saltydracon's back in the gnosia mines (100/100) @saltydracon.bsky.social · Oct 17
Hi, I'm PJ. I mostly shitpost but I also talk about art, writing, video games, and statistics. I love shonen anime, psychological horror, and collecting artwork.
Art by SaltyDracon. The style is a digital color under a paper sketch. In the foreground, a young-looking man with slightly tanned skin wearing a simple white robe with long orange hair talks on a cell phone and smiling, with a comic-style cutout revealing he's talking to a fat Mexican woman wearing a blue and white dress. She has brown hair in a braid, a pink bow in her hair, and an angry expression. In the background of the scene with the man. there is a brown boy wearing a blue tank top and khaki shorts. He is making the Family Guy Death Pose, lying on his side with both of his arms behind his back and one of his legs bent. A mixed media piece by SaltyDracon. It depicts a boy with tan skin, long dark brown hair, an orange tank top that is loose enough to reveal top surgery scars, and Indian style earrings falling headfirst through the blue sky towards a sandy earth below him. He is smiling. An experimental mixed-media piece. The background is entirely black, with a sketch in front colored in pink and orange. The sketch seemingly depicts a girl wearing robes, with a ponytail and messed up hair. She is wearing Indian style Jhumka earrings and has a despondent look on her face. A mixed media piece by SaltyDracon. In the foreground, a boy wearing a white kimono with long golden hair sits at the top of a bell tower, with the bell hanging above him and a clock below him, looking over the city below. Behind him are many buildings. The sky is dark, indicating it is night.

consider: brain dysfunction from the hundred line soundtrack except it keeps playing that 5-note run in insane president/naixatloz's intentions from the aitsf nirvana initiative soundtrack

no reason, i just know it would screw with some people

bro, do NOT fuck with the saw trap surgeon
A mixed digital/traditional piece by SaltyDracon. It features a side-portrait view of an anime style old woman with long, wavy hair that fades from white at the roots to black at the ends. She is wearing a white lab coat and black mock neck sweater

WAKE UP DEAD MAN WAS SO GOOOOOOOOOD

OK like actually though, Gnosia Episode 8, marrying a number of reveals so perfectly and giving us such a horrifying adaptation of that one event? Cinema. Banger after banger, and the end-of-episode next loop reveal was the cherry on top. I was going crazy.

Hop on. I'm begging you.

My newest unhinged web dev/web design monstrosity: I made this webpage that has 29 letters in alphabetical order, but when you view it on a narrow screen it says "sphinx of black quartz, judge my vow". And if you click the button you get more colors.

The pain of being a hobby web developer is that like, I'm out here creating shit that is technically very impressive but no one besides other hobby web developers will understand how impressive it is.

Artists, I know you feel the same. My solidarity to you.

Degree was cheaper if I did a certain major at a certain college. And very heavy pressure from my dad to do this one.

At least I can support myself now. And I don't hate my work.

Heartbreaking: Guy with super pretentious opinions about some story-heavy JRPG makes friends with girl who likes the game for what it is.
A traditional anime-style drawing by SaltyDracon. It depicts a boy and a girl, walking and talking. The boy has somewhat long messy hair and wears a hoodie over a sweater with a collar. On his shoulder, he's carrying an ita bag. The girl has a ponytail and glasses. She is wearing the same sweater, but she's wearing a puffer coat instead. She's carrying a crossbody messenger bag in front of her knees, which has one charm hanging from the hardware. The same image as the previous one, just zoomed in a little.

I tend to pretype a lot of my thoughts out in Notepad files and then delete them but sometimes I just type something I have. absolutely no context for when I look back
Untitled notepad file. The only text inside reads "HOLY SHIT" with six exclamation points.

This week's Gnosia episode was PEAK! Wow, the adaptation's freaking amazing, giving insight into strategies that I'd never even considered while playing myself.

Also, best possible way to introduce that particular character. HAHAHAAAAAA

I often think that I'm terrible with grammar in my own writing. Let me tell you, that fear's been dashed from my head. No matter how bad my writing looks and how bad I am at proofreading, at least I'm not the guy who wrote the thousands of emails that were released from a certain guy's estate today.

I'm refreshing the AP election results tracker. I'm not believing the results until I see 100% of votes in. Anything can happen, never say never. I'll only celebrate once it's all over.

the hundred line 🤝 process of elimination 🤝 digimon survive

I sewed this thing.

Ordered a precut leather kit from Pop Sewing and sewed it together over the course of 7 hours. Kinda amazing how good it looks lol
A small satchel hanging from a doorknob by its crossbody strap. The satchel is dark brown while its front pocket and buckles are lighter brown. The stitches are white. Same satchel as in the previous image, but zoomed in a bit on the purse section.

It's insane that practically overnight, because of iOS liquid glass, Frutiger Aero became the design philosophy again. Acrylic design didn't even have one year. Damn
