Hey there!

Decided to shout out into this abyss as well. I’m Zyana Wyvern, or Idunn the Dreamer on Tumblr, in case we’re moots, and ofc, Zia on Discord.;))

I’ve been a Bsky lurker for quite a while, but I’m thinking it’s time for more. I’ll probably start with some VP soon, but we’ll see…😏

It's Clover's birth month 🍂🦊
He doesn't know the day, but he's sure of the time of year-- when the frosts begin to creep in.

✥ #bg3 #clover

A young man with long, wild red hair and fox ears perches on a tree branch, framed by the fire-colored leaves of October. He wears a green cloak that intertwines among the branches almost as if it's a part of them. The man is cast partially in shadow and gazes at the viewer uneasily with tired, wary eyes.

I loved this analysis and I interpreted things the same way. It is strengthened by a codex written by Felassan who confirms they took over the Vhen’theneras. I recorded the whole thing months ago and had planned to record all of them but life happened lol

Love and Deep Fade? Here's Solas in Zayne's outfit from Love and Deepspace🫴✨️ #lovanddeepspace #solasdragonage #fenharel

Solas from Dragon Age clothed in Zayne's outfit from Love And Deepspace. He is clothed in a white flowy robe that is open in the front, leaving his chest and abs bare. His chest and abs are adorned in various golden chains. There is a heavy golden belt on his hips. He is wearing a golden circlet and there is a black and gold collar around his neck. Behind him is seen a blurry night sky in tones of blue and purple.

[Inktober 2025, Day 5: Deer]

His skin and hair as white as a deer, his skin glowing. Like a wild animal you met by accident in a forest clearing. So free and so serene. Majestic. Seeing him was a privilege and Fin once again was in awe. Llywe was a god walking among men

#art #inktober #oc #ocsky

Digital Black and white piece for Inktober. It shows an albino man taking off his long and flowy robes of his shoulders, showing his bare skin on his back. His hair is long and it flows on his shoulder. There are two halla horns on top of his head. The background resembles rings on the water after it being disturbed by sth

I do also see the bright side in everything and with this occasion I decided to start creating gifs. I wanted to do this for a while, but it has emboldened me. VP is already looked down upon and it is my favorite hobby so seeing such things puts such a damper on it. cp77 was my vp school btw😅

Ziana (Idunn) Wyvern @zianav.bsky.social · 6d

Ooh please don’t worry about yanking it here! I’m glad you did because I will be hones, I wanted this to reach more peopl, but just as you said, I’m also anxious about the possible uproar and am not in the right head space for fandom drama as I’ve seen plenty lol. But yes, fully agree!

Obviously I've ranted about this re: cyberpunk community but i was just reminded that I am at least, 99.9999% sure this has slowly leaked into da spaces, specifically solavellan over on tumblr. And it's really really really really gross and disingenuous

Post by zyana-wyvern

VP will slowly become a lost art if we continue being blind to AI gifs that are circulating in certain circles. I have always said that, in general, video game photography is not fully understood nor appreciated, even though VP creators work enormously to achieve the pics you love and consume.

Consume, yes, because it all boils down to consumerism and the fact that an AI gif, or VP, will give you a quick fix and a scene, or angles you cannot achieve in-game. Maybe that quick fix and strong dose of dopamine is the problem on both sides, for the consumer and "creator" of an AI video or GIF. The "creator" chases the praise high and gets addicted to it, while the consumer has their fantasies fulfilled.

I will not delve into the issues AI presents, as they have been extensively discussed on Tumblr. Still, I will get into the utter disappointment and hopelessness I feel as a VP artist when I see 1000 notes on an AI gif, while the photos I take with great care and thought (and reshade tweaks, angles, mods, colorization, post processing, etc), get 100 at best, and over 500 on a good day.

I have a side blog I will link here one of these days, where I create quite a lot, and the time I put into every photo is precious, and yet I, too, could just whip up a very damaging AI program to do all of that for me in mere minutes. I have more dignity than that, not to mention my ego cannot take the backlash I would get if I did admit to AI usage. And yet, people who do not admit to their work being AI get hailed and paraded around like heroes. Rewarded not only for the usage of AI, but for their dishonesty as well.

Just a rant that I needed to get off my chest...

Heyy there!♥️ This is my post and the sideblog I’m talking about is actually DA themed, and yes, what made me write it was exactly the same “content“ you’re referring too. Me and friends have been absolutely seething for the past few weeks. There’s so much too, not just a few scenes... Alas…😖

Does it count if I have already slept 6-8 hours on some days during September? I mean technically it is a prompt I’ve completed already and it can be used During the event.😌
