The reds pretty consistently gave me issues.

They're turning the rocks woke. 🏳️‍🌈🪨 😔

I graduated in 2016... same dream. Or I forgot where the class was/got lost.

Faint, by Akatsuki from the album AA

A little more ado, I'm gonna highlight my fave track:

akatsuki.bandcamp.com/track/faint

AA, by Akatsuki 13 track album

Anyway, it's pretty solid Techno/Breakbeat, so without further ado:

akatsuki.bandcamp.com/album/aa

The reason I couldn't find it for so long?

Band name: Akatsuki
Album: AA
Song titles: Almost all different
Album cover: Also different, inverse colors from the version I had

I get a crumb of joy in these trying times.

Finally, without doing anything sketchy to remove DRM on the original files... I can just... buy it. And have it on my DAP.

HOLY SHIT, STOP THE PRESSES!

I just found an album I'd been looking for for literal YEARS. It was so hard to find any information on it anywhere online, and it was taken down where I had originally bought it (iTunes... I was an early adopter).

It was on Bandcamp! Been sitting there since 2010...

Might make some more again soon. The trick is, just fry it in some oil for 3-4 minutes per side on medium-high heat and it's perfect.

Also, just a dash of maple syrup on top when it's done is really tasty, trust me.

I was wondering why I woke up to a lot of Bsky notifications. Thank you!

Like the Tide, Inevitable.

I've heard a few good things about Stoat. I believe it's based out of Europe, as well.

I have not actually tried it thus far, but they had a pretty strong influx of new users, so might be a good sign?

They're a neat character, I look forward to it. >:D

The expression is really fun!

All that to say: Maybe I can give it a shot again, now that I really don't have much of a barrier to entry. 🤔

I've actually done animation camps and stuff waaaay back. My biggest barrier to entry used to be expensive software... but now things like Procreate and Clip Studio Paint have animation built in.

I think I used to use Windows Media Player and Paint Shop Pro or photos & scans and a light table.

I remembered I can animate blink cycles. #art #animation #OC

Redesigning Ocha a bit.

Some of the changes include total rework of head and neck anatomy underneath fluff (mouth is underneath and very arthropod-like, I'm also working on a special threat display but the anatomy of that is slightly challenging) and a purple shift on the browns. #art #OC

Maxxed, but too committed to the bit to use it to its fullest extent.

A monster for Aether Nexus.

yeahhhhhh

It did become healthier! They worked through their individual issues. But the three of them were fundamentally very different people and it's super normal to grow apart after school.

... Yeah, I think the people being weird don't have the best media literacy. Did. Did they watch the show? Did they notice some of the main themes when it came to the human characters and how they interacted with each other? Or were they consuming only feel-good fanfic?

It's like writing in Comic Sans, you don't take it seriously, so ironically you do better.

Sketching on lined and/or graph paper, my beloved art block slayer...

The sketching is going well, drew Iris next to her a few times to get a feel for how they look together. Next step is updating ref sheets and updating fashion... #art #OC

If you see this, it's your turn 🫵

Sketching weirder Ocha, just doing some expressions to test it out.

Might give her species mandibles something like Eunice aphroditois, and just have grooming/tasting/grabbing mouthparts at the more visible section... Gonna have to do some anatomy research.

Having a language barrier (written, body language, spoken) in any way really makes a group split off from the majority faster than anything else. The autistic community tends to be a little insular from communication barriers.

A step in the right direction would be teaching sign/braille...

I did make a version of her that was more buggy...

torn between wanting to make Chitun face anatomy secretly very buggy and just making it obvious

I want my MC to be expressive still. I could just emulate Alfonse Elric... 🤔
