At the time of posting this I'm mega unemployed but once I secure a new day job, I plan to keep comms open on the side as an extra source of income, hence why I wanna keep my prices fair to keep both interest and my own motivation alive 🙏🏽

I was inspired by the single cover of Artemas' Eat Me Alive for this one :p Working in (mostly) black and white and relying on heavy shadows to convey form was a fun exercise 🫶🏽

I did the trend!! I know I JUST SAID it was a whole other essay 🌞 but circling back to the intro the thought process behind this one is that it pmo so bad women don't get to just Be. If that makes sense. Girlhood can be cutesy and whimsy AND gross and primal and perverted idc. But at the same time those traits shouldn't be painted in a negative light and should instead be regarded as someone's natural beauty (So guess who watched Beastars and lowkey agreed with the overall themes but was really disappointed there wasn't a huge emphasis on those points in regards to women). Lately the whole reason I've been leaning into my fursona is because it's a fun and healthy way to express those ideals because it makes sense coming from a (quite literal) animalistic perspective. God bless women who are a little beastly and bloody even if it's not "''"conventionally ladylike""'". Gotta be one of the top Girl Experiences of all time amen.

DON’T. Worry about me guys I’m okay. 👋🏽 I’ve actually been wanting to draw this out for a hot minute now because I felt like if I didn’t I was gonna implode and art is one of the few mediums I can truly express myself through (who guessed), even if this isn’t my main corner. So apologies for the jumpscare 🗿
