Sierra Rush

An illustration of an eerie forest with an overcast sickly teal and green, where all the trees are dead or missing leaves. A woman in the foreground is summoning roots to her hands wearing a white tattered dress with her black hair loose over her shoulders. In the middle of the forest a large animated tree is moving toward her with a corrupted potentially undead dryad coming out of it. Her bark skin is blueish, and her hair a desatureated purple. There is a creature in a hole in one of the trees.

Tall Goliath Warlock Female presenting character from Dungeons and Dragons, pale blue skin, eldritch tattoos. Her hair has a long braid from the top of her scalp with both sides shaved. Her overall aesthetician is very necromantic, including a partially visible magical xray-esque skeleton showing through her right leg. She is holding eldritch energy with her left hand, leaning on a cane made of a bone with her right and surrounded by black and purple magic smoke. She was illustrated in procreate 5 on an iPad pro.

An illustration of a pale purple fantasy woman who has small nubs of horns, and a long devil's tail with fluff at the end. She is kneeling naked, holding a white weasel to her chest. Her hair is long wavy and white and she has pointed ears with a bit of fluff on them. Her eyes are two different colors. She is a changeling and has white freckles all over her body. The weasel covers her breasts as she cuddles him to her face. The background is simple and also largely purple.

Been awhile since I've posted any recent digital art anywhere because I haven't had much time but also so many platforms don't allow the Fₒᵣbᵢddₑₙ nipnops. So here's my recent three. I should probably paint something other than mostly naked ladies for a bit.

I meant through physical therapy lol.

But it was the microsoft comfort curve 3000. 2000 works.

Gluck!

Look up alternate pen holds for people with arthritis/injury/ect. When I was a teen and my auto immune disease was going ham on giving me inflammation in my hands I went through sŕlĺįome physical therapy that taught me alternative ways to use things and I got a keyboard that I swear saved me.

I feel embarrassed I did not realize you had a hand in this. It's one of my favorite movies. I hear the makeover scene song in my head *all* the time. It's an earworm that has never left.

It's worth noting I came out then as bisexual. I was well known for having a boyfriend for my entire high school life. I still got slurs and so my friend and I embraced it and would purposefully canoodle to make the teacher and jerks uncomfy. I wore my rainbow socks neigh constantly.

Feelin' awkward but I love this pair so I feel a NEED to share them.

I grew up near Seattle. I remember the slappy slap of the denim flares in the pouring rain vividly. But now I live somewhere that I can avoid pants.

Still. It's why I don't like wearing them..

I chronically wear flipflops/sandals because I can and florida. It turns out I hate shoes now but I also hate it when I walk in tall grass or a sandy area and my feet get wet or and sandy or covered in little plant seed things. I just want to not have feet. But will I wear shoes? No.

Of course. The amazing dream I had that should be a novel that I wrote down to not forget about and promptly forgot.

Not sure what caused the eye loss but he will compensate! My goblin of a Boston terrier nearly poked his eye out at 6months old. (Only one layer of membrane was between him and it getting removed).. It healed but his vision on that side is quite terrible.

Bounced back quick though!

Er to be clear. I'm not supporting a guy I don't know.

I just know your take on his failures is apt.

If I could get them delivered to me right now I'd probably pay an embarrassing amount.

Livin' in my Baba Yaga Witch Hut, deep in the enchanted forest swamp is wonderful. However, the lack of delivery is absolutely one of the big downsides. I need some forest spirits willing to go get potato slabs.

Speaking from the unique position of heir of a successful illustrator. You are correct.

Even if some of us rise above. The imposter syndrome alone is like a too heavy weighted blanket you can't take off most of the time even when you do the thing.

But the publishing industry has changed too.

A silly stress relieving doodle I did of my cat, the Dark Lord herself, Boober the Imp, as Yzma. It's a WIP She's a sphynx calico which is interesting to capture in color. I love the b&w.

i don't think I could ethically put her in this actual costume if I made it because of the brows.

For some reason my fig tree has decided to reach for the sky and give actually no figs. I have fig envy. Its sibling remains barely two and a half feet tall.

I just want them to give me figs!

We had 2. But it was 2004.

I became the third but even before I did. We had an OPENLY homophobic health teacher and none of the teachers or parents (except mine and one other) cared.

I got called slurs. It wasn't a big school. 300 kids. Staff could have done something if they wanted.

Not on my desktop but in my personal, scrap journal styled discord I have a similarly titled channel filled with crap that was probably important.

I'm in my early 30s if it helps. But Ciara is a musician and one of her famous songs is "1, 2 Step" I knew of the song when it was asked of me but just barely. But the question has stuck with me for years.

Someone once asked me if my name was "One Two Step Ciara or Mountain Sierra".

Logically I know this. I do. But I don't trust myself not to just..

Steal more books on accident.

I mean fair. But Therion's got an amazing bass in there and it's all 1920s themed..just in case that changes your mind.

May I suggest listening to a cover to Summer Night City by Therion?

This is an open suggestion to anyone who might appreciate unique takes on beloved songs.

There's a few other good ones of that particular song. But this one has a certain charm to it.

I've felt that rage at doctors and the system that should be taking care of our loved ones a lot lately too.

Hugs. I wish it was better..for both of us and our families.

I fear that some secret library police will emerge from the stacks of mysteries and crime and arrest me for my years of unreturned books across multiple libraries.

I wonder if this is him really not thinking about it or adopting the same philosophy I have had with character names in writing and games - people will pronounce them differently than you do and you can't prevent that. Maybe he wasn't sure which version to pick for the public..

Just because an heir can doesn't mean they should be able to. But even then, people who don't have any rights over a deceased person's work or image also are a problem, people have made entire d&d sessions with celebrity AI for the voices. And that's a tame use.

I concur here.. as someone who inherited art rights and more or less controls my father's legacy as an illustrator and public figure. Some things just aren't in good taste and we do need laws more now, because AI makes it easier to use a dead person's image, or voice and there's already issues.
