Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑

Frustrated little dude gripping a pencil saying “how do I pack this down into something I can actually share?” While swirling rainbows labeled “INFINITE POTENTIAL” float around them.

Little dude frowns at a tiny grey box, exclaiming “all that work for THIS?!”

Little dude shoves the grey box into another little guy’s hands; Frowning, stomping off, and saying “Here you go, I made this, it sucks.”

Second little dude cracks open the box, swirling rainbows project out onto their face.

Second little dude stares in awe at all the swirling rainbows now floating around them.

I'm doing a poll about general directions on my art side projects!

There are spot prizes, it's three questions and would help me out a bunch to know what to prioritize!

These were back from when I was baby gay and first kinda realized I was more sapphic than not. So I drew the gaybox art; then. my friend suggested the fabulous coming out of the gaybox.

Also two bonus sketches, because you deserve it.

[ #furry #furryart #babygay ]

A short comic. Panel 1: Upside-down box labeled "Gay". Panel two: Two eyes peek out from the slightly raised box. Panel three: The box has returned to not having eyes. Panel four: A leggy with toebeans sparkling hasexploded from the box where the eyes first were.

Two cats, one ocelot one domestic looking fluffy cat are curcle up on a lillypad under the shade of a second. A waterlilly is behind them, I (the artist) would decribe it as whimsical.

Is is just humidity? I found it horrific coming back to wet Auckland 30'C compared to the dry Texas or Colorado 40'C.

That's always a pain. Some of mine ended up being vestibular migraines, it's chilled out a tonne since I got on preventer meds.

About 5am usually, if it's earlier than that I try to go back to sleep :'D

You can't just drop these with no lore 👀

When you are interested, Matti B's brushes are what I used and there are often sales.

mattyb.gumroad.com

I use a bunch of brushes from The Big One and I'm seriously considering the plant/foliage brushes also.

I have had this as my iPad background since I first saw you post it. I have no regrets.

It takes a little while to get into the new workflow, but other than a few weird iPad OS issues, I find it's pretty intuitive after a while.
There are also some great brush packs if you're into that kinda thing!

It's so unhinged I don't even know, lol. This is one of those "bro, are you ok?" posts.

What is this rock you speak of?

I wouldn't wish this on most of my enemies, the inflammation, nor the pain and day-in-day-out fatigue. I started referring to myself as an invalid because boy howdy when you can barely get out of bed and feed/water yourself for weeks it sure feels like that's a good descriptor.

Eugh, that's absolutely no fun. It doesn't sound like my pain is as high as yours has been/is most of the time, and thankfully I've found a medication that works once I got diagnosed (Crohn's and chronic migraines), so aside from the occasional codeine my lingering symptoms are the fatigue.
