Spot color line art is the other relevant term. I’ll geeble more about it WHENEVER I GET TO SEE YOU.

@vampystardust.bsky.social figured out the term "stippling" is suuuuuper close to what I'm looking for.

It is! It's my favorite deck to use.

YES! That's it! (And yes, I was asking for tattoo design purposes.)

Just wait, Pete is going to see this thread, sigh in exasperation, and either immediately know the term or make me do a poorly-drawn version of what I mean.

Not ... quite? Less cross-hatching.

Yes, but does that carry the connotation of the thin edge/shading of color?

I'm sure I'm explaining this poorly, but I'm not ready to subject you folks to a badly-drawn image to show what I'm talking about.

Hey artist friends! I need help with the correct term for something: an illustration with black outline, but no color except for shading that follows the outline. So, if it was a Jack-o-Lantern, there would be some orange shading or stippling next to the lines of the pumpkin.

JILL TRACY Jill Tracy will transport you into a seductive and magical realm far beyond the Everyday. The place where we wished we lived. A dark, elegant netherworld full of hidden passageways, wonder cabinets, and opium dens. Of monsters, marvels and mayhem. You know it’s not safe here; but with Jill Tracy as your guide, you’ll be in no hurry to leave.

Today's soundtrack is shuffling through Jill Tracy's entire discography. If you haven't heard her before, I highly recommend giving her a listen!

Your daily affirmation:
Life is what you make it. So make a pillow fort, crawl inside, call your boss, and inform them it's National Pillow Fort Day and also a religious holiday.

Today’s advice from your Goth Auntie
-Stop slouching, drink some water, take your meds.
-Listen and help. (That includes listening to yourself.)
-Apparently today is National Blanket Fort day. The tiny cryptids are THRILLED.

The plainer key came from my Mom’s jewelry box, so it’s a necessary item.

My subconscious informed me that I should redo my charm bracelet and wear it more often.
