i will also be selling this, along with all my other zines and comics and stickers and stuff at Helsinki Comics Festival Zine Fest! on Saturday 19th! do come find me and take a look at it in person, i always intend my zines to be physical objects, a PDF just never quite feels the same

meant to put carnal virtues up like a month ago, but you know, life.. but it's also been fun sharing it exclusively in person for the first months of its existence :Dc

i’ve made a new zine…. i’ll be debuting the physical version at Ropecon this weekend (table E411 on friday!) but soon after i’ll make a PDF version available on itch too it’s got queens and knights and nuns and sexy medievalism

i’ve been working on this on and off since publishing elemental last year, feels very good to get it out! my most ambitious project yet and first one ive gotten actually printed instead of DIYing it at home and it looks so nvery good

again i know i don't need to explaing why i'm posting but i'll do it anyway: i'm planning on applying to table at three local cons this year and ALL OF THEM have their application periods this month :') so i'm trying to finish the many, many sketches i've had for prints and merch...

since i post stuff online so infrequently nowadays i feel like every time i do pop on here i need to explain myself lmao i've been on a medieval kick lately, got my medication in order, have plans to table at some local cons this year, drawing feels like working on my *craft* again, it's nice

every medievally inspired artist must eventually make a pastiche of their favourite piece of medieval art not very hard to guess which one's mine 🩸🦄🌷

fun fact: this was the last page (or spread, since the whole zine is meant to be viewed as spreads) i drew after i already thought i was finished, because the print version would've ended up with empty pages otherwise. ended up being my favourite!

i considered adding a jokey content warning about blasphemy on the book of elemental humors, since it included some religious imagery, but eventually decided not to, since it was just vibes mostly am now on the seventh illustration of the next zine that's got a nun or a monk fucking

I know we're upset about itch, but they're not the only ones Payment processors harassed companies bc of a 1,000 email hate campaign But we can EASILY top 1,000! I prewrote an email + got the contact info - you just have to send! ↻💬♡ to boost We CAN make a difference 💕 #itch #censorship 1/🧵

If you want to actually solve the problem, instead of punishing itch, start calling payment cos Collective Shout, which is run by people who get published by Spinifex, a very terf-seeming organization, apparently needed 1,000 people to yell at visa to get this done. We got more than 1000 people.

The fact we've been able to trust them to do the right thing for so long doesn't make this an indictment of Itch, but instead a sign of how absolutely dire the situation is.

use your fucking brains. you praise and love itch for years and years and the moment their hand is forced by a well-known morally evil third-party, you instantly turn on itch instead of target the real enemy. you stupid fickle dipshits are just desperate for something to lash out against

i also spent like 7h nonstop re-formatting my old zines for print, turns out when you don’t plan for print from the get go, your zines may not work for print without significant edits! shocking but now i have five whole zines ready to print when it’s not 1:46AM

printed the first tests of elemental humors today on our new printer… turned out crusty as hell and needs trimming on the edges, but i drew this with a paper copy in mind first and foremost, so it’s v exciting to finally see it realized 8)

this is like the millionth time i make the mistake of formatting an itch profile URL as itch/username and not username.itch….. and i put it in the goddamn image….. anyway disregard that

a fallout AU of any given OC is a must for me, and i’m extremely surprised it took so long with river. she’s undead, of COURSE i gotta ghoulify her. also i never see fat ghouls and this too is an injustice i must fix myself

both of them grew up in a isolationist brotherhood chapter (a la the mojave) and manon is now a followers doctor to repent for perceived sins in her youth. river on the other hand never learnt a way of life other than violence (as usual)

i am still so sad we never got to meet verin in canon, bc i *immensely* enjoy when characters who are as cool and composed as essek regress back into petty teenagers with their siblings. and a jock-nerd brother dynamic on top of it is even better… i would’ve liked to see it….
