an orange and white sketch of a misterican girl with long fluffy hair pulled into pigtails. She has bright green eyes and 3 crystal horns. She is wearing a necklace with two crystals on it. One is blue and the other is purple. She's wearing two shirts layered over each other. The background is white and she is drawn and shaded in orange except her eyes and her necklace

Do you realize society conditioned us as artists to hate our own work so it can justify devaluing our work and make us charge lower prices?

You literally created a little guy out of the thoughts in your brain with paper and a pen. No more self hating artist era. This is self loving artist era.

First time participating to a Jack of Art Trade !
Featuring @expressionbean.bsky.social 's Sielu !

Might not be as much as a doofus than he's supposed to be, BUT listening to cello gave me that vibe, so I HAD to use it-

Thanks to @jackofarttrades.bsky.social for hosting !

🎶🎶You got me wrapped around your finger, acting like a fool
Must've been the strings you pulled
Now it's clear, I can see the truth
I was just a puppet to you 🎶🎶

a scene on a red background with back lines running down the back of the scene. an OC, Sitriini Sinfonia is weeping and gritting his teeth with a scared expression and blood running out of his mouth from in between his teeth. His hands are covered in small cuts as he pulls at the collar and chain around his neck. His hands are trembling, as are his arms and shoulders. There is a single hand on the chain connected to the collar and it is pulling him forward. He is wearing a goldenrod button down shirt with three-quarter sleeves, deep grey wrist braces and a brown vest. The words "love" and "honor" are scratched into his right arm and "protection" and "devotion" are scratched into his left.

fun design things with sielu!! ref sheets done by @kiraelric.bsky.social .
page one of sielu's reference sheet. it has his name, aqua sielu, written in misterican text & english in the upper left. his color palette is done in music notes on the upper right. on the far right is a column of expressions. top to bottom, they are smiling, masked, and a height comparison of his silhouette and his student's. in the middle of the sheet is a front and back image of sielu in a relaxed pose. he wears a blue vest with yellow trim and lighter details, purple-blue (periwinkle) longsleeve button down, brown slacks, and dark brown dress shoes. he has pale skin, blue eyes, long and fluffy cyan hair kept in a high side ponytail, and three crystal green aventurine horns. the middle horn is shorter than the two longer horns. page 2 of the reference sheet. his name and palette are at the top. this page has design notes for some details. close up, there is an image of his necklaces. one is a violet crystal pendant on dark cord labeled 'soul gem from sydän' and the other is a white crystal pendant on silver chain labeled 'soul gem from pilvi'. they DO NOT come off. it also shows his choker (worn at all times), which is the color of his eye shade and a stripe of his eye color in the middle. he also has two earrings on his right ear, one orange music note and the other a light cyan round gem with misterica's crest in it. those are his bonding gem from sinfonia and his soul bind with pilvi. they DO NOT come off. it goes over the details of his mask, which shows that it collapses back when not in use, covers his ears, and dampens sound. it is a dark metal. his eyes are close-up here as well and show that his pupils are not black nor round, instead more like a cat's. it has sielu without the vest in the same button down, which has a gradient from periwinkle to a darker blueish color. it also has music notes in the pattern, faintly visible. on the right side are more expressions, one with his hair down and another where he's breathing out blue fog known as mist. his hair down rests between his shoulder blades. his mist is the same color as his hair and causes anyone who breathes it to be slowed down for a duration of time.

the great thing about having ADHD is that you can become a washing machine expert at a moment's notice (if my washer doesn't unlock i am going to disassemble the fucking door i want my clothes)

if you start making excuses to be ableist and refuse to use any form of alt text ever because you're "not good at it" or some other petty BS, maybe do the bare minimum and TRY. you are NOT welcome on my page otherwise. ableist jerks get blocked.

current WIP :-) fits perfectly with the prompt imo #WIPSnips #writesky #ocsky
It's the first time he's locked his door in years. The room that greets him feels more oppressive than it does welcoming. It's painfully empty like it usually is. Once upon a time, he could at least say it wasn't so depressing and lonely in here, but that was... decades ago, now.

just got my TDAP vaccine up to date. y'all remember to get that one if you're overdue and not allergic/unable to get it! it's not very painful and it's definitely 1000% better than getting tetanus.

it depends on the person, honestly. sielu doesn't trust easily and isn't inclined to talk to strangers, especially those outside his species. he's very much "wouldn't you like to know?" about it when it comes to most people.
