Hi, I'm Naarel, and I don't know how to promo myself! I'm a VN/IF dev guy behind Oneironverse, Passerine Hills, the Lights series and a couple of more personal works (like "i won't finish this game" or "te/ra/to/ma"). Check out my work at naarel.itch.io

I don't often draw humans with non-human traits, but they do exist in my world, actually!

Mir are little feathered humans living in forests. They were enchanted somewhere along their evolution…

A portrait drawing of a person with feathers instead of hair, and pointy ears (also feathered). They have a greyish skin tone with little darker and lighter spots on it. Their nose is very smooth and their eyes are black. Their feathers have a blue sheen.

Spoke to my source familiar with internal workings at Mastercard. The holiday call campaign re payment processor censorship is working, there is a lot of pressure being felt from your calls. This is resulting in increased response times at a core moment for Mastercard due to the holiday season

for those who have accounts on itchio, could y'all leave a 5 star rating for Doce Fim? ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

we got some blank and/or obviously troll/spam 1 star ratings that tanked down the overall rating considerably, so i'd really appreciate it!

I misread this image so badly that I can only really hope to illustrate what I saw.

( Also a good excuse for an #art study )
A digital drawing referencing the quoted image. In the style of an early 20th century drawing, a woman in a dress holds a minigun. The text above is changed to read "Does the minigun make women cruel?"

Today I discovered that itch does have a "spam" filter, but it never alerts you when a comment gets flagged, yeets it away to a page that is so tucked away and convoluted to find most people will never see it, and only blocks regular comments instead of sus spam links from sus spamming accounts.
