I am once again in the convention prep mines so here's a preview of the shiny new ps2 platformers merch designs I just finished. People liked the spyro/crash one I did so of course I had to make a Jak and Daxter + Ratchet and Clank one to match 🦦 #jakanddaxter #ratchetandclank #art #shopstuff 🤖

lrp wow that reddit post has gotta be the best summation of what went down with minna sundberg I've seen, and I hadn't even heard most of the stuff about why she'd converted, it's so sad but also not surprising unfortunately...

oh god my other (non-grimes) roman empire. tried reading the comic but am not big on zombie/survival type media + art too angular. but the strange way it ended www.reddit.com/r/HobbyDrama...

been cookin this since the okami sequel announcement 🥹 cant stop think about it #okami #art

colored quick lamorak sketch 🤤

HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE BEEN TRAPPED IN OBTAIN DISPLAY COLOR

Mob Pyscho 100 - Be a good person.

Saw a lot of headlines saying "wikipedia is embracing ai" being tossed around tabloids, and I'm pretty sure they were maliciously written to make you feel a certain way about Wikipedia. What's actually happening is that wikipedia is demanding payment for data scraping and the corpos don't like that.

A little piece I had under wraps for a Discord server holiday exchange! My giftee was @dropdead-cosplay.bsky.social ✨ I had a lot of fun trying something new. No sketching, just shapes and textures. I thought it'd be cute to make "a little golden book" but vashwood. 💖 #trigun

Trying to get back into doing more detailed illustrations instead of just character art. I love a mossy forest. #art #oc

If I had a nickel for every time I found out via an instagram reel that a girl I went to highschool with was now a successful comedian I would have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it's happened twice

Playing the new ACNH update after not touching it for like 3 years and OH BOY I do not remember any of the controls

Oh RIP they've confirmed EB games is shutting down end of the month... rough for all the employees... on the upside they are doing 50% off everything from tomorrow. part of me wishes I'd waited to get za with this discount instead of the 30% off... but logically it'll probably just sell out lmao

Okay I finally made a portfolio day post for my OC/VN dev acct

I need you, Date! 😭 #art #aitsf #aithesomniumfiles

You can use this starter pack to follow our members individually. Go check out their comics! go.bsky.app/9xoK8kP

Also looking back on hiveworks that article did make me remember one thing I always found weird was the fact they never broke ties with the stand still stay silent creator even after she converted hardcore fundie christian. like they literally did a kickstarter for her comic years after her pivot

The hiveworks stuff is shocking enough on it's own but finding out one of the main perpetrators was making cutesy uwu crow comics the whole time they were belittling other creators really took the cake. why is it always the ones who present themselves as The Most Wholesome who end up being the Worst

Because it doesn't seem to be well-known, Isa is the creator of the webcomics Namesake and Crow Time. Her audience is enormous and many of us have been wary of saying anything for fear of backlash - some of us have experienced backlash in small doses already. Take this as you will. I'm so tired.

Jesus, I figured something must've been up with how many creators were leaving, but I didn't think it would be $300k+ in debt bad... The worst part is HW took in a lot of artists from inkblazers/manga magazine after That site imploded, they got out of the frying pan only to end up in the fire...

idk what my first post should be, so just look at my latest #AceAttorney art

lrp ugh cygames doing AI shit now..... I was hoping they maybe just meant automation stuff and phrased it badly but no all the employment listings are all full of GenAI specific buzzwords so it's definitely the slop variety... I haven't actively played granblue in years but it still sucks

lrp as I was saying about not impulsively deleting your accounts based on a single post lmao. tho tbf with all the shit that's been going on with grok lately I think deleting is uh. pretty justified regardless of the tos change being real or not

There was a post going around by this user on the updated tos for Twitter, which they now state was false information. That post went viral so please be aware!

Good morning~! I've added a new item to my shop: Trans Pride cat rolls! These small friends are 7 inches long from nose to butt, with crisp sublimated details. (Including delightful lil toe beans!!!) They're available for order now! plushmayhem.etsy.com Shares great appreciated! <3

Got a little Brightheart figure and thought it would be fun to do some fanart for it. Can't believe official merch actually exists now. [ #art #warriorcats ]

lrt oh damn, I had been wondering about the state of their finances given all their sales recently (they've been running 30% off basically the entire store for like two weeks now which is too good of a deal to be remotely financially viable) but I didn't think there'd be closing talks this soon...

I'm not surprised a physical-media games store is struggling, kinda amazing they outlasted the chain record stores and video stores Still, awful to see more people thrown out of work right now www.rnz.co.nz/news/busines...

Picked up a zelda amiibo for the new animal crossing update and the store i got it off was doing a clearance on old skylanders figures... including that one cynder figure where they kinda accidentally made it look like she has tits... which was obviously too funny to not buy for six dollars

If you noticed me forgetting an entire word in that last post no you didn't. I am not making it again

My gift for @friar.bsky.social and I'm sorry this took so long 😭 #KisekiHolidayExchange2025 #trailsofcoldsteel

For people that feel helpless, this period is so tough but there's ways to help for anyone. Go out there support Venezuelan ppl and artists living in it as they prepare for unpredictable times Here is a starter pack of artists with commissions or donations open as well: go.bsky.app/8daQmpX

It's been a long time since I've made lil loaves with teacuplion's cat loaf pattern, but now that I have the new press I can do what I've been wanting to!! Fully sublimated catloaf!! It turned out so cute!!! wahhhh

Oh it varies wildly depending on the complexity of the pose/composition, a basic drawing with just some guys standing there and a simple bg might only take me 5 hours, but a detailed print with complex poses and backgrounds will take double that at BEST

Good news, the print on demand service I use lowered their prices for the thick acrylic standees, so you can now get my Spyro standees for cheaper! 🔥 #spyro #legendofspyro #cynder #shopstuff 🔥

I remembered buttons are a thing that exist so you can now get my rendition of Natori Shuuichi's hit single Unloved in shiny button form 💿 #natsumeyuujinchou #natsumesbookoffriends #shopstuff #natorishuuichi 💿

anyway. I came here to post merch updates and got distracted lol

There's an article going around about tumblr selling data to openAI or whatever (not quoting cause I didn't want to tack on a giant thread to their post), which is a good article and worth being aware of, but I'm seeing way too many ppl panic deleting their accounts over it which is uh. less good

Absolute funniest way I've seen anyone get around Twitter's new AI edit feature is hands down the artist I just saw post their art as a video with 100s of tiny Elon Musk faces scrolling across the art

2025 Art summary! I always enjoy making these but it does always make it very apparent how all over the place I am with what I actually draw #artsummary2025 #artsummary #artmeme

lrt really good starter pack of cool artists but also brings up a really good point about starter packs. I think they're a good concept in theory, but it feels like most of the ones I see ppl making are just Random Lists Of Artists They Like, and those just aren't going to be as effective

Now that there are a TON of starter packs it's harder to gain traction on them, but the best way to get folks to use it is specificity! For this pack I was selective based on: ✔️ Full-Time Working Artist ✔️ Original Artwork (mostly) ✔️ Designs Merchandise ✔️ Critters/Creatures/Cute/Kawaii
