congratulations to The Onion for closing this a year before I get my degree (that I started specifically because of watching this whole fiasco from the defamation hearing)
it's beautiful.
Moon Child began life as an Amiga AGA title before shifting to PC, where it finally saw release in 1997. A fascinating glimpse into a project caught between two eras. More here:

A dragon with butterfly wings rests among hydrangeas, nose-to-nose with butterflies. I colored it green and pink, with the flowers a mix of pink, blue and purple. I'm not a big fan of the pink I picked for the dragon, but oh well. This is why you swatch your markers first, folks.
From Color the Living Island.
Apparently I didn't post this one yet even though it's the first thing I did with alcohol markers? I really wish I had scanned this one first just because there's so many different color schemes I could use.

Vessel stands holding a sword resting on his shoulder, in full stage costume with the elaborate pauldron. It was originally blank, but I drew in columns and pink flowers to bring in the Even in Arcadia album art. Most of the art of Vessel in this book is based on a photoshoot.
The crest for Look to Windward, with crossed swords and lilies surrounding a pane I colored like stained glass. Figuring out how to color this lineart is...difficult, sometimes.
Sleep Token Official Colouring Book. I threw every art medium I have at Vessel (alcohol marker, pencils, paint and gel pens) and freehanded the background. Really like how it turned out.
The crest is pencils and a colorless blender.

A Black fairy sits on a parapet (the carved details suggest a cathedral) beside a small gargoyle, the night sky full of stars behind her. She has an emerald green dress and wings, and pink hair blowing in the wind.
Printable from Selina Fenech, Ohuhu alcohol markers.
A little disappointed with this one; I picked some colors that disappeared into the sky, so there's just random white lines as I attempted to make them visible again with the paint pen. Oh well.

A person's face covered with flowers and leaves, with their hair decorated with branches that look like coral and petals. The bust is cut off by branches sprouting from a brooch with gilded pinecones. A couple mothlike insects fly in the foreground. Very fae vibes. I used a cool color scheme with a lot of purple, pink, and blue.
The palettes I used from the Color Cube, #817 and 879. The first is a winter sunset with pinks and purples, while the second is a deep forest with greens and browns. I didn't stick to them completely, but they were a good starting point. Sadly the lighting I have right now is quite bad so they don't show up well.
Tales from the Forest Kingdom by Hanna Karlzon, Crayola pencils.
Combined two color palettes from @sarahrenaeclark.bsky.social's Color Cube 4 - and found this artist through her rec, too. Can't recommend her channel enough for artists.

I beg you to stop and listen right now

Cloisonné pin similar to the NASA logo, but reads “NOT FLAT”, with “we checked” underneath l
NASA’s Earth photos from Artemis inspired me to put this on today… 🙂

wait that's just insurance, isn't it.
Would it have the same reception if someone decided that it was too expensive to treat all these new cancer patients, so the diagnostic criteria for cancer should be restricted so only the most extreme cases counted, and everyone else now has some other thing that disqualified them from treatment?
I was diagnosed as a child in the 90s/early00s, and yet I understand sarcasm. So I guess according to her, my childhood diagnosis, which is the standard she's going by, was wrong and it's actually something else because historically, autism was only for boys. Sure.
Read that piece and thought it sounded like bullshit, this is a good summary of why.
"Tiktok diagnosis" wouldn't be a problem if the system wasn't underfunded by this very thinking: that most diagnosis is fake, so the support isn't necessary.
Welfare queen moral panics for mental health.
"why did you become a writer" because no one gave a shit about my special interests growing up. now i make them everyone else's problem. next question

how does the sleep token coloring book have the best quality paper of any book I own, wtf
okay this would be acceptable under the "it has to be funny" clause
unless it's funny
but it's going to have to be REALLY funny to justify that over any other option
if that dog turns bipedal I'm never buying a Pokemon product again
a minor addendum based on feedback
Another printable from Selina Fenech, same materials.
TIL alcohol markers get streaky and weird if you try to layer them too much
Maybe I'll retry this eventually with better blending technique.

Succulents in a variety of colors, with a vague floral pattern and swirls to fill in the space between them without overwhelming the art.
Crayola Florals, alcohol markers.
The book says it's for pencils, but the paper held up fine to the markers - which is to say, it still needs an extra sheet behind it, but it didn't bleed over the lines. (Pictured: human error and hubris.)

Fanart of Nikki in an art nouveau style, wearing a simple elegant dress, colored purple against a light orange and blue background. The background has the logos of the nations from the game.

Ohuhu alcohol markers, pencil details, paint pen highlights. Love this style and it was really fun, will probably color it again.
