I'm in the mood to draw some demon girl preds, but I'm drawing a blank on characters. So, does anyone have a suggestion for a demoness that's NOT FROM HAZBIN HOTEL? Nothing against the series, but I know that that's all people would suggest otherwise. Also, I'm looking for characters from existing properties, not other people's OCs.

This is not relevant to my activity here at all, but I feel the need to make this known everywhere that I can. I have officially abandoned Twitter forever. Every single user on there- from both sides of the political spectrum -have become so disgustingly rude, intolerant, and racist that I refuse to use the platform anymore. From now on, BlueSky is my only social media.

Another year has come to an end, and for me, it was… complicated. It started out so well, with a lot of progress being made on my first novel and the second one being started. However, the end of the year was brutal. I still don’t have a job or a literary agent, and just a few weeks ago, my sister’s car was totaled. Thankfully she was safe, but with both of our issues piling up, the mood in the house has been very depressing for a while. In some ways this was better than 2023, and in others it was worse.
There’s only one thing I can really do, and it’s what I’ve always done- carry on. Despite the setbacks and adversity, I’m still trying. I’m still sending out applications and queries, and I’m still writing my stories. I can’t say when things will turn around, but I know that they...

Like many others, I've created a BlueSky account now that Twitter / X is so... well, you know. I'm still gonna use Twitter, at least until it inevitably goes down in flames completely, but now you have one more platform to not follow me on. Like my Twitter and DA, I won't upload vore stuff there outside of a few exceptions.

If, for some reason, you do want to follow me there, here you go: https://bsky.app/profile/jademarauder.bsky.social

I’ve had some time to think and sort my life out. I still have a lot of issues to address, but thankfully, my family really stepped up to help me out. If nothing else, I’m grateful for that. Now that I’ve worked through the worst of my anxiety for now, I think I’m ready to start writing and drawing again. Chances are, things will still be slow-going at first. My first priority will be finishing the last few entries that were intended for the Month of the Monsters on my DA. After that… well, we’ll just have to wait and see.

I'm stepping away from the internet for a while. My depression has gotten so bad that I can't function anymore. Even sitting down and writing or drawing- things I normally love to do -are too much for me right now. I'm finding myself randomly bursting into tears and having panic attacks from the sheer stress and pain I'm in. This is the worst I've felt in years by far, and I need to fix my life in some MAJOR ways before I can start working on anything again.

Hopefully the next time you hear from me, things will be different. Until then, though, take care of yourselves better than I've taken care of myself. Goodbye for now.

And here everything seemed to be going so well... I don't like venting online, but I feel like I have to in this instance. Feel free to ignore this.

First off, I just quit my job. I could not stand doing the same boring thing day in and day out anymore- not with no work to do and a boss who rarely ever got back to me on anything. Now I'm back in the boring, demoralizing grind of trying to find a new job, and with my lack of college education and inability to tolerate dealing with customers, it's hard to even find a job I would be able to suffer through.

Perhaps even more demoralizing is my bad luck with publishing my book. I've reached out to a few literary agents, and been rejected SHOCKINGLY quickly. One turned me down in less than 30 minutes. I don't know if...

Hey guys! I finally submitted the finished manuscript of the first Jasirudo book to a potential publisher! Bare in mind that that's ALL I've done- reached out and sent them the manuscript -so we're still a long ways away from seeing the book on shelves. Still, this is a huge step. I might actually be able to fulfill my dream of being a real author! Wish me luck!

As I'm sure you've noticed, it's been a long time since I've drawn anything. There's a reason for that. You see, to celebrate the Year of the Dragon, I'm participating in the drawing challenge of "Smaugust" this year- I'll be drawing a dragon every day in the month of August. Unfortunately, though, since some of the planned drawings are so complicated, I won't be able to draw anything here on Eka's during the month. I actually had to get a head-start with some of the more complex pictures, and I still don't think I'll be able to stay on schedule for the entire month. I will, however, still be posting some writing here. I have a few stories that are nearly finished already, so I won't disappear completely during the month of August.

Guys… I’ve finally done it. After so, so long, I’ve done it. Jasirudo Book 1: Destiny of the Dragon is DONE!!! Every chapter has been written! 38 chapters, 191,806 words, 1 book in a series of five… I can’t believe it.
I could have- and honestly SHOULD have –finished the first book years ago. To be perfectly honest, this moment has been… intimidating for me to think about. The Jasirudo series is something I first came up with when I was a little kid- a VERY little kid. The first version of the story, way before it resembled what it is now, came about when I was 5 years old. And that’s why I took so long to finish it. Being able to actually write this story for others to read always felt like an unattainable dream to me, and I suppose I never got over the feeling of being a little kid...
