surely im the first person to ever think of this #dispatch #memeedit #robertrobertsoniii #waterboy #waterboydispatch
an edited tumblr screenshot, the names and pictures have been changed to fit the characters. first is a post from "dispatcherIII" whose icon is the SDN logo from Robert's shirt, he posts a screenshot of text messages (with his and Waterboy's pictures next to the texts) where Robert asks "Do you know why Beef's head is so wet" and Waterboy responds "me i pet him wethands style". Below that it's reblogged by the same fictional tumblr user and he comments "here is beef" with a screenshot of Robert feeding Beef a slice of ham, and another of Robert holding Beef.

he's having a great time. see the full res version and all my stuff a week early over on my patreon! link in bio #oc #digitalart #guysbeingdudes #alstonturren #dndoc
A full color illustration of two identical men. They're both pale with brown eyes and brown hair. One is standing behind the other, winking and smiling at the camera, holding one arm out like he's taking a selfie, and the other is wrapped around the other man to hold a cigarette to his mouth. He's wearing a cropped tee that says "BABY SLUT" and aviator glasses, his hair is slicked back, he has dark clawed hands, and he has a mustache. The other man is staring off screen with a beleaguered look. He has stubble and his hair is wavy and loose. He wears a red button up, grey cardigan, half moon glasses, and a blue pendant. The rest of the image is stylized like a magazine collage with cut out letters above them reading "Give it up".

A full color illustration of a humanoid shadow monster holding onto a woman. The background is abstract blue. The woman has medium brown skin, curly brown hair, and brown eyes. She's standing with one arm held up at the wrist, and the other touching a hand on her shoulder. She wears a crocheted tunic dress, a beaded moon earring, blue eye shadow, and orange lipstick. Behind her is a grinning shadow monster, leering over her head, one hand on her wrist, and the other on her shoulder.

A little something for me! It's a project I've had on the back burner for a while, but since I just had a wedding to attend I finally got around to finishing it! You can see the full res pictures over on my patreon! #beading #beadart #beadedearrings #bolotie #beadedbolo #cardsuits #quadrants
A head on picture of a set of beaded earrings and bolo tie. They're themed after the cards suits, the earrings being a grey clubs symbol, and a pink diamond. While the bolo tie is a red heart with a black spade hanging from it. There's also a watermark for Dearfears. The same set but from a low angle.

A full color illustration of two women. One woman (Winter) is standing holding a pole off screen, and the other woman (Lynn) on her shoulder. Winter looks up to Lynn with a grin, holding onto her thigh. Lynn has one hand on Winter's shoulder, and the other on her hand. Winter is a wall woman with stone grey skin and rock like striation, black hair and eyes, wearing black lipstick, jeans, and a pink tank top. Her hair is in a braid that reaches her low back. Lynn is a tan woman with short brown hair and blue eyes, wearing a black crop tank top, a short blue skirt, white leg warmers, and sandals. She also has a scar visible from under her tank top.

Add It Up, Alston. #dndoc #illustration #digitalillustration #oc #digitalart #violentfemmes
A full color illustration of a man laying in a giant ring in front of a black background. He's laying with his legs and left arm dangling, looking toward the camera with a yearning expression, his right hand draped across his low stomach and groin. The whole drawing is in shades of pink and blue. He has short, slicked back hair, a mustache, and ample body hair. He's wearing several earrings, a mesh long sleeve, a bodice, shorts, socks, and ankle boots. His hands are clawed and wear several rings. Around him is text that reads: "Why can't I get just one screw? (Believe me, I know what to do.) But something won't let me make love to you."

A mirror selfie of me, I'm pale with short brown hair, wearing a brightly colored button up shirt patterned with drinks and citrus. I'm also wearing a bolo tie and earrings. A full color illustration of a humanoid shadow monster holding onto a woman. The background is abstract blue. The woman has medium brown skin, curly brown hair, and brown eyes. She's standing with one arm held up at the wrist, and the other touching a hand on her shoulder. She wears a crocheted tunic dress, a beaded moon earring, blue eye shadow, and orange lipstick. Behind her is a grinning shadow monster, leering over her head, one hand on her wrist, and the other on her shoulder. A beaded medallion that looks like a black and white beetle surrounded by stripes of green and purple. The body of the beetle is made of a black and white polished gemstone. A full color illustration of a top down view of three men sprawled on a bed cuddled together. You can see a wood floor, with a pink carpet on top, the bed is dressed with a striped comforter, and pillows of varying shades of purple. From left to right the men are: Weird Al, a hairy pale gnome man with slicked back brown hair and a thick mustache, his hands have dark claws, and he's wearing a tank top cropped to above his nipples that says "Imolia", a lace garter belt, white boxers, unbuttoned dark jeans, aviator glasses, and white socks. Weird al is laying on Sarahel's right shoulder and looking up at him with dark brown eyes. Next to him is Sarahel, an aasimar with gold skin and pointed ears. He has long maroon hair, and is wearing a lavender button up that's mostly unbuttoned to show his chest, green pants, and blue socks. He has the arm under Weird Al cocked to rest his hand behind his head, the other arm is draped over Alston's chest, he's looking down at Weird Al with golden eyes, and his legs are slightly crossed at the shin. Finally next to him is Alston, a gnome almost identical to Weird al, except his hair is down and wavy, he has no claws, and he has stubble instead of a mustache. He's wearing a red turtleneck patterned with tangerines, an argyle sweater vest, light wash jeans, half moon glasses, a dark ring, and purple socks. He's laid on Sarahel's stomach, looking up at him, with one hand on top of his, and the other draped on his leg.

What if they got a break? A moment to breathe in a field? Wouldn't it be nice? #malevolent #jarthur #privateeyes #johnmalevolent #arthurlester
A full color illustration of two figures laying in the grass and dandelions, one on top of the other. The figure on the bottom is a black silhouette with grey scars and large mask like eyes, John. He has his left hand on the other man, Arthur's, shoulder, and his right hand cupping Arthur's face and neck, looking down at his face. Arthur is a pale man with short, wavy, blond hair. He has a mustache, yellow eyes, and wears a white button up. He's looking up at John with wonder, his left hand resting on his chest, where you can see his pinky is actually a pitch black twig attached to his hand.
