I'd also really appreciate any shares to my Patreon! Each month I create a package of fantasy portraits for TTRPGS, to use in private & streamed games. It's fully made by me, with suggestions from the members, and it's very affordable!🤩 I have a library with 600+ portraits! bsky.app/profile/eren...

It's my birthdaaaaay!🎊 As an artist, it's often difficult to acknowledge how much I work and how much I improve, so today I want to be nicer to myself and share some of my favourite pieces I made since my last bday.💙 If you'd like to share, it would be a lovely gift!🙏✨

no they haven't. NO THEY HAVEN'T. the breach happened in June and they only informed our government in fucking SEPTEMBER and via an EMAIL. NOTHING ABOUT THIS HAS BEEN OPEN. GROW A FUCKING BACKBONE YOU SYCOPHANTIC FUCKS.

i've been obsessed with the word psychopomp since i first encountered it decades ago and this piece is fire

only 64% of the way through the year but already 75% through my goal of reading 52 new books in 52 weeks.

halfway to 52 books in 52 weeks

the novel: "a waving black pedipalp coated in dark hairs forces its way out through Hilton's left eye" me: "what's a pedipalp?" *searches* me:

if i dropped dead tomorrow at least i wouldn't have to deal with work anymore

scott: could it be from "i, robot"? me: nah, the tunnels in "i,robot" are oval shaped *beat* me: WHY DO I KNOW THAT?! how in any way is that information useful to me

adobe prices have become a joke. that coupled with having to commit to an annual subscription basically guarantees me dropping the products this year. time to learn some alternatives i guess. or just give up entirely.

i had 2 good weeks and now i'm miserable again

i wish movies with flashbacks would stop putting a "present day" subtitle when returning from the flashback. present day? when was this film shot? do i need to imdb the release date now so i can figure out the time difference between the flashback and the "present" that was actually 30 years ago?

29c (84f) at 1am on xmas day

not me going to bed every night and laying there doing the mental math on the percentage of my time off that has gone by (18.75%)

getting likes on my posts and seeing they're from people making ai "art". ew ew ew ew ew.

the like a dragon games are bad for my blood pressure. i rage so hard at the injustice.

. @echochlo.com out here reminding us we've been putting up baby numbers when it comes to hate (bsky for the love of good increase your file size limits, time limits, and file upload speeds)

Feeling extra festive and grateful for the snowy weather this season. It's something I didn't know how much I missed until I had it again. A little Yule Log animation to celebrate and share the magic 🔥🎄 #mograph #3d

I made a machine steal the work of a real human being. It's almost as if the stolen work it regurgitated seems like it was written by a real human being. Instead of giving that credit to the breathing person it was stolen from... perhaps the theft machine is actually alive??

the words "buffy summers, class protector" will never not make me tear up

it's been extra lately

stupid colon (this works on two levels)

"how high do you want to get?"

why does spotify shuffle suck more and more ass with each month/year

renting alone, at my age, in this market, makes me want to kill myself. seriously. in the entire region of my city there are 10, count them 10, out of hundreds of listings, that are my current rent amount (which is already absurd) or cheaper. how the fuck am i supposed to live.

coworkers to me: "i'm sorry for all the questions about this, i'm just not 100% sure with x customer/environment because of how odd it is" me: *screenshots conversation and sends it to boss that i do the exact same thing to all the time along with a circle of life gif from the lion king*

i know i'm gonna be pooping bad tomorrow

this definitely isn't about anything in particular but praise be to moderation lists for allowing me to just keep certain things out of my feed full stop

if you date me i'm going to make you watch (in no particular order): serenity (firefly optional), pushing daisies, spirited away, the crow, the thing, the princess bride, heat, fury road, paddington 2, nope, farscape, the fountain, altered carbon s1, fringe, veronica mars, arrested development s1-3

me after i refill the cup i just had coke in with water and it tastes funky

an animation i did of the cover of @emotrophywife.bsky.social's novel "herculine". dope ass original cover art by @egallagher.bsky.social

several lightbulbs in my apartment are controllable LEDs. every few months one will drop its settings. it'll turn on, go dark after a couple of seconds, and start strobing shortly after. all of this to say: i don't appreciate my bathroom light doing this immediately after i rewatched the ring.

i have spent the last 10 minutes searching discord on my phone for a gif of an animation i did last year to attach to an email i'm about to send rather than walk 15 metres to my living room and find my local copy there
