Ages Has Passed, And Now He's Looking At The Even Bigger Box That Says 'Series'.

#StarterPackNoAI

I come with necessities.

It's sad to think that AI art trends will probably be around for a good long while. Let's make sure that we can beat it back with counter-trends. Here's my small and silly contribution to #StarterPackNoAI.

Really, people, if you want to see starter pack art, ask me! I'd draw it. It might look wonky and full of jokes, but on the bright side, I don't charge you for works made of mashed-up stolen art, which is all generative AI does (a tip would be nice though)

When I say I'm leaving you an inheritance of vampire jewellery, this is what I mean

Feed your vampire before you... frappé... them

Don't like frappuchinos? Have a juice box

I have also made fang rings, bat earrings, and a muscle bunny armour pendant. Oh, can't forget the nosferatu bag. I think being subtle about my preferences might not be my strong suit.

I really like your poto cat drawings! They are very very cute! I hope you do not mind me drawing them!

GREMLIN! FLOOF! Come and look at this!

Mind?! You don't understand, I was giggling and physically, actually kicking my feet when I saw this!

Ooohhhh, it's so soft and sweet! Erik has his tiny forehead hairs and his tuxedo, and the Persian is big and fluffy and Putting Up with Shenanigans!

More Pharoga cats here, I NEED to draw more of the Daroga, it's unacceptable that I've neglected him, here's him having an interview with Leroux.

Thank you, Tumblr, for showing me ads I absolutely don't want to see. I mean it in the most unironic way possible.

Maybe I'm a paranoid mediaeval minion, but I get absolutely horrified whenever an Internet platforms shows me ads featuring something I searched for just once, seconds ago, on another platform. It makes me feel stalked.

(Unimpressed cat is Daniel Meowlloy from my Interview with the Vampurr "Disregard!" comic)

Christine takes Erik shopping for his "birthday." (See Erik's Shopping Nose in action!)

I had the urge to write this in French. Désolée if there's any atrocities or if you can't understand it. English transcript in the ALT!

And this is probably the only time you'll ever see Mall Phanton Eric since I'm not the slasher kind of person. Get Erik with a C far away from me.

More PoTO cat comics here!

@cecil-87 This scene when he took off one mask to reveal another mask beneath it had me on the edge of my seat. I went from 'Wait, are we going to see his face this early?' to laughing my head off so fast.

This is not a Christmas ghost...

Today on the Goober Cat advent calendar! Leroux's Erik doesn't like the mask, but I'm sure 1990 Erik would. He's got many fancy masks, after all.

Thank you to everyone who showed the Persian love! @jennyfair7 @angel-with-paper-wings @differenceenginegirl @lokislynx your reblogs are delightful!

More Phantom: Cowboy (Cowcat) of the Opera, more Cherik here!

Fictional love interests, we have beef!

Guess what suckers, my application to be the lady lead in a novel has been rejected again. Maybe because I tormented the gentleman lead for wearing a dark t-shirt and jeans.

What do you mean the best I could hope for is an Armani suit?

Villain arc it is, then.

(In all seriousness, I have nothing against people who dress like this. What gets on my nerves is that there is only one type of "attractive" on the fiction market. It's true, "don't like don't read," but I'm having a hard time finding writing I do like because they're all copycats of each other - yet they all try to frame those leads as "special," "The One," "the Exception," "he's not just A Guy" - actual phrasing I've seen in an actual publication - and it just gets tiring and puts me in a sarcastic mood.)

You'll tell them, Pierce. Show them those, um, ballet flats.

What's the tea? (News!)

Good morrow!

Here, I get up to shenanigans with fellow artists, review and ramble, post my writing, crafts and PoTO art because reasons.

My main blogs:

Book/history blog: @purrlockholmesbooksblog

Main art blog: @purrlockholmesbooks

My Gothic literature fanfic Gothic Tales from Melancholia is on AO3

The illustrated t-shirt does exist.

What I welcome in my ask box:

-Art requests are always welcome! I mainly draw, but will also get (hand)crafty if you have good, or unhinged, ideas.

-Asks about drawings, writing, OCs and projects.

-Asks for opinions/reviews of books, films, etc. I love researching and jabbering about my findings.

-Personal questions that won't help any unsavoury individuals to find me in real life (i.e., by all means ask me about my existential crises, but not about my nationality).

This vampurr feels like she's just been sucker-punched with a potato sack of garlic.

2024 probably thought it was too good to me and HAD to go out with a Parthian shot. Well, at least I got to finish a good vampire podcast in one sitting. Happy New Year, people.

Always delightful when my friends throw me under the bus for inspiring unhinged ideas.

Look at him, he's Goth and cool and Eldritch, unlike my silly goober

@purrlockswatson made me do it
