Let's go I'm jumping on the train too

1 like = 1 line from one of my WIPs/published works

Ooh, this looks fun -- I'll play. 1 like = 1 random line from one of my WIPS/Published works (so all Riyati stuffs)

aaaaa thank you! I did get the best angle for the pic but there's some paint splatter elsewhere 😅

A photo of a mini figurine with shoulder pauldrons and a blue cloak, now fully painted, standing on a black and gold circular base. The figure is holding a sword pointed tip-down in front of him.

Painting's a bit janky but the boy is done 🔥

Fake cover for my WIP novel, Shrike & Thorn, book 1 in the Canic Chronicles.

Digital illustration of Narok and Kasandra. Kas is pulling Narok's necklace, forcing his head closer to hers. He is pointedly trying not to look at her boobs while she gives him bedroom eyes.

Hey, I'm Roan (🏳️‍⚧️ he/him)! My current project is my fantasy novel about a trans monster hunter & the chaotic bisexual sorceress he teams up with to solve a murder. Thanks for stopping by! 🐺🔮

i had to reread but the amount of rage I felt when I understood- 🤣

I will now be inflicting this on everyone I know

I once shot a man for criticizing my text alignment.

It was justified.

OC lore train: explain their lore the worst way possible.

Against a dark background, the cover of a book called A Path of Endless Crossroads by MC Burnell, a man with a sword walking into a desolate landscape. Text reads: SET FORTH: The Tipping World, Vol 1. No one but a mage can kill a mage and now they're vanishing.

A huge full moon in a dark blue sky. There is a big block quote: “The mage had a response to her skepticism, a pretty compelling one: she need not take him at his word, he was offering her the chance to learn the truth. Provided the process of learning what was true and what was not, what was real and what was myth, wasn’t a trap. One that would ensnare her and remake her into precisely what the mage said mages weren’t. All she had to do was take him at his word.”

They can see lies and hear feelings, but they can't know what's true or whom to trust by means of magic. They're going to find out the hard way, just like normal people.

A comic panel crop of my OCs Tassera and Vale against a purple and gold background. Vale on the left is a man with elf ears, purple eyes and long dark hair in a ponytail. He wears a blue jacket over a blue and shirt shirt and leans to the right toward Tass with a grin. Tass is a woman with tan skin, green eyes and her long purple hair in a braid over her shoulder. She wears a teal vest over a white shirt, she leans toward Vale giving him a grin.

You will never see Tass this apologetically abashed again

A golden doodle lying on a rug on a hard floor, doing a big stretch.

Ooh big stretch

It's a elf standing on a branch. She seems to be relieved, touching nature by her hand. All the leave are quite yellow and brown vibe like if it was autumn but in these sad forest, her dress is like a ocean of colors. It's shining, and it's like a rainbow representating her majesty.

First post of the year !
Is it a queen or a lost princess ? 👑

a digital #art painting. a woman in front of a blue rectangle with a light green border. behind her is a terracotta amphora with stars spitting out of it. she has long reddish hair and wears a seafoam bra and long seafoam skirt that melts into the water. she holds her pale arms out and a star hovers above her hands.

A piece I was working on last night. I think I'm developing a "style"?

Dear friends: if you try to only forward things that have alt text, please make sure the alt text is useful. "Screenshot of a facebook post" isn't.

needless to say I will reiterate this as often as it takes

Things are grim right now but as a reminder of who we are and why we fight, this is the US Women’s figuring skating champion.

A beige graphic with the title "new year, new website!" promoting a new author website for T.C. Smith. A screenshot of the website is photoshopped onto a laptop in the middle of the graphic. Description text above it reads "check out my books, portfolio, and more!" Below the image is the URL for the website: https://www.tcsmithauthor.com/

I have a new website!

Moving to a different hosting platform meant I had to overhaul everything, but everything is set back up again! You can still order author copies of books directly from me, buy my e-books, and more! The only thing that's changed is the layout.
