TFW your on again off again boyfriend tries to (literally) sweep you off your feet but you have papers to grade and world domination to plot...

I did an art trade/secret santa/happy new year thing with an awesome group of artists on discord and I got @si-ching and their amazing characters Algernon and Cronus! I had a lot of fun drawing these guys and their ridiculously cool designs, you should definitely check out si-ching and their art (its so gooood) anyway hope you like these awesome dudes as much as I do!

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

Bloop here’s the Secret Santa I wrote for the Jeanmarco Gift Exchange for @smilingkat ~~ it was a good time and a fun concept to work with!!

Marco pulled his binder onto his lap, pretending to be corroborating sources as he surreptitiously peeked at Jean from beneath his lashes, still reading through the project. His lips moved every now and again, mouthing the words Marco had written, and every so often the index finger on his right hand twitched. He had such long, spidery fingers, making each time he flipped a page look almost elegant, and they were close enough for Marco to smell the lingering residue of alcohol and nicotine and heat that clung to him. He definitely smelled like he’d just been at a party.

“Have you ever seen a ghost before?”

The terror twins and their good buddy Garron

Been feeling down lately and nothing cheers me up more than these three losers, so when I realized I had and old “draw the squad” pic saved on my phone that I never did anything with I decided it was time to... well... draw the squad... lol.

Look, all you science-types classifying “bugs” with your “science names”. Just stop it. The truth is out there. Those are fairies and you know it.

Jeweled flower mantis? That’s a fairy.

Lace bug? Nice try, government. FAIRY.

Satin moth? FUCK YOU. FAIRY.

Was hoping to finish up my submission for the @truecolorszine after work tonight but was too drained and just ended up staring at my laptop screen for about 20 mins before giving in to the tired. So here’s a quick pic of the wip for now.... I feel like I may have gone too far into the angst zone after seeing the previews of other people’s submissions but OH WELL.

If you know anything about flower symbolism and can recognize the ones I incorporated you may be able to learn some things about him ;)

How’s your dnd game going? What’s your favorite character? Fav bit of in game lore?

It’s going well! On a little holiday hiatus (and also I have to finish writing something I’ve been promising the players for a while but I’ll get it done… promise lol)

Garron! (The half elf man in the middle of the picture I posted a while back). I’m super invested in him and he’s my fave NPC to role play and banter with the players :)

(I don’t want to bore you with long world building paragraphs after you’ve been kind enough to indulge me with questions about one of my favorite hobbies so I’ll pick something short!) A tid bit of lore is that I really enjoy is that tieflings actually have a home land in my campaign! And it’s thanks to the suggestion of a player (everybody gets to world build in dnd lol). They come from the islands south of the continent and are a sea faring culture. They’re rum drinking, shanty singing, merchants fisherman and sailors. :) Distrusted by few as the post tech world has become a melting pot of different races and cultures, only a small minority still hold the antiquated belief that tieflings are devils.

Thanks for the question! I really love this campaign and the characters, so someone being interested in it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside! Lol

Last game.

The goodhearted albeit lazy bounty hunter Jean finds himself one evening in the same casino as our amnesiac dealer, who’s trying to rid himself of forgotten debts…

My Jeanmarco gift exchange present for @the-prophet-lemonade! She said she likes crossovers and space angst so of course my mind went straight to Cowboy Bebop. I had to rewatch the series while drawing this and now I’ve just got all these ideas for a whole JM bebop au and oooo… I’ll probably have to draw more if it Happy holidays Lucy! I hope you have a good one!

See you space cowboy

Nothing like waiting til the last minute, but it’s finally done. I’m such a procrastinator >~<

A Call to Adventure

A poster of the D&D campaign I’m running. I may be a little too attached to these characters and their story.
