Solar @solarfox6.bsky.social · Nov 18

Guess I should finally get a pinned set up 😺

hey! I'm Solar. I'm a disabled, autistic, & white queer artist

Some things to say:

🌍 Global Land back
🍉Free Palestine!
✊🏾✊🏼✊BLM✊🏻✊🏽✊🏿
❌Fuck isntreal!
❌Fuck colonialism!
❌Fuck capitalism!
❗Punch Bigots!

General art tags on page:

| #myart • #art • #oc |

Example of users art for the pinned post, this picture is a flat colored piece of two of the artists Oc's. Pan, a skull-masked Satyr/tiefling and Enoch, a mummified lich. The characters are sharing a small nuzzle of affection. Enoch is wearing a twisted antler like crown and a magically-enhanced cape with purple flames acting as flared collar. Pan wears a crown made of teeth and bone with an opal-like blue gem in the center.

im almost positive its because i use a vpn and more and more websites are basically making impossible to use one

Solar @solarfox6.bsky.social · 6h

all my arts p much unsalvageable there. i havent posted actual art in years since the ban

theres literally no reason to nuke my account after that.

i dont post shady shit, i dont do anything but talk to a few friends and occasionally reblog some stuff.

Solar @solarfox6.bsky.social · 6h

i didnt have much going on but like... ive had that account i think since around 2011-2012. it has sentimental value at this point and i use it to keep up woth friends who havent made the move to other sites.

this fucking sucks, what a joke of a website

This is a warning to every artists and clients using PayPal: Leave the note blank or send invoices. Apparently even saying "commission" makes them trigger happy. #SaveSpeech #StopPaypros

Since Link is banned, his mutual aid Fridays have gone with him. This was one of the most altruistic things I’ve seen anyone on this site do.

In light of this, I’m gonna try to fill the gap.

Drop your mutual aid requests under this thread and I will repost them for as long as I can.

idk man

i know theres a place for humor and showing the hypocrisy when its so stark and in our face how detached from reality it is

but i feel so many people arent really connecting that... this isnt new

its just the same lies are being applied HERE now.

Solar @solarfox6.bsky.social · 2d

it only seems weird and funny because we can physically see the lies.

maybe, then, we should be less focused on how humorous it is to call portland a "war zone" and more focused on thinking about all the cities just like portland we have destroyed with the same rhetoric

i wonder when my fellow white americans are going to realize all the things theyre saying about cities like portland and chicago are all the same things they said about places in the middle east.

Lol the Nobels can't even acknowledge women's contribution to discovery. But sure let's acknowledge The Machines.

Headline from an article in Nature this week that states "Prizes must recognize machine contributions to discovery. The future of science will be written by humans and machines together. Awards should reflect that reality."

You think you're playing it safe not sharing Mutual Aid, that it will be better to keep your head down and not help.

I hope it never comes time for your turn to beg for help only for everyone around you to bury their heads in the sand.

Disability is inevitable.
Mutual Aid is Anti-Fascist Action.

this game makes me feel like im back playing ps2 games for the first time and idk how to really explain it

i guess just having an extremely strong artistic style that it adheres to, but also that it uses different art styles to convey mood and tone

Solar @solarfox6.bsky.social · 2d

im not a big fan of the olympos group designs and somehow this game is making me care for them so hard just through sheer artistic determination of the creators

you can feel the love the artists had man

sometimes it looks like an actual anime or movie

Screenshot of the first time you meet with Neptunemon who sits atop a beautiful coral throne. the light filtering from the seas surfacr above illuminates him. the cool refreshing blue tones are contrasted by pops of vibrant reds, purples, greens and golds.

screen shot of the blue light fading, the red has taken over the screen and cast itself over neptunemon as he sinks against his throne. the cool blue light rapidly retreats and the light above loses ground to the encroaching dark

red has fully taken over the scene, the light above no ominously shines a blazing intense spotlight on the darkened throne. the entire space is now deep blood red

Solar @solarfox6.bsky.social · 2d

the art direction is actually insane and people are going to sleep on it because its digimon :(

screen shot taken from a cutscene in digimon time stranger. it depicts two creatures of monsterous forms: one of a fish like humanoid inspired by lovecraftian tales named divermon and the other a kaiju or dragon like creature based on a mollusk named shellmon. A voice over reads "The pair grew closer and formed a deep friendship" The image itself is framed like a shadowbox or shadow puppet theater with beautiful false cut outs overtop of a clean and refreshing blue color for contrast.

screen shot taken from a cutscene in digimon time stranger. it depics a violent scene of crumbling paper that seems burned away. A voice over reads "One can only wonder... was this series of tragic events truly unavoidable...?" The image itself is framed like a shadowbox or shadow puppet theater with beautiful false cut outs overtop of a foreboding toxic red for contrast.

Solar @solarfox6.bsky.social · 2d

im not even lying when digimon time stranger has made me feel art related joy and happiness feelings i haven't been able to for so long when it comes to (non indie) gaming

its really just a beautiful game.
