Hey peeps!
So hey! That was one hell of a Nuts & Dolts Week! Huge props to everyone who participated in this lovely week, because goddammit I desperately needed the serotonin
(Also sorry I couldn’t do all the prompts! I still had some timing issues and couldn’t get everything done when I wanted it to be. Sorry!!)
Anyhoo, here we are! First kiss
I really wanted this piece to be special, so I went ham on absolutely everything
I concepted Vacuo Outfits! I nitpicked every little pose/position! I made sure the facial expressions were perfect! I had really fun lighting! Background could be better but who cares! Let these girls be happy dammit!!
So yeah!
Happy Nuts and Dolts Week, and I can’t wait for next year!

Full cover for my senior thesis comic Rhaco: Geckos of New Caledonia
A children’s edufantasy starring three young geckos learning their place within their community, the ecosystem New Caledonia— and protecting musical ghosts from a mysterious threat through lessons in Song magic!
The main characters are Ves the crested gecko, his best friend Bram the chahoua, and his little half-brother Srax (also crested gecko). In this first installment, we learn about the musical ghost shepherds.
In my own little 'I can help *this* one' scream into the universe, I've been de-stringing the feet of the pigeons that live in the park across from my office.
Pigeons (rock doves) are feral, and they live in our cities. With our rubbish. They get string (human hair, fishing line, threads, etc) wrapped around their feet when they do their little circling dance, or from their nests, and they can't get it off themselves. So they limp along as best they can, for as long as they can. They're pretty tough little guys! If you start to look, you'll probably notice a lot of them are missing toes or have strictures holding their feet in painful positions. Some even have both feet bound together.
But the good news is - it's actually SUPER easy to help them!
This little guy had thread around one foot, and wire and nylon line around the other. I removed it on my lunch break on Monday, and now he's already walking easier and won't be losing any more toes.
The photo is from the next day, because he came back to hang out again without hesitation. They're very friendly.
People really hate pigeons, which is a bit unfair considering we are the ones who brought them in to our cities in the first place. If you want to make a world of difference to some lives that don't get a lot of love any more, check out the below for everything you need to know.
remind me to draw the Firsts as extras for my gecko universe later
Kittyroth this Snakeroth that. I propose a compromise, a middle ground if you will
✅ slit eyes that expand and contract
✅ hyperactive at night and other random times
✅ you will be pounced upon
✅ moody about being touched
✅ c r e a t u r e
✅ will eat bugs randomly causing Genesis to faint
✅ urge to climb. You will walk in on him hanging from the ceiling
Bonus: gecko absurdly long and thin and bendy, like Masamune
My part of an art trade with @melkychi!!! Yay!!!
you'll never get away from the sound of the woman that loves you, or something like that

I was still awake and drawing Kingdom Hearts in the middle of a torrential thunderstorm/tornado warning at 6 am
(EDIT: drew Xion and Vanitas here in the same style)
I wanted to try tackling the differences between the Sora lookalikes. Riku is also there as his emotional support boyfriend.
Sora has a crooked smile because I say so
Roxas is Sora’s edgy doppelgänger but also looks exactly like Ventus, a completely different person who is like. Bluetooth connected to Sora’s heart /j
I headcanon Roxas has frosted tips while Ventus is pure blond, and Roxas inherited Sora's imperfect teeth but has a shyer smile
