So I Asked What You Wanted Me To Do To Celebrate A Tumblr Milestone

How's the writing going, you say?

I was typing out my novel on my phone, looked up, and saw this. To clarify, I meant satin-LINED cavity, describing a casket.

Well, I hit my head on a toilet water tank today, so I can't expect myself to act rationally.

The story is about a vampire opera house. I played with the idea of adding Erik into it, but I didn't expect him to pop up out of nowhere to give one of my characters a house tour.

I think he wants to kill the vampires now, and I don't know what to do. How little control I actually have over my writing never fails to surprise me.

(More gremlin sphynx cat Erik here, fancy hat cowboy Phantom here)

ARGH.

Original posts: Nosferatu here and Lescat here.

Thank all of you who pressed the little funny buttons!

I have returned from the dead cinema. For those who missed the news, I went to see Nosferatu with my mum. Which is discouraged unless your mum is a funny one.

Without further ado, I present the popularly requested What my mum said about Nosferatu:

"There isn't enough of Nosferatu. The director must have run out of money."

"I don't like the crunchy noise he makes when he bites people. It isn't elegant, and he's supposed to be a nobleman." (Cue us joking that it's the sound of Orlok's teeth falling out. Chaotic humour is a family trait, I'm afraid.)

"Does the professor die?" Me: "Noooo, unless Thomas threw him out the window right after the end." Her: "Thomas, lock him in the chapel."

"It's a shame Ellen's friend dies. She has such nice clothes."

*Sailor hammering open Orlok's crate.* "C'mon, he's not at home!"

"Did Thomas get the bag of gold, at least?"

If a pole dancing vampire isn't what you wanted to see today, you know better now, yes?

My vampire Pierce knows how to pole dance. I'm not sure what to do with that information, but it's there. He did ballet, that's actually plot relevant, but this... Well, he's having fun.

(I have a lot of less unhinged WIPs on the way, but I'm low on vivacity right now, I need to drink blood)

He's here, the Woolly Phantom of the opera.

He looks proper annoyed.

L-R: Cherik-style mask, fake nose, angry skull.

Boots appreciation:

See my other Woolly Monster, Krissy the Nosferatu, here!

#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)

C'est le mien !

Doing colouring as a kid, I always ignored instructions and drew snot and tears on all the things with faces. To stop old habits from popping out, I traced this with baking paper against my phone, then traced that with watercolour paper against my desk lamp. It hurt my arms, so I filled in the details freestyle, I hope it worked! Phans with a printer, follow instructions now!

Colour it in your style!

Well, originally this was my valentine's day drawing.... buuuuut i hate christines pose, and then i gave up.

Well, iiiiiiiiif you want, download it, print it out, colour it in your style :-)

Credit me, so i can see what you did 😍 have fun!

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.

@blackforrestpunk asked @vladimirsangel for a Dracula pinup. Who am I if not a provider of cursed things?

Don't let Aurik see this, please, I have no intention of horrifying him. Unless he wants it for his collection.

Monster pinups are a thing now. Oh yes, I still owe Vlad a Gossamer pinup. (Why is this my life now?) Grinch pinup here.
