Happy Pride!
I'm a trans nonbinary bisexual artist and ALL of my characters & art should be presumed queer unless explicitly stated otherwise. 🌈🏳️‍⚧️🥰

A collage illustrating the setting for “The Promenade.” There is a photo of Elfreth’s Alley, a painting of James Forten, a stack of books, spools of thread and a blackboard with the question, “Will the Cassey girls be schooled in love— or wind up in stitches?”

THE DAVENPORTS X PRIDE & PREJUDICE
The Black community in 1825 Philadelphia won’t let a few raggedy slave catchers stand between them and their plans for a school— in The Promenade, Judy Cassey’s mouth could put the school, her marriage prospects and her sister’s freedom at risk. #WIPPIT #HF #OWN

digital illustration of a woman smoking a cigarette; in the background are two pendants in the shape of a broken heart, each half containing the image of a woman's face. over the image are the words CONTRACT CUPID.

Syd Hart is a “reverse matchmaker” or “breakup artist”, a professional who uses any means necessary to end other people’s relationships. She has a wide variety of clients: jealous exes, disapproving parents, and even members of the couples themselves. A dyed-in-the-wool cynic, she considers it her calling to put the break in heartbreak. Also, it’s a living. Syd has always maintained she can handle any client—right up until she’s hired by the patriarch of a (definitely not organized crime) family to prevent the engagement of his (definitely not mafia princess) daughter to her (definitely not mafia princess) girlfriend, who also happens to be the scion of his business competitor. His totally normal and above-board business competitor. With the help (and hindrance) of her thrice-revoked PI’s license, her bright-eyed and bushy-tailed intern, Barnaby “Bunny” Wimberly, and a whole slew of meddling definitely-not-mobsters, Syd throws herself into the job—only to find that the biggest challenge of all, to both her heart and her life, might be the happy couple themselves.

Chapter One: I NEED TO STOP MAKING ENEMIES Somethin’ a lotta people don’t know about Cupid is that he’s got two sets of arrows. The first set’s the classic: gold, love-drenched, ethically dubious. The kind that hits you in the ass and makes you go heart-eyed for Matt from Advertising, or Matt from Accounting, or just generally Matt from Anywhere who’d never get a date without divine fucking intervention. The other set’s lead. The toxic kind. It doesn’t make the Valentines cards, but it does make divorce lawyers—and me—a pretty decent living. Mostly off chumps with an excess of cash and a shortage of brainpower. “Hang on.” Bunny held up a hand to stop my dictation. He frowned bemusedly at his laptop, which was about two sizes too small for him, and gestured with his mug, which was also two sizes too small for him. Altogether he looked like a dad at a toddler’s tea party. “I don’t know that this is the best advertising copy, boss.” This is what you get for bringing on interns. One minute they’re all let me fix the copier, boss and need a hangover cure, boss? and the next they’re on their high horse telling you how to do your job. “What’s wrong with it?” I asked. “Telling potential clients they have a shortage of brainpower is a little…” He wobbled his hand in the universal sign for iffy. “Also, you’re pretty much guaranteeing no one named Matt will ever hire you.” “Not seeing the problem. We don’t need clients named Matt.” “Our last client was named Matt.” “Yeah, and he sucked. That’s where I got the idea.”

self-proclaimed "breakup artist" gets in over her head when she's hired to prevent the engagement of mafia princesses from feuding families.

Hello all! My husband is looking for clients that need video editing, After Effects animations and Live2D rigging. If you're interested shoot us a message!

Three-panel moodboard consisting of three pieces by Alphonse Mucha. Left: Emerald. A serpent snarls at the viewer from amidst green lilies. Center: The Moon. A woman wearing nothing but a navy blanket covered in stars stands against a backdrop consisting of the night sky and a crescent moon. She covers her smile with one hand. This image is noticeably lower in quality than its neighboring panels. Right: Salon des Cent. A woman conceals her mouth with a hand, her index finger curled down. She's glaring intensely at the viewer. A golden filigree lines the bottom and frames the sides, partially covering the left and right panels.

DRAGONFALL x FFXIV
Shortly into his first adventure, luckless Mick finds himself stuck in the body of a dragon with a god in his head. Now he and his mage bff(/crush) Eleanor must take control of Mick's new draconic magic and purpose before his existence triggers a divine war.

I meant if you can't find an equivalent, I can buy and ship at no cost to you! :3c my husband is Brazilian so I'm familiar with the insane $/R ratio. It would be relatively nothing for me. But my fingers are crossed for you to find something local!

Miss All Sunday WIP

Additionally, all extra funds will be donated to the Trans Lifeline!!

(also i know im linking a US company to a Brazilian--hopefully you have preferred pet toy suppliers that stock similar? but if they don't, feel free to dm me... i will literally ship you some fsdljkfklf)

A digital sketch of a character in a sundress with tanned skin and vibrant, golden hair looking over her shoulder. She stares back at the viewer with an indignant expression, uttering "hmph" with her lips pursed and her eyes squinting. Next to the sketch is a reference page depicting her in a more neutral pose/expression, as well as a palette reference for her outfit.

he sounds kitten-aged and I Do Not Miss That Era 😅 My girl loves interactive toys w/ a battery so I can walk away--I can vouch for these:

www.chewy.com/pawspik-inte...

she also has a robotic snake she LOVES but I hate the sound of it lol

Same thing w/ scratchers! Does he like scratching furniture? Prolly needs a cloth/carpet cat tower. Does he love chewing cardboard? Cardboard scratchers. Is he like my Cat #1 and likes scaling windows screens? Might need a multi-texture setup that "fights" him a little more.

Cats have their own distinct preferences, so I can't recommend A Toy, but observe his preferred behaviors. My Cat #1 loves hunting small game, so she self-entertains w/ stuffed mice, but Cat #2 is very lazy and food motivated, so he needs treat puzzles or chew toys w/ elements like feathers!

By the way, I may need work starting in July! If you need an experienced pixel character animator for your project, please DM me or consider me in the future 🙏 :3

so, in addition to KOSA & many other things, if you find the internet useful & don’t want to see queer people placed on the sex offender registry for being inherently pornographic, IODA is worth your 5 minutes & calls to your senators and house rep.

a simple and graphic three-color drawing of a cat hanging from a tree branch, wailing in fear and misery. The text in the border around it says “Hang in there baby. You can cry. You can cuss. But you gotta hold on.”

Moodboard of eight images. Top left: A figure plays a violin in a dark room. The image is shot in such a way that only the violin and one of the player's hands is visible. Center left: A man stands in darkness; his head is on fire. Bottom left: A wireframe of a dragon against a bright orange background Top/mid center: Alphonse Mucha's Emerald, featuring a woman staring intensely at the viewer as she leans against the head of a snarling serpent. A white line is drawn straight through the image to neatly divide the woman's head from the serpent's. Bottom center: The Lovers, from the Art Nouveau Tarot deck, featuring a couple just about to kiss. The card is lying on a white space, surrounded by red/white roses. Top right: A figure in white robes wanders through a very green forest. Center right: A bolt of lightning arcs above a mountain range in a very violet sky. Bottom right: A black hole swirls in a sea of violet stars and nebulae.

GIDEON THE NINTH x FINAL FANTASY XIV
When luckless, magicless Mick agrees to be his mage best friend (and crush) Eleanor's adventuring partner, the last thing either of them expects is for him to be cursed with the body of a dragon and a mission to fight the gods.
