not especially funny but multiple people flipped their fuckin wigs at the suggestion that Small Business Artists should maybe possibly cool it on making a bunch of merchandise out of straight up plastic and consider what happens to this material when it is inevitably trashed/lost
What’s the funniest reason someone got mad at you on Bluesky this year?

To go slightly deeper into the core question this story asks;
For some "how much would you sacrifice for love" is an inherently romantic question, and if your answer to the first question the game asks you - "Who were you trying to save" - is a romantic name, it is that for you.
But. (1/3)

Nox Dies is getting traction for some random reason, so let me talk about one of the most personal projects I have ever made.

I just want to say to everyone out there who considers themselves not an artist:
Spite towards AI is a 1000% valid reason to pick up a dang pen and start drawing!

QRP with some pieces from 2025 you're really proud of! 😎
I don't consider myself much of an artist but DAMNIT if I didn't really get into it this year!
With barely any prior digital art experience, this year I picked up a dang pen and just started drawing out of spite towards the slop machines. 😤😤

It is Sunday, which means that it is exactly and specifically one week until #WolfBride launch.
Why werewolves? Why a werewolf #romance?
I have always had a special interest for wolves. Honestly, the only thing I am surprised by is that it took me this long to create something like this.

And finally, the last portrait of Azar, the Season of summer.
The description also had "redhead" as a defining aspect of him. With Azar we went quite much back and forth with his outfit, as I did not want it to be a typical "summery" outfit due to the militant nature of him as a character.

After winter, spring comes!
The spring is the time of rebirth, the end of winter and cold. It is the time of warmth and light.
But for Calev, it also has the aspect of getting up, being reborn, turning a new leaf, even when you would wish to remain stagnant, still and clinging to the past.

It is time for more character portraits!
On the right you see my description of Ze'ev, the Season of winter, and on the left, Fae's rendition of it.
I'm looking forward to her thoughts on making these, because I imagined Ze'ev slightly different. Then I saw the art and changed the writing.
