A twice-dead elven thief, a princess of clones, & a lot of explosions both in and out of the bedroom. Mechs, magic, and everything spice.

Preorder & save today! (release date ~early March) boom-goes-the-bride.backerkit.com/hosted_preor... #boombride
A square ad for my book. The cover is on the left, with a woman on a jetbike flying upsidedown reaching out to a very stoic looking woman below. Neon letters spell out BOOM GOES THE BRIDE. On the right big blue text spells out A GENRE BENDING DUOLOGY WITH FULL BORE ROMANCE. PULP SEX ACTION ANGST. A CYBER FANTASY DYSTOPIA IN SPACE.

as an artist, I basically live by this ancient tumblr post, and I'm not kidding.

As an artist drawing a wide range of characters and scenarios is very import- oh shit- oh fuck sorry I dropped- oh my god- oh wait- omg don't look waIT--!!

(It's just the same sapphic women over and over and over and over-)

#alttext #wlwart #ocart #sonaArt
A woman with scales, horns, and a long tail with a big fin at the end of it. Her horns and scales are alternating in off-white and black, with blue fins. She's got long wavy ginger hair and a red dress with a teal sash. She's holding a bunch of scrolls and papers, some of which are falling from her arms onto the ground. The images falling from her arms are drawings of the same 4 characters, over and over. Several of the images are of women kissing or implied... other actions. The woman looks back over her shoulder at the fallen drawings, her cheeks red and with a nervous sweat drop. She says "-AH!" as she realizes the obscene amounts of lesbian art falling all over the place.

the princess, gilt in glittering gold ♡
An illustration- a pinup- of Aeilis, a sun-elven princess, sat upon the ground. She wears green lingerie, decorated with ribbons and gold, and looks to the viewer with a somewhat curious expression.

Every day is better when there's new Magica Riot art 🥹

Please look at the wonderful ray of sunshine that is Hana, aka the magical girl Riot Green, as depicted by the one and only @windygria.art!

I love her, she made my whole day brighter!
Artwork by Emma Martello of Hana Hasegawa, the magical girl known as Riot Green from "Magica Riot." She is a young woman in a green jacket, black and green skirt, green tights, black fingerless gloves, and black boots, with green hair and eyes, holding a green bass with magical crystals in the body. She is leaping into the air and smiling broadly, with her ponytail blowing around behind her, and green magical swirls and sparkles behind her.

I have committed a cardinal sin against genre by including straight up aliens in #magewife, but that's how i roll.

River's homeland, after being invaded and colonized by conquistadors, was subsequently invaded and infested by a zerg-like alien civilization/hivemind (no one knows yet) #critterary

"A joy shared is a joy doubled--and that's what I'm all about!" - Demi, the Aspect of Joy.

#aspectarcana #ocsky #originalcharacter
My OC, Demi, the Aspect of Joy with multiple clones behind her, emerging from a blow and yellow explosion. Her black and blue hair is long and wavy, with bells attached to the ends of her side bangs and the end of her massive ponytail. Her bandaged arms are spread out wide as she presents herself and the clones who are coming forth, all with varying emotions of determination, joy, laughter and all ready for a beatdown.

Focus on your voice, not your details. It's less critical to inform the reader of the plot and world as much as it is the mood we're going to experience. Many pitches read less like an exciting teaser and more like instructions for how to microwave a potato.

Most of all, have fun #bluepithype

In the time since it was screenshotted to Bluesky, the first post of the Threads thread has gained 16,500 likes and 4,300 comments and combing through the discourse in the comments, not a single one of them tracked down the bar or confirmed the event was real, even for their own harassment purposes

its a bit of a relief to see other artists feel the same about how US artist alley has become more ""hustle culture"" with a focus on making marketable goods with ok enough art, and less ""check out this mental illness"" with 200 doujinshi pages of the best sucking and fucking you can ever imagine

Did I mention Women of Xal I and II have polyamory? As well as the ace/gay/straight options? And you can play the first game for free just to see how it works in practice? ' v' And that um, if the Kickstarter for the second one fails, we have to limit features?

Your identity is not a brand. Your brand is a subset of your actions and personality and must always come second to authenticity. If you change who you are to more closely align to your "brand" you will lose yourself.

It is better to lose followers than your soul

Friend was venting a bit about struggling with "moot perception" and I think in 2026 some of you need to regain control and agency of your spaces. Having the "what will my followers think" mindset is self-harming. It's your account, with your rules, and every follower is a guest. Don't forget that.

Panel from a longform manhua. A girl lying on her bead goes "breath play!!!" and gasps a lot. A narrative rectangle says: inexperienced and easily subverted, but with a mind oh so perverted! From (pinyin incoming) Guānyú Bèi Bānshang Lǜchá Wēixié Nà Jiàn Shì.

Alternatively i want you to imagine a "toxic yuri" scale where the line is at 0 the entire time then shoots through the ceiling, up through the sky, pierces the moon, and knocks every star from the sky before exiting this universe entirely
Happy then sad black guy meme: Happy panel: "oh wow when flowers bloomed in days of yore is super cute and sweet and nice and beautiful this is such a kind and gentle story." Sad panel: panels from the comic. a girl holds a box cutter and tells a terrified girl to take off her clothes.
