VERY excited about these new romance novel cover prints I'll have at Flamecon table K119!! Hard to capture in photos, but they're on a really nice pearl linen shimmer heavy stock, so they've got a little texture and a fun silvery shimmer to them. Full flamecon menu post coming soon!! I haven't been at a con in three years, I'm nervous but excited!!
I'll have these at Flamecon, SPX, and MICE, and if I have any leftovers after that I'll put them up for sale online- I'll be sure to let folks know here /insta/twt/bsky (careydraws everywhere) when that happens!
Can you BELIEVE these """just weren't the right tone"""" for the GN series covers*, I don't see the problem, the main trio are CLEARLY visible on every cover,,,
*as always, this is a joke!! I made these as a special treat for me to stay sane during the actual GN cover process, nobody else ever got to see them to reject them; the entire GN team and the entire team at :01 are incredibly powerful & I feel very lucky to get to work with them!!

if youre still doing the lovecore outfits- could we get magnus throwing wooden ducks at folks Cupid-style?
those asks were actually from last year (in my defense, adhd brain), but yeah I can squeeze in one more! my hand is getting tired tho, so this is last one :0
First image is a drawing of Magnus Burnsides, a human man with a strong, burly build. He is wearing a pink t-shit, trousers, and white cupid wings with a pink halo headband. He holds an assortment of pink wooden ducks in one arm, while actively throwing one in the other while yelling, "Love ducks!" Second image is a two-part comic of Killian and Carey, an orcish woman and female dragonborn respectively. In the top drawing, they both look in the direction that Magnus yelled and ask in unison, "Love whats?" In the bottom drawing, they then begin to scream and cover their heads as love ducks rain down on them from above. End Id.

A How-To Guide to Ask Your Girlfriend to Marry You: Advice from Carey Fangbattle
The first step to this is to get a girlfriend. This may sound daunting, but it is doable! You might look back on your past attempts in this arena and cringe; it’s easy enough to say do not cringe, kill the thing that cringes. It’s another story when confronting yourself with the veritable trauma-trove of stinkers you shackled yourself with in the past. Breathe. Ask the cool girl at work to come spar with you. At best, it’s the perfect kindling for some nice sexual tension. At worst, you’re still sparring (and when you’re good at being hard to hit, it’s nice to have a challenge).
Taking it slow is cool! You can keep sparring and hitting the gym and become increasingly obvious that you want to maybe go for coffee sometime. And then, while out for coffee, if you suddenly remember you don't drink coffee, DO NOT PANIC. Tea is cool. You ever tried a Faerun Fog? It's like a latte but with tea. It's fine.
You can also try inviting her back to your place to watch a movie. Be sure to place the bowl of popcorn in such a way that would make accidental hand brushes inevitable.
Keep dropping hints that you're gay. Maybe she didn't notice.
Repeat substeps 1-3.
Get assigned to go on a work trip with her now that the flirtation has really ensued. Find the shittiest, draftiest tavern you can (there's not a lot of money in the job). Now, you might be asking: how many beds were there? And the answer is two, but don't despair! Because if you're cold-blooded, eventually she's going to get tired of your teeth chattering and will invite you to share her bed anyway!
Wake up in her arms. Super platonic like.
Oh, that actually worked? You now have a girlfriend? Great job! Never doubted you for a moment!
Now, you can go on some more dates! Have you tried the new wine and pottery place? It seems pretty cool.
Avoid your coworker at said wine and pottery place
Let her know that the whole being a reptile thing does make certain things different but! it's cool and fine and doesn’t take very much getting used to.
She's very enthusiastic and a quick learner. Lucky you.
This next step is also vital, sorry. You have to befriend this absolute himbo of a man. Neither of you consciously make an effort, you're just drawn together.
Hmm, politely turn him down after he hits on you.
Shit, that's not at all what was happening, cool cool cool.
He's cool about it though. And he has skills! And he wants to learn your skills!!
Have a heart to heart conversation with your girlfriend. This will happen organically after a long day at work. You're both going to be exhausted in every sense of the word. After all, you just had to attend the funeral of a friend.
She'll tell you she had wanted to use a powerful magic item while on a mission a while back.
Recall that the terms of your employment require that you apprehend or kill members of your organization tempted to do just that.
Be so brave and not cry about what this could mean for you both one day.
…cry a little
Decide you want to marry this woman.
Drop the hint to your best friend that you want to marry this woman.
Your best friend will carve a beautiful ring for your (hopefully) future fiancé.
Keep the ring in your pocket.
Try to figure out when to pop the question.
Watch the color fade from the world.
Lose your best friend.
Mourn him.
Discover your best friend was an alien from another plane of existence.
Discover that he didn't actually die.
Asshole, who keeps that kind of thing from a best friend!
Nearly lose the love of your life in the fray of battle.
Lose your shit.
Survive the apocalypse.
Mourn your friends.
And finally, when the dust has settled and you're finally back together in your bed, wince when you realize the ring box is digging into your hip.
Shift your weight and be weird for a minute
She's going to laugh a little. This is good. She loves you, after all.
Forget every single romantic notion you've ever come up with and tell her instead that you'd like to spend every near-apocalypse with her for as long as you both shall live.
She'll say yes, yes, ten thousand times yes.
She'll cry.
You'll cry.
And now you're engaged!
Start planning the wedding.
…Good luck

TAZ SAPPHIC WEEK DAY 1: Dragon + Sword
Teaser for tomorrow: Cowboys!
+extra sketch. Check under the cut to see my idea notes for what I imagined the story of this AU would be ;-)
Idea: Killian is tasked with rescuing princess Carey from the clutches of a dragon. But when she gets to the castle, she realizes that princess Carey IS the dragon, and that she is happier in this form. In the end they run away together!
Tried something different with the main piece because I wanted it to feel like a ‘cover’ of the story. Inspired by medieval style tapestries and illuminated manuscripts, but slightly stylized.
#taz sapphic week#taz#the adventure zone#taz balance#tazb#carey fangbattle#taz killian#team sweet flips#the dragons in medieval art are so. varied and a little fucked up lol#i referenced a couple but ended up stylizing it#for Killian I also wanted to follow the style of illuminated manuscripts and make it super detail and funky#but then I decided to lowkey reference the tapestry arts that you can see in po/kemon s/wsh. like in hammer/locke vault.#cuz theyre pretty simplistic but evocative.#sometimes ya gotta trim down your ideas cuz you simply won’t have the time to fully execute everything

Welcome to TAZ Sapphic Week, a week dedicated to celebrating sapphic characters in The Adventure Zone.
'Sapphic' refers to a woman or non-binary person who loves another women and/or non-binary person. This is considered an umbrella term for the women loving women, or wlw, community.
This week was organized in order to appreciate some of the characters and their relationships who can often be overlooked, and in general give us a reason to be excited over these lovely gals!
The week will begin August 17th, and run until August 23rd.
August 17th was chosen as the starting date because it is the day which the Balance finale aired, and is therefore Carey and Killian's wedding anniversary!
The prompt board for 2023--
While anything goes for Sapphic Week, some of us work better when given options!
Writing, art, and any other mediums are encouraged, from any and all campaigns. We are so excited to share the love.
When the week begins, you can tag your posts with '#taz sapphic week' and all creations will be reblogged here!
If you're posting to Ao3, you can add your work to our 2023 collection, or visit it to see the works created for this event.
Any questions are welcomed in our askbox!
Blog run by @taakosleftshoe

briefly breaking my self-imposed exile for femslash february hehe, featuring the taz ladies ofc
hurley and sloane
-love language: definitely quality time, especially after the time they spent apart and how hard that was for both of them
-ideal date: a one on one battlewagon race and then a picnic at the edge of the cliff
-actual first date: one day after a race, hurley asked sloane if she wanted to get drinks somewhere in the city
-how did they meet?: battlewagon racing! they were both talented and well known in their own right, but then ended up racing together too
-nicknames for each other: sloane calls hurley blossom and hurley calls sloane birdie
-favorite thing about their partner: hurley loves sloane's confidence and staying calm under pressure and sloane loves hurley's dedication and passion
carey and killian
-love language: touch and gifts
-ideal date: sparring practice followed by a soak in a nice hot tub and cuddles after
-actual first date: one of the bureau festivals on the moon
-how did they meet: obviously as regulators at the bureau, but i think whoever got hired first noticed the other one being toured around and was like ooh who is that
-nicknames for each other: carey calls killian kills sometimes
-favorite thing about their partner: they both admire each other's strength and skill at their job, carey loves killian's hugs and killian loves carey's softer side
aubrey and dani
-love language: words of affirmation
-ideal date: somewhere out in nature where they can just be together uninterrupted, they'd probably end up falling asleep on each other
-actual first date: aubrey created an entire grove of pudding fruit trees in sylvain and put on a magic show for dani
-how did they meet: we already got this in canon haha
-nicknames for each other: they aren't big on nicknames but dani will tease aubrey sometimes by calling her the lady flame in just regular situations
-favorite thing about their partner: aubrey loves how dani helps her feel grounded and see things more clearly and dani loves aubrey's desire to help people and make the world a better place
amber and kodira/oksana
-love language: time and touch…which is unfortunate since they rarely have either for like 30 years
-ideal date: honestly just a classic nice dinner out, they've never really gotten the chance to do that with any of their circumstances
-actual first date: a late night rock show in one of the buildings on the shoreside
-how did they meet: on the shoreside, when they arrived their bunks were next to each other
-nicknames for each other: well this one is canon, bubba and bananaface
-favorite thing about their partner: kodira loves amber's take no shit attitude and her sense of humor and amber loves kodira's poise and commitment to whatever she takes on, physically for amber it's kodira's hair and for kodira it's amber's eyes

hi did you know i love them
Image ID: A grayscale traditional sketch in marker of NO-3113, Carey Fangbattle, and Killian from The Adventure Zone
All the way to the left is NO-3113, a large robot with a boxy head (with a dark window and a light for her eye) with a small bow tied to a wire on her head. In place of her right forearm is a large cannon, and her left arm is large and cylindrical. On her arm are three stickers, one with the Bureau of Balance symbol, another with a fluffy white dog, and the last is a heart with the words “Team Sweet Flips” written on it.
Carey is a short dragonborn woman with frills above her eyes and behind her ears, two upright horns, and a long tail. She is wearing a tank top and shorts. Most of her lower torso is obscured behind NO-3113’s arm.
Killian, all the way to the right, is a muscular orc woman with dark, wavy hair put up in a messy bun. She is wearing a tank top, sweatpants and socks, and her arm is visibly scarred as well as hairy. She is sitting down on a pillow.
NO-3113 has a delighted expression as the other two decorate her forearm and hand. Carey, with a mischievous grin and her forked tongue sticking out, is scribbling “Team Sweet Flips” on a heart shaped sticker on the former’s arm with a marker. Killian is also smiling but with her eyes closed, gently holding NO-3113’s hand and painting her “nails.” End description.

TAZ Sapphic Week Day 7: Game (Its a Pokemon Au bc of course it is 😔✌️)
Going out w a bang on the last day with something incredibly self-indulgent. +Short comic
+ Me talking about pokemon choices + some lore explanations as to why I chose that pokemon (for those who don’t know that much about pokemon) are under the cut
Killian is a mixed specialist with a love for fighting type pokemon.
Carey is a dragon specialist, specifically dragons that are fast and nimble, hence the Garchomp (who is one of the faster dragon-types, as well as having the Sand Veil ability which makes it easier for Garchomp to dodge attacks in sandstorm)
Killian has a shiny Kommo-o because in my mind, Carey gave her a little shiny Jangmo-o as a gift because it’s fighting and dragon type, but also because it’s got a pink heart on top of it’s head to symbolize their love!
On top of Killian’s head is the pokemon Applin, who is also dragon-type. In the region it debut in, gifting someone an Applin can be seen as a romantic gesture. It’s Killian’s gift to Carey that they ended up raising together :-)!
#taz sapphic week#taz#the adventure zone#taz balance#tazb#carey fangbattle#taz killian#team sweet flips#PokeZone Balance AU#< thats gonna be the tag for this AU cuz I’ve got more pokemon AU for the rest of the balance cast#Anw Carey is a gym leader and Killian is a champion. The rest of the cast fills in the gym leader roles and professor roles too.#‘Gay blue dragon and buff champion are in love’#‘op that feels like-‘ okay yeah we can all see my post history 😔
