Sometimes our long term plans and ambitions just don't come to fruition despite our best efforts. Not much to be done besides dusting yourself off and moving on...

I don't normally make fan art but I decided to make an exception for one of my favorite game series. #silksong #hollowknight

The horse racing industry is just the absolute worst, obsessing over pedigree and treating the horse as little more than a money maker. Not even getting into the shortened lifespans due to being worked so hard. If they do retire, workers have to convince the horse they don’t have to run anymore.

The image is a three-panel comic featuring a simple drawing of a dog with a bone in its mouth.

- In the first panel, the dog looks content with a bone; and above its head, there is text that reads: "I want to be good at [insert hyperfixation here]."
- In the second panel, a hand appears take the bone away, and the text above the dog reads: "No practice."
- In the third panel, the dog looks intense, and the text above reads: "Only good."

It’s always portrayed as punishing failure but what about rewarding winning? That would make the death game far more interesting if the player is putting it on the line for a grand prize.

So easy to forget how much a simple vent piece can help the mood. I was ready to even pour out into a whole prose schtick screeching about how much I hate everything in the modern world but felt better after just drawing the picture so lost the mojo to keep going.

What I like to call a copyright friendly version of a well known game over screen. Kudos to anyone who knows specifically which one is being referenced.

First art piece done in nearly three weeks, a bit rusty but not too bad I'd say. It's a bit of a vent piece as well, representing that feeling of being trapped with seemingly no way out. Pretty sure we've all been there before...

Yeah that sounds good, I'll take a piece of that action.

GOOD werewolf media to be specific, with a werewolf that actually looks like a wolf and isn’t just a mindless killer. Something that plays up the tight knit nature of wolves.

I’ve been making tiny slap stickers with paint pens to put places. Very sloppy bc each one is only like 1.5 inches but I think that gives them some charm

That’s actually a really cool idea for chat interaction and very incentivizing.

I really must thank Goldammer for his wonderful piece he made for me. It gave me the inspiration to muster up the energy for one final piece for ArtFight. I'm honored he made one for me given his skill level so hopefully he enjoys this one in return. #artfight

After a few days off, finally back in the game. The character's owner drew a pic of me early on in ArtFight and I've been meaning to respond ever since then. Hey better late than never as they say. #artfight

It took awhile to work up the nerve and inspiration but I have finally made my revenge piece in response to @rhaeloth.bsky.social wonderful Judgment he made for me on my birthday. I really felt like I needed to up my game so I tried for some new perspective I haven't done before. Hope he like it.

This is my first revenge piece in retaliation for a defense Naeriie used against me. This is the first 'humanoid' I've ever really drawn a full picture of and overall not so bad I like to think. Hopefully the character owner thinks the same.

You don't aways need a grand gesture to totally save the world.

Sometimes, working to keep it fit for living in is enough.
