did you know @crybringer.bsky.social is really cool? you should check out his page to see how cool he is.

recent comms i got from Cry feat Sasja and Marie! #zazOC
commission from Crybringer of my oc Sasja. slightly low-angled shot, looking upwards at her. Sasja is looking down at the viewer with her head slightly to the side and away. she is resting her hands on her spiked war club in an intimidating demeanor. she has on only a sleeveless version of her leotard and gloves. monochromatic commission from Crybringer of my oc Marie. Marie is wearing her usual outfit (red open top tied below her breasts with deep cleavage window, rolled up sleeves, white gloves, midsection showing, black pants, black cap). she is holding up the bill of her cap with one hand and the other hand on her hip. her expression is that of something getting her attention just past the viewer

Wish I could internalize this
brightwanderer I think a lot about how we as a culture have turned "forever" into the only acceptable definition of success. Like... if you open a coffee shop and run it for a while and it makes you happy but then stuff gets too expensive and stressful and you want to do something else so you close it, it's a "failed" business. If you write a book or two, then decide that you don't actually want to keep doing that, you're a "failed" writer. If you marry someone, and that marriage is good for a while, and then stops working and you get divorced, it's a "failed" marriage. The only acceptable "win condition" is "you keep doing that thing forever". A friendship that lasts for a few years but then its time is done and you move on is considered less valuable or not a "real" friendship. A hobby that you do for a while and then are done with is a "phase" - or, alternatively, a "pity" that you don't do that thing any more. A fandom is "dying" because people have had a lot of fun with it but are now moving on to other things. I just think that something can be good, and also end, and that thing was still good. And it's okay to be sad that it ended, too. But the idea that anything that ends is automatically less than this hypothetical eternal state of success... I don't think that's doing us any good at all.

As you read the news today, watch who phrases the news as an "illegal invasion and regime change" versus "bringing democracy". It'll tell you everything you need to know about the news source you're reading, and frankly should decide whether you ever read them seriously again.

#HappyNewYear, everybody!
[Happy New Year 2026] -Freya + Movie Night (x) clothes optional <3 & takeout dumplings) A sketch of a grey fox-girl, Freya enjoying a New Year's movie night. With only her hoodie draped over her hips, Freya puts a dumpling in her mouth w/ chopsticks in one hand, holding the box in her other. Deep perspective view of her on the couch, she looks comfy & happy -- most likely watching her favorite horror movies. Freya herself has a host of tattoos & piercings -- she's dressed enough for the holiday!

356 DAYS ELAPSED
1 PIC EVERY 2 DAYS
STILL MORE SKETCHES, CONTRACT WORKS
AND WIPS BESIDES.
#2025ArtReview
@crybringer 01/01/25 ~ 12/22/25 COMMISSION WORKS ~ 190 images. A massive graphic of all 190 color, monochromatic, NSFW and Patreon reward pics completed in 2025. Beating 2024 by 70 pics was no small feat -- each pic was drawn in Clip Studio Paint, between 787x1050 to 3840x2048 px, each to order. The pics run in chronological order from January (top left) to December (bottom right, 3rd from the end.) The last two are -- funnily enough -- the pics from the middle of the year (2nd from end) and the very *first* pic of 2025... so it comes full circle? Or square in this case? Anyways -- Happy New Year, everyone!

If wanting more of the Deneb Coven in 2026 is wrong, I don't want to be right. #2025ArtReview
The original "Witchmoot 2" sketch from Halloween 2024, with the basic layout, color test and ideas for extending the page. A very NSFW Deneb smooching a skull, Marigold hoisting a giant caterpillar and Ribbon getting naked was always the plan... ...And "A Deneb Witchmoot" (11/05/2025) was the result! Targe (far left corner) and Tilde (2nd from the right) were added, and most details refined -- it still doesn't meet the mark, but Deneb, Ribbon and Marigold are still a ridiculous, shameless, and fun group to draw. Here's to more in 2026! ["Until Next Time + Please Deneb?! (you wish)"] A stream sign-off sketch from July of 2025, with Deneb in all her glory -- and a dark bikini too. Drawn in monochrome violet with a bold gold-yellow background, Deneb sneers as she tugs off her top, showing more skin than her already skimpy costume. She has a growl sfx bubble with the unique "witch speak" script underneath ("Not a chance.")

Not everything's a guaranteed success.
#2025ArtReview 's biggest swings and misses here.
[Beware 2025, it's ARI'S REVENGE] A pending image series for my Patreon (https://patreon.com/crybringer) starring one of my eldest characters -- so much so, she inspired OTHER characters. Ari looms majestic and dismissive over her successors; (l. to r.) Deneb, Noir and Farhat, all turned to stone by Ari's gorgon eyes. Ari herself is dark skinned, blonde, busty and brassy as ever, calming one of her hair-snakes. But then, the Year of The Snake doesn't end until late January 2026, sooo.... [NOIR: "Cash... Call my VIP's. All of them are invited <3. I'll be in my... office<3] The dominatrix princess Noir, a black fox-girl flashes a sly smile as she holds the sliding doors to a very, VERY red room full of bondage gear and a willing partner bound head-to-toe in latex. Noir wears a pinstriped white suit, exposing her cleavage (complete with her club card tucked in between!) Or at least, that's what the rough draft shows. A too-ambitious image series for the "Fridays" group of characters didn't quite get off the ground... last spring, anyway. THIS spring though...? [HAPPY NEW YEAR 2025] A desktop ready picture of the "Moon Bunnies", Mizuki (red robe), Matsuri (blue) and Miyabi (pink) enjoying a snowy day at an onsen. Barely clothed, Mizuki and Matsuri playfully argue over mandarin oranges, enjoying the heat of a kotatsu and a space heater, while the open veranda shows Miyabi leaping naked into the hot springs in the background. Draw free-hand in full perspective, the draft process got sidelined once January 2025 turned to March all-of-a-sudden.

As we enter the New Year remember fear of making bad art is holding you back. Fear of people not liking your work is holding you back. Rejection is holding you back

You'll make bad art, you'll have people not like your work, and you'll be rejected. Moving past it is half the job of being a creative

A golden sun shines on Farhat, another #2025ArtReview favorite.
10/08/25 FARHAT & THE SUN A luxurious and curvy jackal queen, Farhat lounges before the arc of the sun and a long vista of water. Drawn in gold and blue monochrome, Farhat smiles at the viewer, clad only in her ornate crown, arm & leg bands and arm bracers. She lays on her belly, clasping her hands under her chin and showing off just enough to entice.

A new favorite of Miyabi & Mizuki -- the obsession with my silly bunny OC's reached a new high this year, y'see?
07/22/25 MIYABI vs MIZUKI The agile and nubile ninja bunny Miyabi shows her affection to the busty yamato nadeshiko Mizuki with shuriken in a heart pattern. Miyabi is in a dark-blue semi sheer bodysuit, black vest and a flowing red scarf while Mizuki is in a modified miko outfit with skirt, floral obi belt and a white kimono barely holding her generous curves. The view is dynamic as Miyabi hits a graceful backflip over the blushing bunny warrior-maiden.

#NIKKE fanarts to kick off a #2025ArtReview!
Rapi, the Commander, Anis & Neon, plus a little bit of Modernia.
I want to draw a *lot* more next year.
A page full of sketches, references and doodles of the lead character Rapi, as well as the player character Commander from the game "Goddess of Victory: NIKKE." Her impressive assault rifle is also referenced here. A quick on-paper sketch of Rapi & Commander, as well as their partner Neon, and a standalone reference of the real-life M130-H Hugo Stiglitz rifle, that is the basis of some in-game weaponry in NIKKE. Silly, sexy and funny sketches of the character Neon, from Goddess of Victory: NIKKE. She is in various states of dress, and use of her precious multi-barrel shotgun. A small sheet of sketches of the character Modernia in her "Second Affection" costume. The VERY ornate and showy cocktail dress contrasts her very sweet appearance.

My favorite Christmas image-- and look at that, it's 10 years old now! #Artof2014 #Artof2024
Ari the gorgon very sweetly puts her gift -- a soft ushanka hat -- on the succubus Tess. Tess has a nice box and a surprised face -- Ari... being nice?? Both are in lovely holiday sweaters and Ari with lots of jewelry.

Tara & Tess!
Various doodles of the lively dark elf Tara with friends (clockwise from top; Ari (top hug), Tess (center hug & lower left) and Gabby (lower right boob hat) The loquacious Tess will not be denied! "FIE! That magics and arcane practice be brought to bear, and MY long overdue presence be forgone to make way for witch, familiar or anthromorph -- with all manor of fancy and no furor -- LET THIS BE THE ANSWER FOR SUCH A SLIGHT!!! (Ah-hah yes. Yes, coolness I am one capable.) (I must hasten an addendum, that I will readily accept also displays of my most appreciably improved endowments, in lieu of magics.)"
