Baptists. Can’t forget that flavor of condensation.
"Look, I despise the very core of what you do, it makes me sick, but I love YOU!!"
Fuck off, mormons do this and it's so goddamn patronizing.
Kaard’s ethos
Name: Muspelheim
Type: slime/ooze
Concepts embodied: Rot. Hunger. Disgust. Entropy
Bio: By no means intellectual nor strong. He can barely hold a consistent shape, much less coherent conversation. He doesn’t need to. He’s horrifyingly efficient at what he does. He can selectively dissolve matter. And covering/filling a mortal body can give him complete control over its movements. Like everything Kaard tames, he now understands sex and prefers nasty, violating forms of it. He gets off on being perceived as gross, vile and untouchable. While verse, he enjoys his role as one of Kaard’s enforcers/attack dogs. Usual left to act as a security measure in Kaard’s Sanctum.
Quotes: “MuUUhhhh MMmashterRrerR.... 💕”
“Shhsshtep on MMEEEEE!!?”
“EaT, You, Yeshshs?”
Kinks: soft vore, goo, mummification, rubber,
How the spirits are born. And, eventually, die.

My very first Steven Universe fan-fusion! Not sure I have a name for her yet, but “Champagne” comes to mind.
Basically, I see a marionette/doll. Abused and broken before being abandoned by a careless child. The face she shows is false. The mouth doesn’t move when she speaks. Her true face is elsewhere (later reveal).
Spinel understands Pink Diamond’s abandonment.
Pearl understands her rage.
This creature... understands that is its fate.
But rage and resentment festers. She understands others have suffered. Pink Diamond May be gone, but the others are out there. They’ll never change. Just like she can’t.
So the broken doll. The abandoned puppet. RAISES HER BANNER!!! DOWN WITH THE DIAMONDS!!! PUNISH THEM! LOCK THEM IN THE TOYBOX!!! BREAK THEM!!! BREAK THEM!!! BREAK THE REMAINING DIAMONDS!!!!
Quotes: “We aren’t mad, really! We just wanna play war, okay?” “Et-tu, StevennnnnnNNnnnn~~?!” “La, la, la-la, la...” “It’s fine. I’m already broken.” “A shattering gem sounds just like raining starlight!”
Will you join her? What will you do to protect this little, broken... doll...?
First of these ever on my main.

Kaard: “No! Oz! You’re sweet! Seriously. But let’s make that work for this guy.”
Oz: “but, Master. Have I not just bought you a new slave?”
Kaard: “......”
Tuesday Tips - Embrace The Nose / It’s very easy to take shortcuts when drawing the nose, and honestly, it’s fine most of the time. The nose is right in the center of the face and can unintentionally draw a lot of attention if constructed poorly. But when it’s embraced, it can do wonders. It’s key to track the facial features at odd angles and can bring a ton a personality to a character design. Use it or lose it! -Norm @grizandnorm #100tuesdaytipsbook #100tuesdaytips #tuesdaytips #arttips #arttutorial #embracethenose
Welp! I’ll be back for this!
I had a sudden strike of inspiration again for making a generator! Hope someone finds it useful :) Drag or screenshot!
Note: I encourage to pick 2-3 times from the additional/special abilities squares. Also to just take the body type square as a inspiration and not super strictly. ❤

Reblog EVERYWHERE!!
You know you can talk all the shit you want about Madoka Magica, but you have to admit that the Meduka Meguca memes gave us so many valuable phrases and ways to express important emotions and concepts.
REALLY happy to see this.
People have written a lot of touchy-feely pieces on this subject but I thought I’d get right to the heart of the matter
#MyWholeDamnLife

Not sure this makes me feel any better... ~w~”
Helion: Spirits of Sunlight and scions of The Father-Sky’s Right Eye. Rarely come to Earth, either in the Spirit or Flesh Realms. But sometimes use their resemblance to what humans think angels to be to shelter in churches or issue “divine mandates”. But like all spirits, they are alien, narrow-minded, and selfish to startling extremes. However, they are beings of order, and will gladly serve a dominant personality they believe can bring order to chaos.
Unnamed hecatoncheir. This one was fun, but somewhat challenging for me 😅
Fakemon: Hiveon the flea-bitten Pokémon. Has formed a symbiotic relationship with a certain type of flea. The fleas farm it’s mane into a forest-like shelter. This Pokémon is notoriously lazy, and most of its attacks are actually performed by the insects themselves.
Inspired to post!!! A single request boosted my morale enough to show you all a bit of what I’m working on. Here’s some of my guys and Kaard’s familiars!
Anyone know who these scammers are? Don’t think I should be TOO worried, but still...
The title says it all really. So if nothing else, please share and reblog this post to raise awareness for those that might be caught out - both artists and followers. For a TL:DR, please look at the bottom of the post
Right now, there is at least one person actively impersonating multiple artists across tumblr in an effort to scam their followers into paying for fake ‘cheap commissions’. The scammer will clone a tumblr, usually using a slight change to the url/account name to look like the real deal. They will then message people directly through Tumblr with messages along the lines of “Hey, i’m doing cheap commissions right now. DM me to get one”. Naturally, this is ends up just being a way to take their money without giving anything back in return.
Everyone. Simple as that. As long as the scammer in question works unopposed, they are free to spread their influence and continue to scam more people. Even if you haven’t been targeted yet, it does not mean you are safe or immune. Several artists have already fallen victim to this scammer, and I encourage any artists that have to reblog this post with the details of their affected account(s) and the ones the scammer has set up.
Tumblr, like many other social media platforms, seems to care very little about ‘minor’ occurences like this one, and despite reaching out directly to them over a week ago through multiple avenues of contact - they have refused to comment on the situation, provide a recommended response for users, or take action on behalf of those already affected. Despite this, there are still tools at our disposal that we can use to make this scam more difficult, and to increase its visibility to those within Tumblr staff that are required by policy to take action. Tumblr has the following to say on the topic of impersonation: Confusion or Impersonation. Don’t do things that would cause confusion between you or your blog and a person or company, like registering a deliberately confusing URL. Don’t impersonate anyone. While you’re free to ridicule, parody, or marvel at the alien beauty of Benedict Cumberbatch, you can’t pretend to actually be Benedict Cumberbatch. They then provide a link to this online form that you can fill out if you suspect someone’s identity is being confused. Unfortunately, this can only be filled out if you are the victim of impersonation. In other words, only the artists can fill this out legitimately. So, what about the followers and users of tumblr whom aren’t being impersonated? Our most valuable tool in this online platform is the platform itself. It enables us to spread our word near-virally across all the many sub-communities on Tumblr with remarkable efficiency for a user-driven system. We can take advantage of that effect to increase awareness of the situation. Even if you - the one reading this right now - aren’t an artist or don’t know an artist, the act of reblogging this post or sharing it directly with friends improves it’s ‘ranking’ in popularity increasing its chances to be seen by more people. We don’t need everyone on Tumblr to see the post for it to be effective, just like we don’t need the entirety of the human population of the world to be immune to a disease for that disease to be rendered ineffective or eradicated. If enough people are aware, the likelihood of pulling off a successful scam increases dramatically reducing efficiency to a point that it no longer becomes profitable to continue.
It disheartens me to say this, but of the many artists I contacted directly over the past week to warn about this issue many of them refused to listen or dodged the responsibility with lines like;
“I’m not being impersonated, so it doesn’t affect me”
“I’m just one person. I can’t make an impact”
“I need to take care of my community. Other people can look after theirs”
This is honestly disappointing that so many artists or art-rebloggers care so little as to intentionally wave the responsibility of keeping their followers and fellow artists safe from this, that they cannot spare 10 seconds of their time to share an informative post. I’m not here to bash artists, but it is time that everyone takes responsibility for their own communities, and of those around them. Artists: You have a responsibility to ensure that your followers and fans aren’t being abused by someone who may impersonate you. If they succeed, your reputation will be damaged, and your followers will resent you. Your followers are also almost guaranteed to be following other artists meaning your efforts can spread beyond your own circle of influence, so don’t be naive when you think you have little effect. Followers: You have just as much responsibility to be aware of those that might try to scam you or your fellow followers. Don’t just sit in silence when you see something wrong: Ignoring the issue only makes it more resilient to our efforts to stop it. You are the vocal majority if you just use your voices to be heard!
A scammer is impersonating artists and scamming money from their followers under the guise of ‘cheap commissions’. If we ignore the issue, it will get worse. Every single person that reads this can afford to spend just 10 seconds to reblog and share this post. Those 10 seconds can save others from being scammed for hundreds of dollars. Reblog & Share
Yup. Needed to read this.
You have no idea how many people lurk on your work. No idea how many times people go back to revisit your work. How big they smile when they simply think about your work. How fast their heart beats, how excited they get when they see that you posted something.
People are shy with their feedback. Sometimes it’s because they’re simply shy. Other times it’s because they assume you already know how great and talented you are. Could be both.
My point is, even if you barely have any likes or reblogs, don’t get discouraged. You have a lot of silent fans, but they are still your fans. Keep on creating. Because there is always someone out there who will love what you have made.
Available to do art more frequently. Taking requests, and would like to reimagine your favorite fantasy monster or mythical entity! Not for profit (considering my unprofessional inconsistency) but it might be fun to see what you all throw at me ^^
Just... easy with the dragons. There’s already so many out there ~w~
