Nerd enough to know the terms, but not necessarily the names.

I am, in fact, a lawyer, but nothing here is to be construed as legal advice.

Bottom is an ass, not a fairy. Okay, technically not an ass, either… but also, yeah.

#PostItSketch2026
A sketch of Bottom, the rude mechanical turned fairy queen’s paramour from A Midsummer Night’s Dream. A sketch of a man with the head of a donkey, reclining and with a goblet in his right hand.

The fairy Mustardseed. Not sure if this is a Winter or Summer aspect.
A pencil sketch of the newt-like fairy Mustardseed, curled around itself. Inspired by the fairy Mustardseed in Shakespeare’s play A Midsummers’ Night Dream.

A sketch of a scrawny creature with heavy brows, a bifurcated ruff, and muzzle full of teeth. Inspired by the fairy Peaseblossom in Shakespeare’s play A Midsummer Night’s Dream, portrayed in a monstrous aspect.

Huh, where did that come from? Well, frankly, it popped out of my brain as I was waiting for some files to move.

#PostItSketch2025
A cartoon of a young woman, wearing t-shirt, jeans/pants, shoes, and glasses, her hair pulled back in a braid. Her left hand may or may not be in her front pants pocket, depending on how you interpret the strokes and your opinion of girl pockets.

Needs work on the clothing, but I rather like this one.

#PostItSketch2025
A woman with a a pony tail, holding on to something off-screen with her left hand and foot. Wearing pants and a tank top, and her right arm is completely robotic. Her expression is a mixture of loss, anger, and sadness.

Still probably fluke-ish? It’s Inktober, though, so there are a metric ton of prompt lists. This is an interpretation of day 9 of #bonktober69, which is generally NSFW so be forewarned.

It has been an AGE. Back on the wagon, or just a fluke?

Good grief, it’s been a long time since I posted a #PostItSketch2025.

So tell me something about this guy.

Good lord, the past week has left me all…

#PostItSketch2025
A sketch of a person of indeterminate gender laying their head on the table. It’s the very image of exhaustion, and for some reason the person is not wearing a shirt. Okay, look, I’m freaking tired. I need a nap.

Something more power-armor-y today. Probably because I’ve just inhaled the first four Murderbot books, but the design also owes a lot to the mid-90s Orphanmaker look.

A person in powered armor, holding a rifle or something, looking and pointing to their left.

But the thing about AI is that it allows you to make mistakes, and both faster and greater than you can do on your own. If you don’t look for those, you end up putting armor on the wrong part of the plane.

This might turn into something later, but for now, it goes in the slush pile.

#PostItSketch2025
A thumbnail sketch of two people fighting. The one on the left has a spear and is deflecting the other combatant’s sword with their free hand while trying to stab overhand; the one on the right has strongly committed to the attack with their sword, and is panicking as they are unlikely to avoid the incoming spear.

A Fool for April Fool’s.

#PostItSketch2025

(Please don’t throw a brick at me @thatwitchmia.bsky.social :) )
An interpretation of The Fool, first card of the Major Arcana. A young man wearing a coxcomb and carrying a hobo bindle, is poised to step off a cliff, his attention on a butterfly instead of where he is going. The sun is behind him, and the dog travelling with him is pulling on his pant leg, trying to avoid disaster.

Bored in class. Need to either adjust the feet or cross the legs, I think
