Find what you're looking for, but don't let the colors distract you... I've never participated in this before! It was a lot of fun and I tried to take myself out of my comfort zone -my brain said 'turn the pose upside down' 😂 That's what practice is for though! 💖 #truerefdt016 #digitalart ✨💜🩷💛✨
Small little animation I was messing around with~ I always seem to draw Colum in fields lol #animation #originalart #thepoisonerspiece
Happy Father's Day to everyone except him 😤😤 #digitalart #originalcharacter #thepoisonerspiece
They both are! 🥰🎉 Colum is gay and Teagan is bi! 💖
Did a mini painting as a practice for the big one… I forgot how much I missed paints 😭😭 #painting #landscapes #acrylic
Full image drops next week on Patreon 👀👀 Teagan deserves to be spoiled, dammit 😂😇💖 #originalcharacter #digitalart #art #yaoi #preview
#wip of a nsfw image for Patreon - Teagan won't get a response because Colum has very good manners: he doesn't talk when his mouth is full. 😇😇 (ba dum tiss) #yaoi #digitalart
Recently, I participated in a Magical Girl collab through @collabcarnival.bsky.social and hosted by Feather! You can find the full collab here: collabcarnival.weebly.com/magical-outf... Look at all those great outfits! I had SO MUCH FUN putting Teagan in an outfit - and a Sailor Moon reference 😂
But in the village, Ada, the village elder, speaks fondly to Colum about his mother. Colum gives Ada the grace to speak openly about her - and we learn that Ada understands she cannot see Ophelia any longer, as it makes Ophelia feel worse. But she admits that those in love often suffer together.
So why is she so cold? There are some hints scattered in dialogue. In Burrafirth, we learn that King Alistair was greatly admired because he produced an heir not even a year after his marriage to Ophelia.
The next time we 'see' Colum's mother, Queen Ophelia, it is in a flashback where she coldly seems to wish death upon her own son - the only heir of King Alistair - the duty required of her to this kingdom. Mother Fiona says she's going to tell Alistair that Ophelia was there; he won't be happy.
Teagan is baffled that people are forced to do this and I think in the scope of the story, it's an easy sentiment to wave off since Colum is so determined. Colum reaffirms to Teagan that he hates the duty required of him - but admits he has seen what duty does to those who love differently...
Nerding out for a moment here - As 'The Poisoner's Piece' expands, Colum's main problem is explored: he does not wish to have an heir. Monarchs have loveless marriages and create blood heirs, as it creates a peaceful transition of power for the kingdom, but Colum is breaking the pattern.
The Poisoner's Piece has updated!! The slow burn romance has finally got some wheels - I had too much fun making this chapter 😂👀💖 Check it out here! www.webtoons.com/en/canvas/th... #originalcomic #comic #webtoon #thepoisonerspiece #update
A rough template of some upcoming characters/creatures for The Poisoner's Piece! I've been waitinggggg for this part of the arc - I feel like it's a great area to experiment 😂👀 #digitalart #charactercreation #webtooncanvas
And out of nowhere, this crazy ship was born - Eevla and Cassius fell in love and got married. They now have a kid together. Also, when they speak to other people, the other people get sad. ...Why do I kinda' like the ship though lol
Teagan gets married to Colum...then proceeds to invite Miss Laoghaire to live with them. Then Cassius. Then Eevla. Boy STOP IT.
Colum singing to his fiance (Hestia) about Teagan - sorry girl, but he's only got eyes for one fella lol I beg Eevla to keep my writing style a secret...
Recently, I threw my back out - my partner surprised me with Tomodachi Life while I was stuck in bed/wobbling around! The absolute DRAMA that goes on in this game - I love it!! Here's a fun little thread of some of what's happened: Teagan IMMEDIATELY fell in love with Colum. So fitting.
The Poisoner's Piece is back after a break!! 🎉🎉 I'm so excited to share chapters again - we last left off at a rather dramatic part, too... 👀👀 www.webtoons.com/en/canvas/th... #originalcomic #comic #webtoon #thepoisonerspiece #update
It feels like it took a lifetime to build up this small buffer - and now I'm at a chapter I have been REALLY looking forward to!! The slow burn romance is going to catch a bit of fire! 😈🔥 I can't wait for episodes to resume! 🎉
He's actually meant to be misunderstood at first! My worry is that he'll continue to be misunderstood throughout the story... Hopefully not, though!
[Part 1] The entity might not be happy, but some rabbits can be hunted another day... 🐇✨ I had too much fun with this! 😌💖 #deadbydaylight #fanart #comic #thehuntress #somacruz #deadbydaylightfanart
Cover created for the wonderful @littlebit328.bsky.social and her book 'The Assassin's Revenge'! Definitely worth checking out - and this was such a fun cover to create! Thanks for letting me spread my creative wings, Sara! 🎉😂 #digitalart #commission #bookcover #fantasy
I had a BLAST with this DnD Tavern scene commission! The characters are so unique and I loved getting to go through their details. It's always neat to look back on the process, too! 🎉 #dnd #commission #digitalart
Just a little over three weeks away! 🎉
I wasn't able to create a Valentine's Day image this year but I'll throw in a blast from the past - one of my favorite pieces for a collab based on a romance novel cover theme! 💖 💖 Happy Valentine's Day! 💖
