Hi I'm Gutter and I draw monsters and badass women. | she/her | wlw | white | Tip Jar: http://ko-fi.com/guttertongue Website: https://www.guttertongue.art/

Anyone else with pets just occasionally get emotional over the little creature in your house having a little brain with thoughts and feelings with which they have decided to trust and love you or am I just hormonal

To anyone who, like me, has suffered from "by the time I am done with work I have no energy left to work on things for me" disease, I can highly recommend giving yourself an hour (or even just 30 mins) at the START of your day to just draw for you. It seems so simple but took me forever to do.

Anyway this wildfire smoke is putting me firmly in The Headache Zone so work is gonna be s l o w for the next however long. To anyone currently in the queue: thanks so much for your patience. 💀❤️

Back on my FMA bullshit after rewatching Brotherhood with the roomie and realized I never posted these old lust/riza AU fanarts on bsky so now y'all get my brainworms.

I did a tonne of research so you don't have to. I talk about masking, air filtration, and air quality rating systems, & I give concrete suggestions to help you keep yourself and your loved ones safe. If you don't have this information yet, it's time to get educated. Wildfires don't respect borders.

For folks struggling to figure out how to deal with wildfire smoke, I put together some information a few years ago: apihtawikosisan.com/2023/09/miti...

This is getting much more serious. Please limit your time outdoors please stay informed about the wildfire smoke and where it is headed. SHARE THIS MAP. I have such a bad headache and we live in one of the black spots. It's BARELY begun, here. I don't know what we are gonna do on Friday. 🥲

Thank you to @guttertongue.bsky.social for this absolutely excellent character design! Decades as a petty tyrant proved disappointing: bandits obnoxiously gristly, subjects obnoxiously thankful. So they set off for uncharted lands and the monsters lurking within, hoping for a real challenge.

A character sheet depicting a monstrous fantasy character. They are similar in appearance to an enormous slug, although the front of their body rises up into a humanoid torso, arms, and head. They are tan and brown in color, with their 'mantle' covered in spots and lined with a row of eyestalks. Their gastropod 'foot' is lighter in color, almost a dark yellow. They are capable of rapidly secreting hard metallic 'scales' as a defense, and reabsorbing them back into their body once the threat recedes.

They wear a crude necklace with three animal skulls, a green spotted rag tied around the waist of their humanoid portion. A number of larger monster skulls are tied together with rope and also worn like a belt around their waist. Into the back of their mantle are stuck a number of broken bladed weapons.

The frontal portion of this character's body is protean in nature, and so they have a number of forms. The form they prefer is that of a muscular humanoid woman, although they also sometimes appear as a much skinnier humanoid man. In both cases they have spots on their shoulders, unkempt brown hair, eyes with black sclera and red irises, and dark fingernails. They can also take on any of a number of considerably more monstrous forms should the need arise.

The character sheet depicts the following images of them:

A side view depicting their full body, with dark brown overlapping scales covering every part of their body except their mantle, arms, and head.

Two halfbody views depicting their humanoid guises.

A primitive looking axe, which they keep as a favored weapon.

Two frontal halfbody views depicting their humanoid form with and without their defensive scales.

A fullbody depiction of them in their monstrous form. They are rearing up, and the humanoid part of their body has been replaced by a monstrous looking 'head' with six clawed arms and a pair of horns covered in eyes.

Every time I reach Saturday (which is sort of a half work day/personal projects day on my scheduling) I am so deeply exhausted that the thought of working on anything whether fun or not is just. Very [adjective].
