But yeah my biggest wish for many of my peers (and honestly anyone in a tough financial situation), is to get well-paying permanent employment in the new year. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Oh oh! And also FINALLY getting diagnosed for ADHD and getting medication for it. It has really changed my life for the better. (Where's my other late-diagnosis ADHD pals?✋️)

Honestly getting that dayjob after being unemployed for about 2.5 years (apart from some freelance contracts here and there) was a damn miracle. Again, the pay is pretty low, but the paycheck is consistent. 😔🙏

share your couples art! 😌😌😌 -Two bandmates (it's complicated 👀💧) -A twink elf and his zombie knight (that one is also complicated...) -Two demons who are childhood best friends to lovers (WHOLESOME) -A twink harpyboy and his VERY large minotaur friend (uh...they make it work...👀💦)

I'm like 99.95% done with an ink drawing I started over a month ago. I can do it. I caaannn aaaaghhh 😭😭😭😭😭

Oh speaking of I'm excited for Steel Ball Run! Woo! When the manga was being fan-translated back in the day that's when I got into JJBA (I read it from the beginning to SBR). Johnny was my first Jojo cosplay haha. I don't think any photos exist of it (I hope 😅😅😅).

Welcome back artists!🖌🎨✨️ Quote Post with an old piece that you still like! I still like this Kira piece I did in the before times. It still holds up. 🤔

Oh btw idk if this is a hot take, but I kinda prefer the theatrical releases over the extended editions? Pacing was much better. Save for like a few scenes that were needed for context, the rest were drawn out too long? I especialy don't like how the Dunharrow portion was handled in the extended

Bsky can be hard for people to get started on because it doesn't spoon feed you engaging rage bait and it's entirely what you make it. Take control of what you're seeing. Cultivate your feeds. Remember when it gets "boring" that's okay because then you sign off and do better things with your time.

I also want to emphasize that yes, I'm an 18+ account, but more for the fact that I just want the freedom to post the occassional dickie and hole whenever I want to even though it's not a dedicated NSFW account. 😅 I feel like a lot of my art always edges on 18+ anyway 🤣

I guess a reintroduction is in order? In addition to things said in my pinned post I'm trying to lessen the urge to constantly be "on." Join me here to just vibe. After the hell a lot of industry/career artists have been through lately, I just want to fall back in love with my art again.

Putting on the Lord of the Rings Trilogy all day today. Feels appropriate! 😌💖

Whoa where did everyone come from?? Merry Chrimbus I guess? I don't really have any Christmas related artwork, so have a silly pic of my cat:

Show me how your 2025 went

Oh good, my cintiq all of a sudden stopped working...

Oh yeah! A coworker made homemade boozy eggnog for everyone and it's so dang good 🤤🤤🤤

Omg I have the shop to myself for the rest of the day so I'm gonna play Zico's new song on repeat 🤣🤣🤣 (it's so catchy!) youtu.be/sssoyDLFPWE?...

if the team of highly trained artists at your disposal are the ones failing to create something that looks and feels exactly as cool as you wrote them to be in your head have you considered you might be both a poor communicator and that your idea did not have strong foundations to begin with

This is also a thought. I think we need to treat being online and on social media as "outings" as well. You can burn out really bad from being present online constantly and if that's the main way you engage with your friends, there has to be a set of boundaries there too.

I'm kinda bad about this. I tend to invite people to things all the time, but if I get declined enough, sometimes I'm like "I guess they don't wanna hang out?" For me it is 100% okay to just say "I don't have the social energy." That is valid and it's a tangible answer.

Still hoping to start drawing my comic starting in January (mostly behind closed doors. Trying to engage socially in regards to it is too exhausting unfortunately).

This is why I say happy things and draw my sexy blorbos these days. Otherwise you're gonna get a very cracked out angry monster. I'm gonna go think about my OCs kissing or something to calm me down.

It also grinds my gears when the printer gets blamed for the print looking terrible when we prefaced so many times what we needed beforehand, but the client just tells us to shut up and just print their wonky file. (This is applicable across ALL creative industries)

In context to what I do at my dayjob at a print shop, can I add that it's equally annoying to see people cutting out the expertise of graphic designers and prepress specialists entirely by using programs like Canva and not understanding a damn thing about digital design and print.

So I was gifted some coffee from a client we print for, but I have no coffee appliances and tools in my home, so I tried to steep it like a tea and I feel so foolish LMAO. Idk what to do with all this coffee now 😭

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality. And trans lives are grounded in reality. We see y'all. No matter what. www.popsci.com/science/tran...

I swear I have serious art in the works, but I've been dealing with dayjob, freelance, and car shit. 😭 Have a silly sketch of my OCs, Ixion and Karde, cuddling and being so dang adorable 😤😤😤😤😤😤 #oc #ocart #sketch

"they don't know how to express the idea" here's rian johnson's storyboard for knives out pick up a pencil and a napkin

I'm honestly just incredibly fascinated by humans. With having stories and characters it's is a safe way to explore facets of people's personalities, actions, & reasoning. If I wasn't in any creative field I would have loved to study human psychology (as a researcher not a therapist/social worker)

But yeah I try not to engage in my previous post's discussion too often because it has been hammered in so hard at this point. The concept of capitalism and money needs to fucking die because it results in the most idiotic brainrotting shit. I'm so fucking tired of it.

This has come to the point it so fucking brainless and irritating.

I showed one of my coworkers a Neil Breen movie trailer and he looked at me like I was insane 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 (I thought he would be into it, but I guesss it was too weird 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣)

Also my god can we have Sheva Alomar (and Josh Stone) back in any way??? (Look, I love the RE series, but the cast be very snowy 😭😭😭😭😭)

I'll be very frank y'all, kinda wished Leon got the "old Snake" treatment, but this is fine. Glad he's keeping up with his 90s boyband hair 😭🤣

I know no one cares about my ramblings about my hyperfixations, but hello and welcome 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Okay, not to be back on the Jacob Elordi train again, but good god he's incredibly refreshing? He's just so into his craft, is always a student learning new things, and isn't jaded. youtu.be/9Rn-0AD4JmY?...

Made it home FINALLY

Love this for me, I'm still stuck in my car waiting to be towed. 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪

WELL, my car engine died and now I need to get it towed and I may also have to pay out the asshole to get it fixed and to pay for rideshares to get to work until my car is fixed. HELP. PLEASE. THANK YOU. (Please repost too) share.google/DDfRoLV0wUiq...

Maybe I should have stretched more before headbanging so hard at a dubstep concert. I'm in so much pain LMAO (this was two nights ago 💀💀💀💀) (I had a good time though 🤣)

QRP with oldest and newest art of your oc My boys Ezra and Karde. Two demons who love each other very much 😚💖💖💖💖💖 I created them in early high school (over 20 years ago omfg) I need to actually do proper art with them sometime. 😔 I'm so distracted by other OCs right now lolol

I'm still sobbing about a project that never saw the light of day and I wasn't even in the production (just the same studio). For what I saw it would have seriously blown y'all away.

👁QRP with something with horns👁 (Small horny twink meets big horny giant 🤣)

So I ended up getting it and played two episodes so far. There is so much bisexual tension in this game my god (and my pansexual ass is LOVING it) Robert let me hold you. :3

I'm glad social media didn't exist in my teens to the degree it is now. I used to be one of those "I'm not like THOSE other anime weebs" Guh so cringe!!!

While this article goes very rightly into the disrespect actors have faced in dubbing, underneath that is an entire ecosystem of abused and rushed freelancers doing the timecoding, adapting, directing, engineering, and mixing who Amazon also attempted to cut. www.avclub.com/amazon-ai-an...

Funniest thing was that I used to be a "English dubs suck" shitlord in my teens, but as an older person I've discovered that some dubs in the original Japanese can suck just as much 🤣🤣🤣🤣 It really just boils down to preference LMAO

Man I really wanna do solo karaoke again. It's probably just from hearing it through osmosis, but I wanna see if I can hit those high notes in "Golden" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 (I probably can't but I'll do it anyway 🤣🤣🤣)

Oh no, on Instagram I looked at one video of that twink from Dispatch and now I have thirst trap vids of him plastered all over my For You page LMAOOO (But why he got so much rizz though???????) I guess I need to play this game.

It's insane how gorgeous this is. I WANT MORE OF THIS *tapping my phone screen violently*
