Happy Halloween, y’all!

The Queen telling Lin to have two kids if she ever does is the hardest line in all of Sword Catcher.

Reading Sword Catcher and I am loving all of the characters, but especially the Ragpicker King - he reminds me a little of Kaz Brekker. Or who Kaz would quickly grow up into in Ketterdam, really.

Who wants to be served coffee by their friendly neighborhood demon?

Happy International Raccoon Day! I gave my little raccoon buddy some cotton candy, I hope he enjoys it!!!

Reading Lord of Shadow, and Kit referring to Jace as “a man” is sending me into fucking space. Jace being all grown up, running his own institute.. being seen as a grown-ass man. Help. 😭 I feel so old.

The way Julian and Emma talk about each other in their heads is so painfully poetic and full of yearning and deep rooted love. Just the way either one mentions the other is dripping with love. Any time Emma brings up Jules’ eyes, any time Julian sees Emma smile, and time either one is in pain..

This is the year I’m listening to books that I’ve needed to read for a long time; books from beloved series. Finished Bloodlines earlier in the year, now TDA. Both Vampire Academy and The Mortal Instruments have a special place in my heart, deep rooted in nostalgia.

Finally reading The Dark Artifices. I’ve been a Shadowhunters fan since 15, so it’s wild to not just finally finish TMI, but also TID and now read this series. I’ve still got another series left, but I’m going in the order suggested. Emma reminds me SO much of Aelin from ToG in the best of ways.

Saw these colors and knew I had to do jungle hah.

jungle plants in various greens and yellows

Monsteras are fun to draw; jungle plants are great until you have to figure out how you want to draw vines and hope they come out well.. Another palette challenge in the bag!

I watched a TikTok edit using Bad Bunny’s DtMF to the Jackie Wells montage at the beginning of Cyberpunk, and it fit so damn well and it made me feel some type of way that now every time I hear that song I think of Jackito.

The artist's drow oc seated in a white leather chair, he has a large canvas painting behind him and a vintage lamp beside him. Red frames sit on his face and he is dressed in a suit with an undone tie, white gloves and cigar in hand. Red, glowing dice are tossed from his right hand.

I think this is my favorite of all my Addifore pieces I've done and ironically it's the least popular 😅

Palette challenge continues with prairie flowers - I saw the purple-y palette and immediately thought of asters.

Always coming back to my love of Gothic horror book cover art.
Is she a vampire or a vampire hunter, what do you think?

When is Internet culture going to move past the rhetoric of “sleep is for the weak” or “I don’t sleep”, “naps are stupid” etc. as if proper rest is anti-cool. If YOU can’t sleep, maybe fix that issue? Otherwise, let’s normalize encouraging getting sleep.

What if...

Palette for anyone who’d like it.
