I take payments through PayPal, and ask for half the cost of the piece before ordering any supplies. Shipping isn't included in these prices. I always ship through USPS, and can give an estimate through there. I'm also happy to try and work with a budget if you have one, just let me know up front any cost/time restraints you have."

Glowing ghosties! Now available on my Ko-Fi! ko-fi.com/s/46042e5913 #beading #beadart #beadedearrings #halloween #ghosts
A pair of beaded earrings, the design is a pair of white ghosts with black eyes. Around them is a black outline, then a line of orange, green, purple, and black beads alternating, then clear rhinestone banding. The edges are done with clear seed and larger beads. The same earrings but taken in the dark. Everything that was once clear now glows green.

A cute goofy, tiny white cat with a big smile holding up a disproportionately large & more human hand, palm out towards the viewer. On it reads: “if you talk to me about using an AI chatbot I WILL crash out.” The illustration is off a soft red background and made with primary colors.

This is seismic news for fisheries scientists. Northern cod is *the* iconic symbol of total fisheries collapse due to overfishing (and other factors) *and* the iconic symbol of a complete failure to recover for decades afterwards. This is like announcing the complete recovery of bison on land.

Long story short, a queer-owned small business is in trouble because UPS decided to charge them tariffs in a lump sum.

Any little bit helps them keep making their high quality, whimsical and size inclusive clothing. 🌈⬇️

Kissing in the (blood) rain. Full resolution here: www.patreon.com/dearfears/po... #horror #toxicyuri #blood
A full color illustration of two women kissing. On the left is Ruth, she's pale with a purple bob and pointed ears. She's standing with her right leg around the other woman (Harriet), her right hand on Harriet's jaw, and her left is gripping the hair at the top of Harriet's head. Ruth is only wearing a teal skirt with her front pressed to Harriet as they kiss. She also appears to have had blood poured over her head, soaking her hair and skirt. Harriet is tan with dark brown hair. She's hunched down to meet Ruth, supporting her weight with her left hand on Ruth's back, and the other cradling the back of Ruth's head. She's also shirtless, her hands and heir soaked in blood.

Just a totally normal magical girl*. #goliath #dndoc #illustration #digitalillustration
A full color illustration of a goliath woman in three different poses and outfits in front of a gradient purple background. There's text that says "Winter Zinsbog" the word "Paladin" crossed out and below "Magical Girl*". Winter is muscular, has long black hair, black eyes, and grey skin with light and dark striation akin to rock. All three outfits are a combination of pinks and reds. On the left, Winter is knelt on the ground, their right arm up in front of them holding a glowing heart shaped shield, and the left behind them holding a heart themed short sword. She wears dark leggings, light boots with hearts beaded on them, a bright tunic with more beaded hearts, a dark bomber jacket, and a choker. Her hair is loose behind her. The second pose, Winter is standing, with a hand on her hip, smiling at the camera. She wears a bright tunic with beaded hearts on it, dark shorts, and dark fringed boots with a lot of beaded hearts. Her hair is up in braids bent to resemble a heart, with a massive axe with heart cut outs on her back, and the heart shield at her arm. The third pose has Winter sprinting at something off to the right, holding the massive axe with a determined smile. She wears dark ribbon pants, short moccasins, and a cropped tank top. Her hair is in one massive braid that's styled to look like a string of hearts.

Sometimes you're the only party member that knows what zombies are and have to make some tough decisions. #dndoc #goliath #illustration #digitalillustration #digitalart
A full color illustration of a goliath woman crouched in a cave. She has striated skin and long dark hair. She's wearing black athletic shorts, a cream colored tunic, a messenger bag, and moccasins with strawberries on them. She looks sadly down and off to the side. In one hand she holds a hand axe with blood dripping off of it. In front of her is the silhouette of a body and a pool of blood, the arm of the body has a red human bite mark on it.

UPDATE: Yes, their owner passed away Thursday. We're taking them in today, but as I said, that CAN'T be permanent; they NEED a HOME NOW. We're willing to drive pretty much anywhere in the Northeast for the right adopter.

We're begging.

Morning people: yep, looks like the ONE nibble is now ghosting. Going to Kevin's apartment today to start cleanout & get the cats, then we're bringing them here. They HAVE to stay closed in our bedroom, so they're safe for now, but one room is NO way to live the rest of their life.

Please. SOMEONE.

Glow in the dark vampire fang pin!! First of my new Halloween stuff! And available here in my shop! ko-fi.com/s/5dff2d3e3e #beading #beadart #beadedjewelry #beadedpin #halloween
A picture of a beaded pin. It looks like a set of plastic vampire fangs, the outline is in black beads and the middle beads have a soft grey color. The same pin, but in the dark. Now the once grey beads glow green.

Based off of the lyrics of Vibrate by Rufus Wainwright, my blinding headache today, and the incredibly hot weather. Full res and more on my patreon! www.patreon.com/dearfears/po... #selfportrait #illustration #eyestrain
A limited pallet illustration of a person leaning their face on a window sill in front of a pool. The drawing is all greens, yellows, and blues. The person is sweating, with dark wavy hair, light eyes, and half of their face has dripping clown makeup. They're looking sadly down to the side. Next to them on the sill is a cell phone. Over the drawing is text that says "God knows what all these new drugs do I guess to have no more fears but still I always end up in tears".

Sometimes your friends get way into drawing gemsonas again, you find out there's a stone called alstonite, and you simply have to make it happen. #gemsona #art #digitalart #digitalillustration
A full color illustration of a large four armed figure holding a cartoonishly large mace and four much smaller figures. The large figure is pale with layered brown marks down their arms and legs and stomach that resembles granny squares, with a dark brown bob, four eyes- two grey looking at their top left hand, the others orange and looking at the bottom left hand. They wear half moon glasses, a brown crop top, grey shorts, and pink platform sneakers. They have a large gem embedded in their neck- round with a triangle in the middle- and a teardrop shaped one in their stomach. On the top left hand is a figure in all shades of grey, with a cloud like bob, and a dress with matching ruffs, looking nervous at the large figure. On the bottom left is a slightly taller orange figure in a tank top, pants, and boots, holding a strange taser and looking disinterested. In the top right hand is the same two figures, but the grey one now looks happy with a pixie cut, a long sleeved shirt, and wide legged pants, and the orange one has wild hair, an orange crop top, red booty shorts, pale orange slumped boots, and claws with dark coloration. In the bottom right corner it says "ALSTONITE".

Another #leyendeckerstudy with my evil women! Check out the full res and alts on my patreon! #illustration #digitalillustration #toxicyuri #lesbian www.patreon.com/posts/160180...
A full color illustration of two women in late 40s formal wear. The woman on the left, Harriet, is tan with short wavy brown hair and brown eyes. In the Leyendecker style, everything that's black morphs into the black background. So all of Harriet you can see is her face, looking down at the other woman, Ruth, lovingly with a cigarette between her lips, the white parts of her tuxedo, and her hand holding a cigarette out for Ruth. She wears red gauges, a black and white tux with a bow-tie, and a purple petunia in her lapel. Ruth is standing beside her, looking up at her with parted lips in a smile. She has a curly purple bob, bright blue eyes, and pale skin. She wears a dark red velvet dress, white gloves with long red nails glued on top, a pearl ring, pearl bracelet, pearl necklace, and pearl earrings, a black stole, red lipstick, brown eye shadow, and a gold comedy and tragedy mask necklace.

Had to draw these three in classic Affleck poses. In order they're (on tumblr) mythrilsantoku 's, mine, and @howlikeagod.bsky.social 's!
A full color illustration of three people looking haggard standing on a brick balcony. Left to right they are: Fen, a ten elven man. He has short brown hair with a grey streak, freckles, and many scars across his body. He has a gold earring, an orange medieval tee shirt, and red swirled pants. His left hand is in his pocket, his right hand hangs to his side holding a cigarette, and his head is leaned back slightly, lips parted, and eyes closed in a grimace. Next is Alston, a pale gnome man. He has short, wavy, brown hair, brown eyes, and stubble. He's looking to the camera with a grimace, one hand holding a cigarette halfway to his mouth. He wears half moon glasses, a maroon button up, a barely visible amulet, a grey cardigan, and a black ring with a yellow gem. Then Mina, a pink tiefling woman. She has light brown bat-like wings, red curved horns, and yellow eyes with diamond pupils. She's looking exhausted towards the camera, a cigarette hanging from her lips, her left hand holding a mostly full drink in a to-go cup, and her right is holding a manila folder full of papers. She wears a dark blue skirt, white button up, black tie, gold heart half necklace, a brown vest with nightshades on it, hexagonal glasses, and several sets of earrings.
