Slow Dissolve's Art-only Blog

I saw a post of fan art earlier this week featuring the Gaang, but which didn't include Suki. I seek to correct this oversight with my own art dedicated to one of the most badass feminist characters in ATLA.

My younger child turns 23 today. Since he often makes decisions like what to wear or which menu item to get by flipping a coin, I made him his own custom brass coin.

His name is Linus, and the "Nihil Obstat" means "Nothing obstructs", or, in other words, "There's nothing in your way." I think it's a good wish for someone's birthday.

for @korrinha, to thank her for translating a song from Portuguese that I'd wanted to understand for over a year.

@danielleitloudernow I'm not too late! It's still the 29th here for more than an hour!

Like Asami, I have to work late sometimes.

Korra's fallen asleep while waiting for Asami to wrap up so they can go home. Asami's taking advantage the moment of quiet to indulge herself with a little artwork of her own.

She'll snip it off the sheet before taking the schematics to the shop floor. Maybe she'll keep it in a desk for when she needs a little distraction; after all, those abs can be very distracting.

An early Yuletide gift for @nyamadermont, @watercaressesearth, and all my other Kyalin fan compatriots.

These are prototypes, so I don't have any on the etsy shop yet, but I'm working on getting different varieties ready for the holiday shopping season.

The one on the left is made with maple, and the one on the right with HDPE. Woods tend to crack when being drilled, so I'd hoped the plastic would work better (and it does work beautifully), but adhesives don't like to stick to it. Fortunately I can make a silicone mold and do epoxy resin in any color.

So my disabled daughter makes little polymer clay sculptures for our Etsy shop. Making these little creatures makes her happy.

Several people have liked our red and black octopuses, so we decided we could go ahead and be more inclusive, so there are several pride flag varieties to choose from. She also has started to do this with other critters, her green snake and this cute li'l crab.

And she (and thus I) would be over the moon if you considered one of her pride dragons; our logo comes from these.

Stop by our shop and have a look at the things she's made, and I've made, and maybe you'll find something you like. Buy it this week and you'll probably still get it before Valentine's day… but really, love is for every day of the year.

Lin's first Kid meets the newest Kid in her life.

Thanks again to @slowdissolve for art, edits, and collaboration!

Sweet @slowdissolve made me a drawing to cheer me up one night. We started talking about it, and this happened:

The heels were killing her.

Here she was, wearing stupid fragile high heels that took her away from good contact with the earth. A fancy dress she laid damn good money for. No armor. No backup.

How the flameo did she let this happen?

A commission I would gladly have done for free for the most excellent @nyamadermont to accompany her compelling fic:

Hey... I worked my butt off to get some of these ready to show you.

These are a new style of pocket knife I have on our Etsy shop. Now we're able to put in more detail than ever, and include even more people than before!

Here are the currently available designs, including the just announced Polyam flag. Of course, if you want something custom, be sure to ask!

It's all in time for your holiday gift giving, even if you're only giving to yourself.

First time I've ever done a fanart for The Owl House, and it's from a big fic I read recently. It's from Chapter 45 of this:
