Hey, instead of yelling at people about not using Alt text, if it's really important with you, post the alt text in comments.
Accessibility is important, yes, but let's not forget that people have different levels of energy to provide them.
It is not always malicious intent.

i think the accessibility features on bluesky are great but because i don't use the platform often, i always forget they're there. whenever i post my art, i post the same thing on all my socials at the same time, so it's a lot of copypasting.

Been working on a theme song for Variant Realms for a while, and so far this is what I got. I want it to feel like anime I watched growing up in the 90s and 00s. youtu.be/GHU6mNGm__U

Updated cover of my novel Stolen Darknesss!
"Ten years ago, Archsage Magnus made a decree that hid a dark secret from the younger mages of Eleo Valley. When his second-in-command is murdered, he is forced to reevaluate his decision or else his idyllic home is overrun by dark magic. "

Fiona, Westwind, Icarus, and Dorothy
Man I started this back in...2018?! These are characters from my Methyean story, that have since been cut.
Fiona is a female knight who excels in tournaments. Icarus is skilled in plant magic and Dorothy wants to follow in her mother's footsteps

Been doing a lot of traditional art lately.
I feel overwhelmed when I go to digital art right not. Just going back to sketching in my sketchbook is freeing. Gets the imagination going. I can feel like I can draw "crap".

I know people are gonna come at me saying it’s messy, but I love the look of just seeing the hair color instead of linework. I just let my stroke taper off as if it were an ink brush. It makes it look more natural to me. It also allows for extra wisps of hair if you’re feeling fancy

"Shattered Fragments"
The characters in my comic feel they are walking on a thin sheet of glass. If they stop, they'll fall into the endless void.
The print is up in my shop at www.bexatthedesk.com
