Double A

I guess now's as good a time as any to ask about alternatives to Paypal, because that's who I've been using for commission payments up to now.

What is it with people thinking artists can only ever do/be one thing at a time

"So what you're done drawing porn now" no you idiot I wanna draw cute stuff right now, do you think going outside for a minute means you're homeless now and you can't ever go back inside? It's not the Mandalorian ffs

Good to see you posting again - seemed like you went quiet for a long while there.

art by @doubleeh.bsky.social: a mermaid with pale skin spotted with blue and purple and long purple hair explores a sunken ship, her lower body is that of a giant octopus, the ends of which are mostly hidden in the murky darkness of the ship's hold. One long tentacle is visible around the body of a cannon which seems to have fallen from the deck above, crushing barrels and boards and a pile of cable with a rusted cutlass stabbed into it. She holds a battered and corroded bronze lantern with a cracked lens in her webbed hands; what looks to be a fork and a small lidded box protrude from a bag of netting and woven kelp on her back, the strap around her bare chest decorated with the remains of an old brooch. Green light just barely breaks the darkness in the ship's hold through cannonball holes in the hull and the broken deck above her; fish are just visible in the background, and a seastar sits on a surface in the foreground. The mermaid looks directly at the viewer, eyes wide, seemingly taken by surprise.

Another (belated) #MerMay pic with Bonnie

T-thanks you too

art by @doubleeh.bsky.social: a mermaid with shells, beads and pieces of sea-glass braided into her hair and around her wrists and neck explores a sunken ship. Her dark skin gives way to blue and purple scales on her shoulders, forearms, back, fishlike tail and the edges of her face - her purple eyes have thin, horizontal pupils like an octopus or cuttlefish. She wears only a pouch around her waist made from fish skin and seaweed. Inside a shipwreck overgrown with sea-plants and algae, she curiously regards a ruined pan flute, the wood green and rotting, which comes apart in her webbed hands; a similarly damaged lyre floats nearby, several broken strings trailing through the water, the dingy murk of the ship's interior is cut through by beams of sunlight shining through holes in the hull behind her.

I wasn't expecting to do anything for #mermay but fate had other plans. Ended up going with Samantha for this one, and I'm quite pleased with how it came out.

All MY attempts to find a "real" job have ended with me getting ghosted. I have not interacted with a real human being at any point in this process in almost 6 years.

And that's when I can even find something that doesn't require 5-10 years experience and a Master's degree for "entry level" work.

You're doing a lot better than some of us are, even if you're not doing as well as you'd hoped you would.

Hang in there.

Not to be "that guy," but Eva Gabor's (the voice of Duchess) accent was Hungarian, actually!

I have mixed feelings on the gnomes, gnomes, gnomes, gnomes, and gnomes - but the dings, Zen, washing things and pretending I have a stable income, a successful business and the respect and love of my community (even if we happen to live near an active volcano) are all really nice. T'ah for those.

Someone... actually added a misophonia warning. Never thought I'd see the day. 🙏

Rolling around at the speed of Ow

Character belongs to @specialkev800.bsky.social !

Oh nice! I wasn't sure whose she was or if they were on bsky.

Request - Anon's clown-girl OC.

Hey guys. Sorry I've been so quiet again. I'm gonna be trying to post a few pics from this summer and thereabouts - the last few months have been rough for me, mental-health wise.

Can you just like... let users see that information when they want to? Put a link to it somewhere reachable? I didn't get a chance to save a screencap when I got the popup because I thought I could see it again later, and it turned out that wasn't the case.

Still The Best
1973

I've been struggling with depression/anxiety for a long time now, and recently they've flared up - it's especially impacted my ability to take/work on commissions; and a lot of what I draw for myself, I don't feel is high enough quality to post anywhere - which is a bit of a running theme for me.

Some sketches I've drawn of Friend's OCs.

The pointing Wojak meme, recreated with Fawn (red-haired young man with green eyes and metal ear cuff in a black and white jersey) on the left and Bella (young woman with brown eyes and brown hair with a pink tank top, puka shell necklace and bracelet and pink hairband/bandana) on the right, pointing at an absolute heckin' chonker of a frog sitting in a pond behind them, obliviously minding its own business; in the foreground, Binie (young woman with white/platinum-blonde hair, blue eyes, and a blue-handled golf club under one arm, a blue polo shirt and a blue bow in her hair) is physically offscreen but visible in the screen of her cell phone in selfie-mode, looking less than impressed with the scene before her.

Fawn and Bella's friendship is built on a solid foundation.

That foundation is "they're both idiots."

Happy Easter! Have a Darby.

Art by doubleeh.bsky.social/@art_doublea: A nude, chubby, dark haired girl with big breasts and puffy, inverted nipples, wearing a red choker and a silver hair clip, looking at a dripping condom in her hand, filled nearly to bursting and stretching like a water balloon under its own weight as she holds it up in shocked disbelief. Text: "Dude... holy SHIT! How long were you holding THIS in?!"

/aco/ request - also something something Valentine's Day.

NSFW Art by Double A: A postcoital scene with Pebin, a skinny redhaired boy with blue eyes and glasses sitting askew on his face lying naked on a pelt bedroll with Bonnie, a girl with celtic knot tattoos on her bicep and thigh and long purple hair, cuddled up to his side. Her eyes are closed, a contented smile on her face, while Pebin seems more stunned or surprised. Their clothing is strewn about the area, they're both sweating/blushing, and Pebin is covered in lovebites, scratches and hickeys. His erect penis and her thighs are dripping semen.

Request from /aco/ - Anon wanted their geeky mage Pebin losing his virginity; I wanted to draw barbarian Bonnie again. Everyone wins.

Neat. When are you letting us post gifs/webms - or drag-and-drop pics to upload?

And drag-and-drop interface for image uploading. There is no reason to have to dig through an entirely new popup when I already have that folder ready.

Ok Bluesky - but why can I still not even post gifs, let alone webms?

Seems like it defeats the purpose to have to put stuff on twitter just to link it here, if your goal is to get artists to join up.
