A fanart of two female light novel/anime characters- Sorawo and Toriko from Otherside Picnic.

One woman has short, black hair, a white shirt, and a red hoodie looking into the distance with an exhausted expression and loose body language being held by the other woman with long blonde hair, a white dress shirt with a blue ribbon, and a close eye solemn expression in a pond surrounded with grass under a blue, cloudy sky.

A portrait illustration of a woman, Michelle from the indie game, Sorry We’re Closed. She has long neon blue hair placed into curled sidetails. She is wearing a white t-shirt with a blue border with the words “Fish Fight” written in orange on the front, with a fuzzy, neon pink jacket on her. She is wearing green star earrings and a solid purple-black collar necklace as an accessory.

Two female video game characters (Kat and Raven from Gravity Rush)- one girl with blonde hair with brown skin, and other other with black and red long died hair and lighter skin- are embracing each other sitting on a bed in front of a green curtain, situated inside a giant sewer pipe.

The blonde girl is on the left of the girl with black and red hair, blushing and smiling as she is about to be kissed by the other on the cheek in their hug.

Art of my OC, Aimee, standing and posing with a peace sign wearing her high school uniform in a kogyaru/kogal style. Chibi heads of Aimee with different expressions (winking kiss face, crying, and smiling) are on the left of her.

Do you need a contractor? I've got a track record of leading scope-friendly script revisions late in dev. I have also done a lot of consulting on new IPs and pitches/demos. Feel free to DM me!

and hey on the topic of ID laws

do you really trust Bluesky, whose admin and c-suites physically cannot stop themselves from posting-through-it, to be able to hold onto your fucking govt ID and not leak it in a data breach like Discord?

these policies suck, they are dangerous, call your reps

My employer’s remote work policies are changing, and Salt Lake City isn’t “commutable distance” from Boston, so I’m looking for a new job. If you’re hiring software developers to work on something that’s prosocial and technically ambitious, DM me, or check my website for my email.

old mizuki WIP i never finished painting (and it shows)

[ #art | #genkibutchart ]

A young girl with long curly blue hair tied up into a ponytail with bangs is mid-walk. She is wearing a long yellow jacket, a grey dress, and red boots. She is posing with her arms crossed and is looking at the camera with a smile. Her face is highly rendered compared to the rest of the painting, as this is a work-in-progress piece that was never finished.

looking for a way to find any #Procreate or #ClipStudioPaint brushes/materials shared on BlueSky?

check out the “Procreate Brushes & More” and “CSP Brushes & Assets” feeds to find new materials to try or have your own stuff featured using any of the tracked tags for either feed.

Screenshots of the Procreate Brushes & More and CSP Brushes & Assets feeds are featured on the left with doodles of sparkles and a butterfly around for decoration.

On the right of them, a message saying “Share your original brushes and art resources (and recommendations) HERE!” is featured with white drawn arrows pointing to the screenshots. On the lower right corner is the OP’s watermark, stating their artist name, “genkibutch.”

All elements are placed on a blue gradient background rectangle that is on top of a dark grey background.

[ #TinierMe ] got nostalgic and drew somebody familiar from my past

#art | #genkibutchart

Two digital illustrations of Selfy, a mascot from the now defunct anime-styled online game, TinierMe.

Selfy has long, straight pink hair worn down with bangs, and wears a dark blue sailor school uniform with white highlights adorning the sleeves, a pink bow, dark blue stockings, a pink skirt, and grey tennis shoes.

In one illustration, she is standing while giving a peace sign close to her face with her left hand/arm. She is holding a bag designed of another mascot of the same game, Kokoro, who is a grey cat with white and yellow highlights.

In the other illustration, it has Selfy winking looking at the view and smiling in a bust portrait.

In the top right corner, a picture of Selfy as she was in game is present for comparison.

The background is dark grey with an orange/yellow gradient organic shape.

my take on toriko!! i see her as mixed black/japanese personally, so here we are lol

#art | #genkibutchart | #yuri

Two illustrations of Toriko Nishina from the light novel/manga/anime series, Otherside Picnic. She is wearing a white dress shirt, a blue bow, and a long, blue skirt. The left side of the illustration is a bust of Toriko looking towards the viewer with a smile, and the right side includes a 3/4 body where she is standing and holding up a white sunhat while winking. Toriko is portrayed with blonde, curly hair, a button nose, and bigger lips in this portrayal to reflect on the artist’s headcanons of her being mixed race Black/Japanese.

my #TGAA / #DGS piece for transition and turnabout: a trans #AceAttorney zine!

in this artwork, haori/rei is intended to be transfem & is exploring gender expression with susato/ryutaro here 😊

#art | #genkibutchart | #yuri

Around them is a deep green-blue patterned wall and clothes scattered across the floor and room to imply changing clothes previously. There are portraits in the room that show vague images of other characters in the same game series.

this is my art done for a collab in BEST FRIEND: a #pegoryu zine!!

i worked with @/northerndxwnpr, the writing mod, and we had a good time! ☺️

#art | #genkibutchart | #BL

A digital illustration featuring Joker/Akira Kurusu and Ryuji Sakamoto from the video game, Persona 5. Joker has black glasses on and a black school uniform blazer with a white turtleneck sweater on under it. Ryuji has short blond hair, brown eyes, and is wearing the same uniform blazer but with a yellow shirt below it.

They are sitting close to each other inside a restaurant- with napkins, glasses, and seasonings in front of them- and staring into the other’s eyes while blushing.

Joker is drawn in a way that reflect’s the artist’s headcanons of him being Black/Japanese, including curly hair, darker skin, and other black features.
