One of the earliest drawings I’ve done for Astral Stalker, featuring a scene from chapter 11. This was actually the drawing that made me want to illustrate the whole book because I realized how much I enjoy drawing these characters. #artsky #digitalart #indiebook

hey w how trad pub is likely going to be pulling back on books by marginalized authors, now more than ever, please get over whatever roadblock exists in your mind that keeps you from branching out to indie books. if the trad space starts to look dire soon (and it will), this is gonna be the solution

A recollection. #booksky #authorsky #indieauthor

A large orb floated above them, glowing a faint blue as water cascaded down from it into the small crystal clear pond below. Beside it were bizarre plants she had never seen before with large dark leaves and spindly looking flowers. The area itself had a more purple-hue. Raina dragged herself over to the water's edge to peer down into its depths. Her own face looked back as dragony as it was, as her eyes carefully slid over to look at her throat. There was nothing there, of course, as the hair had slipped off, but...if she truly looked, she could see the pattern of them appear, like a dark shadow across her neck and arms. Scars that only she could see. The rest of Raina's strength escaped and she collapsed onto the sandy bank with a hefty plop.

A monster. #booksky #authorsky #indieauthor

"It was a monster," Fable whispered, its ears pinned back. Raina opened her mouth to ask Fable what exactly it had seen, but the unnatural rush of wind drowned out anything she was about to say. A metallic screech echoed around and broke the silence of space as Raina spun around, wide-eyed, to see what had forced its way into their path. With a broken flight pattern, like a moth, a black speck approached them from a far distance. As it neared, Raina noted that it was vaguely bat-shaped in appearance. As it got even closer she realized with a sickening dread that she was wrong. Raina took a step back as the creature flew straight at them, turning at the last second before it struck the asteroid they were on. The harsh winds it caused, made the floating mass of land rock slightly, and both Raina and Fable had to dig their paws into the stone to keep footed. They couldn't risk it knocking them off again. Raina dared describe the creature as one familiar to her; a wyvern.

I could use some help spreading the word.

My new little book is about two sisters who hunt down killers and collect body parts while complicating their lives with volatile magics, bizarre visions, and a mysterious mouth in the wall.

Think Junji Ito meets Little Women.

Here's a photo featuring a stack of the book Familiar by Jeremy C. Shipp. There's another copy leaning against the stack, with the cover facing the camera. The cover shows an open mouth with lips made of muscle and teeth made of fingers and a tongue made of intestines. In the back of the mouth, there's an eye. My fabric art homunculus is sitting on the stack of books. She's green with big sparkling red eyes and a tiny frown. There's also a black and red mushroom near the stack with a large eye. Near the stack, there's also a pinecone covered with googly eyes.

Gods this is so real.
Realism is a technical still, sure! It shows your understanding of a medium, of light, or the ability to copy a photo. But it's not everything. It's not the ONLY thing.
You can make amazing non-realistic art.
You can make amazing stylized art.
Cute, funky, weird, great art.

“THE NON-ARTIST FIXATION ON HYPERREALISM AS THE PINNACLE OF ART IS CLEARLY PART OF THE REASON SO MANY ADULTS THINK THEY CANNOT DRAW OR CONSIDER THEMSELVES TO BE FAILURES, KAWAII, FOLK ART, DOODLES, OR OTHER EASIER ENTRY POINTS ARE CONSIDERED CHILDISH, WHICH IS WHY JAPANESE DRAWING BOOKS ARE BETTER…”

"What is that?" came Fable's yip in the present, breaking Raina away from her memories. The dragon shook her head to rid her mind of the images. However, the flashing lights persisted and Raina could only stare as the canyon before them shifted. Along with the lights came the glowing outlines of buildings that looked far more Earthly; a human town. "Stay close," Raina whispered as she led the fawn along. They entered the new area, lights nearly blinding until they came upon the outlines of the police vehicles. It was a familiar scene, all the cars lined up in front of a neighborhood house. Raina's mouth went dry in her disbelief, "It's my hometown." "Is it safe here?" Fable asked as Raina fought the urge to step closer to the house. The only way she was able to resist was the squeezing headache brought on by the blaring lights. Queasy, Raina was able to turn away. "No, we should go."

"Are.. you okay?" she asked, though she wasn't quite sure what she was expecting. The fawn leaped onto all fours and snarled, hackles raised. The sight made Raina stumble back a step, but the fawn only kept its distance, weary eyes on her. It was alone now and much smaller than she. It couldn't hurt her because it wasn't a human, it was a creature, it was a child. Raina went on to say what she would have wanted to hear, "I'm not going to hurt you." The fawn's fur lowered, as it naively turned away from her to motion towards the cliffs where the forest once was. Only open air was up there now. "Herd said never to leave the redwood grove," the fawn sighed. "Astral always changes, always shifts. Will never see family-herd again." The words, just like the astral, shifted around Raina's mind. As she had left her own astral bubble of safety, would she also never find her way back? Dread seeped down to her core and all Raina could manage was a small, "I'm sorry about that."

The only thing left for myself to do on Belial book 2 is my least favorite thing which is writing the blurb that goes on the back of the book. 🥲

A bush rustled several feet away in a different direction. Raina spun around to face it, her eyes nearly bulging and then... a furry brown head popped up from between the leaves. It was adorned with a set of bright red antlers, large black eyes glued to Raina's form. A deer? Raina lowered her tail, fur flattening. The deer tilted its head to the side and Raina wanted to let out a nervous laugh. "Sorry," she said. "I'm a bit jumpy." The deer's nose twitched before it moved from the bush, eyes never leaving her. It stepped onto the beaten path with not a hoof, but a paw much similar to Raina's. Except this one was heavily clawed... Raina took a step back as something unsettled flicked on in the back of her mind. A growl came from behind her.

I'm watching an adult creator get systematically cut off from every income stream by payment processors and now debankment could be on the table. She makes legal content. They are trying to shut her up and hope that we'll shut up too.

We must get louder. Call Visa and MC. Tell them this will stop.

Ana's situation has gotten more severe. This is blatantly targetted debanking and [extremely unfortunate] proof that these call campaigns are getting under paypros skin

Keep calling Visa and MC and demanding they stop discriminating against adult content!

Somethings up with Nick. #booksky #authorsky

books2read.com/u/b67aWp
There was a long pause and then Nick whispered under his breath, "! knew your mother." The wind rippled against the two. Raina wanted to think he was joking as he sometimes did, but with such a topic... She knew he wasn't. Nick's expression grew deathly serious as he looked at her, waiting for a response that Raina struggled to muster. "Why did you never say anything?" she asked past the roaring in her ears, made worse by the hefty astral storm that began to close in around them. In the distance thunder rumbled and Raina tensed at the thought of rain. "How did you know her? You died ages ago..." Nick's scarlet eyes took on a deep sorrow that Raina had never seen before. The man looked to debate something with himself before coming to some unseen conclusion. Pulling himself up, he stood before the one that had been his close companion for twenty years. "I have not been completely truthful, my dearest Raina, and that was a mistake," Nick said
