she just looks happier about mondays now

But at least we don't have to look at female presenting nipples or trans people, phew

Speaking of tumblr, AI ads over there have really hit a new low. Right now the usual mix I get is: food full of writhing maggots, sex chatbots that look like Disney princesses, promos for videogames that don't exist where a guy gets injected with a huge needle then dies and bursts like a balloon

I'll probably still be posting bits and pieces here from time to time (I like bluesky for sharing process stuff and whatnot) and I'll try to mirror posts here when I have the energy, but this place seriously gives me panic attacks so the main location for my fan art will be on tumblr now! ✌️

Tealights of Dorley Hall (@tealights-of-dorley) on Tumblr Fanart for Alyson Greaves' "The Sisters of Dorley" series (and other works) by Tealights-in-the-Sand. Beware of spoilers! Non-fanart portfolio at trickyfox.studio

Heya, if you're following me for Dorley Hall fan art, I made a tumblr to house it all and make updates easier on me (I appreciate everyone here, but bluesky makes my heart rate go up). I already posted some pieces there that hadn't made it out of the dorleycord yet!

Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm light is the left had of darkness and darkness the right hand of light, lying together, with hands joined together, like lovers in kemmer, like the end and the way uhh so yeah

If you're ever getting blood drawn and it feels like lightning is shooting up and down your arm, scream real loud so the lab tech stops the draw. I downplayed how much pain I was in (very cool of me) and my guy just kept going. It's a super rare accident tho, so hopefully y'all are just good 🤞

My drawing arm got fucked up during a blood draw last week, suffered some light nerve damage. Super scary at the time but now it barely feels worth mentioning since it doesn't seem to have done any lasting damage (knock on wood)? Anyway, I've been drawing again!

if I wanted AI TG slop I’d go generate it myself. no! I want pure *original* TG slop from the weird hearts of weird people! people like me!

The Knife's 'Silent Shout' Turns 20 The voice doesn’t sound human. It doesn’t sound like one voice, either. It’s a distorted monotone chant that comes through in several registers at once. It’s a high-pitched whisper and a baritone rumb...

Wrote about the 20th anniversary of the Knife's Silent Shout, a truly great album that has not aged one second.

been busy fucking Going Through It™ recently but I think I might be ready to get back to drawing again? starting to feel the itch

Happy Valentine's day~ I'm running a bundle of all of my +18 comics & artbooks for 10 dollars total, a value that resembles a super delicious looking no strings attached fruit on a particularly beautiful looking paradise tree: itch.io/s/180368/val...

while you were studying the blade, i went to the store

They say imitation crab is the sincerest form of crab

It was peak.

Oh yeah, I didn't recognize your handle on here! Thank you *again*, then! 😅

I just have The Urge to draw these, it's always so nice when it really resonates with people 🤩

this is such a huge compliment, thank you so much!

Screenshot from Ranma 1/2 Ranma, pulling at her wet shirt: Well, guess it's fine if I’m like this today.

Akane: It is. I really don't mind how you look. Ranma: Hmm?

Akane: It doesn't matter to me if you look like a boy or a girl.

Ranma shocked face reaction

So the season 2 finale of Ranma aired the other day and they added a line to make Akane pansexual, or at the very least, Ran-sexual

Thanks, Roz! Turns out it's... good for my mental health?? So I've just been doing as much as possible lately 😅

Illustration of two young women on a couch, one (Paige) is comforting the other (Christine), who is collapsed and crying and muttering something illegible. Paige is yelling with angry tears in her eyes. "Shut up, Lorna!"

Drawing of Maria in the security room with Tabitha, Pippa, and Christine. It's the same composition as the Young Thug and Lil Durk meme

Sketch of hungover Paige, Christine, and Vicky waking up in bed from book 2 chapter 11. Christine says "because I'm cursed."

[**Light spoilers for some book 1 and 2 moments**]

For comparison, here are some older drawings with my "first idea best idea" Christine design (I still like these)

A drawing of a girl with her hair up in a messy ponytail and an oversized shirt draped over her pajamas. The shirt is falling off one of her shoulders and one of her arms is draped defensively over her torso. She has a look of gentle bemusement on her face. "Well, yeah. Saved me."

Black Friday retail hell totally killed my creative spirit but I'm back! I concentrated on reworking how I draw Christine so she's a little more legible / easier to draw from different angles and once I figured it out I kinda got on a tear 😅 Here's another one:

Illustration of a red-headed person in a smock talking with a girl sitting on the other side of a thick glass door. The girl is nervously fidgeting with her fingers. "Are you a trans woman?" "No. Sort of. Not really. It's complicated."

Yet more fanart for @badambulist.bsky.social 's The Sisters of Dorley. I love all these early scenes with Christine sneaking around in the basement; she fucked up so bad! Whoops!

Constantly wanting to show little sneak peeks of whatever I'm working on vs knowing innately that if my ADD senses a single drop of dopamine from the act of sharing, the drawing is immediately and permanently dead to my brain
