A bunch of monochrome bordered drawings I did for the last couple days of artfight, actually using tones properly for once was a fun challenge and I really like how these all turned out 🖤🤍

I keep forgetting to post links to my new comics & zines here, so here's a round-up of the hot new stuff I made since last we spoke !! fresh out of the art oven!!

nightmare complex sketchbook - free!!!

a sketchbook containing some cool art I made on a concept art and worldbuilding course I was on in May :)

imagine if a shopping centre was. you know. for some reason. your own personal idea of hell. I'm so normal about shopping centres and resturants and swimming pools and loud loud loud loud noisy places with lots of people in them definitely don't have nightmares about them definitely didn't give those nightmares to one of my ocs definitely not who would do that I mean

My project for the Into Games Concept Art & Worldbuilding sprint!

Top Surgery Diary! - $2

12 pages documenting my experience having peri-areola top surgery :)

I posted the pre-op bit on here a while back when I was pre-op, but I finally got round to tidying up the post-op section that I drafted in recovery when I didn't have a lot of stamina haha

An autobio zine documenting my top surgery experience™️

Paige Turner & the Black Dog - $4

26 pages of comic! it's a fun little adventure story following Paige's investigation of a mysterious black dog that seems to be terrorising a small village and causing disasters

I made the first draft of this on 24-hour comic day in 2023 and I'm super excited that I got to polish it up and make it into something more complete!

I'm also just like. very proud of how it turned out?? very thankful to anyone who reads it! print version coming sooon (next week or so) for people who prefer their comics on paper :3

People underestimate how much it fucks you up to be subtly excluded as a kid. I would try to talk to my classmates and be met with disinterest or annoyance. The one friend I had, who I clung to and nodded along to his every word, had other friends he liked just as much or more. And his other friends didn’t care for me at all.

I look back at pictures from the time and see how separated I was from them. I remember knowing I was different. I remember posing questions about the world to the girls playing next to me and realizing that they had never asked the same ones to themselves. That the ways we thought couldn’t be more different.

I kept myself amused with my own fanatical stories and musings in my head. I would wander the playground on a circular path, imagining a friend and being sorely disappointed when it didn’t feel as real as I’d hoped.

There was a bubble separating me from everyone else, thin, and nearly invisible, but with a pearly sheen you could catch under the right conditions. I knew it was there, they knew it was there, and it changed me

This kind of thing is why, to this day, I never allow myself to consider anyone a friend until they say it first. It's a subconscious thing mostly, but if I think of someone as a friend before they've said it, I do find myself pushing the thoughts away, because if I was wrong, I would get hurt again.

It's quite a simple statement for most people, but when I hear someone who I'm close to say that I'm their friend for the first time, I feel a huge rush of relief, like there's this pent up anxiety that I'm taking it too far when I think we might possibly be friends.

#yeahhh #if I want to be social‚ there's always an extra level of effort required in pushing those feelings of unwantedness aside #the effects of the exclusion that baby me went through still haven't fully faded

hey so seeing as there's rumours of a tumblr ai deal, I don't think I'll be posting any new art here until it's confirmed to be false/cancelled (since the rumours do seem to be somewhat credible, as best as I can discern)

you can find me on bsky @ snail-legs (it has a built-in reminder to write alt text & I'm pretty sure I've not posted images without alt on there yet? so that account should in theory be more accessible than this one!) I'm also on cohost under the same @ snail-legs handle :)

#although as far as cohost goes #i'm more active under a different name; feel free to ask on it if we're friends but I can't promise i'll actually give it to anyone ^^'

monarch-ambrosia

none of the oiar employees know they’re in a horror series except alice. who spends every day desperately trying to change the genre to office comedy

#q #it's so true

I joined my friend's dnd campaign last week, and this is my character Flotsam! He's a sea-elf, so I got to have a bit of fun with his design ^^ The campaign is streamed here on Sundays if you fancy checking it out :)

#if anyone has any guesses as to his class or the type of fish his design is loosely based on I'd love to hear them :)#dnd #allysair #ocs #art #mine
