Prancer (1989) was one of my favourite movies as a child. As dark and moody of a Christmas movie as it was, I really related to it and the main character, especially as a child. While this isn't about the movie, the idea of Prancer as a human falling in love with one of Santa's elves definitely came to me while watching it again and I just had to draw it. - I hope that whatever you do on the 25th, that you had a great time doing it. And I want to say that my heart goes out to all who feel lonely this time of year, may the next 11 months bring you the joy you may have not gotten this December. ❤️💚❤️💚❤️

Hello! It’s been a while.

I’m not sure who watches my Tumblr anymore or who remembers me as I have been pretty inconsistent, but I figure I’ll post this for anyone reading. On account of recent events I plan to post my art here again periodically, as I have been doing so on my other medias recently. With possibility of that increasing depending on how this whole social media landscape goes for artists. 2023 is a year I really hope to make a serious comeback. And thanks to a lot of work on myself, I feel unafraid of taking chances again, as well as heavily focused on my goals. I hope you’ll join me. Here is to an ACTUALLY art filled new year, and thanks for reading <3

I’m changing my art name. After a long period of thought, I have decided to change my art alias/name and figured I should share that here as I know my art is still shared from time to time on tumblr.

So yes, onto why I’m changing it! I started freelancing in 2012 and did so under the pseudonym Flesh-Odium, which was a name that I already had established years and years earlier when I first joined DeviantArt at the age of 15.

At that age I really had no idea what I was doing, or what my style would evolve into, or what a name really meant in the art world. But it wasn't very long after deciding to reenter the online art community in my 20s, that I quickly learned. My name didn't represent me and hadn't for many years. I created it at an extremely dark and horrible time for myself as a teen. Back when I thought horror content was at the core of who I was, and being edgy was somehow cool. But, thankfully, so much growth can happen in 17 years, and I want to embrace that growth, leave the past behind, truly just be me and let my art speak for itself rather than some cryptic online name that no longer serves or represents me.

I will admit this took so long due to fear of it affecting my traffic and the following I have built, I always stressed over the change making my old watermarks obsolete. Clearly it was a crutch. As they say no risk, no reward. and I feel like now is the perfect time to take a leap towards the unknown with a more positive vibe.

I'm sure you lovely people support this decision, but if I could ask one favour, that would be to retweet this to help get the word out, or better yet let anyone who may ask/want/like to know me what my new alias is. 💖

Love to you all. Esp my OGs

Also bear with me while I try and figure the colour theme I want to go with and slowly switch all of my socials over. PS: For anyone still watching my tumblr. I’ve been active on twitter since leaving tumblr, so feel free to join me there - https://twitter.com/WillowBell_art

I sadly don’t post to Tumblr anymore, at least not in any consistent capacity. But I wanted to share some fave colour commissions I did recently for an AMAZING supporter and friend, Xargondragon of his WoW characters.

Hello, I was wondering if I could pick your brain/get some feed back on some art stuff. I've been on hiatus from posting anything since December, and have been focusing this year on improvement, and it'd help to get another artist's feedback at some point. Peace.

Go ahead! Send me links via my email and I will give them a look. Hopefully I can help, hiatus’ can be a tough [email protected] for the delayed reply btw. I don’t use Tumblr that often.

~ She paused, she swore she had heard it; a cry deep within the cavernous dark of the cave. So further she swam, colours and light fading into the abyss beyond. Perhaps she'd meet with a stranded creature, or maybe a trap. Whatever her probing may bring upon her, she was tough enough to handle it.~

A new piece I meant to finish for #mermay, but here we are in late August ;-; oops..
