I love how much artfight has been motivating for me - between my ankle injury and trying to cope with mortal necessities, I've felt so unlike myself. But the ankle injury has given me an unexpected break *laugh* Now I create madly as I am meant to in a week or two!

Did it 👍 (eventually) [ #cuteart #illustration ]

An illustration of a very silly, stylized white cat giving a disproportionately large & more realistic thumbs up. They have a goofy, huge open mouth smile and big blush. Over them it says “did the thing*” and below them it says, in smaller type, “*that was on my to-do list for 6 months and took about 5 minutes to actually do.” The illustration is off a bright yellow background.

Haranir with a frosty color palette - design by Ortis!
She's holding her staff that has music instrument-like strings attached on the branched out parts. She wears a blue outfit that has fur padding. Some leaf-like elements are flowing around her arms that's also part of it. Her expression is stern, distrustful.

I missed a curb going to work today and ended up in the hospital. Hardest boss challenge was a curb and my pride definitely took a hit . Please show me art or give me music recommendations to cheer me up.

Mother of Frogs - adoptable character preview image with watermark.
She's standing by the edge of a pond. Storm clouds are near in the background, and weeping willow branches are touching the water.

She wears an elegant green dress, with lilypad beret and shoulderpads on one side. She holds a floating tadpole cluster full of baby frogs.

On the right side of the artwork there is a separate art of her toad form, in a little frame.

The cosmic heart of the machine 11x17 pen and paper #surreal #macabre #PenAndPaper #TraditionalArt #DarkSurrealism #DarkArt #Art #InkSky #GrimDark

Pen drawing of a vaguely feminine figure with long trailing hair, but is a sliver of space in the outline of the body with stars and wispy white symbols up and down the length of their body. They flow out of and on a series of large organic looking machinery with carved reliefs of beings in fetal positions and symbols. This flows up to a blue and purple portal behind the being with the devices and a spherical ball of bluish energy behind their head being constrained by two arcs that reach up, incomplete as if creating the upper part of an eye with the sphere being a pupil at the center. The sky above burns with a pale reddish hue streaked with blue and white.

I think there is a definite reason why 'rain' and 'insane' rhyme. Humans act just a little more off in it. Could just be in the Midwest, however.

Some rare good news: small promotion at work, small raise! And possibly new more reliable transportation as a reward! The will to art has still been drained out of me most nights, but life improves in small ways.
