I’m an illustrator who specializes in a western comic style with eerie, surrealist colour palettes.

I don't have a DNI. I block liberally.
I do not check every blog that follows me for their age. If you're a minor, I will not be changing my posting style to accommodate you. You have been warned.
I do try to tag any triggering content that could be a health hazard (flashing lights, for example). Going forward, I do not plan on tagging gore, blood, or anything to do with mild body horror. If you need something tagged that doesn't fall into those categories, send me an ask and I will do my best.

OC TAGS & OVERVIEW
I have many OCs. This will encompass my main muses for now, but feel free to explore around my blog for any stray content of my unlisted children.
#oc: briar - Briar Warwick (she/they/it). Anarch Nosferatu Bagger. Private investigator and ex-cage fighter. Embraced at the age of 23 in 2003. Once low humanity, trying to be less of a bitch in recent nights. Jury's out on if it's doing well with that or not. Has a famulus named Walter who will attempt to bite your fingers off if not careful.
#oc: lark - Lark Hallows (any, defaults to she/him/they). Anarch-leaning Malkavian (Ananke bloodline) Grim Reaper. Painter of apocalyptic prophecies. Embraced at the age of 20 in 1976. Mainly here to just have a good time. Tendency to hear birdsong as a sign of great change/impending or recent death.
#oc: ajax [vtm, 1980's] - Ajax Sullivan (she/they). The main character of a comic i'm currently working on called VOIDWEAVER. Always some flavoring of a Gunslinger/Warlock/Witch combo in fantasy land. My once DnD, now Pathfinder 2e fast-talker. Ravnos Blood Leech (prev. Gangrel for a time) urban explorer in my VtM AU. Add whichever word in the brackets you'd like to the end of the main tag to explore her variations.
#oc: moth - Valdis (Moth) Domarien (they/it). An old, beloved DnD character of mine that's going through an overhaul and becoming my main Changeling: the Lost muse. Originally a Rogue/Ranger/Warlock tiefling, now a Darkling Leechfinger who lives to terrorize from the shadows (and through various reflective surfaces) as well as carve their little statues from the peace of their Hallow. Has a giant black widow spider named Daisy as a friend, mentor and steed.
Contrary to popular belief the biggest beginner's roadblock to art isn't even technical skill it's frustration tolerance, especially in the age of social media. It hurts and the frustration is endless but you must build the frustration tolerance equivalent to a roach's capacity to survive a nuclear explosion. That's how you build on the technical skill. Throw that "won't even start because I'm afraid it won't be perfect" shit out the window. Just do it. Just start. Good luck.
guy with dissociative amnesia voice: yeah i just don't think i have any sort of amnesia with the dissociation. i would remember if i was forgetting something
okay not to ocpost again but the worst thing about having an oc is sometimes they become The Character to you. and you need to talk to someone about it like wow I can’t stop thinking about The Character… but in order to do so you have to like sit them down and explain everything about your oc first. and then it’s just you explaining your writing ideas. i need to talk about them the same way i would talk about any random character i love to someone.
one of the best parts of making up increasingly wild and specific aus with a friend is sending them posts like "this is sooo blorbo in torture chamber au number 15" and they reply back like "YESSS btw have i told you about my latest idea for how to torture them even more" and you get to enjoy a little snack and kick your feet with glee
hey guysss so unfortunately the rumors are true and im leaving the narrative. Buttt the good news is my absence will create such a gaping hole in your lives that it will become a sort of presence itself, and so in a way it will kind of be like i never left! But i am. Leaving just to be clear.
Lots of writing advice on tumblr. It's been years since I've written fiction in a serious way, but I did write a couple of (bad) novels in my early 20's, a bunch of short stories, and also a few hundred thousand words of LARP writing, and I do have a bacherlor's of science in creative writing (lol).
From what I can tell, there are only three universally applicable pieces of writing advice:
Read a lot (mandatory)
Show your writing to people (mandatory)
Have something wrong with you in a way that is impossible to articulate except by writing a novel (optional)
a lot of people assume psychosis hallucinations are super intense all-consuming horror movie shit like the memes about the hat man or always horrible debilitating things that make you dangerous to be around
but in my experience 95% of my hallucinations are getting spooked by very clearly hearing someone knocking on my door or calling my name from another room or hearing footsteps walking behind me which are "just" my brain recreating the horror of an abusive childhood
i *have* gotten the "bugs crawling all over me" hallucination once or twice though and yeah that one is exactly as terrible horrible as it sounds AUGH
(not trying to put you on blast specifically, you're just a good example to jump off of)
media and pop culture hypes up psychosis a lot as The Worst That Can Happen out of sanism, so even when you try and filter that cultural bias out you still assume it's based on something
when, no, psychosis is actually very simple: it's just hyperactive pattern matching. it's your brain's signal-to-noise ratio being off balance, it's seeing images in random static. it's not always this special uniquely big thing, it's in fact quite mundane a lot of the time.
no one is immune to psychosis, it's not purely the realm of the insane. anyone is one bad night of sleep or one bad case of food poisoning or one bad fever away from being just like me on my worst days.
and this, indeed, is why solidarity with the insane is so important: you, yes you too, are just one bad day from joining us, and no perceptions of being a "temporarily embarrassed sane person" will save you from the oppression of the psychiatric institution.
*torturing you* dude trust me, something really cool happens. you just have to reflect on it for a bit. i'm doing this because i want you to reach your full potential okay?
they need to come up with more words like necrosis and miasma and mausoleum and cadaver and morose and decrepit and stuff like that just so metal bands can expand their vocabulary
