oil pastel rough drawing of a werewolf
just a reminder that my art commissions are open! message me anywhere for more info - but if you're interested in OC sheets, D&D character designs, cityscapes, monster art, etc., I'm happy to provide!
here are some of my pieces as a reference:
drawing of an elf that i'm taking to a competition very soon - will let you all know how it goes! inspired by the elves in the LOTR series, and the concept of infection in general. the final image almost looks inverted with the colors i chose, which i love because of how it adds to the unsettling feeling

TWITCH – I’m a beginner VTuber and streamer! Mostly chill games with friends (Raft, Minecraft, etc.) or solo/duo art streams! Gaming streams every Saturday at 7-9pm central, and random solo art streams throughout the week!
YOUTUBE – I post all my Twitch VODs here every Monday at 4pm central! I’m also starting to post occasional speedpaints, so check those out!
DISCORD SERVER – For my Twitch and YouTube followers, plus commission info! Mostly just my stream friends and moderators right now, but I encourage you to build a community there!
DEVIANTART – I semi-regularly dump all my art here, pretty similar to this blog, so follow me there too! As a reminder, my commissions are open!! But DeviantArt isn't the best place to contact me, so probably try somewhere else.
PINTEREST – I sometimes post art, but I mostly use it to save references for my drawings. Super organized and full of helpful stuff, so feel free to use my account as a tool, fellow artists!
CARA – I try to post my best art here to make a digital portfolio for myself! Again, commissions are open!
SPOTIFY – Just in case you're curious about what I listen to! Lots of metal, stoner rock, hard rock, indie, etc.

the 2am urge to paint
based on a screenshot of the nether in Minecraft. the basalt deltas are one of my favorite biomes. it's so simple and barren, but it's oddly calm, especially with the ash floating in the air. i wasn't really sure how to portray the glowstone, so it's a little bright, but other than that I'm very happy with how it turned out
i'm back with another version of this ao3 skin! this time i've made a vibrant neon version. only use if you're fine with your eyes falling out. the image i used for the header is "Pattern Galaxy Space Planets Neon Universe" by Arncil on Redbubble

ao3 skin that i made!! (copy code under "keep reading")
it's a messy combination of pieces of code from other people's skins and my own changes
the header image is NOT MINE! it is "Pattern Galaxy Space Planets Vibrant Linear Universe" by Arncil on Redbubble, which i just used as an example for an image you could use!
here are some of the skins that i can remember using as part of this, but i've been building it for years so forgive me if i forget some:
Shortening long tag fields by Xparrot (on ao3)
Slim Shaded by AO3 (on ao3)
Lily Garden by tealtiam (on Tumblr)
AO3 Tag category coloring! by ao3css (on Tumblr)
come back here to my tips or leave a comment if you need some help customizing the code!
Background color: #26303C
Text color: #CBC6C3
Header color: #46626D
Accent color: #993F33
steps to create a new skin using this code:
log into ao3 account
go to dashboard >> skins
click "create site skin"
make sure TYPE is "site skin"
add a unique title
copy all code below
paste into field 'CSS'
click on "use wizard" at the top
copy and paste the four colors written above into their corresponding boxes
click SUBMIT
click USE
how to customize this skin:
FONT SIZE: at the very top of the code, change the "90%" to be bigger or smaller to change the font size within a fic
MAIN COLORS: to change the main colors, select "use wizard" when editing the skin and replace any of the four hex codes under "Background color:", "Text color:", "Header color:", and "Accent color:"
SECONDARY COLORS: find all hex codes within the code and change those numbers as you like! i changed all colors to match with the color palette of the header photo that i chose to make it feel cohesive
TAG COLORS: towards the end, the "relationship", "character", and "freeform" tags alternate three colors to make them easy to separate. in this skin they are all very similar, so you can change those to be whatever colors you like!
HEADER PHOTO: find the link towards the end of the code right before the warning tags and replace it with a link to any photo you like! it loops, so you don't have to worry about sizing or anything
FONT: i'm unsure how exactly to do this, but the in-fic font is currently set to Georgia Serif, so i suppose just go find that and replace it with your preferred font!
BORDER STYLES: wherever you see the code "border-style:", replace the word that comes after it with one of these options: none, solid, dashed, dotted, double, groove, ridge, inset, outset, or hidden
WARNING TAGS: at the very end of the code is a list of words or phrases that, when they appear in the tags of a fic, are highlighted in a contrasting color so that they are easy to avoid if necessary. you can add or remove those tags however you like, or change the warning color!

this is the funniest fucking thing ever read
I like the idea of grey aliens having crazy frantic sex without any erogenous zones or sex organs. Like just jumping up and down on each others heads and pulling each other around by the feet
oh that sounds awesome actually?? if i don't do that for this painting I'll definitely experiment with it sometime! thanks for the tip!
