i really don't take the time to appreciate your art enough. your art is fucking stunning. it stands out to me so much on my dashboard, it Always catches my eye everytime im scrolling rather quickly through my dashboard. i always have to stop and look. your designs are absolutely fabulous and the choices you make in your art are amazing. your choice in colors is always on point and your style is just ?? one of my favorites on tumblr very honestly. you're great.

THIS IS SUCH A SWEET MESSAGE OH MY GOD. i'm going to print this out and hang it on my wall or something. it's incredibly rewarding to hear that my work can grab people that way... makes me feel seen...!!!!!

with him i have an ending

okay i want to explain some of my thought process for this one. i started it for the vsz week prompt "gods/worship" (and obviously did not finish it in time), where i wanted to do something with depictions of sainthood in medieval art and the imagery in illuminated manuscripts.

i took the basic idea of the pose from (many versions of) st michael and the dragon, switched around so that despite keeping the original power balance intact, zam is the one being impaled; in defeating vitalasy, he's forcing his hand to hurt himself. if it was up to zam, vitalasy would have retaliated and proven him right post-betrayal, but that isn't how it goes.

zam is holding the inverted eclipse shield subz gave him after the betrayal. i drew him in my wormhole design in reference to the final conversation they have, where zam is using the idea that he's broken beyond repair as a shield to avoid having to engage with vitalasy. in short: i'm trying to visually portray the contradiction present in needing someone to hurt you to maintain your worldview/sense of self, when they don't want to do that.

the lyric in the caption is from heartland, which is an album about struggles for authorial control, and resentment over how someone else portrays you, and a shift from complete belief in someone/something towards that resentment... where authorial power is conflated with godhood. (it is also about gay romance.)

also, here's a version from before i did the black background:

site update! added a guestbook page using this comment widget. blog posts get unique comments sections from now on, and the barrier blocks intro now has one retroactively.

#did this a little while ago and forgot to mention
