Ishtar Reference Sheet

Well, wait, okay. It's not 100% done. I fully intend to go in and shade her skin eventuallyTM. But! Wow, look at the contrast between this and Samira's sheet, eh? This is my lovely monster Ishtar. A Tzimisce vampire on the Path of Power and the Inner Voice. Sire to my horrible gremlin Allani, whose reference sheet I will make eventually.

Like anything I've drawn, lots I can improve on. Quite pleased with how far I've come in the last year or so of doodling.

She thinks she is the deity Ishtar (ancient Mesopotamian goddess), or at least she allows most others to believe that she believes it. Symbols are 8 pointed stars, hook-shaped knot of reeds, lions, and doves. I have not really drawn much anthro stuff ever, so this was a big learning experience. Braided hair is new to me and tricky as well. We love a good learning experience, or something.

how it feels to message a friend who's having Problems that you can't do anything to help with.

#i appreciate how genuine and non-judgemental this comic feels #like left one is not upset at right one for caring while being powerless #and right one seems genuinely distraught and not performative

I'm glad the facial expressions are coming across accurately! It can feel so absurd to say gosh I hope the torment maze removes some fire and rusty nails soon, but alas, sometimes that's all one can do.

After oh, I don't know. Something like 50 hours of flailing, I've finished my reference sheet for Samira. Absolutely the most ambitious thing I've ever tried to draw and uh don't mind that I didn't draw hands. We all know what hands look like, right? XD

It's nuts how common it is to not allow children to be angry, even (especially) in households where adults are angry all the time. As a child I knew my own anger was unacceptable--not just expressing it outwardly but feeling it at all. So now as an adult my immediate reaction to my own anger is often to feel guilt instead of like. Noticing when someone is being rude or unfair or my boundaries are being violated or whatever. fucked up.

My asshole son (Muffin the cat) has been on a diet, on account of him being overweight. I've been losing my fuck damned mind because he is not losing weight, even when sticking to the vet reccomended diet.

Found out that the dickhead (affectionate) has figured out that the food is in the utility room cupboard. He has figured out how to hook his claws into the door, pry it open, and get into the fucking cupboard at night, where he then shoves his head in the bag and eats as much as he wants.

He then exits and closes the fucking cupboard like the genius little goddamn prick he is.

Update; my fluffy 25 pound dickhead of a Maine coon mix Disapproves Strongly of the child locks on the food door. Loudly. Is now attempting to figure out how to work a child lock with his enormous crime paws.

The older i get the more i understand why some people become obsessed with privacy, not because they’re hiding something, but because being constantly perceived starts to feel spiritually exhausting.
