Mood.

Father is actually really good with cats, but today the mood is “No.” From 2022/11/24. #OCFather #Art #SalOCs #TWEWYOC #OC #Cat #Kitten
Digital art of Father imagining himself holding a kitten with one hand against his chest. But his dreams vanish as the kitten runs away saying "MWAARRR". Tears form in the corner of his eyes.

Time for co-working & maybe more co-working. I have so much Not Fun Stuff to do, I'll see how I feel after the first co-working session.

I'll still be around to chat of course. Might be less talking than usual.

#splatoon #takotsuboheartbeat
Highway starry night showdown illustration. Octopus girl in ninja outfit stands there menacingly with giant paintbrush. There’s a limo in the back but it’s more than what they bargained for as it’s crashed and covered in ink. You see, in splatoon ink is thick and goopy like slime and it is the means for attacking one’s enemies.

This is a key problem with AI.

When you search for something weird using a standard web search, you get 0/limited/obviously wrong results.

If you have AI do it, it'll just make something up.

Essentially, it doesn't have an answer for whether you should walk or drive to a car wash, as it's not a commonly asked question (because it's stupid). Just like if you Google searched the question, you wouldn't find a good result because it's not a common question. 3/?

Cat Comcatibility - Chisa.

She gets a whole comic for her check! Unfortunately she tried to make friends with a cat That Did Not Want Pets.

Details + by horizontal panels below!
#TWEWY #OCFather #OCNull #OCChisa #OCSomeCat #Art #Comic #SalOCs #TWEWYOC #OC
Comic of a young girl named Chisa meets a cat. Part 1, Chisa sits next to an angry cat and says, "Kitty...! It's OK..." and the person behind her in green, called Null, thinks "Chisa!" and the man next to them, Father, is excited. Part 2, Father smiles as he thinks of the cat's cute paw while Null protects Chisa from the cat swiping her. Null glare and the cat runs away with a "MREEOW". Part 3, Null angrily approaches Father and says "You-!" but is cut off by Father cheerfully saying "See, she's fine!" He thinks to himself, "Besides, that cat can't kill her." Chisa calls out, ""N-Null-ren! Father!"" and places herself between the two, loudly saying "I'M FINE!!!" Part 4, Father happily replies "See!" and Null says "Chisa". Chisa goes on to say with her arms crossed, "Although, Father, I thought *I* would be more important than a cat." Father backpedals and trails off saying "Ah, no, Chisa that's...not...uh...".

Cleaned this feed up by removing tagged WIPs, etc. so more finished art appears! Unfortunately I haven't been good at using one art tag, but I think the filters I have now are pretty good!

If you'd like to see 30 random pieces of mostly my art check out this Feed, now with a new Feed icon #SalFeeds

General stream schedule update: I'm going to be cancelling Saturday's streams & try to do two streams during the weekdays. Got some life stuff happening that may need to be done on Sat so it'll be easier if I just cancel Sat streams.

Gonna aim for Thurs & maybe Mon/Tues streams.

Cat Comcatibility

Technically set after my #NTWEWY #AHDOCAU. Mostly features the main cast in the AU and my #TWEWYOC s.
#NTWEWYSpoilers
Minamimoto and a kitty saying RAWR at the same time. Hanekoma cradling a kitty and scratching their under chin. Father holding a kitty on his lap, rubbing their front paws. He thinks about "Fluffy kitty. Little paws. Precious beans." Joshua and kitty staring at each other in mutual distrust. Coco screeching at an innocently looking kitty "I WAS BEING NICE TO YOU!!" She has a scratch on the back of her hand. Hazuki says to a confused kitty: "Hello friend. Should I call you 'kitty' or 'wittle kwitty' like Father would? I've heard some animals greet with a handshake. Tell me friend, do you?" Hazuki attempts to wave and handshake the kitty at the same time. Mother offers her hand to a kitty but the kitty bites her hand.

(Yes hug. No hug. Maybe hug???)

#TWEWYOC

Father wants to give a hug but can't quite...Embrace it. But it's ok. Null understands.
Father, a man with long hair and an orange autumn patterned coat, gives Null, a non-binary person with black and pink tipped hair and a long green coat with an ivy pattern, a hug. Father is hesitant about the hug, while Null full embraces it, wrapping their arms around Father's shoulders.

A man with long blonde hair tied into a ponytail, winks and smiles, with his hands tucked into his orange patched coat flaring out around him. The text to the left says, "Made in Paint! (Win 11)". The text on the right has the names of each of the brush types written in that brush: "brush, airbrush, calligraphy brush, calligraphy pen, oil brush, crayon, marker, natural pencil, watercolor". It's signed "GramophoneTurtle".

Meet a new OC, Mikan, Father's cat during his Reaper days! She was just created today from a sudden inspiration strike from a friend. Made as a last day entry for VGen's "Adventure" Challenge!

Digital art painting of an orange cat with white paws and a nose looking down at a Hikari Muji Koi Fish, rising out of the water. Mikan, the orange cat, tentatively reaches a paw out towards the approaching fish as she crouches down on the ledge of a rocky and mossy pond edge.
