i'm b. belltether and i make comics, illustrations, 3D models, and stories about my profusion of pathfinder/ttrpg characters.

also, sometimes draw porn of them.

A woman's eye gleams and her aura flares as she looks into the camera.

A greyscale drawing of a woman with draconic features walking through a market, eating falafel happily.

A warm, inviting digital invitation of a man with glasses dancing with a woman with brown hair, under a profusion of lanterns.

Teaser for our next Kinktober piece. Rory's getting a little distracted while working on their alchemical stores.

A rough sketched of a young man with braided hair leaning on a desk as he reads the label on a bottle in his hand. "Octopus Potion: Eight flailing octopus arms covered in suckers pop out from the sides of your body when you imbibe this potion." A glimpse of the rest of the image shows a leg wrapped in a tentacle.

kinktober 07: outdoors (dubious / compromised consent; continued from 6 - sex pollen)

A woman with a rather silly expression beneath a larger figured in dark armor, in a position suggesting sex. Both figures have a bright pink sigil sparking on their chests. Sorry. Listen. I don't know how to do a good description anymore, I'm so tired.

“This two-handed soldier’s sword was huge and aberrant and frankly malicious, and utterly your responsibility.”

A drawing of Harrowhark Nonagesimus from The Locked Tomb series, dressed in hospital clothes while hugging a glowing two handed sword and crying, her gaze a little lost.

🤝the mood of the century. unfortunately confronting a similar vein of "doing something daily means you can't make every day perfect and that SUCKS i want to be PERFECT"

also the misery of "could be making art to bring joy. instead making [content] no one cares about."

contemplating the severely stupid option of using "free space/artist choice" day to draw an interlude for hannie to get some explanations because my brain is SCREAMING at me that i can't just hard jump to her next sex scene without SOMETHING

b. belltether @belltether.bsky.social · 19h

so if for the next 2 days we return to suspiciously easy, unchallenging poses of lesbians, just... let me have this

kinktober 06: sex pollen (dubious / compromised consent)

A picture of a flower.

A woman kneels to pick the flower.

She puts it in her hair.

The same woman kneels on the ground, with the dark sky behind her. She thinks, and as she thinks, the speech bubbles containing her thoughts turn from white to pink.

I can’t— take it anymore. I don’t understand. The whole day, it’s like I’ve been burning from the inside… and nothing can put the fire out. My fingers aren’t enough, I need—

As she thinks, her thoughts are framed by pictures of her touching herself beneath her skirt, exposing her split-drawers.

From on the ground, the woman says, “Branwen? “

A man in dark armor, standing at a distance replies, “Yes, lady?”

“C-could you… come here? (Small text) Please? I need… your help.”

The woman spreads her legs, baring her cunt, teary-eyed. She asks, “W-would you please… fuck me?”

it's so literally true. it's about the Concepts and Situations that come from narrative context (or create narrative implications) > boobies out, one-time character, no-context pinup. narrative is the beautiful evening gown to frame the metaphorical titties

b. belltether @belltether.bsky.social · 2d

“people are perverts for narrative context” no truer words. conversely, I’m also addicted to creating narrative context, even (especially) for porn

hope my inability to do single image prompts is really doing it for you all

I've been working on an essay about The Struggles of TTRPG Outreach and Fandom but I think this tumblr post just captured the whole sentiment im like 100 words.

Fact: Apart from pure recognition factor, one of the major reasons your fanart gets more eyes on it than your OCd is because people are perverts for narrative context, and your OCs don't have any.

Corollary: you don't actually need to write a whole-ass graphic novel to achieve that narrative context. You do need to know what your OC's story is, but once you do, you can literally just draw contextless snapshots from that story that raise more questions than they answer and people will fill in the blanks.

previews for day 6 as I fall behind again. 3/4 pages done

not certain still how I’ll handle posting it, if at all, tho I suppose it’s the follow-up that’s more the issue? Maybe. Idk.
