Refined my reference sheet a little bit. Changed up the hair so it's hopefully a little more obvious that that he has a ponytail, added more asymmetrical details to his main outfits, and edited around the colors.

#OC #Selfsona #VampireOC

A reference sheet of a androgynous person in three different outfits. Their hair is mostly dark, but the front hair vents are bleached white. They have subtle facial hair on their cheeks, as well as pinkish freckles.
The leftmost one wears a white blouse with a jabot fastened onto it with a red swirly gem. Light blue frills rest on both sides of the jabot. Worn over the blouse is a pair of dark blue shorts with four gold buttons on the front, and a gold trim lining the hem. They wear navy blue boots with gold buttons and dark blue thigh highs. Above their blouse and shorts is a navy blue jacket with a skirt-like hem and a gold inside. Draped over one shoulder is a short dark blue cape with gold trim. They also wear a pair of round gold glasses.
The middle one is wearing a double breasted navy blue jacket with gold buttoms, the buttons on each side being connected to each other with a gold strap. Worn above their jacket and black pants is a belt and bandolier, the belt having a bag attached to it. For extra support, a strap for the bag is also attached around his thigh. He wears dark blue gloves with gold buttons on the cuffs, and navy boots with a folded over cuffs with gold trim. The boots also have gold buttons on the front of them. Over his shoulders and draping behind his back is a high-collared cape with a dark blue outside but a sparkly light blue inside. They wear the same glasses and jabot as in the first outfit.
Finally to the right is the character is their underwear to more clearly show off their body type and their body hair on their legs, arms, and tummy.
To the left of the fullbody designs is a color palette made up of simplified cartoon bats, while to the right is a curved axe with a swirly red gem embedded into it. Under the axe is a close up of the character's swirly red eye, and underneath that is the nonbinary flag, lithosexual flag, trans flag, and aegosexual flag.

I do still want to try my hand at making videos though because I don't want to quit vtubing entirely, I just... have to hold myself up to discipline and actually bother working on them. Which is unfortunately very difficult for me.

Damian Ivory 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ @damianivory.bsky.social · 5h

Something difficult that I feel I may be coming to terms with is that I may just, not enjoy streaming?

I dunno if it's because streaming isn't for me as a whole or if it's because most of my streams have dead demotivating chats, but I just can't bring myself to stream most of the time.

Sometimes I'll try to look at what the top posts are in the OC and Art tags only to come back with no useful information on what gets noticed because they all vary in style and subject manner.

I like the convenience of using RPG maker to make games since I've tried learning the basics of programming and it never really sticks, but man it can be difficult to come up with unique mechanics for RPGs. Especially ones that haven't already been done before.

Damian Ivory 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ @damianivory.bsky.social · 1d

I try to check clearsky as rarely as possible but I did just find out that I was added to an imdie game dev list, which is cool but I also have complex feelings about it. I don't know if I can really call myself a game dev when I haven't released a single game, just worked on scrapped projects.

when my mom was very young, her house got hit by a flood that hit San Antonio.

the Salvation Army wouldn’t let them stay in their shelter unless my grandfather signed a declaration that their home being flooded was Gd’s punishment for their sins.

fuck the Salvation Army.

No promises but I think I want to start up an actual schedule by streaming every weekend, hopefully starting tomorrow.

I am not yet convinced that Friend will be a real character in Deltarune. With that being said I keep on listening to fanmade Friend USTs anyway.

Damian Ivory 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ @damianivory.bsky.social · 1d

I ended up scrapping two characters for my game for a reduced workload's sake, but I'm thinking about adding Selene in their place since

1) I just realized that the main party is entirely composed of men now.

2) People seem to like Selene.

Re-figured out how to connect my joycons to my laptop through Bluetooth so I can use a controller to play the games I have on Steam or Itch.

You know I'm still not fully convinced any of the songs I've made are actually good.

Damian Ivory 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ @damianivory.bsky.social · 2d

Still trying to make battle themes for my game but every song I make that carries that higher energy is either a rock song or a lighthearted adventure fantasy song when I'm TRYING to make something elegant and gothic.

Thinking about redesigning Ashen since I didn't put much thought into his outfit beyond matching the same Ouji aesthetic that Damian and Percival had, without really thinking about how it should inform his personality...

Damian Ivory 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ @damianivory.bsky.social · 3d

I should probably take a break from working on my game for a few days. I can already feel myself starting to run on fumes.

Damian Ivory 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ @damianivory.bsky.social · 3d

Character design. I wanted Damian to look very pretty and regal and I think I succeeded with that.

Update: I'm so upset that I had to calm myself down to make this post.

#MutualAid #MAHelp #HelpSky #HelpFolksLive2025 💸💕

I know I already did a Daily Boost but I got some bad news to share.

Walmart all of a sudden wants to verify my grocery orders & they decided to do this at the worst time. They want to verify my order via phone number but my phone is off & it cost me $70 to turn it back on. I only have enough money to either turn my phone back on or order groceries. I don't have enough for both.

This is so upsetting to me because they've never done this to me and I've been ordering groceries from them for a couple of years. It's the closest and most affordable groceries I can get since I don't have a car. So I'm in a lose-lose situation right now. Please if y'all can help me out so I won't starve, that would be very much appreciated.

Picture of my phone with the Walmart app opened. The text shown on the screen states:

"Let's Verify it's you. Receive a one-time code on your phone, and use it to sign in to your account."

It then says below that "Phone number (10 digits) with a blank boxed space below.

I should probably get started on some tilesets or something. So far my focus visually speaking has been on the UI and character sprites, but I haven't gotten started on the environment yet...

Damian Ivory 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ @damianivory.bsky.social · 4d

Realized recently that the parameters included in some of SomeRanDev's plugins means I can make my game look Even More Distinct through futzing around with them. The main menu looks pretty cool now, I think. Maybe I'll post a picture of it later.
