since I’m neither of those.)

[rowanillu]

When someone asks me this, it’s hard to tell if they’re trying to figure out why anyone would be bi instead of pan (or poly) or if they’re just genuinely curious about why I use bi. (Same when people ask me why I use they/them pronouns.) I am unfortunately used to having to give a 500-word essay backing up why I identify a certain way.

Very tired of our lives being seen as not worth living.
