I made a Patreon! There isn't a lot on it just yet, but feel free to swing on by if you feel like supporting my work! 💜 www.patreon.com/cw/Vespertin... It's got... - Discord server - WIPs - Alternate art!

I may consider switching programs, and remaking the Para-Phoria PDF in something else, but it's a little bit daunting... I wonder if I can find a chain of increasingly obtuse export, convert, and import options to just bring the file over directly without having to redo everything...

The news about Affinity Suite being switched out from a freemium data-harvesting AI program sucks honestly... Thankfully- I have a highly specific personality disorder where I compulsively decline to update programs, so I'm (probably) relatively safe for the time being!

@legaleagle.tv I don't know if you use the Affinity Suite at your office, but I'd be curious to hear what you make of their new user agreement. It sounds (to an unprofessional ear) like it gives them the ability to enter user's offices and mess with their computers. www.reddit.com/r/AffinityPh...

Oh hey, the thing everyone using Affinity Photo screamed about and said would happen when Canva bought it has actually happened and has now been enshittified. Looks like I am never going to upgrade from Affinity 2.6.5 ever. Don't get version 3 unless you want Canva to steal your art for AI shit.

I have a poll for everyone! Should I- 1. Flesh out the biopunk class with art and lore. (Easy mode!) 2. Start on the storyteller manual, and throw together some sick monster designs! (Hard mode) 3. Finish this illustration of the city! (Extra-hard mode, but reeaally fun!)

My metamour's learning to draw, and she's absolutely kill'n it!!! Look how cute this is! x3

Alright! This is gonna be one HEFTY update! -114 new and reworked parasite abilities! -48 (small) stat-blocks! -1 new strain! -1 new demeanor! -A complete rework of every class and strain! -Parasite lore! -And even PROOF-READING! Have a happy Halloween~! vespertineantess.itch.io/para-phoria-...

Aaaand now the lore is done! I have 3 more example characters to make, and I'll see how many of those I can get done before the end of the month! This is going to be a biiiiiiiiiiiiig update! As of writing, there are around 112 new and reworked abilities in it!

This is from last Halloween!! But I forgot to upload it here, so- close enough! Happy Halloween!!

You could say that I've finally gotten a handle on fire! This little strap justifies the years I've spent hoarding crafting supplies. Our living space might be filled with unused cloth bolts and wooden beads, but I'm sure that nothing bad will happen when I introduce candlelight into the mix! #DIY

Aaand feeling sick has caused a bit of a delay, but I'm doing my best to get it out before the end of the month. At least the new rules/abilities are done now! The only thing I'm held up on is lore! If I really need to, I could release it in its unfinished form right now, & polish it up later.

I just realized, a lot of my cy-drone stuff was pre-bluesky, and I don't think I've ever posted them here... here's a sketch I did last year! The Mechano-Maia CEO is showing off her latest models!

And now I feel kinda sick-ish for some reason... bleh...

It looks like I'm sticking to this schedule pretty well! And I've been chatting @ceciliacherrybyte.bsky.social 's ears off about some new abilities I have planned! :3

I've had 2 proofreaders, 3 play testers, and dozens of readers- AND SOMEHOW NOBODY CAUGHT THIS

Aaaand there! Finished! I thought that my Vampire The Masquerade character needed a bigger ref! I wanted to knock this out quickly before I return to working on my own game. Which, I'm making good progress on! You'll see that in 1-4 weeks! 💜 #vtm #tzimisce #oc #gore

It continues!! But my fingers are give'n out so I have to pause it here! x3

For anyone who is interested in Para-phoria, I'll try to have the progression rework out either late this month or mid next month. The schedule that I've been holding myself to has been to make updates at least once per month.

Here's peak at one of my WIPs! It's Delia! My Tzimisce character!

Comm for Pommies and their anonymous gal pal!! I can't take credit for the rubbery outfit designs, tho, they're Second Life avatars! I'll credit the SL creators in the replies! (But I also gotta credit the adorable anon for designing those logos too! I just followed the screenshots they gave me!) 💜

I thought I should illustrate what cy-drones look like on the inside! Somewhere along the line, it transformed into a "right to repair" political statement for cyborgs... #art #nsfw #cyberpunk #latex #rubber #drone Now I've gotta go! I need to give my hand a rest before I need my own repairs. xD

Calling it here. Option 1 got 2 votes. Option 2 got 9 votes! Looks like I've gotta plan that overhaul!

And here's a version with just the artwork! For people that don't want to read through TTRPG nerdiness! 💜

Got a little art update for ya- IT'S THE STYGIANS! I have bigger plans coming soon, including a rework for ALL parasite abilities, but I wanted to get this out first before I dive into that! You can grab the PDF here! It's free! vespertineantess.itch.io/para-phoria-... #TTRPG #Latex #Rubber #TF

I sketched something on my phone while I was in the doctor's office. It's a tribute to BLAME! and H.R. Giger's "Shafts" paintings! (It's the best I could do on a tiny screen without pen pressure.)

You have a chance to influence the future of my weird little parasite TTRPG! I want your feedback, and- I have a poll! Vote by commenting with a number! 1. Keep the old system. 2. Try the new system. 3. No opinion. 4. You have your own ideas! (Write them below)

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

I feel like this WIP is going places... 0/////0 What do ya'll think?

I think, I want to pause my city cross-section for just a moment- because I want to do the art for the Stygian strain! We need some more rubber goop around here! 💜

I'm almost done with the line art!! ALMOST done!! This background is so huge... and I haven't even started coloring yet!! I'll include some close up shots so you can see the tinier details a bit better! #art #nsfw #cyberpunk #drone

Alright! Major update for Para-phoria! vespertineantess.itch.io/para-phoria-... It's got: -A new character sheet -New armor mechanics, -A rework for everyone's favorite rubbery parasite strain -And more! Check it out, if you like TTRPGs, alien parasites, & rampant kink! It's all free! 💜

I'm in a bad mental state at the moment. I'll get back into the swing of things shortly, and jump back into drawing. I hope you all are doing well in your own struggles! 💜

I just realized I said "hazing" instead of "having." Not to self diagnose, but I think my case of 2008 leet speak is fucking terminal at this point. xD

I hate hazing to repost political stuff when everybody is only here for the porn n' stuff, but if this passes; there will never be any porn. At least, not legally.

This is another reupload from 2 years ago! I wonder if I should redraw it... it feels like its missing something.

There! I updated Para-Phoria to include a few illustrations. That's three drawings down, and something like- 40 left to do! If anyone wants to check it out, you can find it over here! (Buuut it's still unfinished right now.) vespertineantess.itch.io/para-phoria-...

I've already emailed @itch.io support to tell them how I feel about all this. You all should, too. And while you're at it, sign the ACLU's petition to get Mastercard to change its terrible sex work policies. action.aclu.org/petition/mas...

Let’s change gears. Do some good Sign this. Make it go viral. Protect sex workers. End payment processor discrimination action.aclu.org/petition/mas...

ok then. one angle of attack then needs to be actively bombarding Visa and Mastercard's phone numbers and emails. are customer support phone numbers/emails the best avenue to start with or is there a better option?

There might actually be a way around this... why not change our terminology instead? "NSFW" is just slang, & slang is subject to change. Besides, it's not in Itch's rules to ban NSFW content, so we are within our right to adapt. But! What slang could we use...? I vote "NSFI" "Not Safe For Itch."

I made another VtM character! Milly doesn't get out much! Or rather- she does, but not around people! She lives a solitary life out in the woods, avoiding kindred & kine alike. Instead; she fulfills her social needs through the animals, the trees, & of course... the voices!

Hey guys, so remember how I wrote about the four stages of how P25 and Republicans want to enact anti-trans censorship? This signals that we have FULLY entered Stage Two: We lose the trans internet. Stage One is over - they've already gotten there. Please pay attention to this now.

I'm fucking exhausted from Pride! But, I feel photogenic today. Feel yourselves lucky to witness my FACE. :3

@vaspider.gay Thankyou for the patches! I wanted to ask something- what was it like working for Onyx Path? (I saw it mentioned in the About Us page!)

I found some cool stuff at a pride event :3

Another update! I added a few characters! I'm aaalmost halfway through the line art! Fweeww- It's slow going, but It's nice to give shape to this world! #cyberpunk #art #nsfw

Small update on my WIP! I lost my tablet pen halfway through, so some of the line art was done with my mouse instead... I'll go over with them my pen for shading and details later!

I drew some doodles today! They aren't meant to be anything in particular. I just wanted to stay in the habit of drawing regularly!
