Comic showing a cute orange kitten lying on a woman's laptop keyboard, smugly smiling up at its owner. Woman is seated at the desk, glaring down at the kitten, with her arms crossed. Caption reads: "Finally, Linda was able to identify the source of her writer's block."

A little photo dump and a peek at what I'm working on (pretending I didn't just take the first two 15 minutes ago 😂)

I came across an outdated guide on image grid sizing crop/proportions for bsky earlier, and I felt it was important to create an updated version! Please use this new guide instead!

Up-to-date BlueSky Crop Aspect Ratio
Crop Sizes for Bluesky as of 18 Oct 2024

By default, single images are uncropped. If image is too tall (Exceeds the 1:2 aspect ratio) then it will be cropped. Single images that are too tall may be scaled down but aspect ratio is preserved

With two images, both of them share a square aspect ratio of 1:1

For three images, the first image is square (1:1) while the other two are half-squares (2:1)

And for 4 images, all of them are 3:2

Now that the weather is getting chillier, I made a cozy fall illustration of some cute critters getting coffee 🤗

Illustrators, I’ve been crafting some custom feeds using blueskyfeedcreator.com. User-made feeds is one of most powerful ideas here. Here's one that is meant to be just illustration. Not gallery art, or design, or lettering. Still training it!

Just Illustration: bsky.app/profile/did:...

Enjoy!
