My Steam Deck OLED's right thumbstick's rim just broke apart today. I've kept it in perfect condition, until today. I tried to glue it back together, but it's just not possible. Ruined a good t-shirt in the process. I'm embarrassed to admit that I'm utterly devastated.

Just the prettiest girl in all of Pembrokeshire. Even though she's never been. #dog #DogsOfMastodon #corgi

You know what I could sculpt next? A bust of Luigi Mario doing the Super Nut!

RE: https://beige.party/@kimlockhartga/116908089633836506 I refuse this notion. The precipitation chance—however small a number, it is always above zero—sustains me.

Why don't we make the "paper white" pigment in epaper displays out of glow in the dark stuff? That'd be one way of making them usable in bed...at least for a couple of pages!

For the final week of our June art challenge I had set @kirkfzero.bsky.social me the awful pair of prompts: A picture drawn with only patches of color, no lines! OR any "famous" painting but "wrong" colors only I was probably thinking I'd do something pride […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

After five sessions of me running the adventure Vampire Cruise by Amanda lee Franck pretending it's a maritime heist movie and that there weren't any vampires or anything supernatural in it, with all "weird things" coated in a veneer of plausible deniability, I just used the V word to describe […]

Felt the insatiable urge to animate @n0iroh 's header/hero graphic. Doesn't really look the same, especially the lighting, but it's still quite satisfying 😊 #blender #b3d

For the third week of our homebrew art challenge, @kirkfzero.bsky.social set the prompt: redraw old art OR gender swap an old drawing I redrew the Kermit at the rainy beach... [https://mastodon.social/@Scio/114971499252186799] Decided to go with the flat […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

This traditional-style Japanese elementary school lies abandoned, hidden in the mountains. It is hard to say when it closed, perhaps in the 1970s, but it may have been used more recently. A beautiful haikyo (ruin), left frozen in time. #Haikyo #Abandoned #Japan […] [Original post on mstdn.social]

Continuing @kirkfzero.bsky.social and mine custom art challenge— My prompt for week 2 was "any character you want drawn like a tarot card OR as a cute animal." We both picked tarot for some reason, and very nearly picked the same card too :D Just couldn't […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

@kirkfzero.bsky.social and I decided to make our own art-challenge for June: Only ONE prompt a week for my slow and easily overwhelmed ass, and we took turns making them up, each week has two related options— Claire went with "a saved image on your phone/pc […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Meanwhile, questions derived from my recent dream: If you could fly really fast but still need to breathe normally and have your current level of adaptation to altitude sickness, could you actually navigate around the world without GPS? How fast could you go before suffocating? How high up […]

For several months now, we've been trying to draw a "mashup" fanart of the Elric brothers drawn in the style of the Hades portraits. Tonight we finished coloring it. We bit off more than we could chew and I kinda gave up on making it look Hades-y halfway […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

So, right now, if you load up Gemini Live and ask it to talk to you in, say, a Liverpudlian accent, it'll just reply to you that it can't do that _in_ a Liverpudlian accent. AIs, man. So uniquely useless...

Tonight we wanted to draw a quick fake linocut as practice for our actual t-shirt design plans. And @titanraj specifically wanted to draw dolphins. We don't know who the original photo is from, but it's a very common poster, apparently. #LiveYetVirtual #art […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Should there be a windchime synthesizer instrument? I don't mean a synth that makes windchime sounds, I'm sure those exist. I mean an instrument with the form factor of a windchime that produces synthesized sounds Reg the chimes ring out. It can have all those fun knobs that can shape the […]

I just beat Pokémon Lazarus — the utterly fantastic labor of love romhack that turns Emerald into a Gameboy Color styled completely original full length adventure, with most of the pokémon including new megas! Here's a grainy nighttime photo :fatpikachu:

Our final #pleinAirpril for 2026 is a rather striking composition shot by @snehasisnama at the Don Mueang airport. Botched most of the fun details this time. I'm blaming being a "whole" week out of practice, and trying to draw the hyper-compresed Discord […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

hello #portfolioday im carson, a cartoonist and illustrator, worked with of the most big publishers. always looking for more work, specifically comic/book covers or short one/two issue runs of comics.

Hello #portfolioday! The name's Krispy and I LOVE comics! I've been doing some lettering and colouring jobs, and am open to more! email: [email protected]

Tonight's virtual #pleinAirpril is a photo taken by @snehasisnama#pleinairprilof a aging but charming old house on a Kolkata street. ...Closest we're getting to a real plein-air sketch, I suppose! #art #mastoart #fediart #illustration #liveyetvirtual #krita #photostudy #urbansketching

I missed the chance to make a proper portfolio for yet another #PortfolioDay. But I'm going to try anyway! Hullo here, I'm Scio 👋 I am not actually a full-time illustrator, but love to draw in a variety of styles and enjoy the occasional commissions. I […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Third virtual #pleinAirpril is, I think, Moo Deng! I wasn't planning on adding much detail to the water from the start, and that helped a lot with maintaining energy levels. I still kinda feel like I should've, though, the water looks too plain... Finally […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Second photostudy for #pleinAirpril was Milou the dachshund, from: https://mastodon.social/@[email protected]/116339625985649221 Managed to not get overwhelmed by the grass and fur strands this time! Adorable doggo solves all problems! ...Good […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

I had such high hopes for our first #pleinAirpril going in. Instantly got overwhelmed with detail, and gave up on how I was planning to tackle them. Even kept the undersketch, then rushed to the end. Can't help but feel I didn't use to give in this easily a […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Why have we, as a civilization, not invented windchimes for ACs? Must I do everything around here?

@anish_saha No. But, it could be anyone's roof, right? Except the view from my roof looks not even a percent as cool as that sketch. All of the models from the 2021 pleinAirpril were photos taken by strangers on the internet.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@Scio/108230658025620700 Retooting my favorite year of #pleinAirpril pieces, where I had painted birds I had seen from a beach vacation. This is the timelapse of all nine pieces. Please see the thread for the individual studies, as I have just reuploaded the […]

We recently decided to paint a full-art pokémon card trying to emulate an artist of our choice. I picked Whisker, who only has two cards in Pokémon TCG Pocket, but they are utterly lovely! And then sinistcha picked me :D #art #MastoArt #FediArt […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

You know what. I think we should bring back bags of sand as the superior alternative to dumbbells for home workouts. ...And in turn, make really comfy soft squishy heavy bean-bags of various sizes; once the initial glut of "manly-man" gunmetal-leather weight bags become passé.

Today's dreams: 1. A D&D "battle royale", except instead of PvP it's solving NPC problems around a densely packed city 2. A "horror story" about a detached shadow seeking its long dead body. More sad than scary 3. Small-town slice-of-life where a youkai genius locus lives. A few of us can […]

@anish_saha Welcome to the Fediverse :fatpikachu:

When I need to run away from social interaction in my (lucid) dreams, I visit a mall that doesn't exist. It's the same place every time. Two storeys. Wide. Very liminal. Elevated walkways connecting different departments. Very few people. Aging signs. Long corridors reflecting distant daylight […]

Felt compelled to draw the best starter pokémon ever—in account of being the only dog starter! Turns out, I can't pose a pombon I've only seen from one angle. Oh well... #art #mastoart #fediart #illustration #krita #fanart #pokemon #pombon

Two earthquake shocks felt back to back around Kolkata at around 07:52 IST [UTC 07:52]. Android earthquake alert received for the first time since they were implemented. It claims the epicenter was Bangladesh, ~5 on the scale.

So uh I hear Flash/Animate users got one chance to being free from Adobe and immediately decided to dig themselves in deeper, I hear? Good good. I expect nothing else of this prized demographic.

Mild and short #earthquake felt at around 21:06 IST near Kolkata.

In today's dream, mostly forgotten by now, I was in the pokémon world. Somehow, humans have just learned how to teleport on their own, no teleportation pads or networks necessary. This has resulted in another mass deurbanization as humans have started living wherever they want, usually in more […]

All I want is to run KDE Plasma Mobile in a window on my Wayland desktop on NixOS so I can remote into it from my phone over Sunshine. Is that too much to ask?

I loved this, but the person who posted it had crappy alt text, so I'm re-posting.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Jingle Jam! We're officially LIVE for 2025! Donations open at 5 PM, but we're kicking off the day in the regular way - tree decorating! Join us now!

#earthquake felt around Kolkata India circa 10:09am IST, 21st November 2025

Doctors in China have used lab-grown insulin-producing cells to treat a woman with type 1 diabetes. The cells were made from her own tissue, reprogrammed into stem cells, and then grown into tiny clusters that release insulin. A year after the transplant, her blood sugar remains normal without […]

Drew something after a long while too. The #liveyetvirtual theme was 'Halloween-y snowman'. Thought I could make a sugar-skull snowman work at first, but couldn't. Oh well... Still well decorated, I suppose :] #art #mastoart #fediart #illustration #krita

It's been a long time since I've posted anything, eh? I finished Hades II tonight. Normally I'd put it off until I thought I felt better, so I guess I am?
