It's wild waking up in 2025 and seeing a Homestuck meetup happening at a local con this weekend.
Getting to dust off and refurbish an old 2013 cosplay feels so wrong yet so right, but now im in con crunch mode 😅

I dont "NETWORK", I do not "keep a consistent schedule", I don't try to make my art "stand out" on people's feeds. I POST MY ART. And if it flops, I DON'T CARE.

I'm just waiting for the moment my brain decides to forget how to compose good poses and lighting like this, and I'll just switch styles and ways I color. It always happens.

I said this to my friend last night and I think it's a good thing to think about:

If no one else, make art for your younger self. Make art of your ocs that your younger self would have dreamed to be able to draw. Make art that would make them keyboard smash an excited reply to. Make art for you.

The "alien cat" plushie is literally the softest plush I own no joke. They make the perfect cuddle buddy for those who like to sleep with a teddy bear.

Oh goodness no, myself and some others I know make it a goal just to attack 1 person a year even if it's a friend.
The last couple years feels like people have made it into this giant thing you have to do & pump out a lot of art, but no one should do that

Take it at your pace and set your own goal

Don't let it intimidate you! If you only doodle one character that is fine. I love using ArtFight as a way to test out brushes and styles. I never aim for a lot of attacks just pure silly lil gifts

The heat is melting Frio (not really, but it is hot). Bring him some water!

#arpg #artrpg #isoarpg #isomaraisland #petsite #webgame #indiegame #originalspecies #furryart #art

Frio, the anthro isomara, is in the sweltering desert surrounded by mountains, cacti, and hot sand and dirt. Isomara are fluffy winged dragons and are a part of the Isomara Island ARPG which is a virtual petsite like Flight Rising and Neopets.

Check out my ArtRPG, Isomara Island. It's a great way to test your creativity, passion for art, and it's built for all levels of skill whether you're a beginner doodler/ writer to a pro painter/author. I drew the art here!

Lots of our players are on ArtFight too ;)

TW - Mention of animal death; general vent about life

Shit keeps happening and I have to keep moving forward... It feels wrong to try to force things back to normal.
#triggerwarning #depression

Trigger Warning - Mention of animal death; general vent about life

In the last 30 days I've had to deal with too much shit and I'm honestly so mentally, emotionally, and physically tired. I haven't had to feel and deal with this kind of compounded negative happenings since '18 and prior to that '15.

Our sewage lines had to be replaced, roof fully replaced, our dryer broke leading to get replacement parts and hours of manually fixing it, the kitchen faucet broke, husband caught covid... which led to me having to take care of him for nearly a week and sleep on the couch since he had to be quarantined, lawn mower and weed wacker broke, many many days of terrible sleep, one of my dogs drowned in our pool so oh boy new trauma there, and now our dishwasher broke and here I am with stomach trouble, depression, and on 3 hours of sleep cause now falling asleep, waking up, and to top it off showering alone and imagining myself using my pool ever again now triggers me.

In 30 days we've spent nearly $40,000 USD, lost a dear pet of 15 years, and gained new trauma.
I know I live a good life, and I can get through it, I've been through similar stuff, but not to this extent and it's breaking me. Drawing is difficult, playing games or watching TV is hard to do, but if I let my mind wander for even a second my heart hurts, the tears well up, and it becomes hard to breath.

Shit keeps happening and I have to keep moving forward...
