Chucking this into the void like a frisbee, so here goes nothing!

Hello Bluesky! My name is Astral, I draw fanart for games I like, and sometimes other stuff too.
A digital painting of an armored man holding a gun, pictured from the knees up, his face and arm have mutated, leaving him with exposed teeth and a clawed hand. A digital painting of a man, depicted from the waist up. He is cradling a small round robot against his cheek and smiling. a digital painting of a person, depicted in profile from the waist up. Both of their arms are mechanical, and they are holding a knife against their chest. Behind their head are the words "Forget me not.". A digital drawing of a four armed space alien, depicted from the knees up. The alien is strumming on a guitar, and appears to be enjoying itself.

A rolling lush field of grass with orange pedals. There is some low lying mist on the horizon and three pointed hills off in the distance. Blue sky dotted with a couple puffy white clouds.

Was in the mood to make a dungeon synth album cover.
First person view of Frodo Baggins wielding a sword. He is in a barrow and his three unconscious Hobbit friends are superimposed over the background, dressed in white with a sword laid over their necks. An arm of a wight is visible on the right, as is Tom Bombadil's boot. The writing reads "Mathom - Fog on the Barrow-downs".

are you interested in writing or illustrating a blind character? check out this guide from my tumblr mutual and Actual Blind Person, awpie @actingwithportals.bsky.social !

#accessibility #blindness #disability

1/4
A screenshot of a tumblr post from user actingwithportals. It reads: Alright, because clearly some people need it, let's talk about writing blind characters (again). So. You want to write a blind character for your story or AU, but you yourself are sighted and don't know any blind people irl. The media is not your best outlet for finding good or accurate portrayals of blind people, and you're a little stumped on doing your own research. Maybe I can help fill in a few gaps? (Note: I AM a blind person but I am only one blind person with one blind experience. There will be others with different backgrounds, different acuity levels, different overall conditions, different points in their lives of when they lost their vision, all of these things that will color how their blindness impacts their lives. Please when doing any research into representing a minority group ALWAYS seek out multiple experiences to gain a better, fuller understanding. I will be offering a viewpoint as someone who was born blind (ocular albinism), uses a cane, grew up relying on old school screenreading and magnification tools (and mainly just uses magnification now), reads and writes Grade 1 Braille (but has begun Grade 2), and has participated in many blind programs and communities since I was a young teenager. There is no "correct" way to be a blind person, there are just "different" ways, and they are all equally true and valid.) First things first, canes: Give your blind characters a cane!!! Most blind people are very interested in being self-sufficient and independent, and one of the best ways for us to achieve this is the freedom to navigate our own surroundings. Your cane is your best tool for this! A lot of blind folks will also want a guide animal and that does take place of a cane, but also there will be a lot of instances where you will not be using your guide animal! They will take breaks!! They will need to sleep or rest!! They will not be suitable for every outing or excursion! Blind folks, even with guide animals, will still own a cane for these instances. (There is also an instance where a blind person will want to use sighted guide. It's most comfortable doing this with people you are familiar with, but it works in a pinch with strangers too who are willing. However, a lot of folks don't know how sighted guide works. So to explain, essentially all it entails is the blind person will hold onto the space just above your elbow, and will walk about half a step in pace behind you. You do not need to do anything with your arm besides leave it relaxed (do not fold it up), and give out some verbal cues of changes in direction, warnings of upcoming steps up or down, or pauses for other passerbys or traffic. Reading out signs or keeping the blind person informed of what street you're on might also be helpful, but ask the individual what it is they desire from the sighted guide. Sometimes we don't need much, just someone to keep us from running into things if the sun is in our eyes.) (Relatedly though do not do not DO NOT grab a blind person without their consent. DO NOT grab them, move them around, or any other nonsense like this. Do not TOUCH THEM without asking first, and if they say no, that means FUCKING NO.) Now, how do canes work? Most blind folks will use a white cane that is about to the height of reaching your chin standing up straight, so that when you extend it outwards it will reach far enough ahead of you to anticipate things at a distance (and you can also just as easily pull your cane in a little more to better reach things closer up). Canes are most commonly made of metal or fiberglass, and these days a lot of them are folding canes (easy for stowing away while in transit on a car or bus or when seated anywhere). The grip is soft with a cord hanging from its top that is used to loop around and hold in place the cane when folded, and when you are holding your cane outward in use your pointer finger will extend downward for best control over your tool. The tip is made of hard plastic that can be slipped on and off because it will need to be regularly replaced as frequent use will wear it down, and these tips can come in a number of shapes, but the most popular you will see are a marshmallow tip (large and, well, shaped like a marshmallow), or a pencil tip (long and thin, this tip is my preference). People might switch out which tip they use depending on the terrain as well. When in use, you hold your cane extended outward in front of you, and while you want the tip on the ground to be angled centered to your body, you are going to want the grip resting somewhere off to the side around your hip or just above (this way if you encounter a crack or something else in front of you that your cane will snag on, you will not wind up stabbing yourself in the gut with the grip. That shit hurts, avoid at all costs). Depending on your specific needs, the terrain, and other factors such as lighting, crowds, or space available, there are a few different ways you'll actually use the cane. You can either have it running straight in front of you, tapping to the sides of you at 10 o'clock and 2 o'clock, or shorelining (where you keep a regular tap at your center and then at whatever edge your are walking by, whether it be the edge of the sidewalk or a wall, etc). When at rest, your cane should be pulled to stand up straight and held close so that it does not become a tripping hazard for others.

My top surgery is in a month (°_°) so I no longer need my compression tops!

If you or someone you know is in need of an XL binder, please message me. I have 2 full length Underworks tops (1 nude and 1 black) and 1 nude TomboyX half top.

There’s no cost—I just want to provide what was given to me:)

all i've been motivated to draw lately is my ocs from my original story that I can't settle on a title for. you will enjoy it.

#antleredartworks #antleredocs
A drawing of a woman with long, curly brown hair and ears like a deer. She has a melancholy expression, but text above her reads "resting sad face." A roughly coloured headshot of a smiling brown woman. A sketch of a buff feminine figure stretching her arm across her chest. She has a slight smile as she looks at something off page. 2 sketches of the same man, one just his bare facial features, and the other covered in a beard and hair with some shading. He is Black, with a dense, well-groomed beard and kind eyes.

Knight and Burden to bear

[ #art | #oc ]
Knight oc Wreg stading still, looking sad/angry/determined. He's holding his sword in his other hand, and his other palm is bleeding. A full plate armor is over his shoulders, keeping Wreg in place and holding a family banner. The banner is wrapping across them both and depicts black wolves with various colored tails.
