On the topic of COLOR blend mode to check values. Not all hues (and color pickers) are the same value wise. Some got different degrees of saturation that translates to wildly different apparent values Marco Bucci explains it best imo. youtu.be/gJ2HOj22gDo?... bsky.app/profile/gali...

if you wanna start getting out of an art block, you can try drawing something silly and low-stakes that you can draw a bunch of at once, like ladybugs, flowers, etc. Don't think too hard about it, just put something on the page, as if you're doodling in class to help pass the time. Hope it helps!

The vast majority of people will never give a single toot about that line you've been redrawing for five minutes. Don't strive for perfect, strive for having fun with your craft and banishing the part of yourself that cares about perfection in the first place

I'll start:

Guess who got into Vintage Story and made an OC specifically around the game? ( #stridesart ) ( #furry #VS #oc_art )

So, a friend and I played some modded Vintage Story, and went through the usual song and dance of removing mods when they just don't work. One of those mods, however, still colors the hill we live on...

Remember, if you ever need a merc out on the Frontier, some are crazy enough to only demand action as the payment! For example, my main character on the various Frontier servers, Meina-Nia! [ #stridesart ] [ #scalie #spacestation14 #kobold ]

THEY ADDED NEW GARBAGE reblog to save a life

I got a very moving Ask about avoiding defeatism on the forbidden website, and I wanted to share it because it's something I believe very strongly

furries who genuinely act like our community is full of "degenerates" because of the sex jokes and sex positivity have completely forgotten our community was built on kink and celebration of queer sexuality made by queers fuck offfff

Lloyd Didcot, 32, took the unusual step to not carefully prepare a mental script for his coffee order last Friday and, subsequently, experienced the actual, literal torture of eternal damnation for about five minutes in his local Costa.

Can you believe that I've had Violet this whole time, and no proper refsheet for her current look? [ #stridesart ] [ #ss14 #moth #furry ]

fat girl fall? no, fat girl forever

Aaaaa, been a bit since I've sent any art out to the net! Been making a bunch, I just keep forgetting to send it out >_>" As I get some other projects going, though, enjoy Violet in her Frontier Ready Clone, now with a psionic rift where a heart should be! [ #lewdstrides ] [ #art #moth #plussize ]

So, this was the last thing I was able to draw before my tablet decided to just act weird. I think it's working again, for the most part, but if it doesn't? This is a proper send off drawing it made! [ #stridesart ] [ #furry #art #shadekin ]

Been playing some Reclamation with friends! I love the Embers mod, just as much as I hate it! [ #stridesart ] [ #scalie #art ]

Some transgender people see only darkness in front and behind them. The current climate is especially accelerating this. Transgender people just want to love the people they love and live their lives as themselves. Let's all join hands and change the world🫶🌏🫶

Always easy to forget as a shapeshifter that you don't have to keep being the same thing you once were! [ #stridesart ] [ #furry #digital_sketch ]

Guess who decided to make a comic for one of my character's story events? I'll try and post how much I've made of this like... once a month? (I also might chop this up into smaller pictures for BSky if this looks *too* crunchy >_>") [ #stridesart ] [ #comic #digital_art #SS14 #Shadekin ]

Violet tends to do a good job of keeping her fluff looking sleek in the summer, but all it takes is one scary movie or video with a loud scream to poof her out! [ #stridesart ]

Not sure what it means, but sometimes you get into a weird mood and suddenly know of all the warmth in your chest :p [ #lewdstrides ] [ #furry #sketch ]

Remember, if you want to see a shadekin go full cat mode, give them the drugs that cause psychic powers to manifest :3 [ #stridesart ] [ #shadekin #spacestation14 #sketch ]

This is a PSA for anyone who follows artists: Your comments are NOT annoying! I think I speak for many of us we are starved for praise on our work so please if you have something to say lay it on thick WE LIKE IT. I promise you it is not seen as cringe or a bother, we love the interaction!

More out of order art! My girl Anemoia's gone through... a LOT! And her core is now unable to fully function.  [ #stridesart ] [ #Furry #SS14 #Shadekin ]

I dont "NETWORK", I do not "keep a consistent schedule", I don't try to make my art "stand out" on people's feeds. I POST MY ART. And if it flops, I DON'T CARE.

The drawings I'm uploading are so out of order but I don't care! I made this last night as a concept for how my main 'sona looks and her Better End related plan for the Overworld! Also she's nude because I forgot clothes were a thing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ [ #stridesart ] [ #furry #scalie #digital_art ]

Tuseri's used to just eating the weird starry moss, much to Eridesa's panic (and later chagrin). Also, expect more Artfight stuff to be posted for the next week or so! [ #stridesart ] [ #artfight2025 ]

When the monthlies come for her girlfriend, Vio gets to work making sure she feels nice! [ #stridesart ] [ #art #moth #furry ]

In case any of my fellow creatives also needed this reminder:

This is the first thing Anemoia posted on the Net after waking up from being FUNCTIONALLY DEAD for a week. She's got her priorities right, at least. [ #stridesart ] [ #art #shadekin #meme ]

* The warmth of a steaming bath fades away slowly. Violet is filled with the power of honey-scented soaps. * * You are filled with the power of moff tiddy :3 * [ #lewdstrides ] [ #furry_art #moth ]

I really do need to get back into the swing of digital paintings, they're really fun to practice doing! [ #stridesart ] [ #digitalart ]

thingy sitting

Still can't believe Google now has a prominent feature *above all the search results* designed to give only wrong answers

Celebration 🚪🎉🌈

Wow, it's been forever since I've drawn her, and, well, since her story's going in entirely new directions in the campaign I'm rebooting her for... Might as well give her a bit of an update! [ #stridesart ] [ #dndart #kobold #scalie ]

Oops, I forgot to post in forever! Have some sketches of Violet being a dork and a half! #stridesart #moth #shadekin #sketch
