Super fun reminder that you should be changing your furnace filter at LEAST every 6 months. Cause when it gets clogged, it blocks airflow. Blocked airflow makes your furnace work extra hard. Furnace working extra hard puts stress on it. Stress on it breaks it. Broken? No heat at 3am.

As a 'congrats you're old enough to start pulling your weight around here' gift, Rassa's culture would gift kids a colt to raise & train - creating an essential lifelong bond. This is how he came to meet Saliq 🥰 'Lifelong' wasn't intended to be eternally - but hey bond is bond #Dunia #OCs

Akat HQ is in full cozy mode~ My work changed the daily morning meetings to 3 afternoon checkins and I can start the day without the dreaded BIG light ✨️ Just the slooooww sunrise of fall...and terrarium lamps 🦎 I loove my office 🥰

MAN folks can judge but I always give extra goodies to teens who dress up and go trick or treating Keep the fun going 👏 Gave trick or treaters the choice this year between chocolate and pokemon cards - older kids all chose the cards lol and some promised to come back if any were worth a ton 🤣

I love seeing everyone all excited about the new Pokemon game, and I am so tempted to try it but it's been like 99% cityscape from what I've seen and those just booorre me so much Is that all it is?? Or is that just what everyone has been taking screenshots/videos of LOL

Last one of the day - for Vespur! A pagedoll puffing a lil cosmic space into the world 🌟 #PixelArt #Commissions

Last one for @orielyn.bsky.social :3c a little more of a surprise one since her Snaptrap was moontouched! I haven't done a transformation pixel in a long while and snaptraps are ALWAYS my favourite to doooo~ <3 #PixelArt #Commissions #Snaptraps

More for @orielyn.bsky.social 🥺 her sweet kitties Gremlin & Banshee, then chihuahua royalty herself- Skeeter lol Honestly, I'd love to do more pet pixels?? So under rated and so much fun. I already started sketching my own lol #PixelArt #Pets #Commissions

Next up, this amazing design for @orielyn.bsky.social * v* #PixelArt #Commissions

My commissions list is finally clear! Incoming finished kiddos ^^ I will be taking a break for a little while as work has started to kick up more and I'd like to get some needle felting in <33 First up, a handful of equines for Hey-stardust #Pixels #Commissions

Taking a quick break to get some photoshoots in! 😂 Totally normal weekend activities. Getting back into my product photography routes for my #isopods- but with a little more wrangling and patiently waiting for balls to unball ☺️ Edited pics coming up on @pixelpods.ca !

New kids new kids new kids! Building up my lil pod army 💖

What a sassy little pod 😅 Id fight springtails for my snacks too tho #isopods #powderOrange

I cannot stress enough how much naming your ranges when working with a spreadsheet will save your life. It feels tedious, but it will help with any formulas / analytics you need to do later. I PROMISE YOU Select Range > Data > Named Ranges

guess who forgot her adhd meds this morning because she took the wrong day container yesterday :D side quest day to keep the overtstims at bay~

Finally starting to feel better :') Should be back to my last couple pixels by tomorrow! Still just working on the art of "sitting upright and focusing without getting woozy" lol

Nothing like nyquil to turn the dream dial up to 11 On the plus side, it gave me great inspiration for the main driver of the DnD campaign I'm writing =w= taking a couple old character concepts of mine and merging them, now adding a dash of nightmare for good measure~ its perfect

Pros of WFH - pj's, cat snuggles, zero commute Cons of WFH - even when your head feels like it's 30lbs you feel compelled to work cause...aforementioned pjs So rest of the evening will be horizontal o|-<

I blame a portion of comm delays on my clingy needy baby boy~ Between him and Mudge my desk is almost always blocked in someway lol #CatFam #Goose

Incoming pixels! Finished bundle order for @wanderingwastes.bsky.social 🙌 I'm really enjoying the freeform style of pagedolls~ I had a lot of fun figuring out the flicks and squishy look to this guy :3c #PixelArt #Commissions

A quick lil warmup to get the shakies out before comms * v* 🖤 Pich 🖤 New kiddo~ They're another little fox follower/companion for Su <3 #Doodles

Did you know? Crickets chirp for a variety of reasons! Including attracting a mate, at certain temperatures, and when they're in a room with someone so overstimulated and stressed they want to freeze the world solid just for a moment of silence 😃🌈🌠

[Commission] A baby for @daedricki.bsky.social [ #art #furry #furryart #anthro #dinosaur ]

Work has buggered my brain up so bad I thought we were halfway through the week already OTL it's Tuesday I'm done with ROIs and CPLs and CACs and CPCs... the only letter combination I want to deal with right now is PX. Specifically of the bouncy creature variety.

Spontaneous Royal Tyrrell trip!! 🦕🦖🦕🦖🦕🦖🦕🦖🦕🦖 We usually go a few times a year but havent since February 😔 And we found out my father-in-law hasn't been in over a decade, so we all overdue

Back to sketchiiinnnggg~ 🌈 Messy scribbles turn into cleaner pixels I can't explain it Is just how it is =w=

Another! 100x100 icons for Karaj~ Sort of matchy match #Commission #PixelArt

Another pixel complete, this time for @ottermeal.bsky.social ! Such a cool character with wonderful colours * v* Another one with a lot of moving bits but I am feeling far more confident in the little animation pieces <33 #PixelArt #Commission

Past couple days I've been working nights getting stats together for a big presentation I had this morning I am VERY TIRED and very much so looking forward to doing arts after work instead of work after work OTL it went well though so thats a plus!

Pair of 100x100 pixels for @ihumblegoat.bsky.social ! I will never not love my traditional bouncy icons ;;v;; forever my favourite <33 #Pixelart #Commissions #Pixelicon

Page doll comm for @inkybiird.bsky.social ! Such cool characters, they were great to work on and get my head around the pagedoll process *v* #Pagedoll #Commission #PixelArt

Best part about a new commission type is realizing the same workflow for my usual stuff doesn't apply 👀💦 Things are a bit slower - I redid this first pagedoll pair because it just didn't match the standard I wanted - but I have a system figured that's going to work better <3

I haven't introduced our new #Gecko here! Say hello to Silvers Rayleigh! aka Dark King, aka Gargy, aka Ghost 👻 I've been wanting a Gargoyle Gecko for a long time, and the BIG Calgary Reptile Expo was the perfect place to find one The breeder even had his parents there, so we saw his future lol

I was TRYING to go to bed about an hour ago...but my new #isopod colony bins needed labels and my label maker could not be denied So here I am, 11:00pm slapping silly labels on bins of bugs so my brain will let me sleep 🥱

Kirby air riders looks fun, look at that little guy go !!

Felt that sigh in my soul lmao I'm so excited for Kirby Air Riders <333 It's going to be a much easier entry into racing games for my lil niece too, who always forgets to hold the ignition button 😂

"Hey Akat what do you do for work?" Digital Marketing! A lot of social media and posting and proofreading :D "Cool....how many times did you have to post and repost your commissions cause it had stupid little errors? " . _ . a lot

Guess I'm buying more zucchini lol Put this top in yesterday, unpeeled and this morning they had it just about gone. So happy to see so many babies of different sizes. All having the meal of their lives lol 😍 #isopods

For a friend's birthday we got together and made ugly statues, because she loves creepy lil guys This is mine <3 just a globby blobby thing She has named him Frank. His eyes follow you :) And there's a surprise inside... we'll see how long her curiosity lasts before he gets smashed for it lol

Last one, couldn't let the year of Team Fossil pass without doing a dinosaur, here is @akatix.ca's Sinno!

What art sites are people using these days? I was fixing up my personal site and got all nostalgic for having a central gallery OTL

Another artfight attack! This one for Paleopunk of their dino Slyven, such cute colours!! #Dinos #ArtFight2025 #Doodles

You know that feeling when you draw something that makes you giggle the entire time you're working on it? That was this. Made my whole damn day LOL Attack for jillybean711 of their raptor Decaf! The most precious creature XD #ArtFight2025 #PixelArt

Once upon a time, we looked at Mudge compared to others and called him the biggest baby boy... and now there is Goose. The 'orange tabby males get big' warning our Vet gave us is becoming too real too fast lol He's 10 months old and still has growing time left. Kitten size LORGE #CatFam

Somehow I ended up with 2 needle felt pet memorial commissions, so I'm going to finish up my last couple art fight attacks then dive away into commissions ;v;/ I will absolutely want to take on some character felts again after these though!

🗣️📢💥 I AM TIRED OF SUMMER I WOULD LIKE THE WINTER BACK. IMMEDIATELY. PLEASE.

Selling this cute lil Stego design! ☀️ I designed them for myself but won't likely use them~ I also have a lil Dilo design I did with them I'll post in a bit :> Looking for $25 min, but anything over $40 I'll throw in a pixel as well <3 ☀️💧☀️💧☀️💧☀️💧☀️ #Adopt #Design #Stego #CharacterSale

Happy lil Spino revenge for Anokhi! They did a lil headshot of my raptor Pidge <333 #Dinos #ArtFight2025 #Spino
