art, at its core, is communication. the tradition of writing, to hold our voices frozen in time, was born from pictographs.
though this alphabet, as if an island bird, has evolved to extreme abstraction,
behold yet the letter M : Mem, mu, em, "water."
the sole barrier to being an artist is this:
do you wish to use art to communicate?
if your answer is yes, congratulations.
you are an artist.
but what is art?
the modern era, the haunting spectre of AI, challenges this definition
in new ways. let me say:
you are art, i am art, and you and i are separate in existence.
in my opinion, art is the expression of "you." some limited sum of thought, synthesized into something accessible to others.
but is this too permissive?
does this definition mean, say, a search engine result can be considered art?
i write this to you on a wonder: the sum of many others' hands.
a litany of human names bears up each and every pixel.
are we not the sum of many hands?
are our existences so separate? our thoughts?
a "gradation" is the transition of one hue to the next.
perhaps there are gradations as well
between creations of few hands, to many
until you strike another hue that is no longer the first in any regard.
i delineated my site into spaces for 'writing' & 'art,' for easy perusal.
but in my opinion, you can't really separate the two.
that's why i wrote a poem to put at the entrance of my visual art page, i guess.
also check out my funky lil mascot character. I love him very much.
The God We Dare Not Speak Of
Fantasy generational epic about elves, and the meaning of words. Has its own (wip) site.
Since it's a big project, I'm gonna group the characters/art in this gallery by each major arc.
(fondly) gosh these covers are so old and jank but i still love them
A Pact Made In Blood
The Beast, As It Follows

misc character designs
You can have multiple images collected together, as you can see here! A neat trick for comics!
Condenza
originally a crossover character blending aspects of PMMM and the Atelier Dusk Trilogy.Condenza is a polite and generally stoic automaton with the appearance of a young woman. Though she appears emotionless, a torrent of darkness is contained in the hollow of her chest, occasionally pouring forth to form strange monsters. She is a relic from long ago, and has only bleary memories of the past golden age. She was repaired by a well-meaning girl who told her her purpose was to "just be," when Condenza first awoke and asked for a directive.
Waiting on someone at an aquarium.
forever unfinished, lmao
the posture on this one is super wonky but that's ok. still worth preserving
You can probably see her PMMM dna here...
You can DEFINITELLY see the PMMM dna here.
Anise
originally made for a tegaki-e rp group.Anise is a 'Null,' someone who can suppress magical powers just by being near them. She has a moderate amount of control of this - with effort she can either 'reel herself in' to allow magic in her vicinity, or 'push out' and strengthen the dampening effect and its range. It's an ability she was born with, and she was basically adopted and raised by the Magic Police(TM) on her home planet.
In addition to her nullification power, Anise has a significant amount of cybernetic enhancements throughout her body, including a sophisticated geolocation system and a bionic eye that can catalogue information into easily shareable files as witnessed in real time. It's a paperwork-saving eye, if you will.
Witnera
originally made to be an adventurequest player character.The Lady of Red Rock. A cruel vampiress who rules over an isolated castle that's lapsing into disrepair. Sends her younger sister out to drag victims home to toy with and feed on.
Walker
originally a crossover character blending aspects of End Roll and the Eberron campaign setting.A bizarre, always-horned creature with a shifting form that wanders through dreams, nesting when it finds someone with a guilty conscience. Their presence slowly drags their hosts deeper and deeper into nightmares.
Despite all that, Walker is fairly benign in temperament, and will move on to a new host without a fuss if asked.
