omg! this is so lovely! i love seeing people use the ornaments i made, hehe! ^w^
Another ficbind down! This one I put together at the request of a friend. It’s one of her favorite fics for a pairing that really took over her brain real estate for the past 3-4 years or so.
When she asked for Something So Dear by forthesanityof1, I checked and it’s over 180k words. My longest ficbind so far. I had to work up to this one—got a few bookbinding projects done and then tackled this.
The title page is really simple and uses a lovely ornament by @cmdonovann that I got through the Renegade Bindery server, which has been such a wealth of resources. I slapped together the chapter ornaments myself, trying to work out a balance of flower and tattoo design (because it’s the whole premise of the fic).
Sorted out that pesky recto-verso problem, thank goodness.
I also had some fun figuring out how to build out the text conversations in the fic. I’ve been typesetting a lot since February and have employed a different strategy each time to denote texting. There’s some chat fics I like but constructing the typesets for those will be a… much later project. Compiled social media history stories are really cool to see and I want to do them justice. This one has just a few minor pieces of text in chat format, so I played with typesetting that.
The edges look chewed up because I tried to shave the textblock down to make it pretty and even on the side, but I was using a box cutter and didn’t realize the blade wouldn’t cut the full girth of the signatures. I had to flip it and things went poorly. Another bookbinding lesson learned! I still really like this one, it turned out very pretty. My friend will be getting this once I ship it off—I haven’t sent her pictures of it and she isn’t on Tumblr anymore. I hope she enjoys it as much as I enjoyed making it and problem-solving all the pieces!
#i should really post a link to those here sometime#i keep forgetting to do that#it's been on my todo list for ages... oops

i drew my skyrim kittyboy again… did i stay up until almost 4am drawing this last night? yes. was it worth it? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ehhhh i guess??? its been a while since ive tried to do lineart (rather than just cleaning up and coloring over a sketch) so this was actually pretty interesting to draw lol
anyway… im thinking about getting Really Into Skyrim Lore just like, for funsies. and also maybe so i can write fanfic of my catboy dovahkiin. i kind of love him uwu
#oh fuck! this was some of the first art i did of friday i think?#teenage friday you are so baby#ilu#anyway. queueing him. look at my catboy.

well, this was a bit experimental style-wise, but it was fun! i am absolutely atrocious at lineart but AT LEAST I FINISHED IT. lmao TTwTT
i feel like the concept here is fairly obvious but *gestures at jackpaul* the way they mirror each other narratively... it is peak sexy, to me. quantum break is a tragedy and i love it

GOOD NEWS TAGGER! i actually have cheaper commission options than this if you wish to commission me but cannot afford the big stuff! i just cant keep track of where ive posted about these options!! (TTmTT); sorry!!
i've got a furaffinity post about colored sketch commissions over here (these are only $50!) if you want a fancy little sketch! (i will obviously draw things other than furries, these are just the examples i used for the post cuz i was really enjoying drawing khajiit when i posted it XD)
i also will do like. pretty much whatever little sketches and doodles and stuff you want for cheaper than that if you wanna message me, or throw some money at my ko-fi page! (⌒▽⌒)/☆
what's up gamers, it's commission sale time!
i've finally gotten good enough at doing these character pages that i can bang one out in a few days with minimal stress, so yes, i am FINALLY offering these as a commission option! (i know, right? it took me long enough. lol) generally, these take me about a day to sketch, then another 3-4 days to color fully, so you can expect it to be done about a week or so after i get started.
anyway, if you want one of these, you can shoot me a tumblr message or ask so we can exchange email addresses, and discuss what you want via email. (tumblr messages still have a tendency to disappear randomly, and are a real pain to read on mobile, so email is just easier, lol.) or you can skip the middleman and just email me directly at [email protected]! ＼(✧w✧)／
some examples of stuff i'd love to draw for these: dungeons and dragons or ttrpg characters (this is what most of the examples are!), OCs, video game characters, RP characters, fursonas, pretty much whatever!
i'll edit/update this post when all the slots are taken (see below the readmore).
tall pages (2 or 3 poses):
• slot one: open!
• slot two: open!
long pages (4 or 5 poses):
• slot one: open!

HELLO FELLOW GAMERS.
PLOT WEEK HAS BEGUN!!!
send me your posts! post about your theories, your fics, your uh... remedy cinematic universe? gimme the posts!!! i wanna read em!!!
it's time.
welcome to…
QUANTUM BREAK APPRECIATION MONTH 2024
okay, fuck it, i went too hard last year trying to post every damn day in april. this year, i am taking a break and inviting you all to join me in making too many insane posts for quantum break month.
yes, that means i will be giving out prizes to those brave soldiers who join me in posting about a nearly-dead eight-year-old fandom for an entire month. i cannot promise that they are GOOD prizes, but i WILL reward you for joining me in quantum break hell.
HERE IS MY CALENDAR:
you will notice i am starting on the second week of the month. this is because i have been renovating an office and am exhausted. i will not be taking questions at this time.
anyway, the 5th of april is the 8th anniversary of quantum break's release! if you post about quantum break on this day and send me a link to the post, i will draw you a tiny doodle on a post-it note of one of the quantum break characters.
the week of april 7th - april 13th i have designated as ships week. this week, post about your favorite quantum break ships! for every shippy post you make (and send me a link to), i will put your name into a hat one time and then pick a random person (on the 30th) to recieve a ship certificate from robinboob, a parody website that sells "certficates" saying you "own" a certain ship. (to clarify, this is parodying nfts, but the money actually funds fandom-centric web development projects.)
(i already own certificates for jackpaul and paulcest. see below. but i'm sure you can come up with some fun new ships that i can buy for you ;3)
the week of april 14th - april 20th is blorbo week. who is your quantum break fave? which of these characters do you want to squeeze like a stress toy? post about your fave this week, and for each post you send me, i will put your name into a hat once and randomly pick someone (on the 30th) to receive free art, done by me, of your blorbo.
(i have already drawn so many quantum break fanarts, and yet, there are still characters i have only drawn once or twice. if your fave is underappreciated, this is the week for you.)
the week of april 21st - april 27th is plot week. gimme your meta, your theories, ramble about the plot points you love to hate or hate to love. for every plotty post you make and send to me, i'll enter your name in my little hat of names once and then pick a random person (on the 30th) to win either a copy of the secret history of time travel or quantum break: zero state, your choice.
that's about it! general diclaimers: you can tag your posts with "quantum break appreciation month 2024" obviously (that's what i'll be doing) but the only way to guarantee i see them and count them is to send me a link. my askbox will be open all month for this reason. you're also free to join the quantum break discord server i run and send your posts there, if that's easier! i won't announce winners for anything until the 30th. if i can't get in contact with you to tell you you've won (ie via tumblr message, askbox, discord, etc) i will pick someone else.
also, full disclosure, yes, i am giving out prizes specifically because i am too tired to make a ton of posts myself. but that doesn't mean i won't try! (i'm not going to enter MYSELF into the hat for a prize though, that would be silly.)
anyway. happy quantum break month! go wild my friends!!

oops, i stayed up too late futzing with the shading on this. dnd character lineup! i wanted to compare their heights. (and somehow, nimbus is STILL getting taller with each level. this chart will be outdated by the time we play again.)
anyway. putting this in the queue so it gets posted at a reasonable time and not 3am. but i WILL be thinking about them all day tomorrow, i'm sure of it.
#dnd#dungeons and dragons#character height chart#tagging that so i can find this later lol#should i tag names...? ugh whatever#tribune nimbus#alpha glory#raz#luvo#nin-aya#hoshi#sseja#fuck it whatever thats good enough#anyway. look at them look at them look at them#very very pleased with nimbus's muscles#and with raz's itty bitty grababble waist >:3c#and glory's hands OwO#and hoshi's smug little knifecat expression!!#i DID make this for like. primarily shippy reasons if im being honest...#i was having trouble visualizing how big nimbus is compared to everyone else#and how small sseja is#now i know that even raz's skinny old man ass could pick up sseja and carry her like a large cat#love that for them#and nimbus could pick up raz (he has done so on one occasion already lmao)#fdhsdfshdfgjdfgj#god i love these characters. i know no one else does but im obsessed with them all.#need to finish that rp with glory and aya....soon......#the robot cannot kiss people but by god i am going to find a way for the robot to fuck. mark my words.
