I hope you both are doing well. (Or as well as possible, if things are rough.)

hi thank you so much <3
Things are not good, and I’m not doing well. I’m doing what I can to pull myself out of it and get back on top of things, but things are indeed extremely rough.
I draw when I can, which is currently not often, but the work gets done albeit slowly.
Yeah. Life isn’t good right now, not especially. It’ll get better at some point, I’m sure. Thank you for checking in, and I’m sorry I took so long to reply <3
I’d like to believe that the reason that the Amazons have the most EXTRA fighting style in existence is because they’re a warrior people with no war to fight so instead of just doing basic training like normal people, Antiope is like, “And now I’m going to teach you how to BACKFLIP off of a MOVING HORSE,” because they have to fill their time somehow.
so if you follow me on twitter, you know I’ve been working to heal a very bad wrist injury over the past couple of months (partial dislocation, ouchie). That also meant little to no drawing. BUT with lots of time and braces and healing, I’m back in arting shape! And working to get back to commission level, which i think I’ve achieved!
So anyway here’s @marchingjaybird‘s d&d character, a goliath storm sorceress named Eira. She’s quite the badass.
the twitter thread the artist created after this was one of the best situations i have ever seen in my whole life:
Somebody give this ignoramus a piece of actual shark skin and tell him to rub his face with it, let him find out just how “smooth” sharks really are.
Somebody did. I use it as a pillowcase because it’s so smooth.
But buddy.
Shark skin feels exactly like sandpaper. It is made up of tiny teeth-like structures called placoid scales, also known as dermal denticles. These scales point towards the tail and help to reduce friction from surrounding water when the shark swims. … In the opposite direction, it feels very rough like sandpaper.
Chapter: Between The Rocks & The River Description: In which Lord Elrond arrives with a special guest, Legolas and Gimli receive a gift, apologies are made, and new fears are awakened. Notes: I DID THE THING.
Here’s the third chapter of A Mountain Keeps An Echo, which I abandoned for three years because I’m awful, but which I came back to because I can’t not finish it. I hope you guys enjoy this, and please spread the love around if you do. Comments and reblogs, even if you’re just saying “this is nice, thanks” mean everything to writers, and keep us writing. <3 <3
Y’AAAAAALL SHE’S WRITING IT AGAIN SHE’S WRITING THE GIMLI/LEGOLAS WEDDING FIC WITH BLIND THRANDUIL AND GENDER FLUID DWARVESSSSSSS
Literally my favorite fic of all time, so beautiful and sad and packed with incredible women and an expansion of oft-ignored Tolkien cultures. I genuinely cried when reading the new chapter UGH.
Get on this beautiful thing while you can. While I go and commission every fanartist I know to illustrate it with me because holy shit, the imagery.
