Another "I have to learn to draw with my left hand" practice scribble. This one's with Shadowheart.

A left-handed drawing (it's more of a woobly sketch) of Shadowheart from Baldur's Gate 3. She's holding the ... the thing, the 20-sided die.

A left-handed drawing of Madeline.

Please note: My left hand is not my dominant hand. ... Submissive hand? That can't be right. At any rate, I'm training it to be a switch.

Madeline Acier, a character from my comic 'Threads from the Blue Rock Tapestry', holds her left index finger up and says, "Left handed drawing? Are you some kind of masochist?"

She's wearing skirts, pulled up to show off the latex leggings underneath, and a corset over a square scoop neck (not the correct term) cap sleeve top that shows off her cleavage. She also wears latex opera gloves (to go with the leggings), and some industrial clompers with elevated soles because she's short.

I drew a smut. I think. Or maybe it's a kink.

Anyway, NSFW because of unadorned nipples (gasp!). Oh, and there's the bondage, too. And shiny. Can't forget shiny.

The subject adorns trichromacy-enhancing mask, gloves, belt, and boots before getting strapped to the medbed and connected through the inguinal orifices to an automotive-manufacturing-robot-sized vibrator hanging from the ceiling. The subject is then rhythmically stimulated (for science reasons) into a glitchy state of sensual split-chromatic euphoria. A companion nurse android is present to monitor the procedure. The subject seems to be pleased.

Nurse robot girl in a corset and hobble dress (and other shiny accoutrements).

Robot girl in a red/blue/white color scheme. She's got geisha-ish blue hair, a lighter blue corset over a white hobble dress, and a matching lighter blue neck corset with a red first aid cross on it. Around her ankles, wrists, upper arms, and neck are cherry red cuffs with rings. She's holding her hands up in a kind of spellcasting position.

Folks saying his administration's lackeys are Truman Show-ing him. I'm sure they'll eventually start Weekend at Bernie's-ing him just to continue their agenda.

Traditionally in user interface design, checkboxes are for selecting multiple items, while radio buttons are for selecting one item among many.

Something something tagging art with labels something.

Tendonitis means no drawing until 2026. Ugh.

Gonna be doing a lot of writing scripts. And working on my website. And being extremely sad because I can't draw anymore.

No. I'm gonna need to make occasional scribbles with my left hand. (Just don't damage it too!)

This means Threads page updates are done for the year. Sorry!

I think I did more damage to my hand this summer than I realized.

For the curious: It's the tendon of my right pinky finger.

astrid elle jo🍂(jewel of the nihil) @ellejohara.com · 18h

Guess who has tendonitis?

It's me. You don't have to guess.

Bad Bunny dice que tengo 4 meses a recordar español.
"No, no. 'Aprende' español."
Uhh, estudie la lengua fi 1990s por 5 años. Pero olvide todo.

(أريد أن أتذك لغة العربية أيضا)

That's from my brain. So I probably butchered it. I had to look up one word because I forgot 'remember' in Arabic.

I don't know about you, but I'm getting real fucking tired of social media (and social media CEOs).

I've somehow made it to 51.

A birthday scribble I drew three years ago of myself in a purple party hat and halfheartedly puffing through one of those unrolly-outy-whistle-thingys. I've got a fork in my hand and am about to dig into a grey cake with red frosting and a single candle burning atop it. I do not look in the slightest bit amused.

Text reads: Happy Fucking Birthday

A post of my best art to remind myself that, yes, sometimes I *do* know how to draw. When my ADHD allows me.

Impa (2021) - The tall and slender Sheikah warrior from The Legend of Zelda - Skyward Sword stands before the Gate of Time and begins crafting a ball of energy in her hand to destroy the gate once she passes through.

Witchsona (2022) - A painting of witchy me in my techno-occult indoor witch cave trying out a new spell that makes a pink Doctor Strange style mandala in front of my hand. All around me in my little lair are various accoutrements of witchiness and technology such as a laptop and a desktop computer, a breadboard and FPGA board connected to a floating crystal, tomes of arcane knowledge (such as spellbooks and a guidebook for C++), and so many other things.

Fries and a Shake in Nicodranas (2022) - A Critical Role Mighty Nein AU in which college jock/nerd Beau is out on a date with her metal goth angel from hell girlfriend, Yasha. They hold hands and play footsie as they enjoy their fries and strawberry shake. In the window behind them is a lovely view of Nicodranas on the Menagerie Coast. The Lighthouse of the Wildmother towers above, and the colorful city buildings pepper the hillside. Portraits of Scanlan Shorthalt and Marian Lavorre adorn the wall of the diner.

Witchsona (2025) - My annual witch selfie for Year of the Snake. Witchy me sits on a hovering broom in front of a campfire and looks down at a little snake (snek) guest who has joined me to keep warm. It's a lovely full moon night at the lakeside in the forest.

My vote is for Suspiria, but I'm definitely biased.

astrid elle jo🍂(jewel of the nihil) @ellejohara.com · 18d

If bsky is just going to autotag artistic nudity as porn, that completely ruins the efficacy of the "show me drawings of latex corseted mermaids and not photos of cumstained sweaty flesh" filtering. We need *more* granularity for NSFW tags, not less.

Yes the mermaids signed a release form. OMGWTF.

"The queer pairings will continue until morale improves."

I'm making Legend of Korra fan comics, and Korra isn't even in them. I just like spending time in that world.

Make what makes you happy! Especially now because of [flaps hands vigorously at everything].

Maybe something like "It has been a century since the reign of Caesar Augustus and the rise of imperial Rome". But that also requires at least some passing knowledge of when Augustus rose to power.
