Anyway time to post this again.

AI is a tool of fascism.
Batman breaking a rifle in half from a 1986 comic. The rifle has a label "AI (even if you're making fun of it)" and Batman is saying "This is the weapon of the enemy. We do not need it. We will not use it."

Me: I’m not really into stories that deal with relationships

Also me: I can’t go to Pax until I know if everyone is okay from the evil tv head man who has been very mean to them

New character!
Eparie. He's so fun to write.
New character! Eparie is your main point of contact with the Salvager's Cache. He's a bright, charismatic, individual with feline and aquatic features, making him well suited to work on Soubos. He's very intelligent but thinks he knows and understands a bit more about the world than he actually does. He assumes everyone is out for themselves and readily expects to be lied to, hurt, and double crossed. He's very, very slow to trust. That said, he, in general, is reasonable and keeps his word. Above all else, he's effective and professional. He's a master at memorizing people's wants and needs to create personal gain for himself, and sometimes, mutual gain for both parties. Due to this, he's a firm believer in confidentially and discretion. He's there to do his job, do it well, keep his people safe, and get paid. He is ruthless enough to hurt people in order to do that, but he prefers not to as he considers that a failure on his part. He'd much rather turn on the charm and have both parties walk away a little bit more wealthy - or at the very least, him. He absolutely thinks you're lying to him and is excited to figure out your angle. 👌Eparie will also be taking your questions and giving answers or advice at this time.

Does anyone have any idea if/how they are impacted by the whole tariff thing?

Empathy be like…
“What’s wrong, babe?”
“Oh, I’m feeling embarrassed for an *imaginary character* over the action they took in this media I just watched.”

I just had a GREAT meeting with the Astra Fauna crew and I was typing notes in the office. Ink barked and then started dramatically licking at his empty bowl in the office. Ink has a kitchen bowl

Trying to loosen up with some wolfy illustrations. I love drawing scratchy messy fur on wild beasts, and the contrast with the clean shapes and lines of their legs and tails. I figure the wolf faction gets a paw print coat of arms as well.
A page of vintage style storybook fairy tale illustration with a few different vignettes featuring wolves. A stalking wolf among some giant claw-like bones protruding from the ground. A pair of playful cubs near a tree, and a bounding wolf pouncing above the other two drawings. In the corner, a shield marked with a paw print.

Oh gosh, digging around in my old art I also found this gem. I kinda want to make her into a sticker. 😂

I'm making some new characters, and I have questions for you!
What tropes do you think are played out and boring?
What tropes do you love and can never get enough of?

I painted Umaii!
They're so sweet. ❤️

They like tea, biscuits, and blankets.
Umaii is a sea slug like humaniod. Umaii is an incredibly bright xenobiologist who is also extremely anxious. They often have trouble making decisions and aren’t very confident. They’re very sweet, caring, and shy. Despite that, they are also very brave - still doing things that scare them, although sometimes they do need a little help to get going.
