Well that was fast 🥹 Slots are now full and I will be reaching out to those who expressed interest! Thanks so much y'all 😭😭😭

Hey folks! I'm about to open some slots in my queue. Would anyone be interested in a photo draw-over commission? You provide the photo, I provide the character! You can be giant, tiny, or any size in between :3 They start at $75 for a full body character

Them: So what have y'all been up to? Me: Haha, you know. The usual. The Usual:

Being a digital artist is exhausting 🤷‍♂️

Really gorgeous design <3 I'm not biased or anything though

I'm so so so happy with how this lil guy turned out! I've got about another 4 or 5 to make for my next event in the new year, but here's the first one so far! This little kobold has a bit of articulation in the torso, shoulders, tail, and base of his neck. All handmade by yours truly!

The amount of time I just wasted because I didn't realize that previewing Audiolink with Poiyomi shaders in Unity doesn't work unless you manually lock them first... 💀

Surely these two things are unrelated |D

What if I didn't go to any more meetings today and made cookies instead

The craftsmanship on this???? If you have ANY interest in cosplay/fursuiting/crafting, go follow this account 😭 absolutely incredible work!

More traditional media experimentation! Watercolor, ink, color pencil, and a little bit of digital touchup.

Fixed things in Blender, so now let's see if they will propagate to Unity without destroying everything :'D

The amount of extra work I just created for myself by forgetting to uncheck a singular box before hitting save :'D

Man I love what this artist does with color 😭😭 Go look at their page, the whole thing is a real treat!

Ok, help me settle an argument: if you have a desktop PC, how often do you turn it off? Like, not just put it to sleep or restart, I mean shut it all the way down. Mine is on 24/7 which I feel is pretty normal |D

Well this is extraordinarily disappointing :/

Ah yes, let me just clean up some of these vertices real fast-- #blender #vrchat #WIP

So because of some significant life changes, I got hit with some pretty bad art block (on top of some logistics issues that made it tough to spend hours at my workstation). I took a gamble and simply stopped doing art for like 2 months. Just as quickly as it hit, the art block lifted last week. +

omg it's perfect 😭😭😭

Ug these are SO COOL!

Me: I'm going to start moving through this art block Also Me: Time to UV unwrap some wings! I guess I'm gonna hit the ground running! :'D Please bear with me while I get my momentum back and art posts will commence once again~ #blender #VRChat

This is my favorite kind of science!

Well... that was certainly an experience. I'm through the worst of it now and reestablishing some sense of normalcy which will hopefully come with more spoons. It's bizarre how my ability to draw simply ✨disappears✨ while under duress, but I look forward to regaining that as well. Onward!

I had such an incredible experience today. I'm at a point in my illness where my doctor is just sort of tossing prescriptions at me to see what works. Sometimes they help, but usually not. Three weeks ago, I started something new. Last month, I could not go outside without an N95. Even breathing +

LOOK AT HER AND HER FLUFFY SMILE AAAAAAA

Oof, what a month July has been x.x A surprising intensity of highs and lows, but hopefully things will be stable for the next few weeks. The only thing certain is that big change is in store for me, but it should be mostly good even if it's difficult in the short term. But on the incredibly+

I'm having an issue where Bluesky keeps logging me out of my account. I feel it's most likely some sort of bug, but if I start posting weird stuff or randomly asking for money know that my account has been compromised lol

Really interesting study about the real vs. perceived time-saving aspect of LLMs for experienced developers working on real-world tasks. I think the most interesting aspects of this are 1) the discrepancy between perceived and actual time saved by the devs, even after completing the tasks, and +

Reposting for the morning folks!

Alrighty one last Art Fight for now before I get back to work. This colored sketch is revenge for @pentragon-zei.bsky.social's incredible attack on Avira. I guess everyone is getting dramatic under-lighting oops #art #ArtFight #TeamCrystal

Oh my goodness LOOK AT HER SHE'S ABSOLUTELY PERFECT WOW 💜🩵💙🩵💜

First attack of the year for @kepesk.art !! I know he's generally a friendly dragon, but I've had this composition in my head forever and I needed a red derg for it 😭 Hope you don't mind the grouchy face! (also I'm one step closer to figuring out scales, I think?) #dragon #art #ArtFight

Oh man July is turning out to be quite the month so far +____+ I'm not going to be getting through the same amount of art fight attacks as prior years 💀

EVERYBODY LOOK AT HER SHE'S PERFECT AAAAAAAA 😭😭😭😭😭😭

😍😍😍😍

I know it's a useless sentiment, but I do wish I could occasionally partake in public gaming lobbies without fielding weird sexual comments from literal children x.x Wounder if a voice changer to sound more masc would help

LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO artfight.net/~here_be_dra... #ArtFight #TeamCrystal

It took 7 years, but she finally has a reference!! Poor babby ;_; Now I just have to get my team card together and I'm ready for Art Fight! This was inspired by the beautiful references of @stasanie.com #dragon #art #furry #OC #refSheet

Some great stuff here if anyone is looking for comms 👀

Get an Avira reference finished in time for Art Fight challenge (impossible)

Kept seeing the 48 Laws of Power recommended as a great resource for work, so I started reading it. It seems an like apt book for cartoonishly evil villains??? I don't know who's acting like this at work but they need a chill pill and like four therapists 😭😭😭 A summary for the curious:

A new fowldyr approaches! Just in time for #Junicorn 🦄

Some more traditional art! It feels bit surreal recreating my ocs on paper after drawing them digitally for so long xD #dragon #dragonart #dragonartists #traditionalart #oc #art

Artists, how many social media platforms do you use? I got really burnt out on social media and fell off the internet for a few years, and then I restarted with a tumblr. Eventually I found my way to Bluesky, and now I'm trying out Discord and Reddit. It feels like a lot of effort! lol

S tier internet content: 1. Birds 2. Niche hobby drama 3. Animals committing crimes 4. OC Brainrot 5. Birds (please contribute to the list; it's for science)

This weekend's project was another pass at fur grooming with geometry nodes in #Blender. It's so difficult to get the fur smooth instead of choppy x.x And there are weirdly few tutorials on best practices for grooming. Still, I think this came out better than my last try! #art #disney #theLionKing

This is really similar to one of Avira's design iterations. This character design is SO GOOD 😭😭😭😭

Why do work things always happen during Furality, LOL. Managing some unexpected challenges for a different conference this week that will occupy me for the entirety of the weekend OTL. Oh well, I'll make it someday!
