I Exist
I just thought I should say so. I never mean to vanish off the face of the earth but it's really hard balancing life and chronic illness.
Let's see... news... that cold snap we had froze my pipes solid and they exploded and I'm trying to figure out how to sort that out. That's my life lately.
Watercolor and ink 9x12
Flashback: Reese, Kaneeka, Stella, and Gretchen from the game Scarlet Hollow, sometime in the past.
Alt: a drawing of a brown haired, blue eyed elven man with multiple ear piercings, a nubbly green cloak, and a blue ribbon in his hair, in profile facing right. The colors are somewhat complex and the texture of the cream pastel paper with rough tooth shows through.
How do you colored pencil?
Personal life update, and colored pencil facts!
I’ve been struggling with my art since longcovid because I have a tremble I didn’t used to have and my grip strength is shot. Also my energy level is terrible, so I’ve been trying to find things to do that I can set down again if I find I need to go lay down RIGHT NOW. I started looking back into drawing materials instead of painting materials, and that’s when I found out...
PRISMACOLORS HAVE CHANGED MANUFACTURERS AND FORMULAS REPEATEDLY OVER THE LAST 30 YEARS. This was mind-blowing information to me, whose favorite medium used to be colored pencils, but starting in late college, I started to suck at them. Guess when the last Berol manufactured prismas left the shelves. I just never realized, and blamed myself.
Instead of trying different brands, I just painted more. But now...
Anyway this is drawn with Luminance.

I specifically drew this because I could do it while lying down. It kept me busy while I wasn’t able to do much but make a million dots. Longcovid sucks, but I am alive. Happy impending spooky season.
(Rosehip it’s August.)
Don’t care! :D

Everybody from Twitter: please ignore this, lol
Everybody from here: Sorry, I’ve locked my fics down thanks to the AI scrapers, but I finally wrote something. It’s been too long.

MIND THE CONTENT NOTES!
Have a good day, here’s Anders stealing my bed. I dared to stand up.
Alt: a butterscotch and white cat with long fur loafs on a wine red sheet, which is rumpled and soft. Mounded black and red pillows and covers are heaped around him
