Hey guys, sorry for the lack of commission updates. I went home to see the folks over the weekend and stupidly forgot to bring along not only my tablet but my entire laptop. SO that's why no thumbnails had been updated involving Halloween contest entries(they are updated now so if you don't see yours post me the link please) and also why I haven't posted any more of the commissions I owe, which I'm totally going to crank out this week, taking into effect work and the fact my fridge is barren and grocery shopping needs to happen tomorrow, haha.
Anyway, getting my new tablet has totally amped me up drawing wise. I'll crank out some more commissions and see if I can get another page of the comic out to you. I'm totally ready to continue East Land Chronicles, get it finished, and start Uru's Reigh Part 2, which I have begun scripting. I'd say there's probably 20+ pages to go in Eastland before that point though.
Umm, so I retract one of my dislikes towards one of the new updates which is the mentions. I've decided I love the mentions thing because I was able to find all of the current contest entries using the fact that people mention me in the description of their art. So that's pretty cool
See contest details below please. If you don't see your entry posted under "current entries" please post me a link, sometimes I miss them. I'm only human .
___
So, in the spirit of giving people candy while trick-or-treating, I'm offering lower prizes to the winners, in the sense that they wont be AS extravagant as previous contests, meaning a low points prize, and commission prizes, But, in the spirit of Trick-or-Treating part of your gift is awarding someone you know with a commission from me. It's a contest for giving and not so much taking. And since Halloween to me is about horror and giving people candy I think it's fitting.
The Premise:
Draw any characters from The Future Of Our Past, to date (meaning no TLK characters that haven't appeared yet) in some way that represents Halloween. This is a vague topic! Which means it could be characters dressing up, trick-or-treating, doing something creepy, seen in a classic movie horror scene, anything that would represent Halloween!
Rules:
- one entry per person
- No bases, no line art created by other artists, no backgrounds created by other artists, no theft, basically it has to be your drawing.
- Traditional and Digital entries welcome
- Must represent Halloween somehow
- Can only be TLK characters, OC, Canon, Or Semi Canon that have appeared so far(so no Timon, Nala, Pumbaa or anything like that)
- No photography
(rules are subject to change)
Prizes:
1st Place:
- 100
- A full commission to the winner
- A photoshop commission as a trick-or-treat gift to someone the winner wants to gift too(Happy Halloween!!)
2nd:
- 50
- full commissions to 2nd place
- A photoshop commission as a trick-or-treat gift to someone the winner wants to gift too(Happy Halloween!!)
3rd:
- 30
- Photoshop commission
- A photoshop commission as a trick-or-treat gift to someone the winner wants to gift too(Happy Halloween!!)
DEADLINE:

A Word about Discrimination: No! (LGBTQ+ Focused)
So I don’t like when I have to bring up a sensitive subject such as bigotry or intolerance but it’s time to just go over this again. I rarely have to worry too much about this in the comment section or from my followers as most creative types are pretty open minded, but it seems that whenever I post anything that has the slightest thing to do with gender identity or sexuality there is always at least one person who needs to post comments that are either subtly or blatantly ignorant or prejudiced against the LGBTQ+ community, or often more specifically gender identities. This happened when I revealed Dotty and Digger were together and raising Spotty as their own. This also tends to happen whenever I post anything about my own status within the LGBTQ+ community (pan, not sure about gender but I go by she/her or they/them and there wasn’t as much education growing up about the different gender identities so I don’t really know where I fall in regards to my gender- and that’s okay too!).
Life Update (Sorry for Delays)
The month of April has been a.... Painful one. My partner had to have his tonsils removed, which as an adult seems to take a while to recover- which is not fun. I also got some stupid flu the day after his surgery which is finally just breaking. And I did something stupid to my back on Tuesday (I think it's muscle spasms, it happens sometimes this is just a really bad flair-up). It's seriously like a death by a thousand cuts, haha. Mentally I'm doing better, the anti-sad pills seem to be helping- my manic highs aren't so manic, and my deep sads aren't 'stay in bed all day questioning the pointlessness of existence' bad anymore so... That's good! But physically? Man, my back is killing me and it would be nice if my nose could unclog... Anyway, It's been hard to fulfill my commission obligations and get pages out these past couple weeks, but rest assured the patreon will get pages, DA will go back to the 5-7 day structured upload, I will start chipping at my commissions again in short
Let's Talk AI - The Robots Will Destroy us All
So… This AI thing… I wasn’t sure if I was going to talk on this issue or not, and what it means for me, the future of art as a career, DA, and my opinion on it and stuff. Buuut it seems everyone is talking about it, and some people are leaving DA as a result, so I just wanted to let you know where I’m at. First off, AI itself is a mixed bag of…. Meh. As we know, AI generators can not actually create unique and creative images out of no-where. Like humans, it creates what it has known and observed. Unlike humans, it’s not observing things from real life and instead observes data and images online. Unfortunately, that means using the images and data of art from real-life artists that were posted online. For the sake of reference, learning, exploring ideas, and so on, I actually think AI can be a really good resource, but in no way is clicking a button with key words your own original content. It’s a hodgepodge of images stolen from real artists online, and that’s where the issue with AI
I'm Aware of the TikTok
Hey guys! So! Yesterday evening into today people have been linking me a tiktok video of a person showing off my drawing of Alastor from Hazbin Hotel. I printed it off for the person in the video, but granted didn't know they'd make a tiktok about it. I spoke with them today and they are allowed to keep the video up (I gave them permission), so please don't think they stole it from me- it was actually a gift to one of my students and I really don't want any hate being sent her way. Also, I normally try to keep my real life self separate to my internet activity here on DA and normally I do not give my students access to my socials until they graduate for their own safety and my anonymity- I just didn't predict this would happen or that it would kick off on TikTok. The video does not reveal any personal information about me or the student, but if you see it please be kind and be aware that they have my permission to post it. Also, hi to all the new watchers I've gotten as a result XD
