a review on Chirp of The Reanimator's Heart that says 1 out of 5 stars. I was not expecting so much gay sex in a fantasy detective story

I think I should use this as one of those enticing 1 star reviews πŸ˜‚
If you want gay sex in a fantasy detective story, hit up THE REANIMATOR'S HEART, especially if you like autistic necromancers accidentally reanimating their detective crush, so they can solve his murder.

got another "i wish i could draw" comment this week and i am yelling the same thing i am always yelling: drawing is a technical skill. it's teachable and learnable and it is never "too late" to start picking it up

A watercolor painting of a satyr embracing a young man from behind,  gently peeling apart the man's flesh on his chest. Birds emerge from the opening in the man's chest. The man reaches one hand to back to caress the satyr's face, the other presses the satyr's hand to his chest. There's some circular celtic knotwork designs on the borders. The overall colors are warm golds and browns.

Finally finished this up! It's done in watercolor, gouache, and color pencils. I know I should try to render it in more detail but I'm not sure I want to. I like the texture being able to be textures. Maybe that will change in the future. For now, though, I like it πŸ˜…

Sir that is my emotional support panel I cannot wait to draw halfway through the story in a comic I have not yet started, and legally you cannot ask me about it.

So the modern stories reflect setting up the same bowling pins but Not knocking them down?

I also took this personally lmaoooo! but I think it comes from the nature of the beast in old school vampire lore; do not trust the rich men they will consume everything innocent and beautiful in this world etc

When people look up the word β€˜himbo’ there’ll be a picture of this man, or something like him; whether or not the small antlers protruding from his shaven side and soft deer ears exclude him is your call, but in every other sense he fulfils the definition.

Observe the way he sits, legs totally unpoised, one folded before him, the other behind, with his arms propping him up. This man is no threat, his beef cake physique might suggest the potential but with that body language, in nothing but gym shorts and socks, the thought of pouncing upon anyone has not crossed his mind, indeed not much has crossed his mind at all. Who knows what he is blushing up at to his right, with doughy eyes, a goofy smile and a vaguely crimped brow (because after all he’s always a little confused); some lovely being or perhaps a lot of good food? Whatever it is, he's interpreting it in soft feelings and warm colours since syllables are a little out of range.

Indeed somewhere behind his giant tits there beats a heart of gold,

Behind that stray hair falling over his forehead sits a nice spaciousness cranium,

And the packaging speaks for itself.

Very much the epitome of the deerbros I draw.

And to be fair, someone is home, but they’re playing the hamster dance really loudly and can’t hear you.
