Hey, I'm Constance. 😊🌱

I work in Tech and draw as a hobby. 👩‍💻🎨 #art
You can read this lengthy Intro Thread for more detail🧵🙃

I'm here primarily to follow & support Artists! 👏
I love Illustration, Comics, and Animation 💛✨

Also here to follow Tech Critics and Climate Activists ✊

The illustration shows a green androgynous person sat in the lotus pose in front of a planet, with golden vines and flowers growing out of various chakra points on their body. Above, is written the following Rachel Carson quote: "Those who contemplate the beauty of earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts".

Illustration of Constance Hermit, who has huge glasses and blue hair, & their baby (in a carry, which is black, with a golden plant pattern). Hermit is using a digital art pen to sculpt plants out of a circuit board while levitating a cup of tea, USB cable, and pen. Green wheat sways in the background.

Melody works from home as an artist, but when pursuing her goals drives a wedge between her and her partner, she's torn between being a "good partner" and a "good artist."

VIOLAPSE is about choosing yourself over a broken fantasy and breaking out of roles that other people give you.

Today's a good day to practice self care.
Drink some tea.
Read a book.
Disappear into a fog on the trackless moors and follow ghosts as they wander between forgotten tombs.
Share tea & stories with your new ghost friends.

Moss, my #oc, drawing UML diagrams and thinking about the app they're developing (which combines plant identification and virtual garden building) while enjoying autumn vibes 🍂

Once again referencing @jookpubstock.bsky.social's book pack! ko-fi.com/s/6a370b3dd1 📚💛

#art #ocsky

Moss, the person in this illustration, sits at their desk in casual pose, gazing in an unfocused way at the candle sitting on the desktop. They're writing in a book that lies open on the table before them, using a halloween-themed pen with a large pumpkin on top. There's a collection of acorns next to the book, in various stages of ripeness, and a steaming cup of tea in an earthy glazed mug. Moss is a deer-person with long green hair and dark horns. In the background we see more of Moss' home, which seems to have actual trees embedded in the walls and acting as shelves to a collection of books and trinkets (such as pinecones, jars, and a little wooden korok). Beyond this, the living room is also visible, which is mostly in darkness, but lit by a little glowing mushroom lamp.

Wisptober Day 3 - Fence

"The traveller Startled! Between one moment and the next, a horned figure appeared crouching on the old fence post..."

I am sure all they will do is ask the traveller a riddle.;)

as a neurodivergent & also weird kid school was hell for me, though these days I struggle to remember the names of all the teachers who bullied me. But the three that treated me like a person have never left me. Now more than ever, I hope you all try your best to stay unsquishable!

Yes! Visible mending! 🙌
I got into this recently to extend the life of my child's clothes 💛
Rainbow thread and cannibalised ripped/outgrown clothing make for some colourful repairs 🪡😊✨

A happy yellow embroidered dinosaur, with rainbow spikes on its long neck, on green fabric, works as a patc. It's being sewn onto a pair of jeans with a ripped knee (rip once repaired already haha, but not visible in the photo). Rainbow thread is being used, and many small (and not terribly neat) stitches run along the outside.
