Oh my god it’s done.
So been on a fanart-for-fanfic kind of kick and this one is inspired by/for @steelestingray‘s Of Kings and Curators! It’s been really refreshing just making things for things I like versus worrying about monetizing, cons and the like. I really enjoyed the mental image of Laurent having an aura that goes between gold and blush and blue and wanted to play around with it (the blue, I could lie and say was deliberate, but my brush flicked some ink. I just shrugged and went with it.)
I still feel like Laurent came out looking like a J Crew/LL Bean model mixed with a history T.A. with the sweater-vest but honestly, I’m glad I stuck with it.
Detail shot from the salt wash because I told myself I wouldn’t, but I have the impulse control of a toddler.
Graphite (2H and 2B,) watercolor (Daniel Smith,) Liquitex Iridescent Gold ink, and Pilot Iroshizuku inks in Kon-peki (Cerulean Blue) and Syoro (Dew on Pine Tree/a really lovely blue-green.)
Finished some example art cards for #realmscon: #nana from the manga and anime, #sollux from #homestuck #splatoon and #Lucina from #fireemblemawakening and #supersmashbros #marker #ink #pencil #artistsoninstagram #artistalley #artistsontumblr #artiststradingcards
I will no longer be using tumblr to write and post my content. Why?
Because I sometimes write adult content. Not only sexual content, but violence and other adult themes. Why do I write such things?
Because I have written them for years. Because, as a writer, life is not all rainbows and butterflies. I write books and stories about humans. There is sex, but also themes of death, violence and sadness. This is part of human nature.
Tumblr’s full-ban on adult content is one of the most ridiculous things that I have ever seen. This is their way of trying to clean up their self-created mess that will drive away large portions of their base, because “adult content” is more than just the annoying porn-bots.
Adult content, as we have seen, has hit things such as “Chronic pain” blogs but also blogs that are LGBT+ friendly. I’m queer and I have a chronic illness.
While my run on tumblr has been long, I am willing to move on from it. I lived through Strikethrough on LJ. I will survive this.
My friends, my fellow content creators, my readers, and anyone else who sees this— don’t delete your tumblrs. Leave them as skeletons. Allow tumblr to cannibalize itself and only leave the bones behind.
This really is Strikethrough 2.0.
Stay calm, and begin to back up everything.
Good luck, my loves.

my fic for the 2k18 capri big bang
Damianos, Captain of The Egeria and the Ellosean Sea.
Damen was a steadfast pirate with as much heart as devotion, as dedicated to his cause as he was to the sea. He was stronger than most, more loyal than any, and each new voyage filled him with something inimitable that no one else could understand, aside for perhaps his crew.
Every expedition was different, varying in length and difficulty, never to be predetermined. At the end of each there was time to recuperate, a chance for everyone to spend it as they saw fit before returning to reality. For Damen there was his private area on the rocks by the water where he found quiet, serenity, and a way to always be close to the ocean.
Until one night, he found something else, something new. An unearthly creature unlike any other, with a beauty that rivaled anything he had ever seen.
It would appear that mermaids were more than just a myth.
