"Ok. Then how do we prepare for the food rationing?"
-"What food rationing?"
*Gestures at future self*
-"Oh this? No we do this by choice."
"Oh... Awesome!"

Yeeeh. My Hrothgar-appearing self was all "What're you going to do. Drown me? Again? And fail. Again."
I enjoyed throwing our Madbloooms words back at her though.

Full BG piece done for diokana
Thank you for commissioning me!

✧ #SogCatArt #Commission #Art #FurryArt #DnDArt #FantasyArt #Dragon #Kobold

Zix has been reunited with his wife Teeri. Keldaros is of course present, because wherever Zix is, Keldaros is as well. Zix is enjoying getting to live a happy life with his wife and Keldaros after having saved the world.
Keldaros is a male Silver Dragon Wyrmling. Teeri is a coral female Kobold woth a nose horn, general body shape is mostly similar to Zix’s. Zix is a black male kobold wearing a belt and straps, arm wraps and leg braces.
Both Zix and Teeri have a thread in a criss-cross weave around one of each of their horns matching the other’s primary scale color and they're holding tails.

Hey, I am ACE too but that doesn't mean I can't get horny and imagine stuffing friends. ;)

I noticed a slight trend towards Hornet painting in crests styles and decided to participate.
However, I only had enough ideas for Architect Crest.

I didn't know about this Signal For Help hand gesture until today. I'm quite sure that a lot of other people don't know it either (as demonstrated in this video). If you just learned it now too then it was worth posting.

There are various unions that you can join in the artist industry even if you are a freelance/furry artist, if you can spare the union fees, that will help you if needed.

to everyone saying “i’m moving to ireland”

…you do realize that you can advocate for fair artist payment in the states… right? this didn’t happen overnight and neither will the US version of this.

sue me for being optimistic

Mike Sowden @mikeachim.bsky.social · 4d

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

It always helps to be decent to people you meet.
You never know you may have avoided being dragged off just because of a smile and a simple 'Hello' rather than grumbling and shoving.
Also I'd just probably open the door and hand over my booze, I can't rhyme or sing anyway.

But at least you'd HOPE that people making a New Hole would recognize and remember WHY people moved over in the first place and not follow the other one only faster...

Taross Blackburn-Tawner @blackburn.tawner.net · 5d

Alas, owners of New Hole are quickly pouring in the same crap that made Old Hole unbearable even faster than Old Hole did on its own.
Unfortunately the days of people being able and willing to maintain a nice Hole for the fun of it, or just to have it exist, are long gone.
It's too expensive...

Haus of Decline @hausofdecline.bsky.social · Apr 28

A huge group of people are in a giant hole in the middle of a rolling field. There is a large sign with an arrow pointing to the hole that says "HOLE." Suddenly the group's attention turns to a new hole, complete with a giant sign with an arrow pointing to it that says "NEW HOLE." One person points to the new hole and says "hey look! Someone made a new hole!" The mass clamours out of the old hole and makes a bee-line toward the new hole. It's chaos. One person, now situated in the new hole says "this feels like how the old hole used to feel." Another person nods in agreement.

Then that would be correct. It's a very unfortunate cut-off. :D
