Some Silkwing Doodles

The quality on tumblr is fucking sick, heres another drawing i did for a dtiys on insta, its also a scene from the WOF novel (wings of fire)

Muppet is a great name for a chicken

My friends, it’s a very special day - Muppet laid her very first egg! It was absolutely amazing to see her hatch and grow up from a tiny chick into a lovely little pullet, and now she’s laying eggs of her own! I’m so thankful that I get to share a life with these precious animals.

about to drop literally the sickest insider knowledge you will ever receive pls use it responsibly:

are you a teenager? do you wish you had the space & resources & organization to do a thing, whether that's an anime club or a movie night or a big craft workshop or creative writing group or literally whatever? would you like to do your thing totally for free? yes?

okay, then bring it up to a librarian

seriously, teenagers are the absolute hardest group to engage at most libraries & we'll often organize programs that absolutely no one will show up to & it sucks. if you go up to a public librarian & say "hey, some friends & i want to do this thing. does that sound like a feasible teen program for the library?" most people will move heaven & earth to pull it off for you because we know there's an interest in our community. we will go balls to the freaking wall to make it happen

do you want a cosplay contest? a video game tournament? a free escape room? bring it up to the library. it's not a burden or an annoyance at all. it'll be like christmas came early for us

Sorry for double posting but APPARENTLY those commission scammers have showed up on Tumblr at least for the first time for me.

For those who don’t know what I am talking about, there were/are commission scams going on in Instagram and even places like Artstation where people would pretend to be interested in your work and try to commission a pet or portrait for the sake of trying to get your bank details. Here’s how to (somewhat) sniff them out:

1- They don’t seem to be an average customer/ person that would be involved in your fandom, or has a blank template for an account or don’t even follow you.

2- They ask you to draw a portrait or a pet picture either for themselves or their children/family.

3- They promise to overpay you (in the hundreds) and do not listen to you even if you firmly state the price is cheaper.

4- They are constantly asking for your email name, or private details regarding things like banking details or passwords or other private information others should not know.

5- They try and over reassure you they mean no harm, try to guilt you into giving them the info, or become aggressive over you not giving them what they want.

What should you do if you come across one of these guys? My best advice is to block and report. Sadly these people jump account to account so there isn’t really much to do other than spread this info to prevent artists from being scammed.

They De-Tumblrized Ms. Frizzle

This guy isn't really a character, just a different angle I wanted to practice. I love night wings with green undertones. But the detective character I made with the browns surprised me with how good the colors look.

Gah! I. Must. Fight. The. Art. Block!

Anyways this is my ice/rain wing hybrid. I like the idea of her true feelings/colors being obscured by her icelike scales, but still visible.

She swims too. Just in case you thought you were safe.

No name yet. I'm bad at names.
