[Disney Channel ad card music] I'm Sham and you're watching Tumblr Shitposting! I mean, there's art too, but it's usually buried under the shitposting. â25+ - They/Them - Artist/Writer/Amateur Musician/OC Enthusiast/Local Bog Wizardâ
I mainly post OCs and reblog fun posts that I can rotate in my brain, fanart is extremely rare 'round these parts unless I'm reblogging some.
âHUGELY anti-generative AI, I do not consent to my work being used to train any model and will block you if you so much as ask.
I'm a full time employee, so I'm usually INCREDIBLY busy nowadays! Alas, that means very little posting unless I find some funny posts to banish to my blog. I post and queue things at odd hours, so I may jumpscare you!
If you want tags to peruse, I have a few that might interest you!
âȘïž#sham's art <- my art tag
âȘïž#sweet memery <- my meme tag
âȘïž#shamsbabs <- tag I use for bunching my OCs together, they are also tagged by fandoms and individual names!
âȘïž#trope scope <- writing tropes that really get my brain factory gears grinding
âȘïž#sham's favs <- thins it out to the things that make me giggle and live rent free in my brain, mix of both tags like a nice soup, though nowadays I tag anything as a fav... Might need a new tag-
#sham's inbox / #sham's trash posts <- for previous asks and my own silly posts, though these tags gather dust more frequently, since I never have an original thought other than about my OCs...
âȘïž#other's art / #friend art <- art appreciation tags :)
I also have sideblogs!
@shams-kiddies <- OC art sideblog, it's better organized than my main in terms of tags
@the-mighty-phoenix <- Iliana (KH OC) centric sideblog, I thought about using it as an RP/Ask blog but it's now just another art archive
I have other sideblogs, but I'm not quite ready to share them yet, so stay tuned I guess-
âMy ask box is open! I will be deleting donation asks and messages, unfortunately my platform is not large enough to spread awareness nor do I have enough time to fact check each blog or enough money to donate. I hope you understand! â€ïž
If you have any silly questions about my OCs feel free to shoot them my way! I revisit a lot of my OCs in a random rotation, so there's plenty to ask about and I love to yap about them. :)
âDMs are currently closed due to spam, so it's only that silly ask box for now! I'll reopen them later when I have the capacity to chat!
âCurrently, I am not accepting commissions, since I have a busy work life and chronic pain (plus I don't even have a commission sheet set up, alas-), eventually I want to do art trades or even conditional requests, but alas I don't have the capacity for that!
For the rare and more competitive art trade experience during the month of July, you can find me on Artfight as ShamSpam! I try to be as active as I can, but sometimes things happen-
I recently started moving over and archiving some of my writings to AO3, you can find them here if you're interested in reading some of my works from over the years!
And for a currently WIP archiving of all my existing OCs (aside from my sideblog, which technically counts) I have a Toyhouse!
That's all for surface level stuff, I'll leave some more in depth-ish looks about me and my work under the cut :)
I have no concept of a consistent social life or media presence, so I just post whatever and whenever I want to, usually mid afternoon for me because that's my time to Surviveâą my day to day stressors. Whatever hits my dopamine reserves just right will probably end up here!
If Tumblr dies, I'm going down with it, I will not be joining any other social media sites because that is just way too much to keep up with!
For those curious or recognize me from somewhere, I was previously on Google+, Doodle Club, Amino, and Artfol! Two of them are now defunct, I deleted my Amino account a bit ago before it kicked the bucket too, and I more or less abandoned Artfol as I was too tired to keep up with them, so if you've seen my art before or followed me for some reason from the 2017-2019 range it's probably from those sources!
I am a self taught artist who only really picked up on certain techniques and styles in recent years, and every day is a new day to learn, so I practice all sorts of things when I can. Not consistently, but we make do-
I mostly indulge in art and writing of my OCs, and the occasional fan art here and there when I'm in a particular mood, and everything (I would hope) is made with the love in my heart for my creations, from the 6+ hours of work on a digital piece to maybe a 10 min sketch of my OCs smooching from the confines of my canvasses.
We can ignore the musician part for now, at this time I haven't really delved too deep into making my own tunes aside from some really rough drafts, but eventually I will! I am a sucker for orchestral pieces, but I need to relearn music theory-
I have a few fandoms and things I like to participate or indulge in from time to time, so if you're curious here's a list!

âȘïžFolk-y music, nothing specific in terms of bands so far, just whatever hits my brain just right
âȘïžVery weird pickings from a variety of places, I'm honestly too tired to list most of them because I'm in and out of listening fixations like a pendulum- Usually it's a select handful of songs that don't have a tremendous impact on my liking for the artist, y'know? Aside from vibes-
