No stream tonight as many misfortunes of timing have befallen me but I did update my vGen request forms to require an email address in case of emergencies, usually vGen communications will stay within vGen while my Ko-Fi requests are delivered via email.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

Hey

Happy Black History Month 🙌🏾❣️ I'm Silver, a black/filipino trans artist with a passion for serving freaky, alternative, queer cats to all! 🐱🫀🔪🔥 🔗 linktr.ee/blacksugarpill Support black artists/creators forever and always 🕺🏾💖 #art #blackartist #blackhistorymonth

Since two distinct friend groups wanted to see this, may as well link it here. Carl explains why guard rails are patently bullshit and why more-complicated-auto-correct should barely be allowed to do anything besides regurgitate slop in a sandbox.

I thought Crohn’s treatment was like the dark ages until I see what people with Endo have been dealing with. There’s not even a maintenance drug for inflammation. Hormones as the only treatment is crazy. Every test is practically medieval, at least they put you under twilight for scopes, christ.

respectfully, "why don't you use adobe alternative" is the equivalent of "why don't you just move" artists know they have options, take a pause and ask if you're the one who isn't understanding the industry-wide infrastructure and the investment it takes to familiarize yourself with new programs

I'm a black artist who has been drawing the comic "Cirque Royale" for 10 years this month. None of the characters are human but many are black-coded. bsky.app/profile/cirq...

Except for my original discord account which is untouched except to change passwords (I already had 2FA and I’ve been using an alt while waiting to hear from discord), the rest of my accounts appear to be safe. Had some people not sure or not responding to ANY of my messages. It’s me I swear

Now my medical insurance has passed me two big bills. I'm having enormous expenses these months if you could help me by supporting my Patreon or buying on my Ko-fi shop I would be very grateful 😭😭😭😭 Unless till I find a job www.patreon.com/beatrizrebol... ko-fi.com/Manage/

Jurassic Park is a movie about the redeeming qualities of knowing how to use Unix

Hey everyone! Huge news! Our trans girl scout list has sold a total of 146,000 boxes as of today! But MANY trans girl scouts only have 20, 30, 40 boxes sold. I just resorted our list to put those on the top. Go get your girl scout cookies and make a trans kid's day!

Made a new Pizza Rat vehicle for my stream tonight and I can put flags on it

Do every animator you follow a favor and dont reply with that list of Adobe alternatives in their rightfully distressed posts about losing the core of their workflow you are not helping They know already. That is not the problem.

Hey

Notepad++'s update mechanism was compromised from June to December 2025. They believe it was a state actor practicing selective targeting and not a no-hosts-refused malware gang situation. https://notepad-plus-plus.org/news/hijacked-incident-info-update/

I was dealing with this while doing damage control after my discord compromise so I couldn’t post about it sooner and I had to get things in order. Jekyll’s death cost a significant amount of money for me, over $1000, anything helps if you are inclined to do so. ko-fi.com/ixellent

The grief was bad today. I had the worst mental health day I’ve had in awhile and I am so mad and I miss my cat. I made more pepperoni rolls though.

I was thinking about visual mental imaging so, naturally, I attempted to draw ghost pokemon from memory

jesus christ lol idk man just keep making art i guess

I have never been moved to tears by a quirky tech youtuber before. I really need folks to see the last 15 minutes of this even if you can't commit to the whole thing. youtu.be/KtQ9nt2ZeGM?...

Hey yall. As you've seen here - unfortunately a large portion of the ivy road team was laid off today, myself included. We're all looking for work! Gonna do a quick thread about those who were laid off today and why you should hire them:

It's a new year, now's a great time to start calling the PayPros because they aren't expecting to get bugged again. More and more games are getting cancelled for Stateside releases or forced to get censored (see the Dispatch release on Switch) and with the X stuff going on, go yell about that

hey folks, I have the unfortunate news that I am opening up some commissions slots. I was ghosted by two freelance clients after sending work and now I can't pay rent. DM or email me if you are interested! get a cute little guy for 50-100$ USD examples here, please share! #Blender3d #indiedev

Reminding everyone, PLEASE, DO NOT sub to your favorite content creators through phone apps as it not only charges you more, it also takes a higher % from us AND to top it all off blocks the money from being received for 30 fucking days for some goddamned reason.

There's a possibility that ice is coming to raid the dayton area in around a week, let people know especially in springfield because that's a focus. If you know anyone in ohio and indiana, *tell them*.

“art” is an anagram of “rat”. think about that before you look at a beautiful painting

Please do try to take care of yourself. No matter how hard it gets. If not for yourself, then for the people who love you. Whether they're here or gone. They love you and want you to be cared for. That will never change.

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.

ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

So! The repair shop got back with me about my sewing machine and it's gonna cost more than originally expected to get 'er fixed ^^; I've restocked a bunch of my bags as well as other options online to try and help with costs. Limited qty of most! Get while ya can - help me get my machine back ;n;

Its okay if you’re scared right now. Theres no shame in that. You’re not alone. Many of us are. Being brave in the face of adversity doesnt mean a denial of how you feel in the moment. Being brave in the moment is an acknowledgment that you ARE scared & you NEED to do something about it. ❤️

I had to say goodbye to Jekyll on Saturday after 17 years. He was my best friend and companion and he took me as far as he could. He was not always loving or lovable but he warmed up with time and I love him anyway. ❤️

Learning the difference between discomfort and harm is how you can exist in any social space. If the mere *idea* of something makes you spiral or lash out, you need to take a step back. This isn't even just "A vs B"; being so unable to sit with your own discomfort causes in-fighting (+)

Pretty pissed about James Gurney. His books on color and light and imaginative realism are practically required reading. This is a guy who made endless maquettes of things so he could paint them more realistically, he does not need genAI at all whatsoever, knows better, and yet here we are.

Catching up with what James Gurney, the Dinotopia artist, is up to these days. Pathetic.

I still take character commissions FYI, happy to work within budgets as well (maybe you don't need full color artwork? maybe you don't want a motorcycle? Send me a message 👍) vgen.co/ixellent ko-fi.com/ixellent/com...

Made some Felicia Darkstalkers artwork for my friend Bones to use on a fight stick ⭐ The foil version turned out great too!

Hey #portfolioday I’m Pam Wishbow, an illustrator that makes limited color, print inspired work based in Seattle, WA. I’m looking to do more work in publishing, editorial, and games this year. represented by How Do You Do pamwishbow.com

Hi #portfolioday, I'm Drac and I'm literally an actual vampire if you didn't notice and I make cute low poly things for fun and sometimes for profit. I'm not looking for employment but my VGen waitlist is currently available -> vgen.co/obviouslydracula

Meowdy! I'm Silver! 🐈‍⬛️💖 I like to draw weird freaky cats, stream on Twitch and table at events with my art! 🕺🏾🔥 🔗✨️ linktr.ee/blacksugarpill [ #art #blackartist #transartist #horrorart ]

Just finished Slots & Daggers and what a gem of a game. I never felt “too stupid” to understand all the mechanics or put together viable combos (like I do with some other ‘gambling’ deckbuilders..) Love the ‘dexterity’ aspect. And I really like how it looks!
