I played through Look Outside finally. I'd had my eye on it for a while. Ho-ly shit. That is one of the best horror game experiences I've ever had. I absolutely loved everything from start to finish. It's so gross and beautiful and weird and inhuman and human. It's *ridiculously* good.

Next we have The Racing Boat Oremon: Dracoboat! You can find them swimming along the river running through Roselandia, often with passengers riding along. 🖊️ #fakemon #creaturedesign #oregon #oremon #dragonboat #boat

Job hunting hell time, wish me luck! (I'm still employed, I just... need a change at this point, for my own sanity.)

Getting my beloved oc Phantosme a new coat of paint! She needed to be a little more eldritch looking. Don't worry she's still got a mouth, it's just freakier :> #BrArt #Ocsky

Incredibly late to the party, but I'm finally playing Hades, and this shit rules. Combat's fun as hell, soundtrack's full of bangers, adore the art style, and the characterization of the gods + the dialogue is so good. Man I love a good roguelike

My biggest holiday related peeve actually isn't people decorating for Christmas super early, or boring overplayed Christmas music covers. It's when people use "Zombie" by The Cranberries as a Halloween song

My next project's pre-launch page is live! "OREMON: Professor Mahonia's Guide to the Roselandia Region," is a Pokemon-inspired field guide to northwest Oregon, populated by creatures we call Oremon. www.kickstarter.com/projects/dia... #fakemon #pokemon #oregon #creaturedesign #selfpublishing

Had a big car scare earlier today that I thought was gonna be the kind of thing only a dealership could fix (anti-theft features being fucking goofy with me and not wanting to start because it didn't like my key anymore) but miraculously managed to get it resolved with a home fix... so relieved.

Buncha development art where I'm doing final design tweaks and getting used to drawing them. The smug guy in his PJs is Machil and the bad man in the last image is King Stratus. I think I'm finally getting out of my creative rut? 🌲

Having semi-frequent panic attacks + hypochondria is FUCKED man. I'll feel myself go short of breath or my heart rate get really high, and know it's most likely a panic attack starting. But then I think "no what if I'm dying for real. heart attack". As you can imagine, this doesn't help the panic,

Zyra Slash update day! 🦎🦎🦎 #zyraslash #webcomic 🏠 zyraslash.com#ch2recenter 💬 zyraslash.webcomic.ws/comics/142

this guy seems trustworthy and not dangerous at all #oc #originalcharacter #art

If I've seemed quiet or "off" to anyone lately I apologize- I've been forgetting how to be a person and my mental health has been very bad. It's been slowly building up for the past [???] months, and has been coming to a head lately. I'm having a hard time and I'm not alright. That's all.

the two main characters of my book, Benny and Jared! they're both very normal and functional people and nothing bad happens at all #oc #originalart #art

Car broke down, repairs will be expensive. Offering Ko-fi commissions with the quickest turnarounds (crayon, creature, fakemon). Sales from Etsy help too. I draw a lot of different things, so if you'd like something else, feel free to DM. Etsy: diantimony.etsy.com Ko-fi: ko-fi.com/dianeramic

a work in progress. something related to the book i've been writing #art #animation

"Got any AriZona iced tea?" 🌙💫 So what was originally just supposed to be a pattern test turned into this little purple freak instead. Now she's going to eat all my lactaid while i'm gone at work #mlp #plush #sewing

Zyra Slash update day! 🦎🦎🦎 #zyraslash #webcomic 🏠 zyraslash.com#ch2recenter 💬 zyraslash.webcomic.ws/comics/136

I played Content Warning with a friend again the other day, and it's still a really fun game even though the devs abandoned it. (And even though I wish they hadn't- or that they'd have at least done a final stability update or something.) But damn yeah I still love this game. It's so silly.

Hey, if you can, please help my friend out! She offers commissions and sells cool stuff on Etsy- there's pins and keychains, art prints, magnets, and more! I recommend checking out the pride dragon pins and the monster skeleton keychains particularly! The bird magnets are also nice! :]

Tried listening to music at work again (it's allowed) to see if it'd make me feel less awful during these long weekend shifts and... huh. It does feel a lot nicer to listen to music at work again. I haven't done this in like a year. Maybe that's why these shifts have been so hard on my brain lately.

Arctos's new design refs are DONE. Look at this guy 🌲

I don't know if I should try to ramble about my creative work more often here or not. It used to be really easy for me to just talk about my work, but it's a lot harder these days. I'm just so self-critical and I guess I don't feel like it's worth talking about, even if I have the urge to.

I'm so close to finishing this ref sheet (it's actually 3 sheets because putting all of this into one would be too cluttered). I'm giving some characters final design changes for my project and really trying to nail down the designs exactly as I want them before I really get into it. So close.

KNIGHTS OF GUINEVERE LOOKS FUCKING AWESOME

Gosh, I love the wave of casual silly co-op games we've been getting over the last few years, like Lethal Company, REPO, Content Warning, PEAK, etc. It's so refreshing to have more short form and less "serious" games to play with friends. Especially since I'm not a competitive person.

Guy who understands absolutely zero modern day slang

some space funeral stickers! the colors turned out a little fjshfj but still like how they turned out 🥺🥺 will probably throw them onto future sketchbooks!

Not everyone can say they've suddenly puked at exactly 8:30 in the morning two Tuesdays in a row, can they?

I always liked TADC from the start, but the recent episodes made me go from "I think it's pretty neat!" to a frothing at the mouth type of obsession. Give me messy characters with glaring flaws and horrible coping methods and I will latch on like a tick. The writing has shone very brightly lately.

You ever feel so annoyed but the annoying situation is so context-heavy and convoluted you can't even bitch about it in any coherent way

don't hate him for what he's done, hate him for what he's about to do #oc #originalcharacter #art

redraw of an image i really enjoy fjdhfh #oc #art

someday i promise i will draw serious space funeral fanart fmshfj #spacefuneral

OFF is a game so near and dear to my heart. I'm super excited to play the remaster. I love the soundtrack of the original lots, but I'm also looking forward to the new music!

btw, a huge project I got done in July was this Build-a-Bear style teddy of Zyra! Feat. custom clothes, weighted feet/body and a secret zipper in his back for trinkets or scent packs! #zyraslash #sewing #plush

MARCO'S. MARCO'S PLEASE. MARCO'S

Dude crows are so cool to be buddies with. You ever just go outside to immediately be greeted by a discordant chorus of caws and then see several moderately sized birds fly STRAIGHT at you from a distance like little black jets to perch up all around you? It's fucking awesome

[🌙] who I used to be for mawchops #art #illustration #lizard #anthro

I used to be a hardcore night owl, but I turned into a morning person at some point. I automatically wake up decently early even on my days off, and I almost never go to bed past midnight anymore. I kind of like this for myself. So much time to get errands done AND still have fun during the day!

Happy 10th anniversary Hylics! #hylics

after Thursday i'm at risk of losing my home.

nowhere 🌲

How the hell does one quell the mind numbingly obnoxious voices of perfectionism and self-doubt when it comes to their creative work? How do people do this? Confidence issues are like the most demotivating thing ever and I wish this wasn't as much of an issue to me as it is.

Fried modem replaced yesterday, internet service just restored now! I normally don't get internet outages this long. Wonder what the hell that storm the other night broke out there
