Inspiration is so funny to me. This last month, I've had like zero motivation to draw, and then the other day, I misread a sign that says "Tour" as "Taur", and now I want to draw 500 taurs

Eyeless perception ⁽²⁰²⁴⁾

Unfortunately, the used laptop fell through, so instead, I'll be doing plan B, which is just biting the bullet and setting up WSL on my tower (which I'll do after I upgrade to W11). I've got a busy next few months in front of me, so it might be a while, but I haven't forgotten about this!!!!

Maybe it's because they're designed around abstract nostalgia, but there's something I find so indescribably comforting and cozy about weirdcore stuff and I always wonder if the feeling is mutual. I'm legit addicted to those "weirdcore images with so-and-so soundtrack" vids

My art fight entries this year! Characters belong to: X: softandferal @cytosprout.bsky.social @catfr1end.bsky.social @trufours.bsky.social (on the left)

The random team button has spoken, I am officially team fossil on art fight! This admittedly changes my plans a bit, but I find it more satisfying to be on the team with less players (substantially less in the case wow), so I'll figure it out!

Oh god, I was gonna join team crystal on the basis that the majority of my bookmarked characters are all on team fossil, but they just revealed the team numbers and it turns out crystal already has like 20k+ extra players SDLKJFS I may be back to leaving it up to random chance again!

Since it came up recently, I should clarify that despite what it might look like, I am indeed planning on participating in art fight! I've just made a habit out of getting randomly assigned a team once the event starts. It feels more fun that way!

Other artists: [getting their art fight profiles and character refs ready] Me: what if my characters had that weird ball shaped tail that stantler has

It honestly makes me so happy that even like a year and a half later, people are still finding the A.I.K.O. magazine ad. Despite how little I've drawn them, I still think about them a lot, and I have so many ideas for them that I absolutely do not have time to work on LOL

Despite just being some wings and a pair of eyes, AIKO are surprisingly expressive!

Figured I should mention since it came up this morning, but in case anyone's curious, I'll be getting a used computer at some point this summer that I plan on converting to a Linux box, and once I've got that set up, I'll finally be doing up a Linux build for Impart :)

I setup a few new character pages for Art Fight!

silly fellow!

VENGEANCE ⁽²⁰²²⁾

I guess now is as good a time as ever to post Wereguar's ref here. I could have sworn I had shared it here before, but I guess not!

#drawmries a commission for @storyteller.monster! I added grey to the background to help prevent the entire picture from blending into each other (there's only so many values I can add to black and white pixels)

I miss when the crows filled the sky ²⁰²⁰

About seven years ago, I had a dream where I saw a fakemon that I still think about to this day. This here is a ref I drew of them back in 2022

Dennios wyvern rider. I was investing on new techniques.

They thought they heard you say "typh" and were just curious if you were talking about them. They didn't mean to bother you though!!

[watching the ruby/sapphire speedrun] wow marshtomp is so cute actually

Oh me? I would never hurt you!

SUN MAKER HOLD THE WORLD IN YOUR HANDS

Impart v1.1.0 is out! • Exclude tags by alt clicking to hide items with a given tag • Filter by directory • Collapsible Tag Groups • (fixed) Error reporting! (It broke before release but now that it's working, you should actually get error notifications if something breaks)

Tangentially related: In an effort to get back into creative stuff, I've been working on Impart again! I might let it simmer for a second while I test it locally, but I'll probably do an update for it today or tomorrow with a few small features that I've added

I have no idea if this is shared feeling or if I'm just insane, but I've always had this like life long obsession with the idea of being watched from the rooftops

DEITY ⁽²⁰²²⁾

It's funny, once I got Impart to a usable state, I was worried it would be an absolute slog to tag my gallery. Instead, I ended up obsessively tagging it over the course of a week! It's shockingly therapeutic

For the past few months, I've been working on a little gallery organization tool so that I can finally organize my art by character/species, and I figured I'd make it publicly available in case anyone else wanted to do the same! arastryx.itch.io/impart

A cutout of a magazine ad from waaay back in the day when they first announced these guys. I remember seeing so excited to see one!

I just think it's funny

For the past few months, I've been working on a little gallery organization tool. Long story short, it's a little file tagging thing so that I can finally browse my art by character
