hold tight, we're in for nasty weather @sclappin - Tumblr Blog

Hoping this steamy drawing of my non-HOF Warden (now Warden-Constable!) Johanna is censored enough for Tumblr.

Full image is posted here since that worked well last time with the Zev/Cousland art.

#self reblog #good morning everyone i feel like my yuri art that i post is generally more chaste than other pairings so im balancing it out #is this bc i feel more self conscious about it? is it bc typically m/m and f/m is more popular/well-received? idk #no point speculating im working on it

Trying to reaccustom myself to using an s-pen with my new phone after a year of using a phone with no pen pressure sensitivity, so I drew a little warmup Isabela.

posting this here bc i'm really pleased w how this (cropped version of) drawing of warden mal cousland and zevran came out but im too scared to post it to my art blog even cropped for fear of a repeat of The Wyllach Incident of July '24, from which activity on my art on the replacement blog is just finally starting to recover.

i need to make a spot on my squarespace site or my patreon for this sort of thing

Testing the waters by reblogging this to the already-destroyed blog.

#bringing this back because i miss them

May's postcard is a sendoff to the Dragon Age TTRPG campaign I've been in for two years.

Seeing as the GM is one of my monthly postcard recipients, it only felt right.

Lesbian sailors circa 1848.

#my art #commission #pen and ink #history #19th century

A celebratory illustration for Poor Thom's Tavern, which my dad opened 10 years ago this month. It's become a beloved little bar & dinner spot in my hometown, and host to some fiercely competitive bar trivia teams.

I'm very proud of him.

New Dragon Age OC-- August, a tranquil mage from the Kirkwall Gallows. They were made tranquil after a years-long feud with another mage boiled over into attempted murder.

I'm playing them in a tabletop campaign (that's starting after Johanna's campaign ends) where they've been recruited by Leliana as an agent of the Inquisition.

"Ghost Light", for the "Staging A Comeback" exhibition at the Attleboro Arts Museum in Attleboro, MA

5"x7" intaglio print on BFK

I haven't done intaglio in about 5 or 6 years, and it was daunting to get back into it from my less-than-adequate studio setup in the corner of my living room/kitchen space, but the end result was well worth it.

The show is up until May 1st in the Ottmar Gallery of the Attleboro Arts Museum! If you're in the area, stop by (admission is free).

#sadies day job #self reblog #it's my first time being an exhibiting artist/shown in a gallery so im pretty excited #(this is also where i work so please admire how nice the white walls look. thats me also.)

Inquisitor Ivy Lavellan

She's undergoing a bit of a redesign and reworking. I love playing dress-up with OCs.

I think her hair is still usually loose, but I wanted to try a couple different looks with her hair more up/covered.

#my art #digital art #ocs #dragon age #inquisitor lavellan #ivy lavellan #for her time with the inquisition im gravitating toward late medieval-ish flemish big jacket looks #shes spending so much time in the cold regions of thedas. i have to bundle her up.#im also trying to reconfigure the timing on her romance arc. and what her relationship to elven vs andrastian beliefs is #also shes transgender now! congratulations ivy

April's postcard of the month is inspired by memories of doing summer Shakespeare camp as a tween in White River Junction, Vermont, a charming, hip little town.

Going to get iced coffee on breaks from rehearsal while I was still dressed as Tybalt with a silly fake mustache is a core memory. I remember feeling Very Grown Up.

Making some tweaks to my Inquisitor, Ivy Lavellan (mostly changing her vallaslin from the Dirthamen design to the Sylaise design, because it suits her fire motif better, and the contrast between her temper and Sylaise's peaceful reputation is interesting to me).

#my art #digital art #ocs #dragon age #inquisitor lavellan #im working on some outfits for her in my usual way bc i havent drawn her in maybe years???#pre-game/living with the dalish doing something based off traditional ainu clothing felt appropriate #since theres so many irl cultures wrapped up in the design/lore there that its harder to pinpoint where to start designing more grounded-in-#real-historical-clothing outfits than like. orlais. where i can go 'well thats just france'#but the dalish are just sort of a hodgepodge of various displaced groups #and the visual language of the embroidery felt like a good fit #im also giving her some 14/15thc western european inspired clothes for being in the inquisition #ivy lavellan

An entanglement, circa 1770.

#day after self reblog #im really proud of this one! i love picking an extremely specific time/place/culture as a setting for a drawing #so i can get really specific and granular with how i style the figures #(i know i know its almost always the first half of the 1770s in the massachusetts bay colony)#(sometimes you get a job right out of college that accidentally bonds you permanently to the year 1773 and you will never escape it ig)

You mentioned reading about a sodomy court martial, can you link your resource please?👁️👁️

Yes! It's Vicious and Immoral by John Gilbert McCurdy.

Here's the link on Bookshop.org, although it may also be available through your local library. I know the Boston Public Library has it.

Homosexuality, the American Revolution, and the Trials of Robert Newburgh

It's actually a bit more complicated than a court martial for sodomy, because the army's evidence for the act itself was based on hearsay and the whole thing ends up stretching out into a series of trials about sex, insubordination, defamation, and fancy clothes.

The author also spends a lot of time putting the trials in context, and gets into the nuances of how being on the brink of war may have been influencing different officers, the different levels of tolerance for homosexual behavior in the cities involved, and how these trials compare to others going on at the time.

An entanglement, circa 1770.

#my art #digital art #18th century #historical fashion #ocs #im reading a book about a case of a court martial for sodomy in 1775 in the british army #and it is FASCINATING w a lot of insight about how/where soliciting sex occured #and what got considered signifiers of homosexuality and by whom #but also i just wanted to revisit an old sketchbook drawing #and the really really tall boot covers some redcoat soldiers had are... something #my friends dagny and quinn had to make a pair last winter for a costumed interpreter and refer to them as 'the slut boots'
