I started a new page cataloging the cool independent online stores I've discovered and not gonna lie I wish they had nice link banners or buttons I could use because regular text isn't cutting it.

Having to skip a few CuteGirltober days... but tonight was the bi-weekly drawing meetup in Toronto. The theme was to create an autumn monster, and I'm thinking... maybe a fae creature? Like kinda dark, cunning, subtly menacing— aaaaaand dangit it just turned out […]

A pencil drawing of a fairy-type being, resembling a young woman with a long mess of stringy hair, caught up in a pair of tree branches emerging from her head like antlers.  She has large insectoid wings on her back, which resemble decayed leaves of which only the veins remain.  She's wearing nothing for clothing, except for scattered leaves covering her bust and lower body.  She's seated on the ground, her legs crossed and knees up in front of her, with her head tilting to one side as she looks at the viewer with a suspicious little grin.

@gnomon Aw man, my Friday is spoken for 😔 (but this reminds me to finally watch the existing Tron movies sooner than later)

Day 6: Amy, in idol mode :D

(Skipping ronan so I can draw him on his birthday x3)

#grandchase
An alcohol drawing of a girl flashing peace signs with both hands while smiling brightly. Her hair is tied up into a side ponytail with cat baubles. She is wearing a choker with a heart dangling from the center, a crop top with a zipper down the middle, belted suspenders, and a miniskirt with spats underneath it.

hey wanna see something kinda interesting? this was the entire fix to the iPhone Antennagate in 2010. 20 bytes.

(this is going to be a very long thread 🧵)
Assembly code between iOS 4.0 and 4.0.1. It's basically the same except one instruction points to a different address. A lookup table tweaked between 4.0 and 4.0.1.

Day 3: Arme- candy alchemist!

#grandchase
An alcohol marker drawing of a girl holding an alchemist's pot with candy magically bursting out of it to her chest. She is winking happily and her hair is tied in two chunky braids. She is wearing an alchemist's uniform consisting of a jacket over puffy shorts.

(Eep, falling behind 🥲)

...Okay, I'm kinda liking this look for Ceilidh

#cutegirltober2025 #oceilidhtober #art #MastoArt #illustration #JSSArt #JSSCeilidh
A drawing of my original character Ceilidh, a young woman with long hair that's somewhat disheveled and falling in her face.  She's standing slouched, with a skateboard hanging from one hand.  She's wearing a red plaid unbuttoned shirt over a T-shirt, baggy jeans with some tears in them, large boots, and some prominent headphones hanging from her neck.  Her expression is one of tired annoyance.

Inktober day 5: “Deer”

#inktober #inktober2025 #deer
One-panel comic.  A man is seated on a chair, hiding his face in the newspaper he is trying to read.  Behind him is a doe, nagging him.

Doe: “Are you going to do the laundry?”
Man: “Yes, deer”
Doe: “Will you take out the trash?”
Man: “Yes, deer”
Doe: “It’s not like I have opposable thumbs, you know”
Man: “I know, deer”

#CuteGirltober Day 4: Ribbon

#cutegirltober2025 #oceilidhtober #art #MastoArt #illustration #JSSArt #JSSCeilidh
A line drawing from the hips up of my original character Ceilidh, a young woman with long hair and big messy bangs.  She has her arms up behind her head, tying her hair into a ponytail using an enormous red ribbon tied into a bow.  Judging by her facial expression it is proving to be quite challenging, but she seems determined.

#CuteGirltober Day 3: Fairy Kei

I had never heard of this before, but... I kinda dig it :BlobCat_MeltThumbsUp:

#cutegirltober2025 #oceilidhtober #art #MastoArt #illustration #JSSArt #JSSCeilidh
A full-body drawing of my original character Ceilidh, a young woman with long hair and big messy bangs.  She's wearing a very cutesy outfit in pastel blue/pink/yellows, with a t-shirt, miniskirt, striped knee-high stockings, ankle boots with ruffles, and an oversized hooded coat.  She's looking at the viewer with one hand up to her face; the oversized sleeve is flopped over her hand and is hiding a mildly embarrassed expression.

Cutting it so close to the date rollover @_@

An alcohol marker drawing of an elven girl waving to the side. Her hair is tied up in a ponytail with a feather accessory on the side. She is wearing an archer's outfit and holding a bow.

#CuteGirltober Day 2: Checker

I'd like to think she made this herself out of a tablecloth 😆

#cutegirltober2025 #JSSArt #JSSCeilidh
A drawing of my original character Ceilidh, a young woman with long hair and big messy bangs.  We're looking up toward her as she bends over at the waist, arms behind her back, looking down at the viewer with a happy excursion.  She's wearing a simple dress with a very conspicuous checkered pattern in red and white.

@mrencyclopedia sigh

I'm personally going to be stubborn and keep using my own fork. So far, making it compatible with modern PHP has required changing all of two lines of code

(I ought to learn how to submit pull requests)
bigraccoon.ca
@mrencyclopedia Pico relies on each .md having a date (or some custom enumeration) for serialization. It's actually super easy to modify a template to ignore pages *from the future*, so you could upload post-dated files to "queue" them.

You have to upload a .md file as metadata for each image […]

-lets me post a simple chronological series of images along with some text
-can ingest a large number of images all at once

Day 1: Elesis + sporty outfit :D

Hope I can keep it up for the rest of the month :'D

#grandchase
A drawing of a girl with long red hair tied into a ponytail holding a baseball bat over her shoulder. She is wearing an unzipped sweatshirt with a hood over a crop top and athletic shorts over leggings. Her other hand is shoved into the sweatshirt's pocket. She is grinning with a lopsided smirk at the camera

in case anyone is curious about the underlying cause of it being impossible to migrate a mastodon server from one domain to another, this limitation is due to the activitypub protocol itself, which (simplifying for brevity) uses the equivalent of absolute/hardcoded URLs for posts

@vga256 I always have terrible luck when deforming a flat texture to match line art, so I've consigned myself to always do it by hand. (Plaid skirts are always a double-edged sword 😔)
bigraccoon.ca
@vga256 Thank you! I drew it by hand, one layer of vertical lines and another layer of horizontal lines, with the top layer set to "invert". The methodology was sound, but wow did it look bad at first (the pattern did not match the perspective, like a stereogram gone wrong). I took way too much […]
