I think this is the least Taneli and Kitov have ever appeared in a chapter.  I finished that set of commissions I was working on so now my work schedule is just the comic until I can get more commissions. #webcomics #fantasyart Archive: cryptsandcantrips.kytri.net Etc: kytri.net/links/

I might do some game livestream later if I can get some work done and I'm feeling well enough. Wanted to yesterday but was feeling sick.

I can finally post these! Set of commissions for @jynxtsi.bsky.social that I've been working on for the past couple of months. Timelapse of all 4 since I drew them one the same canvas, it's almost 40 minutes and has no sound youtu.be/HGTCwcEpdGs

FFX Shiva painting (from 2024) My favorite Shiva in the series. Love the finger snap move. #FFX #FinalFantasy #art

If you have a Git Hub account, go share your thoughts about this here. Be civil, but strong in our convictions. Let make our voices heard.

For those who believe that this ain't that bad 'cause it's easy to bypass if you really want to... Look at this shit. Let that vid play & REALLY Look at this shit. Yeah. No Normal User is going to see ALL That & say "Yes! I will dive all these warnings to see if it's SFW, NSFW or a Text post." -.-

ughh I guess I'm swapping from linktree to just making a page with links on my own site

Speaking of financial precarity I'm open for commissions and am capable of drawing a variety of things. My average commission is in the $60-$150 range but some things are less or more depending on complexity. Turn around time is usually within a couple of months. commiss.io/kytri or vgen.co/Kytri

This is tangential to this thread but after reading it I'm now wondering if the high incidence of mental health problems among artists is related to being constantly told by every part of society that art is worthless.

savages got cancelled so I'm taking the opportunity to run through the event quest on a bunch of alts. I forgot I logged out one of them in front of Haurchefant when I logged in on her just now there were multiple other players around his desk including one in gpose standing right next to him.

Bsky is apparently gonna start flagging whole accounts as nsfw soon so if you don't already know about your moderation settings, highly suggest switching nsfw from Hide to Warn; otherwise many creators will completely vanish from your timeline when they roll this out.

Commissions are open! I have time before my summer classes start to get two in, possibly three if I have time. These are not first-come, first-serve. Fill out the form to put your name in! forms.gle/CwRrKxfgxzT1...

I keep my feed on show everything and this is the first time I'd considered that this also sucks from a viewer's perspective

And there it is, staff's new favorite silencing tool

let's be clear, let's be very clear, let's be incredibly clear about something: Marcia Lucas is why you love Star Wars. She's why Star Wars worked. She's why it has heart. She's responsible for the in-media-res beginning, she's responsible for basically everything charming and unique about >

I think we’re long past the “ai bad because of stealing” argument and fully in the “ai is also actively and tangibly destroying our planet why are you even trying to use it as an art tool at this point” stage

I tried the go live thing but I don't think it worked. anyway, I'm working on a commission, maybe something else after my wrist gets too tired www.twitch.tv/itskytri

I can't wait to have my account hidden entirely because I occasionally post artistic nudity and label it as such. :|

Yup, it's not just about the art. It's about clean drinking water, noise pollution, power shortages, the water supply as a whole. It's about scams and harm to real people and children. Genai is everything bad all wrapped in one and proclaimed as "advancement" by the wealthy and the foolish.

I guess I'll be making some adoptables like I was considering. Do you think $200 a piece is too much if they are pretty elaborate? (i.e. comes with front and back views and a few pose/expression sketches? Maybe an extra $50 for a nude version?)

Had to set a new ko-fi goal. I haven't quite finished this last commission I have but I'm needing to solicit for new ones and/or donations. ko-fi.com/post/new-goa...

I've been mostly unsuccessfully trying to get people to do this even if it's just fanart in a discord or whatever. if you like the art enough to share the least you can do is give the artist that little bit of advertising.

we really need to standardize crediting artists. especially in an era where so much ai slop is being put out there if your promo art isn't ai? prove it. give the damn artist some credit. easy fix it even saves the company some small amount of face if it's the artist who used ai. everyone benefits.

Listen I'm very loudly anti-AI but I think part of being anti-AI is also that you have to be AGGRESSIVELY pro-artist. Please support your artists, especially ones with marginalized identities.

Artists get raked over the coals by clients for mistakes and revisions, often with very little art direction. Artists have to be mind readers and then get punished or have pay withheld. Then these same clients accept mistakes from ai they would never accept from a real human artist.

One MUST resist the urge to lolcow. I'd call it one of the most important urges to resist on the contemporary internet, actually

Here's the serious bit for anyone who'd rather skip the 4000 words of jokes

Artists, it looks like Adobe might be doing very questionable things at the moment by auto-enrolling you into a more expensive AI-heavy "pro" plan (potentially even charging you for opting out after the fact, which I should hope is illegal). Be vigilant 🧵 see further posts below

I can't justify buying a new game right now but this looks like it was made specifically for me.

Bluesky'll show you as a follower of someone even if you unfollowed them long ago. A bunch of friends and I realized this when we all saw one another following a bad actor in our space when none of us did. Don't jump to conclusions when you see someone's face on problem profile. Bluesky, fix it!

This really is it, this is the part that keeps me raging against the machine. Every day of my career I’m shoulder to shoulder with incredible people, pouring their skill & point of view into the work they do, making choices that amaze and delight me. Frame by frame, drawing by drawing…that’s THE job

I forgot to write anything for the post. Oops. The site seems to be working, though I'm still adjusting to the new posting process. I've barely started the art for chapter 18, but I have started it. #webcomics #fantasyart Archive: https://cryptsandcantrips.kytri.net/ Etc: https://linktr.ee/kytri

surely this is sustainable

Brother this pornographic fanart fails to capture the spirit of the character

One of my greatest works, Canon in Don't Engage.

“Why do I wanna watch/read something you can’t be bothered to make” is what all of this boils down to.

Thilan's GC isn't really super relevent lorewise but he's in the Immortal Flames. I picked it mostly because Uh'dah is his starting city and is the closest to being his home of the three. OOC the dev team will probably never but I wish we could join GCs for some of the expansion cities.

First post since updating the site, let's hope I do it right. Please let me know if you find any issues. I've tried to check everything but I'm not great at CSS. #webcomics #art Archive: https://cryptsandcantrips.kytri.net/ Etc: https://linktr.ee/kytri

Last year, miHoYo copied my puzzle game Ouros in Zenless Zone Zero. Because they are a recognized, billion-dollar studio and my game isn't well known, some people are now assuming that their version is the original, and mine is the clone. I hope this video clears that up.

Patreon reward drawing for @pikachu15eevee.bsky.social of her and her boyfriend's sonas.

Only one person has sent me a screenshot of their character so I've only done one of these sketches. If you sent a gift and would like one please leave a comment or DM me! I'll keep the offer open until the end of june I think. Thanks!
