I need you to know that your witcher art, especially your we can grow into our bones series, lives rent free in my head. I adore your Eskel and the way you draw him with Geralt, not to mention all your trans art. Your art deserves all the love, as do you, so thank you for being brave enough to share what you have. <3

Sorry for the delay responding to this, I've been holding it in my mind gently like a baby bird. Thank you so very much for these moments of your time.

I miss drawing like I did for Witcher stuff like I miss a limb. I hope to someday return to that level of art. I wish life hadn't KO'd me so hard that I got to finish that series. Here, take some of my planning:

Your drawing Ciri is disgusting

Congrats on being my first negative message but wow, what energy to approach the world with.

I'm sure your parents are very proud of you.

Re: that anon.

I'm almost positive it's someone named Marina. She has a habit of sending hate to Witcher blogs who aren't making content for her favorite ship. Though nowadays most have her blocked so I've witnessed her popping into the ask box of completely random people. It's equally parts amusing and pathetic.

She's a deeply unwell person and frankly the best thing you can do next time is to hit block. It'll block her IP and give you peace.

Still getting hate from her, anon or not, is almost a rite of passage in the Witcher fandom.

That doesn't seem like a very winning strategy but I guess there really are all types of people in this world.

Thank you for the message and advice, I doubt I need it. Its just really funny someone would even remotely consider me part of any fandom, honestly.

I saw your art about having layers preventing you from forming meaningful relationships and it struck me in the soft places. You might not know me, but if I ever could, I'd be a friend to you. 🤍

I think I appreciate this? As an artist, I just want to strike people in the feels, for good or ill.

That said, I really can't stress enough that I am the fleshy equivalent of this meme:

I know you haven't been up to posting much lately, but I just wanted to come in here and say that I love your art immensely. Every time I see a new piece from you, I stare at it for ages, wanting to imprint it in my memory. Your work is truly beautiful and I am so grateful to get to witness the things you share. Thank you for being you and continuing to create the things you enjoy. 🤍

Words really do fail to express how much I appreciate the message, thank you for taking the time to send it. I hope to someday get back to more regular posting - maybe after October.

I know you've been hoping for more Gerskel ideas of late, so was wondering if you've got anything with retired Eskel and Geralt? Or Eskel and Geralt being good dads? I love your art and hope the inspiration returns soon. 🤍

I'm sorry it took me a bit to answer this, I wanted to draw something for it but never could get something going.

I do have: We Can Grow Into Our Bones - the premise of this series was Geralt and Eskel becoming good dads and re-evaluating the motions they were raised to go through. Its an unfinished series but I think was completed can stand as is Retirement looks good - for a retired fix. Drawing them as old men is a great joy and I don't do it enough

Thank you for your kind words!

Thank you for your Eskel art. His smiling face popped up right when I needed him, brightening my day. Your posts always feel like a shot of serotonin to the heart, I love your art so much. Thank you for sharing your gorgeous work. 🤍

Drawing smiles is one of my greatest joys - I just love it.

Thank you for the kind comment and enjoying, it means so much.

Sooo. If someone wanted to buy prints of your art or commission you, where could they go?

My commission post is here!

Prints is... more of a work in progress. I want to sometime edit some things for print cause I'm slowly getting closer to surgery and I will need money saved up to cover things.
