I really hate it when trusted websites suddenly become trojan horses to take your work and data and feed it into AI.

Every now and again I think about how much I'd like to be able to make music somehow, weather by an instrument or through a daw or something, however I just don't believe I've got the means to do it. Part of it come from the belief that there is a large knowledge hurdle to get through first...

Decided to make an updated version of the flyer for the card game project I'm working on. still interested in getting some additional support on the venture.

Finished another illustration for the card game I'm working on. an inflatable Kendoka weasel/badger/squirrel thing.

Been working on some finalized card illustrations for cards within balloonomancy. been deciding to embrace my usual textured marker-esque style of rendering.

Had a sudden realization about the Legend of Zelda when watching some rom hack gameplay. Isn't it weird how bombs are like, a totally normal thing that people can buy in the universe? And it's not even something that gets glossed over either...

Was talking to a friend about the piece I recently reposted, and made mention of the fact I once drew an idea for a Floatzel/Lugia cross myself a few years ago, although it was more wide than tall. This was made during a period where I was in a strong lugia mood.

Someone said Draw Floatzel, someone said Draw Lugia, I couldn’t pick

Had a mild spat with family that got me anxious about the future of AI video content. They were watching these time lapse construction videos that were obviously ai and I pointed them out over things appearing out of nowhere during the process...

so apparently over on twitter, someone pulled this social experiment where they took a crop of a Claude Monet painting and framed it as though he AI generated it and asked people why they saw it as inferior, and people scrutinized the painting heavily until he later revealed it was human made...

So here's some lost media for you guys, I recall an old pair of flash animations called "HEvil" one and two, and they were about a sentient helium tank that used to serve an important role in his household before being retired by new technology and seeks revenge for it...

So I've been thinking about the whole red button Blue button moral dilemma more and I realized that it actually correlates pretty well to some meaningful real life example, those being efforts to unionize or organize politically, let me elaborate...

It can be fun to analyze weird Ludonarrative outcomes within game rules, like how in MTG, it apparently only takes 4 lion's worth of magic material to end the fucking world! For game design it makes sense, but you'd think something like that would take more power than conjuring a quartet of lions.

So I've been busy working on the beta delivery mediums for the first 2 starter decks on Tabletop simulator, where in each set you get a tuckbox that produces an infinite supply of that deck, dice to use as inflate tokens, and a quick start guide to learn how to play the game.

Commissions for bsky.app/profile/gaht... of his orca character Thanal. They're a cybernetically modified giant orca. (It's labelled 'suggestive' because if I don't, the site does it automatically to all my image posts.)

So I've been hip on the whole red/blue button discourse, and it's interesting how people say it's a simple choice but the reality that unfolds is that it's a lot more complicated of a moral dilemma than people want to say it is...

#furryinflation Anyone remember the absolutely ancient pic by Pokeflation entitled "R\ayquaza Stops The Fight"? Felt the urge to do a 3D remake of that scene as tribute to one of my earliest memories of Very Round 'Mons.

So I just so happened to get an interview lined up for a sandwich shop that I saw was hiring before and decided to inquire on. Now a part of me wants to not get my hopes up on this as I've seen this pattern before, but you know... It feels good to have hope when there's a reason to...

I think I want to die, I don't know yet though, but what does life even have to offer that's worthwhile, that won't just get taken away in due time? Maybe I need to occupy my mind, but I think I'll inevitably just come back to this again. I just don't know.

I can't seem to fall asleep tonight, I've lost hope for the future and don't want tomorrow to come, each day brings me closer to inevitable losses as I fall farther and farther behind financially, each day the price for existence increases, each day things obviously get worse.

After getting a job only to be laid off in less that a week has finally brought me to a point of despair, I just don't believe there is anything I can do now, but carry on until the few things I have get taken away from me, my car, my home, eventually my life by one way or another...

A parallax experiment I've been messing around with lately. This is running in the browser and moves with your cursor

Happy Birthday @vosdugolva.bsky.social!

So my birthday is tomorrow! don't have any plans for it yet but I'll figure it out in time!

How I’ve Been Pronouncing It (Feat. Foghorn Leghorn, my… roommate?)

Super Heavy Songkran festival A super late Water festival art. That's what you get when you have too many projects. #Songkran #SongkranFestival #WaterFestival #Crocodile #Dragon #Beetle #Mecha #SuperSoaker #Anthropomorphic

First Discipline Armor from the current Event, commissioned by @likeapierrot.bsky.social This Digimental features a military/warfare theme so they all gonna look like they're part of the D-Brigade X,D art/designs by me, @strikeyoko.bsky.social #digimon #commission

Been wanting to try this again, For every like this post get's I'll reply with a post sharing some recent sketches, doodles, and illustrations along with some context behind them. Most will be related to my game project as that's where most of my drawing efforts have been lately.

So @kronogarrett.bsky.social and @rushsupern.bsky.social did a thing with @lostlands.bsky.social Kaiju OC, and I was in the mood so I did a quick and dirty rendering of him as a balloon in my card game, albeit not as wide. He won't actually be in the game, this was just a creative exercise.

@lostlands.bsky.social ’s Eternadon and some of the small lizards drawn in my style, as an oversized ride-on toy and some novelties, at @rushsupern.bsky.social ‘s insistence. An even chonkier version of the existing lizard and dinosaur bases. #inflatable #kaiju #reptile #macromarch #furryart #wip

please, help out my gentle giant friend

So I saw this hero wars ad on Tv tropes, and I must say, it's surprisingly progressive given that they decided to put all the treasure in her head instead of her boobs and ass. Though I wonder what statement is being made by putting deadly lava in her thighs...

After some comments on the discord for my card game, I've been fooling around with the idea of a strategy game based on the same balloon dodgeball premise of the card game. Dunno if I'm going anywhere with this but it's fun to experiment with and make the inflatable balloon standees.

Okay so an age old question just came back to me... can someone tell me where this expression came from? and why it shows up in Japanese media so often? like, do people do that with their mouths? where did this come from? does it even have a name?

A trade with @frengers.toys!

I dunno, I'm kinda glad to have this revelation that all this time, Metal coat was a metallic cream you lathered on your mantis or giant rock snake. until now I thought it was just a weird cylindrical hunk of pure steel with an indent on the side.

After 9 yeareals, it's finally my turn to post the "a thousand cereals" clip, seeing as how I'm the idiot who made it.

Ultimately though, my capacity for bad news has been thoroughly sated by everything else. Now, I just want to be hopeful and optimistic about the future of the Pokemon franchise.

also, I'm honestly kinda interested in Pokémon champions being on mobile as well as on switch. for what we think will be a battle simulator, that would make it very accessible to get people on board as it now has a much lower cost of entry...

So with the release of new starters comes another few months of folks bemoaning the chance that they (or lets be real here, the dog specifically) becomes a biped. I find it annoying because it's a very arbitrary and ill defined stance that never really lasts after the forms are revealed...

Interesting thing to think about is imagining how anthros cope with vestigial instinctual behavior, we've got many of them too as humans and I've seen stuff about exotic animals in captivity having hardwired behaviors, like young beavers creating little blockades in hallways...

we've been steadily working on card art for this game, some more complete than others but the ultimate goal is to get something on each card, we can refine it down the road. Wanted to share a collage of some of the card images we've done thus far. it's fun to see a variety of styles on display.

Wanted to share some of the amazing work Halcifer has done in our card game so far. In Ballonomancy you can use magic run stickers to make your balloons even more swole than normal! that's one of the tactics green players like to employ, as their strategy is to get big and win big!

So the group and I put together a flyer for the card game project to share in the hopes of drawing up interest in it. it's a tad crude but it does it's job. wanted to share it here.

So in learning about Journey to the west, I've learned that apparently that's where most if not all anime nonsense comes from. No wonder it get's referenced so often! Also it's got a lot of beef with Taoism it seems, granted I think it's partially supposed to be Buddhist propaganda.

Wukong's been on my mind mainly because I've been doing some study on Chinese myth and legend, starting with journey to the west. part of it is gathering inspiration for something, part of it is also just so I can finally know about the series that get's reference all the time in media.

I mentioned this a year ago but I still feel kind of weird about wukong being in metazoo, but I also don't have a strong argument for why he shouldn't be in here. It seems like the reboot expands into creatures of myth and legends and not explicitly cryptids...

Okay so I just cracked this open and I really want to share it because the art is absolutely fire and the artist really cooked with this! This is the type of art I love in tcgs, where the environment is as important as the subject of the card
