As a follow up to this, I totally don't have a problem with remembering I should post the art...

I totally don't have an art commissioning problem. Nope, not me, definitely not. Nuhuh. This catboy definitely hasn't gotten to the point of having to make a Trello to keep track of what's been requested

Noooope.
*In denial*

You're even more cool than the art, and that's a very high bar. Thank you for being awesome Amalia!

My desk is a mess of cables at the moment, so I'm awkward about filming it.
But I worked out how to use a wi-fi powerboard to turn on my Camera and (non-smart) Lighting panels from an @elgato.com Stream Deck

I can record a tutorial if people really want though.

Honestly, not even surprised

For context, that would allow you to stack them so you've got more buttons and dials in one space.

But also way too expensive for my purposes...

I... Finally understand why people want bigger streamdecks. I kept thinking, why not just use pages and folders. But that's inconvenient when you've suddenly got a bunch more stuff you want to do.

Kinda wish the streamdeck studio wasn't so expensive and worked with the app store (in non USB mode)

Today, I'm going to finally finish fixing my no repeat clip player. The whole backend API change on purple streaming for how clips are saved broke clips that are a newer format as clip players were using an "undocumented feature".

I finally worked out a solution for it. It feels cursed but it works

I think one of the hardest things about getting art, is when you get the WIPs back, you just want to share them because aaaaa they look so good already.

I will be strong, I swear. In the meantime, have a finished one

GODS DANG IT. Lemme repost

... So long as your not crashing out didn't involve slamming your fist on the table, causing you to re-fracture the hook of hamate you broke 4 years ago :amaliasCry:

*Shifty eyes* definitely not a recent experience

I do actually. And some artists have done it already as part of YCHs. It's just drawing up a character reference. It took me a year to get around to doing my first 🤣

I think it's the eternal challenge of challenger vs established. It might eventually make it, but there's gonna need to be more failures from twt... Sadly

While bluesky isn't as popular, the vibe and experience is so much better. Anyway, related but also not, here's my reference 🤣

As promised, to celebrate reaching 300 bsky followers I’m hosting an art raffle…for a fullbody illustration!!

- like, follow, repost
- (optional) reply with a ref of your OC ~

Ends on January 31st 🌿 | #artraffle #giveaway

The number of times as a male OC character I've gotten rejected for a commission (I understand, I appreciate, and they're entirely right in deciding they're not comfortable drawing so), I kinda want to genderbend rule 63 a ref sheet just so I can get more art 🤣

Something I've always hated about that other site, is that for some reason **any** time I send a DM to someone to ask about a commission post they've made I get flagged for "suspicious activity", and have to pass a captcha. Then the message gets eaten and I have to re-type it

No plans, only chaos

Artist goals for 2025:
So that I've got a list somewhere

✍️ Draw for myself/my own OC
✍️ Get better at expressions
✍️ Do more challenging poses
✍️ Post more on social media (including cross-posting)
✍️ Work out how much of My own art/vs art done by others for me I share

The adventure continues ☺️

Oooh, I recognise some of those

I started this a bit after PAX (that's @megaa.bsky.social writing her name during pax), and then tonight I reckon I redrew it almost completely about 6 times.
I finally worked out why people hide part of the chin behind the shoulder. ...this pose is hard...

Last night I was late to streaming, but there was very good reason I assure you.

And at midnight it ticked over to my twitch affiliateversary. Busy today unfortunately, but maybe I should arrange a belated anniversary stream

Ever since the exodus of people from Twitter to Bluesky I keep getting 🌽 bots following me there every 6 hours or so. Part of me wonders if it's the site itself responsible for the accounts, trying to make it like people are actively interested in you

I either art, or I play more Factorio tonight. And I can't decide which. I kinda want to tweak my reference sheet some.

But the FACTORY MUST GROW

Since October 21st, and the release of Cractorio's Space Age DLC, I have put 85 hours into it.

... And that's with a full time job

It truly does deserve the name Cractorio

RIP to my sleep schedule.

When I went to #PAXAus earlier in the month, I decided stickers were the go. So I took the design I recently finalised as a #YCH on Ko-fi, but with my OC, and got them printed.

I think they turned out pretty cute. And I have almost none left.

#art #sticker #roomba #nyoomba

It's very nice. Reminds me of very very early on on twitter, and to a greater extent, what Google+ was like for a long time for both art and photography

10k raffle time 🥹 winner will get a sketch bust as a prize!

Thank you everyone for the warm welcome here and for the amazing support! 🥺💕

Been trying to work out whether I should share some of my photography as something people can get as prints, via my streaming. And share it on social media.
Problem is that it makes it easier to link my streaming with irl stuff...
Opinions?

Second page of my notebook, 4th piece I've done on paper in the last 10 years (I only started again on paper 3 months back). And yet I almost feel I draw better on paper than digital

Art of the lovely @amaliasolaris.bsky.social

The slow reposting of things I've done continues.
