I'm 30 or 40 & tired of online pressure to state specific ages while that info is tied to security questions. I may post art, & have a separate ad*lt art SN. DMs are mutual only, but u can reply to any post to chat about whatever.

Doing an october inking challenge w/ little pokemon, meant to work as either stickers or temporary tattoos! There will be 16 designs, where I'll do the outlines first, then the colors mainly in alcohol markers (also ink! but maybe hue-shifted a lil w/ colored pencils); so 31 total w/ b&w & color!

a color illustration of a Quagsire, as seen from below, swimming and holding a wooper under a flipper as it mainly propels itself with its paddle-like tail.

In addition to the sticker mule ceo being a MAGA bozo who supports ICE, I personally find the quality of their stickers to be a bit worse than everywhere else. Some real sloppy cutlines an uneven layers.

Please buy your stuff from elsewhere, for both moral and quality reasons.

Also did some Magma doodling for #LookOutside
theme for me was Roaches doing a romance. First a valentine for Audrey, and then Morton facing the pressure of two oposing political trends.

Simple digital drawings of three characters from the video game Look Outside. The first is a line-less drawing of a small roach (of the cooperative mass of sentient roaches, known only as 'Roaches') holding a small pastel heart valentine on the surface of Audrey's face (the surface the animate vending machine monster that Audrey is) as she leans down and away from the roach in slight shock. The second is of a frazzled looking Morton (cricket like anthropomorphic character hidden in a drab cloak), sandwiched between two towers of vaguely rendered roaches in trench coats, hats, and glasses that press the vague areas of the their faces up against the sides of Morton's head.

Some more #LookOutside sketchbook work. One big page recounting how phillipe showed up in my first play thru; I was a little over leveled for the mold maze and felt kinda bad. But also I couldn't level him up in time for last 4th of the game so he just kinda got housecat treatment.

Four vignette ink illustrations of Sam and Phillipe from the video game Look Outside. The illustrations show Phillipe being grown back to a mobile body from just a severed head, and (content warning) being nourished by Sam's blood at one point before his return to consciousness.

A greyscale drawing of Sam from the video game Look Outsode, with tight posture, his right arm missing, and a light cleft pallet scar.

Loose sketches of Lyle from the video game Look Outside. One has his monstrous cursed form visible, with his arms close to his faces and a posture resembling tip toes (on tripod mechanical legs). The other sketch has his light protection cloak on, wrapped around with only on hand holding it, the other hand held up and a speech bubble of him ordering two caramel lattes and 20 timbits at a tim hortons.

internet subculture tourism taught me about 'mommy brain'/'baby brain' brain-fog phenomena. You think getting your arm bit off could do somethin similar? #LookOutside

Digital grey-scale illustration of Look Outside video-game characters sat around a dinner table. Sam, player-character of the game, is leaned forward over the table near the far corner, and says: "Tobi finish your rice before you go bothering Joel! Joel, drink your juice with your rice or your teeth will get all gummed up! Hellen, can you help me with Tobi? I have to help Joel not crush the straw.' Joel, a boy whose face has morphed into a pit of teeth, is opposite Sam and sat at the table, brandishing a fork in defense of this plate and saying 'Sit back-' with a speech bubble indicating interruption. Sam is paying attention to Tobi, a large mutated rat in a puffer jacket who is lunging across the table at Joel's plate. Sam is attempting (and failing) to stop Tobi with his recently amputated arm stump wrapped in bandages. Just outside his peripheral vision to his right/viewer's left is Hellen, a very tall and broad woman in dark & stained tyvek coveralls, a sweater, and a scuffed hockey mask, with mutations of eyes and teeth under her mask. She clenches her hands on the edge of the table, cracking it, and leaning back as Sam shoves a juice box straw into a hole in her mask and an icon indicating alarm shows behind her head. A dark form in the foreground reacts to the juice faux pas with a cringing sound, the width of the dark hood implying it to be Lyle.

Finished my first video game (reached an 'end' screen corresponding to the end of the game's primary narrative) in a long while recently! #LookOutside
Ive been reading fanfic as a break between diving back in for a different ending or difficulty level, & I've seen a lot of good potential for gen fic

Best thing I’ve read this morning, from a human rights lawyer in Mexico. Translation is in the ALT-text.

Twitter thread in Spanish by José Mario de la Garza, a human rights lawyer in Mexico, translated using Google Translate:

1. Overthrowing a dictator sounds morally right. No one mourns a tyrant. But international law wasn't built to protect the good, but to restrain the powerful. That's why it prohibits force almost without exception: not because it ignores injustice, but because it knows that if each country decides whom to "liberate" by force, the world reverts to the law of the strongest.

2. The problem is not Maduro. The problem is the precedent. When military force is used to change governments without clear rules, sovereignty ceases to be a limit and becomes an obstacle. Today it is “overthrowing a dictator”; tomorrow it will be “correcting an election,” “protecting interests,” “restoring order.” The law does not absolve dictatorships, but neither does it legitimize unilateral crusades.

Cont’d:

3. The uncomfortable question is not whether a tyrant deserves to fall, but who decides when and how. Because history teaches something brutal: removing a dictator is easy; building justice afterward is not. And when legality is broken in the name of good, what almost always follows is not freedom, but chaos, violence, and new victims. The law exists to remind us of this, even when it makes us uncomfortable.

Maduro isn't the problem: he's the face of the problem. Removing him from power would be merely opening the door. Behind him is the machine: Rodríguez, Cabello, the military command, the operators of repression and plunder. If you only change the person at the top and leave the system intact, what follows isn't democracy: it's a reshuffling.

And there's something even more difficult: Chavismo didn't just capture institutions, it captured daily life. Economy, media, bureaucracy, employment, fear, favors, blackmail. A country can't be "de-Chavistaized" by decree or by an electoral miracle. The real transition begins when that network is broken without setting the country ablaze.

The challenge is enormous, and it's also a moral one: to unite without vengeance, but without impunity. Targeted justice for those most responsible, truth for the victims, guarantees that the rest will dismantle the system, and a plan for people to live again—not just survive. Because freedom doesn't come with a new president: it comes when the state ceases to be a threat.

✨ Centipede Knight 🌙

Artwork of a fantasy character that from the torso down is a large centipede. The character holds a shield and has a long braid, wears a fancy feathered hat, and has a bouquet of flowers at his hip and other assorted bits on his belt. The back of his blouse is open, and the start of his carapace for his lower half is visible. His ears are long and pointed, and he has long antenna flowing back and curling at the ends. His carapace and skin are shades of blue with starry accents. His hair is white, and the rest of his outfit in in various shades of the same, plus black. His blue skin is dotted with stars as well. Minimal shading and soft gradients.
