I am

the sun and moon and forever hungry

the sharpened edge

where day and night shall meet

and not be

one

I published my art on tumblr and all I got were two phishing attempts

Some Akane break art. I love her.

For some reason my brain always pictures her as kinda stocky so thats how it feels most natural to draw her.

[iceghosto]

Wait i know where i got it from it’s literally cannon haha. Akane was just never drawn that way. Which is a shame!

Hi all, here's a comic I've been working on slowly for the past couple of months. It's only 8 pages long so I wanted to finish everything and post it together. Pages 4-8 are below the cut for less scrolling. Hope you enjoy reading it!

The gloss glaze on the tigre de cerámica (pequeño y gordo) is FLAWLESS. Just. Drawing attention to that. Beautiful.

Oh hey, do you know what time it is? It is highly specific resource time!

Today we have the Royal School of Needlework Stitch Bank! There are HUNDREDS of stitch types in the RSN Stitch Bank.

And more added regularly, let’s look at a recent addition

I picked the first one in the 25 recently added Elizabethan stitches, the Elizabethan French Stitch

The stitch bank provides written and photo tutorials as well as a video option to learn to do it yourself. There are examples of the stitch in use, resources, references, everything but a needle and thread!

I looked at some of the tutorials last night and holy shit I'm so impressed! They're SO thorough! Not only do they have written and video instructions, but there are photo and illustration options for each image AND a "flip view" button so that left handed people can see all the images in reverse!

I am going to jump in and add, as you said they are very detailed in their directions, something that takes a lot of time and money.

If anyone who has enjoyed this resource has the means, I encourage you to adopt or sponsor a stitch to help keep this free to access. I know not everyone has the means to (fair, been there) but if you can, check out their sponsor options

RSN Stitch Bank Progress

And one other resource I have shared before, The Lady's Magazine. Embroidery patterns from 1770-1819. In case anyone wants some historic ideas for using all these new embroidery stitches
