my name is zmeess (pronounced z-MEH-yes, no capitalization necessary but if you do it's not a big deal), also known as zem

they/them

my tip jar is here! i also occasionally post sketches and wips over there

spoilers abound on all of my socials, so please be careful and block me if you need to. i try to do my best to tag spoilers for a while after this or that thing came out. i absolutely hate spoilers myself, which is one of the reasons i almost never venture outside of my little corner of the internet. please do not spoil stuff in replies/reblogs/tags to my posts and dms/asks

all of my socials are n/s/f/w to a certain degree and while i don't post super explicit stuff on here specifically, i don't tag suggestive stuff. i do add tumblr's mature label to any posts that would warrant it

my brush settings are here

i don't do speedpaints i DO do speedpaints now! under the #zmeess speedpaints tag. you can also find progress shots of various drawings under the #zmeess progress shots tag

please do not repost, trace, or copy my work! using it as icons is fine as long as you credit me with a clickable link in your bio. you can't use my art as icons on any platform/account that is monetized

feel free to mass like and reblog my stuff

currently, i do not sell prints.

sword and shield

have a nice day and thank you for existing

thank you so much!! the posing had been wonderfully described to me by the characters' creator in the commission request, so i knew what to go for 🥰 it's always huge fun to be able not to just draw a couple of characters, but also to convey their dynamic in just one image!

commission for @icenineporcupine, their characters Rio, a human artificer/warlock, and Hennie, firbolg wizard/blood-hunter! thank you for commissioning me ❤️

commission for @hitheeprithee, his minecraft OC Xylem! thank you for commissioning me 💙

it was high time i went around giving out freshly baked cookies after moving into a new fandom like a new neighborhood. the cookies are shirtless lads

but for real: new dolls to play with, having fun figuring out what they should look like in my art

Also I love all your art!! Whenever you post I am so excited to see what I will find!!

(aww thank you so much! 🥰)

i agree! i've been enjoying the jokey comments i've received about the shadowgast - orufrey pipeline, but i actually don't think the characters or their relationships are that similar :D obviously there is enough thematic overlap that a significant portion of people have found both ships appealing to them (duh, all of them are wizards facing moral dilemmas), but my lil brain is getting different kinds of enjoyment out of these ships. i will say that if anything, Caleb and Oru have a fundamental similarity in that they're both characters whose primary objective is to protect and serve people; but Essek and Qifrey are radically different, with Essek being a character trying to seek out knowledge while being shunned and Qifrey's ultimate goal being finding peace without dying or abandoning his identity. like, there are parallels, including between Oru and Essek (lil guy holed up in his tower making stuff) and Qifrey and Caleb (teachers) but they don't fold into the same archetype for me.
