Realized I slid onto Bluesky without any proper intro posts 😅 Hello, I’m Nika, and I like to work across illustration, comics, and writing. Drawing fantasy dames and making my OCs pine for each other is my whole jam ✌🏼

Independent small business keep being put into situations and @dreamersbmore.bsky.social is in need of support. It's no secret how near and dear to me this space is and I want to see them continue their great work for community and comics alike!

So uh I may have made a T-shirt design based off of the Gwi-Ma band tee from KPDH

This thread is so cool!! Can't wait to see how the latest design comes out ✨
I knew I wanted to make something that slotted over the backs of the shelves, and it had to be universal enough considering there were slight differences between the shelf types she uses.

I started mocking up a design in Blender with the intention to print it out in resin.

DO NOT participate in #blueskyblackout2025

I'm nsfw artist and other nsfw artists are asking you to SHOUT! Bsky wants to censor us so the worst thing we can do is censor ourselves!

Publicly shame them, use the feedback button, and post about it using the tag #bskycensorship

Silence is compliance!

Lord alive, they want fictional characters in fictional sexual situations to model consent for literal adults like a patronizing early 2020’s sitcom where the point of the writing is to convey that the writer’s been to therapy at some point
