Hi! I appear to have. Only $32 in my wallet. As you can imagine, that's...Not really a lot. Of course, this isn't an emergency: I have food and a roof over my head as a minor, but obviously I want to be able to spend money on things I want, and unfortunately my dad isn't able to give me anything due to him saving up for a new car since his old one is dead. So, it's be really appreciated if you could support me in any way you could, be it commissioning me or sending me money on Kofi. Thank you very much!! And yes, I am trying to get work, but nobody's getting back to me, and those that have I can't get to due to the lack of a car.

My art Portfolio is on there, but here's some examples! below the cut

Rendering ^

Purely lineless, no shading

Wally Darling from me and my friends Y2K au! Me and my wally fictive had so much fun designing it! Idk why he looks so tall I didn't mean for that to happen He's still only 3 feet i promise

Um uh um

Idk much abt y2k stuff ngl my friend just wanted me to help with designs and gave me clothes ideas and this was a lot of fun!! I'll probably be posting more of this au!

Wally said we needed to put more hearts on it so that's why he has so many hearts on him. Idk, he's silly goofy like that

UMM The best way I can describe this version of Wally is that scene from mean girls

Wally "That's the most!"

Frank "Wally, stop trying to make 'most' happen. It's not going to happen"

(Character is not mine, he belongs to @partycoffin )

I'm already having so much fun omg <33

Scrapped chapter in The Three Categories

Scrapped chapter idea for chapter 6 so that when the corruption happened he didnt just fake it he faked faking it if yk what I mean?

I thought the direction it was going was iffy and didn't fit the story right

The three categories: https://archiveofourown.org/works/44473648/chapters/111863494

Alhaitham was good at acting. Most of those close to him knew this very well- After all, he wouldn’t have been able to pull off the plan to save Sumeru if he wasn’t, now, would he? His poker face left him able to lie and tell the truth, and nobody would know the difference.

Alhaitham didn’t like lying, of course, unless it was essential to do so. He preferred being straightforward- But he also didn’t like talking to people about how he felt. So, when Kaveh kept pestering him about the night before, Alhaitham had walked out without saying anything, sword in hand, dodging through the bustling city streets and pretending like he wasn’t running away from something until he made it to the forest, and away from Kaveh. He gave a relieved sigh, moving to sit under a tree. His head was throbbing…He needed to calm down before he had an episode.

Alhaitham winced at the thought of having one of his crazed spells. He hated them, especially since he could never get out of them alone. Yet..he had nobody to confide in about it. He had told the Traveler he had modified the Akasha Terminal to put on an act. Acting like he was acting. If he didn’t, they would’ve been worrying over him instead of the plan, and that was unnecessary . One of the few times he had lied, and he was suffering now because of it. Karma really wasn’t sparing with their punishments, were they? His best bet was to make it back to Sumeru City and up to the Sanctuary of Surasthana to find Lesser Lord Kusanali before it started and come up with an explanation for his condition on the way there...But where even was he? Alhaitham forced himself to get up when he caught his breath, leaning against the trunk of the tree with shallow breaths. He had just walked in a random direction to try and get Kaveh off his trail.

Alhaitham sighed, forcing himself to stand properly before starting to retrace his steps. He just had to make it before the instability in his mind grew too hard to control and he went into an episode of mania, acting like a savage dog. At least, that’s how he compared it- Perhaps it wasn’t the same for others. After all, the Divine Knowledge Capsule was an oddity. Everyone was affected in one way or another when exposed to it, though it had yet to have anything anyone would call a good effect. When the Akasha Terminal turned off, it was as though it cut off the arm from the hand that had a grip on his brain. Sure, it had no way of doing anything new, but it also was still there, continuing to strangle him despite the disconnection to its source.

The periods of mania for him included the inability to think rationally, attacking anyone nearby with whatever he could use (teeth, hands, anything), and blotches in his memory. During the mania, he couldn’t remember his friend or foe, and when he came back out, his memory of the incident was slim, as well as a few other random blotches missing. Alhaitham had come to the conclusion, based on how the traveller explained the incident to the others, that he simply acted like a feral animal. A dog so abused and full of hate would act this way, no? No matter what type of creature you are, you have emotions, and you can always have trauma. Alhaitham reasoned that this mania he experiences sometimes was triggered by a trauma response related to high emotions for some reason he was unsure of, and it made him go to his basic instincts: Fight, flight, or freeze. During these highly emotional stages, Alhaitham chose ‘fight’ subconsciously, when, if he was in a rational state of mind, he would choose flight unless necessary.

Alhaitham gave a shallow breath, shaking his head. The mania was also the only reason Azar and the other scholars that day had been able to put their hands on him- If he was in a rational state of mind, he would’ve found a way out. But in that state, he couldn’t think or do anything to stop it. He was helpless. He hated that feeling. As much as he wasn’t a leader, he always had a say on whether or not he’d do whatever his superiors told him. He always had freedom of his own choices and his own mind. Everything that happens Alhaitham already calculated would happen, and would be able to come up with a quick solution when it does happen to preserve his peaceful life. But in his manic state, he had no control. He couldn’t think properly. Logic and reasoning was figuratively thrown out of a window.

He despised it.

He knew keeping the mania hidden was a stupid idea, and it over complicated things, which Alhaitham never liked. However, the thought of the Akedemiya learning of these episodes made him worry; If it were to get out, would he safely be able to keep his job? After all, they'd worry about him having an episode during work. What if someone walked in to request a file and Alhaitham attacked them? However, he knew Lesser Lord Kusanali wouldn't think like that. She'd given him supplements to help with the effects before without asking any questions. This was something Alhaitham liked about the time spent with this God; She seemed to understand situations very quickly and adapt to them. He knew as the God of Wisdom she must be curious of such matters, but she refrained, knowing not to push his boundaries. Alhaitham was greatful for that.

His steps were heavy and his breathing was getting unsteady. He moved to click on his music player to increase the volume, hoping that would help, but it only helped briefly. His mind was slipping in and out, and his grip on reality was beginning to spill between his fingers. He should ask Lesser Lord Kusanali for a higher dose in supplements- Perhaps the recipe or something so he could make some before he went out or something. He just had to focus on that; Getting to Lesser Lord Kusanali. If he could do that, Everything would be fine.

~~~

Kaveh panted heavily as he ran to the edge of the city, doubling over and gripping his knees tightly as he looked around frantically, calling Alhaitham’s name with a hoarse voice, but he saw no trace of the man. “Fuck,” Kaveh cursed, sinking onto the grass with heavy pants, ignoring the odd looks he was getting from those passing by. Alhaitham was so infuriating! This was important. Why wouldn’t he just talk to him? It wasn’t fair.

Mehrak bobbed over to Kaveh, opening up to present a water bottle that Kaveh took gratefully, chugging it. Alhaitham was really dumb for a smart person. He knew Alhaitham didn’t want to have these kinds of talks with Kaveh- The only reason Kaveh was even living with him was because of pity and the idea of studying the behaviors of the polar opposite of him. Kaveh knew that. But..Also..Last night..

Kaveh winced, leaning back to look up at the sky, his red eyes already pricking with tears at the memory. Alhaitham…For the first time since they had reconciled, he had shown real emotion. He let his walls down for a little while. And then..Kaveh ruined it. Alhaitham didn’t trust him to see him like that anymore. And that…Was really upsetting.

Kaveh wiped hislips as he finished the bottle, placing it back into Mehrak with a long, heavy sigh. How could he have been so stupid? How could he have forgotten something like that…? Especially since it actually meant something to Alhaitham. Kaveh could feel his heart ache for the other man- Stupid, young Kaveh. Why would he do something like that? He’d never experienced any kind of attraction towards men before, so why then? Why did he kiss his best friend? Now everything was complicated. Now he was thinking things he wasn’t supposed to. Now, he was trying to remember how Alhaitham looked, all flushed and pressed up against him on that old couch… Now he was wondering how his huge muscles felt..

But, of course, those were just intrusive thoughts. He was still very straight. Nothing was going to change that, especially not some random makeout partner he had that happened to be his best friend at the time. It was just a heat of the moment thing, that’s all… At least, that’s what it was to him. But Alhaitham…No matter how much he tried to deny it, Alhaitham had thought of it as something a little more than that. Nothing super big, of course, but still something, and Kaveh hadn’t even remembered it, and the part of his memory that came back to him…

He shuddered, thinking of the lady that night, feeling some emotion squeeze his heart- Anger? Something like that. As blurry as it was, Kaveh could now just barely remember the rest, bringing Alhaitham home, the feeling of the couch, the kiss.. Oh, that stupid kiss. Now that Kaveh could recall it, it made his heart flutter- the feeling of ecstasy…

I have rlly bad chest pain and apparently got a stomach bug, plus my dot at the end of a sentence started and in general i feel rlly crappy jsdfnj

Anyway, I tried shading and stuff. I've been on insta a lot and recently stuff's just been really upsetting to me and my art and i just wana feel good abt it but kdjnjgdnjg.

Idk if this is as much of a problem on here, but im gonna copy paste the rant i put on insta because SDJHFBEJHFBJ barkbarkarbkarb

TW long post

I spent an hour on this little doodle trying to test out shading and overlays and it doesn't look like i did anything I've been getting less and less confident about my art recently, to the point I think I have to shade and do what everyone else is doing. I have to use guidelines, I have to shade, I have to learn how to render, I have to listen to all the artists that are better than me's advice otherwise I'll never be successful.

I've been drawing seriously for 7 years (using guidelines, figuring out what works for me and what doesnt, etc), and yet seeing all of these people being like "beginner artists when they.." and like. I do that thing? And it's really hurtful and makes me really unmotivated.

Any time I try to shade, use guidelines, etc, my art doesn't change the way people say it should. Not even by a little. It makes me feel inferior to everyone, yk?

I take a lot of time and put a lot of effort into my art, and these people on the internet with their trends makes it so BARKABRKABRKAB. Same Face Syndrome, the shading with purpose thing, "beginner artists" only really having one perspective, etc. It's all really hurtful and Ik that's not the intention but I've cried over it quite a lot.

I know my art isn't beautiful, it doesn't spark anything, but I'm trying my best. And I'm sure a lot of other people are, too.

TLDR don't just assume ppl are beginner artists and don't try giving them "help" if they don't ask for it. Ik artists are just trying to be helpful but it can hurt a lot of people and snfjsnfdjngjdngj. Idk Nothing against artists that do this, obviously, but when it's the only thing I see it makes me sad

And to people like me: ur so valid ilysm and your art is delicious I promise don't let them get to u <33

anyway yeah im sick and sad so take this wah

Also look at my commission sheet bc i need moniez in these troubling times 😔😔😔😔 /hj

Posted on the wrong acc ack

We just lost our only constant customer due to him hurting us really bad, which means we’re out of a source of income. While I’m certain you have better things to spend money on it’d be really appreciated if you could commission us. Thank you :)
