Thank you @neutronstarchild for the banner <3
I still have a few of the sketches to post, but I thought I would thank you guys for donating!
And if anyone else is interested in donating to the cause and also recieving a sketch, here is some info:
Current situation in Poland is scaring me.
There isn’t much I can do, as one person, but I would still like to at least try. I can’t join in the protests themselves, but I’d love to help in a different way.
Neutron gave me this idea of opening sketch commissions to everyone who would like to help.
If you’d like to commission me and help at the same time: please donate to “Strajk Kobiet” an amount of 50zl (around 13usd) and provide me with a proof of transaction (screenshot is ok!).
After that, my hamster hands are yours!
One sketch commission of either a portrait, above waist or above thigh drawing, of up to two characters. NSFW and some blood is acceptable ;)
Polish gofundme site for donations: https://zrzutka.pl/en/akcje-i-dzialania-strajku-kobiet-mrsynp
If you’d like to read about the whole nightmare, here is a nicely written post: https://kalcia.tumblr.com/post/641566458837680128/what-exactly-is-going-in-poland-right-now

there are many young merfolk out there, so i felt the desire to create a badass elder for mermay :) she’s as much derived from as she is dedicated to the vuvalini of MMFR– i also sincerely hope she brings joy to my mutuals older than me who always delight and inspire me, and to all older women in fandom, really, who i continuously thought of while working on her
i hope it’s obvious but just in case: she’s beluga / inuit. and yes, a name and backstory eventually developed! haha
oh y’all this is my first non-fanart piece to break 1k notes and i’m SO excited it’s enthusiasm for this design in particular! thank you; i’m so relieved and encouraged by the warm responses 🙏🏻💙
i ADORE this merfolk lady. Because she has a beluga tail, she is of my people. I come from the frigid waters of the Saguenay river, where the Belugas live. I am of her tribe. She is my Elder. My great grandmother many times removed.
this is making some rounds again so i need to reiterate: thank you so much to every first nations commenter. your feedback of feeling respectfully represented and excited is my measure of genuine success for this piece.

This was a gift commission from @guardians-of-las-vyxen for my birthday. The character is Zercey from Illthdar: Guardians of Las, and the artist is Qure on Instagram
Link to the artist page is below. Please share the love for this great work.
As a reminder, the fundraiser for Gendered Intelligence is still on and ends at midnight on the last day of August 2020.
Gendered Intelligence works to improve the conditions of trans people in the UK through direct youth work, education, training and effecting meaningful change.
In response to JK Rowling's transphobic comments, all profits from the sale of Guardians of Las will be donated to Gendered Intelligence. Because there's no excuse for what she said and she's absolutely wrong - trans women are women!
The fundraiser sale is finished, and I want to take a moment to thank the folks who purchased copies of Illthdar: Guardians of Las from June until the end of August, 2020. Though I didn't promote it, because I wasn't sure how much I could contribute in addition, I have opted to match 100% the proceeds. With your help, a total of £32.00 is being donated to Gendered Intelligence from book sales.
At the moment, I am waiting to hear back from Gendered Intelligence to confirm if any donations were made directly to them for the Illthdar campaign via their website. Once this is confirmed, if there were any, I will give another update.
For a first time author, selling a new series during a pandemic, while some may argue this isn't a lot - but small steps by one person can mark the beginning of great actions. I fully intend to have more fundraising events in the future. The worst kind of world to be stuck on should always be Illthdar, and I hope that everyone will join me in doing what we can to make Earth a better place for all.

It’s Vyxen!! Ain’t she a cutie!?
Vyxen is a character from one of my favorite book series, Illthdar: Guardians of Las! It’s a high fantasy story with an awesome cast of characters! Want a good book to read? You can’t go wrong with it!
Fantastic artwork done by Qure over at https://www.instagram.com/qure.art/

My art that has blue, pink, and purple colors
defective-replicant-deactivated
These are really pretty but the fireplace line totally threw me off
Is a fireplace a slang term for pussy because if so then I've been perishing
Okay, confessions are needed here, OP - I can think of more than one cryptid you might be, and have mighty need to narrow down the list.
How long have you been stuck on this side of the veils?

Concept Art: Culvers
By @illthdar
Hal Culvers of Don is a half-blood arachne. He took over the position of High Elder from his sister, Silvia, when she went missing some years ago. He is around forty years of age and looks it, but this detail hasn’t stopped him from becoming the Order sex symbol. There’s a saying among the Acolytes that you aren’t one of them until you’ve had a crush on Culvers. The second tallest man among the High Elders, Culvers never goes by his first name. He has greying hair and silver eyes and is often seen with at least one spider about his person. Strong and solid, he dresses in a variety of plaid shirts and plain trousers, only changing his style when his shirts are in the laundry – when he’ll dig out his plaid trousers instead – or he has to wear official Order robes.
Anonymous asked:
Do you ever plan on opening submissions in case people want to make and send you fan art?
Asdfghjkl thank you for ask! Honestly, I didn't even think of using it like that - I figured artists would like their work attributed to them, and I didn't know if the submission option would allow for that.
For the sake of those who do want to use it, I switched it on for you.

hey,guys! It’s that tie of the month again, where I open up art commissions! hit me up on PM if you’re interested - I work through paypal, and have a great turn around time!

Kiss With Color - $20
Kiss With Flowers - $12
Full Color + Simple Background - $20
Bust Shot + Color - $9
hey, guys!
so, my mom was told today that her hours artork are being cut in half because business is so slow with the Coronavirus going on.
I’ve got commissions going all month to try and bring in some extra money to make up for it!
i’m also going to try and get We Come Undone published in the next day or so (i’m in final edits/cover making mode now) and wanted to remind everyone that, along with selling Putrescent Poems on Amazon, I sell PDF copies through Ko-Fi! it’s twenty horror poems and ten incredible illustrations for $6!
not interested in art or horror poetry? consider a custom short story - $6 for 500 words - or checking out my patreon (patreon.com/abalonetea)!
update - they just fired a bunch of people to cut on budget due to the lack of work because of the corona virus, including my mother, so.
yeah.
she’s the only one in our family with any sort of steady income, so this is really! a bit of a disaster!
consider reblogging this as a boost, maybe?

Guardians of Las
Art by @tiravi
Zercey: A bit pessimistic, she has already resigned herself to never going back to Earth. Jaded and with a subtle sarcasm, she’s happiest when she’s cooking or learning about Illthdarian plants and wildlife. A self-depreciating perfectionist who knows that she shouldn’t expect as much out of herself, but does so anyway. Has a survivalist mentality about most things. A bit of a crowd-pleaser, tends to cave in easily to demands and requests of others. Hides her insecurities by trying to use Earth logic to give the impression of having more knowledge than she does about Illthdar. A bit bookish. A bit of an eccentric. She doesn’t like being sidelined and treated differently than others. Hating her first name with a passion, she prefers to go by her middle name. Her relationship with Lerki is most easily defined by the phrase “It’s complicated.”
Lerki: Distracted and in his own world. He does as he pleases. Sensitive to others and their moods but rarely takes offence. Naturally confident in what he knows and rarely second-guesses himself. Likes being a part of nature and feels unwell if he is kept away from it (and other Venin) for too long. Has a habit of going away for long periods of time because of this. Often thinks Zercey should do things the way Venin do them because of her part-Venin heritage and winds up regretting his life choices because of it.
LOVE THEM!

Concept Art: Trenfal
By @illthdar
Trenfal is a lios elf hailing from Midraert. He has green eyes and long, golden blond hair that is sometimes streaked with grey. Sometimes he has wrinkles and other times not. He is the oldest of the High Elders, but occasionally looks like the youngest. He works alongside Hok’Jai as chronicler for the Order of Amber. He is most often seen in butterscotch coloured robes. He is a small man, at five foot five and this is often an amusing talking point for Acolytes, in that his partner, Hok’Jai is six foot three.
