CrossRoadArt- Bear (is writing Sloan shit)

A graphic captioned sunday memeday. Character art of Proteus Xlato and Archeon Mochizuki from the book Mochizuki and Xlato. Two memes. 'I don't have to make everything gay but I want to and I fucking will.' 'Born to say are you fucking stupid forced to say wow ive never thought about it like that before.'

*** Mochizuki & Xlato A book cover for Mochizuki & Xlato by Noah Hawthorne, also known as Aelina Isaacs, illustrating a pale vampire, wearing a white shirt with the sleeves rolled up, a dark waist coat and dark slacks, laying on his back in the wet midnight grass. He smokes a cigarette, whose strong tobaccan smoke wafts in the air in a thick stylized current, floating into the moonlight and carrying his lower body up with it. He doesn't pay it any heed though, because he is looking for aliens. His attention is entirely consumed looking into the end of the brass telescope that he lays under, adjusting dials and tilting the angle because some exterior force keeps subtly shifting the scope. That force, meddling with the telescope, is the incredibly obvious alien floating in the smoke. They are a huge being, large enough to near fill the cover with their imposing girth, and they are a handsome one with all the charisma of the god Dionysus and the quiet personal amusement of the fey. They have grey skin that glitters with the fragmented hues of opals between patterns like a shark that are most apparent in their long ribbon like ear lobes. Their half lidded eyes are black with white irises and look down over a shallow wide nose with condensing humour at the vampire looking for them. They're not exactly a danity creature, at least a plump four times the width of the vampire, and even in the dark they glow from the gills slicing through their cheeks and neck. What's more they are not a modest dresser, in open flowing robes that themselves are transparent, and a silk scarf with jingling celestial jewellery. But still, in the starry night they remain unnoticed and amuse themselves with this fact by gently pushing the telescope that is being utilised to find them.

🔭 Antagonistic, they are. 🔭

Mochizuki and Xlato: When an Vampire Falls in Love With A Star is like a thunderstorm at night, and these two clash like lightning.

A graphic captioned Sunday Memeday. Character artwork of Shadow, a forest creature, and Ezraphim, an older masculine human. There are two memes. Date a forest god who leaves acorns and flowers outside your door as presents. 6ft and bottoming... this is the type of greed they talk about in the Bible.

A paperback copy of An Outstretched Hand A Tarot Spread of Queer Stories, laying in the wet grass and leaves.

Old Grieving Mercenary and his Scary Forest Creature, aka the short story Temperance, is one of my favorites. There's botanical body horror, mischievous creatures, and well ... the memes say it all 🔥🌿❄️

A graphic captioned Vampstar. There is an illustration of Proteus Xlato, a smug looking being wearing glasses and a celestial necklace. They have tousled hair, and an arched eyebrow. An excerpt beneath is “The discovery of celestial bodies is a personal favorite of mine.” A warm voice offers instead, along with a healthy dose of suggestion. “I’m afraid that discussion may have to wait until after, however,” the stranger says, breaking me out of my critical fugue. “Unless you need assistance with teaching, as well?”'

The sassy new professor who loves to show skin and has a bit of an attitude problem, Proteus Xlato is unlike any of the love interests we've encountered in Levena thus far. I am thoroughly enjoying the catty dynamic between them and the grumpy vampire.

A drawing of Mega Starmie wearing a hat and an apron with the text "Best flippin' dad ever" grilling up some burgers for a small Staryu with a green cap and a little baby Staryu.

Regular Man Starmie loves to partake in regular man activities such as grilling. The kiddos love it so much!

Apparently it's pfp day where you post your pfp

Mine was drawn by Bear @crossroadart.bsky.social who does all my book covers and did some character art for me, too. I wanted my book covers and author photo in a uniform style, so I'm glad Bear agreed to draw her! She is Kira of the Wind, my avatar

A pineapple!!!

Pineapple progress!!

It seemed like a good idea. Honestly it was a good idea, it worked perfectly. Being an authentic himbo of a man, he was delighted by the prospect of an up close encounter with some birds and so carefully took the bird feeder and looped it over of the prongs of his antler that stretched out beyond his face. Being a familiar face the birds were ready, impatient even, 3 sat on his antlers waiting, vocally twittering a want for him to move his hands so they could get on with breakfast. And standing there some time after, in nothing but his pants, he probably enjoyed some passage of time watching the birds eat, till they left or he got distracted, and there in came the flaw. This big silly beef cake most definitely did forget he had a bird feeder hanging off his antlers for the rest of the day.

He definitely forgot it was hanging there at some point.

They’re prone to doing adorable shit sometimes 😂

The gold standard ✨

A graphic captioned Vampstar, featuring an illustration of Archeon Mochizuki illustrated by Crossroad Art. Another caption beneath reads. “I am Dr. Archeon Mochizuki.” I announce to the room at large, marking my name across the chalkboard in a quick and efficient looping script. I underline my name with a harsh slash, then turn. Students watch me, eyes wide and ready to devour.“And if memory serves correctly, you are here to learn astrophysics. Not the nuances of my personal life. If you find yourself in the wrong class, now is the time to leave.”

I am back to indulging myself with this grumpy vampire and his newly appointed rival, my favorite sassy star.

Mochizuki and Xlato is the story of When A Vampire Falls in Love With a Star.

This man is disgustingly pretty. Alarmingly even. What with the sharp jaw line and shoulders length the hair falling about the lines of his neck before his muscular shoulders. No one would blame you for being so startled by his very fey countenance that you resolved to hit him with your car; in fact you wouldn't be the first. It's not that he’s a bad man, he’s just not a very clever one, and hasn’t ever clocked that it's not that his antlers are making people assume he’s some roe buck, and thus startling them into a defensive reaction, but more the fact that he is neighked (forgive the spelling) and only confusing matters with his statuesque physique. When people give a police report on the adonis wondering through the woods, they won't even think to mention the doe ears, they never noticed them. Along side finding some clothes that do more for modesty that whatever that sarong is that he is currently tying around his waist, he might consider that when he looks through his brow at people with those come hither eyes, over that slightly rugged crook in his nose, he’s prompting a certain fight or flight response, and asking to eat a windscreen. Again.

When people look up the word ‘himbo’ they’ll be a picture of this man, or something like him; whether or not the small antlers protruding from his shaven side and soft deer ears exclude him is your call, but in every other sense he fulfils the definition. Observe the way he sits, legs totally unpoised, one folded before him, the other behind, with his arms propping him up. This man is no threat, his beef cake physique might suggest the potential but with that body language, in nothing but gym shorts and socks, the thought of pouncing upon anyone has not crossed his mind, indeed not much has crossed his mind at all. Who knows what he is blushing up at to his right, with doughy eyes, a goofy smile and a vaguely crimped brow (because after all he is always a little confused); some lovely being or perhaps a lot of good food? Whatever it is, he's interpreting it in soft feelings and warm colours since syllables are a little out of range. Indeed somewhere behind his giant tits there beats a heart of gold, Behind that stray hair falling over his forehead sits a nice spaciousness cranium, And the packaging speaks for itself. Very much the epitome of the deerbros I draw.

An incredibly well built and toned elvish man, especially in the chest and torso, with Hector of Troy air about him. Despite his long tied back hair, woven tiara and even the fact that he is topless, he seems an incredibly stoic and square individual. Regal, totally humourless and the oldest brother who all takes all the responsibility. He’s absolutely no fun, though his younger siblings do still make their sport out of him when they think he’s out of earshot. Here he sits with his hands on his upper thighs and looks over his shoulder, both confused and deeply unimpressed at the humans giggling at him. He doesn't usually have to converse with humans, he has no idea what they're tittering at, but he knows it's an appalling way to treat a guest. Also it makes them look stupid. And makes him feel very self conscious.

Happy birthday! I hope you had a wonderful time.
And thank you so much for the art share ✨

Might share some of my latest anatomy study sketches if that’s ok 👹

Modern times Mari Lwyd is disappointed that nobody wants to follow traditions and rhyme with her anymore, so she has to go to the store and buy everything herself

I drew some demure chickens 💅

Ah mate, thank you so much 😆👹

Thank you, it was a new body type for me to learn this year, it’s honestly been very interesting.

You’re so welcome. Thank u for the share ❤️

A collection of thick-inked doodles of goth enby Jay on a dark purplish background. From the top left they give a loving head-smooch to their boyfriend Kay who uncharacteristically smiles back at them. Beside them a silly ghost Jay woos at you with waggly fingers. Beneath them floats a devil horn-signing Jay in cropped purple hoodie, rough-cut black jorts and long white-and-purple socks and converse. In the bottom left a few Jay heads show them respectively applying black lipstick, staring groggily into the middle distance having just awoken, and gasping in shock to the viewer a la The Scream. To the right a small Jay holds a Tangela aloft, beside which another Jay poses with an arched back as if checking their new outfit of striped gloves, crop top, plaid skirt and fishnets. The profile of a stoic Jay face thrusts in from the right of frame, below which a rather more excited, smiling Jay holds their keytar aloft, rocking out as much as one can with a keytar.

Getting a little dissatisfied with my inking and colour work, I thought I'd have a crack at something more stylised. Jay was, apparently, very much up to be my guinea pig. They'll try anything at least once.

an illustration of Honey's oc Zephyr. they're sitting at a wooden table and resting their head against one of their hands. they're looking at the viewer with a soft smile as their tail sways gently behind them there's a red wine bottle and two wine glasses on the table filled with the wine which they're sharing with someone, possibly the viewer if they would like~ the label on the bottle reads "Crimson Infernal Blend"

a chibi illustration of Honey's elf sona/oc. he is holding a pink and white umbrella that has heart designs and big bow on it, he is also floating with it. he is looking at the viewer with a big smile and is using his constellation magic to make a heart shaped constellation
