I haven't spent much of my vacation on art, but I managed to make a lot of new jewelry 🥺 I'll probably put them in the shop after the convention in November, but since we made WAY TOO MUCH, I'll perhaps update the shop sooner than that with other stuff 🤣
These are just a few new items 🥰
#JustArt

A winter-themed bracelet. It has clear pearls looking like ice, white-ish and blue-ish. Little charms with a snowflake, stars, and a drop are attached to it, as well as a little chain.

Three sets of earrings with the same concept with different colours. Circles out of glass pearls, with small leaves and a flower attached, hang from a bow-shaped earring piece. Once set is in blue hues, another in pink, and one red-black.

A set of earrings consisting of many pink flowers.

Various earrings, charms and necklaces. Some charms and earrings are jellyfish shaped, others are flowery. A choker/necklace is Fenn-inspired with blue stones, black feather-charms and golden pearls.

Teal ☆ birthday!!! ☆ @harpytea.bsky.social · 1d

Its my birthday!!! As is bsky tradition, I would be so appreciative if people would share some of my art to help celebrate!! 🥳🎉

Symmetrical bust of a yellow tiefling. She has vitiligo on the left side of her face going all the way up her horn. Her hair is in large silver ringlets, and her horns curl in a corkscrew pattern. She’s wearing a large jesters collar with ruffles underneath.

My character Odd, a pink skinned astral elf with scars on her wrists, the side of her face, and one large spider webbed scar in the center of her chest. She has shaggy wolf cut styled white hair, with two long strands on either side of her face trailing down to her chest. Her ears are long and end in two antenna like points. Her eyes are small galaxies with bright stars as the pupils. Her index finger is cut, bright silvery glowing blood, like molten starlight, is seeping out and dripping down to form an arrow.she is dressed in a loose flowy shirt, and a large fur trimmed winter coat.

A drawing of a redhead woman, in a book shop, looking about a shelf and has a transparent hand emitting magic. She is dressed in Victorian period clothing, and gentle light shines in from above

Work in progress of my water witch, Whinifryd, wading in a pond with frogs all around her and the sun shining from behind.

Found this on the AO3 subreddit, and I'm about to let it change my whole life (or at least work really hard to internalize it wrt my writing).

Someone's screenshot of a two-post twitter thread, from user blue (@bluewmist):

the fastest way to kill motivation is to make your identity depend on the outcome. it's called ego involvement. when failing becomes failing as a person, your brain starts avoiding the whole thing. not because you don't care, but because you care too much.

you don't need lower standards. you need less self-worth tangled up in your goals. the work gets easier when it's not about proving who you are.

Fearless and undefined, this is what it sounds like 🌹✨ #art #kpdh

Illustration of Rumi from kpop demon hunters standing straight on, resting her jinu-form sword across her shoulders with a playful smirk. Her long purple braid sways in an S-shape behind her. She wears a white cropped tank top and high rise white shorts with golden accents—it looks similar to her finale outfit but is mostly made up. Her demon markings are on proud display and glowing in a range of colours

#artfight revenge for @perpetualpeep.bsky.social of Rudy and Stinky shopping

A three panel comic with two figures standing in the toy isle in a store. The first figure is a humanoid with green hair and clothing, striped horns, and wearing a pot on his head. He stands smiling, holding out a rubix cube to the second figure. He asks "have you ever solved a rubix cube before?" The second figure, a larger, pointy guy in all red responds "No, never. You know, humans used to think giving a demon a puzzle would distract the demon from harming them." In the second panel, the first figure is now a bit surprised. "Is that true?" The second figure, now holding the rubix cube, responds nonchalantly "Well, I never put any stock in superstition" in the third panel, the first figure is now clearly uncomfortable "well, I can just pop it back on the shelf" the second figure is now staring intently at the handheld puzzle and playing with it, responding "Dont be silly, I haven't solved it yet"

And when did I start looking at you differently, too?

Busts of Alekos and Booker looking at each other— Alekos looks nervous, and Booker looks flustered. Both framed by the words “When did you start looking at me like this?”
