Herrrreeeee's Gengar! Colored in with alcohol inks & colored pencils (Because, getting the knock-off brands of alcohol ink markers, they never do a good midtone purple - only ever very pastel or oversaturated & dark). Still an inking challenge, but sometimes that final lap will be some dry media.

An ink illustration, with alcohol ink and color pencil colors, of Gengar doing a little front wheel landing on a skateboard.

I'm really built like this by the way (huge feet, mostly leg, constant anxious shaking)

I can draw whatever I want

So I drew myself getting menaced by a giantess 🖤

A pencil drawing of a woman with dark curly hair, dressed only in a bra, short skirt, and heels, her wrists bound by cuffs. Above her looms a massive hand with sharp, pointed nails, fingertips brushing the top of her head. She is shaking, sweating, breathing heavily as she watches the hand descend upon her with anticipation.

They Want Monsters

Pencil drawing of a woman floating in a curled pose holding her right leg to her chest, her hair falling in a curtain as she tilts her head, a long tail curling underneath her. In the bottom left corner is the text "They Want Monsters"

Time for a new pinned post because I'm working writer and I need to remember that.

I write about vampires and werewolves doing violent things to eugenicists and fascists, and also about lesbians either being monsters or dealing with monsters (however you might define “monster”).

7 of 30 kinktober prompts, (7 of 15 for this thread), this one being:
OPEN

an ink illustration of a woman laid out on a pornography shop's check out counter. She has her hair in a bun and her head rested back against the register. She wears thin-rimmed glasses, a thin blouse that her nipples show through, a high-waisted pencil skirt rucked up to her butt cheeks, a damp thong, and loafer-top heels that she has almost half kicked off as she waves one leg at the viewer. With one hand she avidly reads a paperback novel titled 'Beastly Liasons' and she fiddles with the edge of her pencil skirt with the other hand. Various adult magazines, vhs tapes, condoms, and sex toys surround the counter in small displays, and a curtain hides an employee back room. Right in front of her spread legs sits a metal counter bell, and a slightly wrinkled post-it note that says 'ring bell 4 service'.
