Hello, hello! My name's Estee Barnes. Welcome to my main blog!
I am a writer, visual artist, and all-round creative. I love to make stories and hear others'. Although I technically have six at the moment, I mostly focus on only four of them. That said, I have well over one hundred characters.
Most of my OCs are completely original. I have fandom OCs here and there, but I don't share them online. I'm not a huge fandom person, but I have some interests. My stories tend to take my full focus. I have at least one side blog for each of my stories (sometimes more) and one blog where I make 'tag the OC' posts.
This blog is mainly reblogged posts and my own text posts. I typically post my art on an OC side blog, but I reblog them to here too. Sometimes, if a post focuses on multiple stories/side blogs, I make it here and then reblog it. As of typing, I haven't posted my prose before.

Asks about my OCs are highly appreciated! I currently have some ask games reblogged to my main, GP1994, and TBE blogs. You're welcome to dig up any older ones too. Alternatively, just send your own :]
Mutuals
Figured I'd try a mutual tag list. I'm only tagging the mutuals I currently have who I am sure are fine with being tagged. If we're mutuals and you're not on here, feel free to ask to be added (or removed)! :]
This is in no particular order.

[I'll add another divider here eventually.]
Other
I have no DNI list, but I block freely. I block blank blogs and suspected scammers by default to avoid bots.
I ask that 18+ accounts do not follow me. Likes, reblogs, and comments are fine. I prefer no 18+ blogs send asks unless necessary. This blog is ageless.
Exceptions apply to @/oc-extraordinaire. There, 18+ accounts can follow that blog. See the blog itself for further clarification.
I currently have a goal to make one finished (lined and coloured) piece of art per month and a few smaller drawings/sketches here and there. I'm trying to get myself into a regular posting schedule.

Hi! I'm redoing this pinned post again. I am just never satisfied with it.
Disclaimer: I do not give consent for any of my work (art, writing, and anything else to come) to be used for any training models or monetary gain.
Anyways, welcome to my Tumblr! This is my personal account. Here, I reblog a lot of random things I find funny or interesting. My own posts are usually about my OCs and sometimes some art. However, most of my OC stuff goes on the respective sideblogs.
Speaking of which, here they are!
@halboro-1994 - My main story, Halboro: 1994. There is an older version of this blog, but it was blocked from everyone because Tumblr thought it was a bot. I use this one now!
@ask-halboro - A dead ask blog. I have never been happy with the set-up and got way too focused on how my OCs would have access to Tumblr. I'd like to redo it one day, but for now it lies dormant.
@oath-and-creed - Set within the same universe as Halboro: 1994, but about ten years earlier. One of my 'big three' stories, as I look at it.
@oath-and-creed-official - Not to be confused with the general blog. This one is an ask blog! Again, defunct.
@super-space-sailor - Within the Halverse (Halboro: 1994 and Oath and Creed), Super Space Sailor is a franchise. Here, it's its own universe! Very underdeveloped, but it is dear to me.
@thebutterflyeffect-tbe - A completely separate story/universe from the above three, but the third of my 'big three'. I'm slowly trudging through getting it to a point where I can draft. World-building is hard, haha. For the longest time, I forgot to turn on the option to @ it and thought it was blocked!
@intergalactic-inn - An idea I was briefly fixated on before I realised I didn't know where I was going with it. I have ideas going around in my brain, but for now they're pretty vague. I hope to work on it more someday!
@tualoma - A very vague fantasy story I made once. Again, world-building is hard, so I have not made much progress. I pretty much only use this blog for vague fantasy 'aesthetic' images.
Most of the stuff on these sideblogs are just reblogs of images (mainly PNGs) which remind me of the story/characters! I do post my art and 'tag the OC' reblogs there too, though! Also, you're welcome to send in some asks, especially for the big three!
You can search around for my tags, but I'll be putting my personal ones on this post in case the search function breaks.
I block very freely. If I think you're spamming an unrelated tag or your posts just aren't what I want to see, you'll get blocked. Half the time there is no personal vendetta.
As such, no set DNI. I would write one, but I know most people don't search through every blog they see for one. So, I'll just block you if I don't like you. Also, if I think you're a bot, you'll get blocked too.
I animated something! It's very simple, but I wanted to just play around with the folders. I've tried to animate in Clip Studio Paint before, but I didn't understand the tutorial I was watching and quit. I've think I've got a better handle on it now.
Also, calling this my first animation test is kind of a lie. The real first one I didn't save. It was just the word 'yippee' and a smiley face, though.
Don't use my art for anything without my permission, don't repost.
Trigger warning for eye imagery. Does the word 'run' count as a TW?
At first, I was just going to draw the eye rolling back, but I thought the negative space was pretty boring. So, I added the first word I thought of. Maybe a little edgy, but who cares? I associated the eye with horror and the word run comes up a lot in horror so...Yeah.
