🦇Ash the Ninth🎃

why yes I do find it aggravating when I see people complaining about how cons constantly make them sick even though they take vitamins and use hand sanitizer and ignore the fact that the holes in their faces are constantly vacuuming in unfiltered germs

Enter the year if the Fire Horse
A new painting I did to celebrate boldness and strength. I'm wishing you all a brilliant year!

Cute bowls

Bear mug

Cute bowls and Bear mug pulled from the (repaired) kiln yesterday :) they’ll be available next Sunday, March 1st.

It’s what siblings are for! 😁

This is perfect and true 😂

I got into eating them cold out of the can in college and they’re totally disgusting like that but also GREAT

Oh cool!!!

Fresh warm bread is totally irresistible 😭

I freeze some and give the rest away to neighbors and family! We usually clear a loaf the same day lol

Recipe for bulk bread, sorry not typing it out today my hands hurt a lot

Here!

(I promise it’s just the angle that makes Mike’s hooves look so bizarrely long and shallow here, his feet are actually in pretty good shape this winter)

Two draft horses in a winter pasture full of dead grass, one blond shaggy Belgian with striped hooves grubbing for sprouts while his blonde surfer mane billows, the other an elderly black Percheron with two white back socks watching him while his curly black mine blows in the wind. They’re both very dirty.

I think they look great dirty and wet and with the wind dramatically blowing their scruffy fuzz about in the snow

A literal stainless steel bucket of bread dough

Six unbaked bread loaves rising in pans on the counter

BAKED

Was having a day so I made bread about it

A very fluffy gray tabby cat is sleeping between my legs while I watch a movie on my laptop, which has ever relegated to my shins to make room for her. Her little face is propped up on the laptop rest

She’s repositioned to curl herself into a fluff ball with her head upside down and half under the laptop

Precious angel meow meow who has done nothing wrong, ever, in her life

Ah, important context, that would also have been nice 😐

still happy to hear it but I do wish people wouldn't bury that in the lede so later everyone goes '...oh 😑' and then becomes disillusioned by scicomm

in any case. THANK GOD PLS FAST TRACK THE CLINICALS

Dark painting in classical style, depicting a woman in a white dress with her back facing the viewer, wrapped in red fabric. The face of a man peaking through the darkness, near the woman's bleeding neck.

Book mockup of the first illustration.

The Dracula cover I worked on is finally revealed.

I am very stoked about this project, because doing a cover art for a classical book is a dream I didn't know I had, and also because they agreed to have the cover art minimalistic and elegant, and I AM SO HAPPY ABOUT IT.

From r/AO3 Based on that "Worst possible AO3 features" post, here's the new AO3 for you guys (suitable for all your needs) It's ao3, but there are banners ads for gambling, a "reveal author's location" button, a photo of the author, a "verify your age" button next to the rating, "upgrade to premium to see characters", no tags, a star rating, a button that says "gift this fic a trophy for an algorithm boost", an ad for women in your area looking for love, payment buttons, and you can't read the fic because it says "you have reached your reading limit for the day".

Someone shared this in a discord I'm in. The ao3 of your nightmares.

Old art repost :)

Two digitally illustrated figures. One wears an ethereal silver dress and a long veil that has a web-like quality. The other wears a voluminous red poncho with white spot details.

And that's a green tarot-size pouch with gold inlay tested 🗡️🐍
Seems like the Garden Witch design will play nicely with almost all colours, so lets go back to the larger Festival pouch! 👜

Small shiny bronze-y wasp with large black feathery antennae which she's grooming as she rests on a dry pine needle

We got one little rain storm and all the tiny silly wasps are out again and I'm very pleased 🤎
These lovely little Encyrtids are pretty common and I love to see their comically large antennae flapping as they run. This lass was grooming hers.

Kuro (a black and tan shiba) and Yuni (a cream shiba) stare out from a white tub as they wait the 5 min between application and rinsing of allergy care dog shampoo. (its indoor allergy season)

Blessing the feed with some freshly bathed buppies

Oooh that’s a smart idea about noting it on the calendar; good to know it’s a consistent part of the healing process but yeah, not a fun revelation 😭
