switching from "how to write/draw manga" to "how to write/draw shoujo manga" on youtube has finally landed me on actual relevant questions to answer/ponder for my stories it never clicked until recently that most "how to draw" videos are shonen-focused

what the actual fuck

art summary done! had a bit of a lull around September-October, but at least i got something for each month \o/ #ArtSummary #ArtSummary2025 #OCsky

i started playing when shadowbringers dropped, got teary-eyed over noraxia but i experienced the vault 2 weeks after my cat's brother passed away in a traumatic way and i was binge-playing the game to cope mentally lol so say i was a mess is a huge understatement

a little late with this but its done! (btw if you were considering backing the Comix Cleric kickstarter, they have 9 days left and need less than $1k USD to be fully funded!) #DTIYS #DrawThisInYourStyle #ComixCleric #manga #comic

socmed has always felt like shouting to the void for me but that's mostly because i'm pretty inconsistent with posting due to all the bs algo rules every platform required you to follow in order to actually be seen but here it feels like i pop out from under my rock, people nod, and i go back under

i think with the influx of new and returning users, it'd be really neat if we shared this nearly fully-funded kickstarter around more to help get it to its targeted audience 🥺👉👈 (i want to use it in the future so i am hoping it succeeds)

Enjoying the For You feed? Give it a like ♡ to help more people discover it: bsky.app/profile/did:... The more people use it -> the more feedback we get -> the better we can make it for you.

clip studio only accepting contest entries via facebook, instagram, or twitter posts kind of sucks for many reasons but it does point out that they don't pay attention to their user base/targeted audience

we drove our cat around the neighborhood to see the christmas lights people put up and its the most calm he's been in a car in the past 3 years despite getting lightly sprinkled on by the rain i think he was more interested in the smells and sounds rather than the sights lol

every year, i think about a theatre teacher i had in middle school that sang "have yourself a merry little christmas" for us before winter break started she sang it with such love and beauty, it became my favorite christmas song i try to sing it just like her, maybe one day i'll sing it for others

i secretly watch my different social accounts compete on follower count even though i don't consistently post on them, but its fun to see them sitting in a similar range tiktok is in the lead, followed by youtube in 2nd, twitch in 3rd, and bsky trails behind in 4th place as the newest platform

I think the fundamental gap here is that non-creative people think that creative people make things for the end product, when in fact it’s the act of creation and not the end point that makes it worthwhile.

Sonnie's another OC I'm throwing into Artfight! My solar-powered idol-bot who is a fan of Steam Powered Giraffe~ and i guess she can also count as a mikusona lol artfight.net/character/62... #Artfight #Artfight2025 #TeamCrystals #fanbot #SPGiraffe

more #artfight revenges~ i'm really trying to focus on shading and atmosphere with the pieces i do so far all i've done are revenges lmao (i wish it was alot easier finding characters from the opposite team) #Artfight2025 #TeamCrystals

in more website-coding endeavors why is it hard to set up an easy-to-upload image gallery? if it requires more steps than "select image, write caption" i know i'm not gonna actually utilize it 🫠

i have been both productive and procrastinating productive, but a little to the left procrastination-adjacent productive procrastination 😜👍 (i didn't realize it was already 2am)

i love tinkering with website coding, set up my own wiki for the hell of it but a wiki skin i added is breaking my brain because i can't find out where to remove links in a header navbar that this skin added that's not part of the normal sidebar 😫 i wanna keep the skin, its pink 🥺

since my internet keeps messing up my ipad airplay during streams, i've been trying to get the hang of drawing in clip studio paint but it doesn't feel as nice and smooth and intuitive as procreate lol

egg nog season....

my favorite time of year on social media is october because of the influx of art and everyone coming up with halloween alts of their names lol

if you use vgen, please consider giving my buddy marg a follow!

staging a blackout in opposition of nsfw censorship on a platform that doesn't profit off advertisements seems performative at the least, and sabotaging at the most. be loud, be noisy, but also tag, label and alt text your nsfw art/photos properly so the current moderating tools work as intended

this is still open!
