Goodnight friends! Another wide open naked desert of a sky today–mercilessly blue, w/a merciless appetite for warmth. When I woke up, past the warmth of the covers the bedframe was almost icicle-cold.
I found the chill painful & enervating, & even though the day did gain a few °c my mind+body felt foggy & iced-over. This is a kind of fatigue that's a decade old, reliable. Not exactly friendly territory, but I have a map.
May we build within ourselves a store of joy, & let it shine through us.
"procedurally-generated" here in the broadest possible understanding (i.e., produced according to a system of rules to fit a constraint)—the artifacts themselves aren't necessarily computer-generated in the strictest sense.
it's becoming very clear that it's a privilege to have the literacy and time needed to distinguish between meaningful, genuine content and spam/troll trash—a privilege being systematically denied to some people for political reasons
technically, this isn't a one dollar patreon because the smut is behind a three dollar paywall, but I'd be happy if people wanted to check it out nonetheless 💕
This year we made up for a few years of not getting to the Mountain by spending a few days on it altogether. Here are photos from the second visit, with @rainhead
I just want to say first off, thank you everyone for passing my original post around! I’m about halfway to my goal, I hope to finish by the end of this week ✨

Thank you guys again 😭💖 this means so much to me, the hope of finally getting away from this job haha! #commission#signalboost#art
So, Inktober was great while it lasted, but it mixes pretty poorly with my compulsion to over-detail. This is why I'm doing a modified version of the Huevember challenge this month. Instead of dailies, I'm painting one piece for each week, with all 7 hues.
This is Dagr, the servant of the Norse goddess Sunna, who was given a shining horse and tasked with pulling the chariot of the sun around the earth every 24 hours. (Sunna also drives a solar chariot, because Norse mythology isn't very consistent, and the ancient world only had so many metaphors.)
Apart from his status as Sunna's attendant, we don't know a lot about Dagr. The Poetic Edda mentions him as the son of the god Delling and either Nott (night) or Jord. His horse's name is Skinfaxi.
Dagr was painted in Manga Studio 5/Clip Studio Paint, and the background patterns are modified from some extant tablet weaving patterns.
A better way of doing these long worldbuilding posts is probably just linking to my tumblr posts :')
These guys were originally mammal analogues like a lot of other stuff but I thought about it and decided that since they already had six legs I should lean into it and go outside my comfort zone… So they’re a little bit more like arthropods now.
Feels like #introductions redux time again! I'm James–UK-based #illustrator#mentalhealth struggler #zine fan+amateur #crab enthusiast. I like noodle soup, I have a broad yet extremely trivial knowledge base.
Most of my life has been thrown off the standard course by being bedbound for years after I was diagnosed w/severe #CFSME @ 14. I'm better but recently in the midst of a long #relapse following attaining a degree.
today I read that a juvenile #armadillo is called an #armadiglet, & I've been unable to confirm that *isn't* true, so please join me in making this real through our shared belief.
