Currently in a phase where I hate every single line I draw. Would really like that to stop being the case. Hoping that complaining about it here makes it go away.

If you're waiting on art from me, I am still working on it, I've just disliked everything I've made for the last two weeks. 🙃

Aw darn it. I'm sorry to hear that!

mossgroves 💖 | comms OPEN! @mossgroves.bsky.social · 1d

Yes

Try insta again. I finally just got their attention over there and got a refund.

Try insta again. I seem to have finally got their attention over there this morning and they say they've issued a refund. Waiting for confirmation now.

I finally managed to get a hold of Cookiestraw today on Instagram. If you're one of the people who never got their order I would recommend DMing them there. They're actively answering me.

mossgroves 💖 | comms OPEN! @mossgroves.bsky.social · 14d

I really didn't want to make this post, but our DM's haven't been answered so I don't know what else to do. Our order from @cookiestraw.bsky.social never shipped and it's been nearly a whole year since we ordered it. At this point I just want a refund. Just a really disappointing experience.

Exactly. Shit happens. Just refund people. Seems like there are quite a few of us 🥲

mossgroves 💖 | comms OPEN! @mossgroves.bsky.social · 1d

You too eh? Unsurprisingly I haven't heard a word since posting this. We've absolutely been scammed.

Hell yeah, me please! Would love to get some folks up here!

mossgroves 💖 | comms OPEN! @mossgroves.bsky.social · 2d

Thank you! It's quite a serious job so they're vetting me very thoroughly. I get it but it's exhausting. 😅

mossgroves 💖 | comms OPEN! @mossgroves.bsky.social · 2d

Made it to the FOURTH interview for this job! They say this is the final one so I just need to not drop the ball at the last second. 🙏

I'm waiting to hear back about a job that seems really good and my brain is just buzzing. I've done three interviews for it now and I just need to hear back one way or another. C'mooooon.

"EDWARD!"

Here's stock photo studies while I was playing D&D tonight.

Drawing of Ed and Stede from Our Flag Means Death. Ed is naked and jumping into water. Stede is in way and is going to get splatted by his hurdling naked boyfriend. Is he terrified? Is he a little turned on? Yes.

A digital drawing of Stede Bonnet from Our Flag Means Death in a late 60s or early 70s version of the cursed red suit. He’s smoking a cigarette and looking dapper. There’s a blurry multicolor background.

Five coloured sketches of the progression of Stede's outfits through the series.
First sketch: Stede walking around with the potted fern and a quill pen, wearing a light teal vest and breeches over a white shirt and stockings.
Second sketch: Stede kneeling in shock in front of the weapon that Chauncy used, his clothes from the privateer academy rumpled and dirty.
Third sketch: Stede in his celebrity pirate era, with a dark teal shirt that shows off his chest, brown leather pants and boots and a sword belt. He's winking off to his right, holding onto a rope with his left hand and his right is resting on the hilt of his sword.
Fourth sketch: Stede is back in his soft fabrics, in blue cotton pants, leather boots and a linen shirt that's wide open and sliding off his shoulders, showing bites and kisses left by Ed. In his hands he's holding onto the pink robe with a soft smile on his face.
Fifth sketch: Stede finds a middle ground in his wardrobe, mixing the softness of fine fabrics with the practicality of leather. He kept the loose shirt wide open over his chest, with shiny pearl and gold necklaces framing his neckline. He's kneeling with one leg on a stool, leather pants soft and stretching in his pose, and buttery gold leather boots adding a pop of colour to his outfit. His upper body is draped over the counter as he smiles coily at his companion (who's not in frame but is definitely Ed)

The last week has been one of the most stressful weeks ever but I think it's all resolved now and I can breathe again. Looking forward to getting back to commissions today.

“There. Much better” Ed whispered softly as he rested his chin on Stede’s shoulder.

Boyfriend's pockets are the best pockets. Ed says so. Got to do an illustration for @watchtheflow.bsky.social's toasty sweet 'Bonfire Night'! 🧡

#ofmd #OurFlagMeansDeath

Drawing of Ed and Stede from Our Flag Means Death. They're wearing modern warm clothing; coats and scarf and gloves. Ed is resting his chin on Stede's shoulder as he shoves his hands into Stede's coat pockets from behind. Stede is giggling, all crinkly eyes and dimples. The night is cold enough for their breath to show and they're lit from below from a nearby bonfire. They're as sticky toasty sweet as smores.

I miss waking up with my body shaking with anticipation at 4am to watch the season 2 episodes. I hate waking up at the crack of dawn but I hope I get to do it again for season 3 one day 🥺💜
