Allow Me to Introduce Myself
New year new introductory post! - I would appreciate it if you read through this post before proceeding, please and thank you <3
Hello there fellow internet people! As you could probably guess from my username, my internet name is Sierra and I do stuff from time to time! This is a quick post to introduce myself a little and to give yall a rundown of what you might find on my blog. Keep in mind that the material of this post is subject to change and if you want to keep an eye out for updates, check for changes in this post or the About-Me on my account.
I go by she/her/hers pronouns, though it doesn't really matter how you refer to me as long as the terms aren't masculine/masculine-presenting. This year is my sophomore year of college, it's anyone's guess whether I'll achieve that associate of psychology degree or not. A few of my favorite things include dragons, cats, movies, most things fantasy related, and shiny things.
This blog is dedicated to my hobby of drawing and creative writing. Most of what you can find on here is my digital art, specifically fanart dedicated to my favorite pieces of media, though I am working up the courage to post my written fanfictions here as well. I don't have a set schedule and my uploads are sporadic and unreliable (sorry, the motivation doesn't always motivate like it's supposed to). The representative of this blog is my sona, Sierra, who is my social media presence's namesake. If you're interested in additional content from me, I have a YouTube channel here- SierraDoesArtZ - YouTube
I'm currently most active in the Wings of Fire fandom, but I am also part of the Warrior Cats, How to Train Your Dragon, Jumalanpelko, and Project Hail Mary fandoms. I also engage with fandoms like Demon Slayer, Hunter X Hunter, Chainsaw Man, Subnautica, Epic: The Musical, and the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but I'm not comfortable with my current skill to start posting about them yet. Maybe someday.
My askbox is closed for the time being because I'm shy and I don't really have the social battery to manage one right now, but it might be open in the future. When it does open up, check this post for rules.
I am not currently taking commissions. If I open them in the future, I will make a post regarding rules and prices, if and when that happens, check this post for the respective link. Until then, comments asking for commissions will be deleted.
While I don't plan on posting any NSFW content, I think it's worth noting that my work doesn't cater to children. My work my display triggering themes that will come with proper warnings and tagged appropriately, however keep in mind that I am not responsible for your media consumption. Proceed at your own risk.
Guide to tags I use to mark posts I make (to be expanded on soon):
#/sierradoesstuffzzz - General tag I use to mark posts I've made
#/sierradoesartz - Tag I use in reference to my YouTube channel
#/sierra'sramblingz - The tag I use for when I'm discussing things like world building, oc/fanfiction lore, or just general rambling about stuff I'm interested in
#/sierraspeakz - Similar to sierra'sramblingz but it refers to more detailed analysis of certain subjects (character analysis, media reviews, etc.), statements on in-fandom drama should I decide to discuss it, or more serious discussion subjects
#/sierraupdates - Tag for posts that I make about updates either on projects I'm working on or changes to this blog/my social media presence
#/sierra'socs - Refers to my original characters (my brain children, my shaylas)
#/Wof Oc-o-Rama! - The series with which I introduce my Wings of Fire specific ocs through reference sheets and lore drops!
A quick statement on blogs I block/material I refuse to interact with: I reserve the right to block accounts that make me uncomfortable, whether they cross my boundaries, promote content that makes me uncomfortable, or have proven to be a danger to a community. Such blogs I block/material I don't condone include:
-Pedos, predators, or groomers of ANY sort
-Zoophillia/blogs that engage with or create zoophillic content
-Bigots of any kind, whether the blog is dedicated to spreading these bigoted views or leaves bigoted comments (homophobic, transphobic, racist/xenophobic, ableist, misogynistic/misandrist, etc., yes, this includes blogs that support MAGA/ICE and other such neo-nazi blogs)
-AI blogs, blogs dedicated to AI-generated imagery/content, blogs that use AI images/writing
-Comments asking about my religious beliefs or asking me if I've found salvation
-Proshipping blogs (what I mean by the term "proshipping", I mean blogs that romanticize and/or support relationships between a confirmed minor character and an adult character, characters from the same family, and/or an abuse victim and their abuser - I think it's important to note that depiction ≠ promotion, but I draw the line when people start to romanticize it and excuse it because it's fictional)
AI statement: I do not consent to having my work, whether it's written or drawn, to be stolen and fed into AI. Art takes time and practice to get right, and if you spend a little time learning, you can become an artist too. Unless I am taking commissions, I do not owe anyone my skill.
It's also worth noting that this blog is purely for hobbyist activites and not for business purposes. I'm not looking to engage in business with anyone, especially not under this account. Blogs that follow me looking to discuss business deals or looking for sponsors to promote their products will be blocked.
I think that's all folks! I can't wait to share my work with you all, and I appreciate every like my posts receive! While I am grateful for every follower I receive, following isn't required and it's all good if you decide to unfollow later. However if you do decide to stay tuned, I appreciate it and I do hope you enjoy your stay! Stay safe out there and remember to stay hydrated!
