well my evening didn't go as anticipated. my parents got in a car accident that was no fault of their own. luckily it seems any injuries are minor, but sometimes things don't show up for a few days. car is likely totaled.

debating if I want to bother applying to any more zines for a while. the point was to get better at working under deadlines and tackling my anxiety of 'Art For A Thing because what if they hate it', as well as portfolio fodder. but if I can't even get into them, it feels a bit pointless.

This is a brand new illustration by Yoshitaka Amano, and you can see him painting it in this video interview: www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWY5...

Hey folks, I often do posts calling for indie developers to link me their games so I can signal boost them. Today I want to do something similar for all trans creatives.
If you are a trans game dev, artist, writer, streamer or YouTuber, reply here with a link to your work. Only one rule: no GenAI.💜
