Hi, i'm blue, a nonbinary writer, poet, and artist! I mostly draw my ocs from my novels-in-progress :)

Kofi: ko-fi.com/breadifer
Carrd: tinyremains.carrd.co

Digital art of two of my ocs. A white wolf with yellow eyes (May) staring up at a white raven with orange eyes (Skalva). The raven has a pale pink beak and pale pink talons. The background is an abstract forest. The whole scene is covered in a sparkling shimmer.

Digital art of our cat Oddsock, a long-haired, dilute calico cat, curled up in a ball on a gray-blue bg

Digital art of my werewolf oc May looking into a medicine cabinet mirror. Her long brown hair is wet, and her face is split in half by the door panes. Behind her is a window and a shower curtain. An outlet and faucet are below the mirror (and a barely visible little house spider), while above is a dusty light fixture and cobwebs (and another little house spider in the right corner).

Digital drawing of my oc Skalva with a limited purple + pink + brown colour palette. They have a purple flower (not based off anything specific) poking out of their buttondown shirt pocket, and they are surrounded by more purple flowers. On the left: lilac, wolf's bane, lily, hyacinth, a striped flower not really based off anything specific. On the right: coneflower, aster, lavender, iris, pansy. In the top left is the colour palette from kiraelric.bsky.social

🎂 It's my special cake and candles day you all have to be nice to me because it's been QUITE the year 🎂

So share some of my paintings??

In the pew-lined interior of a dim medieval church lit by rows of candles on tall staffs and pale sunlight coming through a window, a tall humanoid crow figure with flowing black robes and a glowing yellow eye stands beneath an ornately carved semicircular arch in Norman Romanesque style. On the wall surrounding the arch are many colourful murals depicting more humanoid crow figures with halos, carrying various items including swords, spears, harps, and chalices.

A painting set in a cosy shady woodland clearing on a sunny summer's day. In the centre of the frame, two figures sit on a fallen log mostly hidden by vegetation. The figure on the right has wavy blonde hair down past her shoulders, and wears a flowing white floor-length dress with long sleeves, with delicate lacework around the cuffs and neckline. She looks into the distance with a contemplative, sad expression. On her lap rests a small green book, covered by both of her hands.
The figure on the left sits leaning with her head against shoulder of the other figure. She wears a similar dress but simpler, and in a dark slate grey. Her hair is dark and straight, and flows down her tilted face, and she looks off towards a nightingale bird perched on a nearby branch. She raises a hand towards the other figure as if to get her attention.

Both figures are surrounded by various flowers. On the left of the frame are many spires of foxglove flowers in vivid pink and white, interspersed among green stinging nettles. On the right are the purple flowers of monkshood/wolfsbane.

Wrapping around the figures is a clear stream flowing from a distant pond that descends in a series of steps. Around the stream are many small mossy rocks, and shoots of dark green dog's mercury.

Above and behind the figures and flowers are two trees; on the left is a weeping willow with dangling dark green leaves. On the right are the branches of an old ash tree.

A snowy scene in which a humanoid figure in long black robes with the head of a rook stands in a churchyard holding a long spear. By its feet is a red fox. Both are flecked with fallen snow. Around them are many weathered snow-covered graves. In the background is a medieval church of warm coloured stone with large rectangular windows and a battlemented parapet topped with pinnacles. Behind the main body of the church is the tower with clock face and belfry. Behind the church are tall but bare trees dusted with snow. More snow falls in the air.

I am tired of this unfair racism.
How unfortunate it is when one of your children is diagnosed with a cancerous tumor and you are powerless to save their life from this deadly cancer.

This means if you're in the UK and haven't signed this yet, please do. At 100k signatures they have to discuss it again.

Literally the least you can do!!

UK Gouvernment: Payment Processors Can Ban NSFW Content
According to the UK treasury, payment processors are in the right and the gouvernment has no plans to step in. This puts it in direct contrast to what artists and the UK games industry have asked for.

We report: the dregs of the evening pass us by, quiet, flat sound waves reverberating across the fields. Our expert dropped their keys as they took their hands out of their pockets, and we are now hunched over the ground with our torch lights, looking for a glint in the grass.

Digital painting of a dusk sky, shades of purple and dark blue, long, dark wispy clouds obscuring the lower half of the sky. There are lamp posts on the horizon, with phone lines stretched between them, a few trees, and the silhouette of a sign post, all of them dark in the evening light.
