Thread. As I mentioned before, bad news and outrage erode you on the long run, and they destroy your will. Take care of your mental health. Stop browsing, take a break, and maybe return later. Don't blame who wants to stay sane, but give them strength and don't make them feel alone.

ngl.link/chthonic_tan... I made a thing :3 go ahead, curious to see how cursed the questions get :D ill respond to my favourites here :3c

Vid found on tt, This is the energy im bringing forward into my future. I shouldnt need to explain further. Im quiet rn for a reason, you should be too if you wanna make a difference and live, because the loudest cogs get removed first. But quiet does not ever mean passive.

New project, for @nudistenwafel.bsky.social this time, of their OC, Waffle :3 this was all the progress I made today, plan on working on it some more over the week. I wanna experiment on some things with it :3

its so themmm #jayvik

Therian in the sense that being human doesn't feel like it's enough but I don't want to be an animal-animal, I want to be a person-animal, I want to scurry and run between two worlds & shred those lines with my claws and chew apart those boxes as they're erected somewhere between wild & habituated

:3

Speaking of birthdays, mine is happening this week :D Finally hittin the big 3-0 TBH, never expected to live this long so small victories ig x3 Lets see if i make it to 40 before everything implodes societally lmao

And here it is :D Bday gift for one of the girlfriends x3 She doesnt have an account here yet so i can post this without her seeing it before her bday ;3c

Im using this as an idea for my next bit of cursed meme art lmao

Feel like I coulda spent more time on it tbh, but i also feel like if i had, it would have made it worse somehow.

Some Hollow Knight fan art i started a couple months ago featuring @peacefultreasure.bsky.social 's buggo OC, Scarlet :D Also Grimmchild is there ig x3 One of my rare sfw pieces, really enjoyed playing with this one. got to experiment with blurs, shadings, and architecture

I will say tho, im loving how im already seeing things crop up in my work repeatedly that im getting better n better at, that are def starting to show my own unique style flavour is starting to bud up and blossom :3

Okay so after looking at some art from other artists who are more in line with what i wanna do, looks like something easy i can try to incorporate is doing better about adding highlights alongside the shading, doing less drop shadows and more circular gradients between lights n darks on bodies

This reminded me that Zoids existed :( i miss zoids that shit was cool af when i was a mini me ... Ya know i dont normally do non-furry stuff but i think i just might mix the two Maybe do like, Zoid versions of a couple OCs, see what i can drum up If ya see this Gatsby, thanks for the inspo 👈🏻😎👈🏻

I think once im more comfortable with drawing bodies i can move onto tinkering with other stuff like my color grading, shading, etc. Tho looking over my work up to this point from the past few years, i think what im lacking is the refinement that comes from like, art schools.

Progress on the flats, coming along nicely Need to adjust Peaceful's eyes some, i wanted her to look dopey but not that dopey x3 ah well the creative process be like that Colors, drop shade, adjusting of Peace's eyes, then doing that cool lil border outline i see artists do to make it all pop

Me, ready to crash out cuz the stupid tariff bs has caused green cholula to be on prolonged back order due to "High Demand" OFC ITS IN HIGH DEMAND, ITS FROM MEXICO, GIVE ME SPICE OR IM TURNING THAT ANNOYING ORANGE INTO WORM FOOD

Ill try and finish the bday piece tomorrow. I...havent been feeling that great emotionally for awhile now. A mix of things really. Relationship woes, finances, the future looking how it does. Idk. I feel tired and sad and left behind, a mixture of depressed and upset. Idk why i try anymore.

Rough progress today on bday art piece for one of @peacefultreasure.bsky.social and mine's partners Peaceful Treasure (Unicorn, background) Snowy (Fennec, middle) Chthonia (Tanuki, Foreground) The hiatus was 100% needed goddamn

Okay, took an extended break from everything, but now im feeling good enough to pick up the stylus again :3 Gonna work on a bday project for someone then maybe work on some more of the freebie fanarts for folks i had going :3
