ix. the hermit

“Ghosts aren’t real” it’s very fair and rational that you believe that

“Ghosts aren’t real anymore” I’m about to hear a poem or very sad story

hii! ill keep this short since people onowbthe spiel- i am multiply disabled and reliant on my art, i desperately need to be taking in more work as i am surviving on about $200-300 a month for myself and my cats entire needs, increasingly untenable especially as i am regaining access to medical care

i can draw pretty much anything, and styles are heavily variable, but if you have a specific request you want to hash out feel free to dm me here!

I finally got a chance to siddown and post these:

you can see the atmosphere. that halo around the edge, that's my air. the green on the upper right is my aurora. those are my clouds, my sunlight.
