So.

We've been denied financial aid, and the surgery is not being considered "emergent" thus no bypassing pre-payment. Which means we HAVE to pay on the date of surgery, which is later this month.

I'm going to be offering these portraits for anyone donating $50+ to the gofundme, details below

I will be putting your name into my commissions queue, which you can follow at bit.ly/sorotrello

👑Soro🦊 @sorotrax.bsky.social · 1d

Email me with a copy of your receipt/your name as well as a picture of who you want in the portrait (your OC, your sona, your pet) and you'll get it in this scratchy style on a standard printer paper size.

If you already donated $50+, you can do the same.

I haven't been online really because of everything happening in my life, so I actually have 0 idea why people are talking about not migrating.

I WILL say that I'm also not leaving, even if I disagree with whatever is going on. LRP said it all, Twitter was enough. I can't start from scratch again.

This right here. I love my art friends and art community, but I'm also trying to run a business as a freelancer/selling products and I need the reach! Every time we scatter to different platforms it's a little harder to exist as a working artist whose primary visibility is only online.

As much as folks might not want to believe it, artists who sell their work cannot survive exclusively on platforms that cater to primarily other artists. The Circulating The Same Five Dollars™️ model can't feed us or pay bills for long. We need places where we can be seen and discovered.

Hey y'all, Lee was approved for a surgery that would literally change their life. However, living in America means it's really hard to pay for medical costs alone 🫠

While I'm still doing commissions when I can, we opened a GoFundMe. You can donate and view the explanation here:

This Witch Mark is for @stillforest.bsky.social, thank you!

A domestic black cat looking ferocious holding a branch in it's mouth. The branch is on fire, and hanging limply over it is the body of a demon in the form of a serpent. The cat's claws are bared, it's left paw striking down. Beside the paw is a sigil that looks like three jagged claw marks. The sigil means "force unto me begets harm".

This Witch Mark is for @ravendruid.org, thank you!

A branch from an old, dead tree emerges from a void in the shape of a diamond. On it's branches sits a resting raven, with thoughts of the tree come to life again. Below the branch grows new grasses and flowers.

The same image previous with inverted colors.

Life is a little stressful right now, needed to do some vent art.

A dragon is collared and tethered with chains of gold and harsh starlight. It's head is facing the dark sky, breathing clouds of smoke and smothered fire. Two gold tears escape it's eye.

trespassing 🐾🛑 sticker design until the 30th on my patreon!

#art #indigenousart

a formline design of a wolf, coloured in bright orange. the formline wolf is laid over a few layers of a disjointed scene: a chain-link fence, with a snarling semi-realistic wolf drawn behind it; the top half of a concrete building; and lastly, a dark backdrop showing utility poles and street lights in the distance. a couple lights give off a lens flare.

This deity is for an anonymous client, thank you!

black and white illustration depicting a serpent made of fire, grasses, and scales. It's wings are plumes of feathers, and it is flying over a calm ocean.

A coworker recently came to me with news about how a project was shut down, a project I knew wasn't going to be in motion until a year or two down the road. I absolutely understand where he might have gotten this "evidence" from now that I've seen it. It's fucking abysmal.

I got tricked by the first ai video of people I've ever seen. I feel confident in being able to see through gen ai images, fortunately. Videos though?? Oh my god I was SO unprepared. I can only imagine how easy it is to prey on our parents and grandparents, let alone kids. It's really scary.
