Artist struggles

I'm over on patreon, talking about my current progress on my first video essay.

Popping up from my hidey hole to throw my hat into the #GenieDTIYS challenge by @vgen.co in between working on some 🎼Secret Projects🎼

If you're a little more Spring-minded as the seasons change I also still have the flower YCHs up and available!

Some examples of the YCHs in practice using my wonderful OC mascots Melody and Din! #art #commissions #comms #YCH

Back at it again with more #YCH #commissions! It's Winter Weather themed! If you like #art, your own OCs, snow, or supporting an artist trying to get her feet back under her, check out my ko-fi! ko-fi.com/c/9410f29cb6

Oh hey that’s me! 😮 Come hang out with me and Neon and talk ttrpgs like the Old Timers we are 🎲

Need I say more?

I cannot stress this enough: this is not possible in a literal technological sense: you cannot train an AI and expect even comprehensible results with under ~1 million pieces of data, nobody can supply all that with the variance needed. You can only achieve it through wanton scraping

Going into 2026, a reminder for everyone who's fallen off the creative wagon, game dev, writing, art, music, whatever, no matter how long:

Share your knowledge if/when you can. Teaching other people how to do what you do doesn’t lessen your art - it just means more and better art for everyone. I appreciate when people are willing to tell me about their brushes, how they study, etc… I want to put that back out into the world.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

genuinely disappointed in how many people have bought into the "it's here to stay so I might as well use it" line of thinking with LLMs/agents

Listen to me. Listen. If you're making images that will only be displayed on screens, YOU HAVE TO LET GO. You can calibrate your screens perfectly, but then 25k people will see it on their shitty $50 monitors or cracked phone and its out of your hands. Don't think of it. Achieve enlightenment.

Some examples of both the final pieces and the optional add-on option of a custom gradient flat as well! #art #commissions #comms #YCH (big thank you to @seabunnysiren.bsky.social and @neonsaline.com for lending me their beautiful TTRP OCs for the examples 💕)

Hey so I am officially moving in just a little under 2 months!! In an effort to help cover some expenses and also like food and stuff I'm trying out my first #YCH #commissions! It's flower themed! If you like #art, your own OCs, flowers, or helping out, check out my ko-fi! ko-fi.com/c/7d0150d921

I do not answer messages that just say "Hi!" I don't know if it's a scam and even if I suspect it isn't spam, not knowing what a conversation is going to be about gives me A LOT of anxiety both because of the experiences I've had and because of my autism- having a script ahead of time gives me calm

If you need art, I got what you need!

The cover for #PΔNÐΘRΔ 's new single performed live for its first release at her Debut Concert...eventually #art #OCs

Comparison in designs between #PΔNÐΘRΔ 's first design (in-universe) and live debut appearance #art #OCs

Third and most recent iteration of the PITHOS Radio smart device set to debut along with #PΔNÐΘRΔ 's new synthetic body #art

With the release of the PITHOS 3 things get messy with #PΔNÐΘRΔ the huge concert promised would secretly debut the fact that they made a synthetic human body with the newest variation on her coding, keeping her personality and programming, but it all went wrong #OCs #art

✨I hope we all make it ✨

📌are you into short sapphic stories for $1? boy howdy then im the bear for you www.alsoabear.com/category/all...

Rest in Peace to the man who wrote my childhood lullabies, may his memory be a blessing 😔 www.npr.org/2025/07/27/8...

Porn and art with sexual themes deserve to exist on their own merit, not because censoring them has knock-on effects for non-sexual content. Please stop expressing outrage by implying that censorship would be okay if it *just* affected sex workers and artists engaging with sexual themes.

#PΔNÐΘRΔ developed a strong fan following, a pop star in her own right. Hades started to develop original music for her to sing on request (Exclusively streaming on Pithos Radio smart devices!)Singles became an album, music videos, digital dance tutorials, Hologram Concerts! #art #OCs #Cyberpunk

PΔNÐΘRΔ got SUPER popular leading to Hades investing in upgrading her along with the radio technology She became part of the smart device, a responsive personality used to interface with the device With Pithos 2.0 they added a synthetic singing voice to sing covers of popular songs

Y'all seemed to like that so have some old #art: Some of #PΔNÐΘRΔ 's early designs in-universe. Originally, she wasn't a person at all in any sense of the word; just a mascot for an app and eventually smart device called PITHOS Radio, developed by Hades Corporation #OCs #Cyperpunk

Hey so like, what if I posted about my #cyberpunk dystopian not-a-robot artificial pop-star, #PΔNÐΘRΔ, from an old LARP game I used to play in? Just my silly goofy idol in a supernatural dystopian world who nothing bad ever happens to not never...Look how cute she is! #art #OCs

... I...hm..I'm not sure now to feel about this...Hm...

You want to know how to get some job security in this volatile industry? This is how. This right here. When you're in a union, if you get laid off, your layoff is NEGOTIATED, not just dropped on you as a traumatic event you have zero control over.

Update! I got the rest of my tooth financed but now have $5k of dental debt 😭 So the gfm is staying up and my commissions are VERY OPEN

I haven't even seen KPOP Demon Hunters yet but it is already causing a chain reaction in my brain gremlins...dredging up an old OC....stay tuned, maybe

Two of the older designs I've made that are also in my #teezr and #redbubble storefronts! #merch #tshirts #stickers #DragonAge #Bioware #VideoGames #ChangelingTheLost #FaeCourts #ChroniclesOfDarkness #Changeling

A handful of the new designs I've featured on my #Teezr and #Redbubble! I'm honestly pretty proud of how these have turned out #merch #tshirts #stickers #GreekMyth #Orpheism #FFXIV #Dancer #Shakespeare #MidsummerNightsDream
