Okay, starting to get my desire to create art back again, helps that I found something to give me inspiration, and it's a new art pen of all things

But I think the results are going to turn out nice. Now I can get back to making assets for my Game! Perhaps by month's end I'll have an alpha to show

I still have to get commissions finished, and I will, but I think I'm going to take a break from creative pursuits to focus on other things for a bit

Part of me needs to rediscover the joy of making for the sake of it, I think too much of it has been bogged down in "this has to be for something"

Sam Rose @samrosemod.bsky.social · 8d

I think I've hit a period of creative burnout/depression

I don't really feel like drawing or doing much writing anymore, despite still loving those things, it's making it difficult even to finish commissions

Yet I still want to create, to be part of projects, just not in the same way I have been

Polyester holds a blue bunny while Polyurethane looks at the viewer with a pleasing expression. The text reads "can we keep them please?". This is fanart and not a screenshot from an actual episode from New Panty and Stocking.

The only consent that matters in art is the artist's consent for it to be seen, and the viewer's consent to see it.

What's the point in being here if you're just gonna put the same restrictions on us as everywhere else?

You gave us content modoration, we used it, and we thanked you for it.

Censoring certain subjects as a rule is not the way forward. Enhancing the labeling system and enforcing it is the way.

One of the sillier aspects of combating issues like this is that as the corpos start to realize they don’t actually have wide support, they start going silent. CS did the same after about the 3rd week

The lack of feedback can have a pseudo-chilling effect on activists, don’t let it
Do those dailies

Feel like now is a good time to bring this back

Please do better BSKY

Sam Rose @samrosemod.bsky.social · Jul 24

Create NSFW art

Porn is not evil, sex is not abhorrent, pleasure is not a crime

Even if you don't agree with all kinks doesn't mean they should be allowed to censor art

This is why we have tags and the blick button, not megacorps deciding what we can and cannot like

Always resist oppression

F*ck You! #art

An illustration of a Latina woman flipping off the viewer. The image is Monochrome minus the orange accents on her hair, nails, background, bra, tongue, eyes, and underwear. The Tattoo on her chest reads "Puta Power".

I have also added a new section for Chibi characters on my VGen, as I'm going to be drawing a lot of chibis for an upcoming comic very soon. Some examples if you wish to see what that might looks like!

Also: starting with learning things like buttons and signals to accomplish tasks, rather than starting off trying to make something like a Platformer or Action game

Making a clicker game used so many fundamentals of Godot its crazy to me its not taught as THE starting course for learning the engine

Sam Rose @samrosemod.bsky.social · 25d

Though I'm far from an expert or a master, I'm considering making Youtube Godot 101 classes that would have helped me personally back when I started learning Godot

What helped the most was both simple explanations and making me think of solutions, so I'd make classes that follow a similar structure

Only thing not really implemented at this point is a win condition and music/SFX

Don't really plan to do it but it sure is nice to just be able to make something, it felt so impossible to do even a year ago

Crazy how fast your skills can grow if you put time into learning

Vacation is almost over so my little silly 'clicker' game is getting polished

-Enemies grow stronger and change sprites each time they are killed
-A boss appears after x amount of minions are killed
-BG Changes each time a Boss is slain
-Properly animated attack animations
-Working auto attacks

Me: All I want is a job where I don't have to stand on my feet all day and mostly handle coworkers and a small number of customers

Job Market: Best we can offer you is 45 hours standing on your feet and dealing with nothing but the angriest customers you've ever met
