Blue-Ten (Commissions Closed)

Charter was the $90/mo ISP I stopped using. Unfortunately, they are the only broadband/fiber provider in my area, leaving 5G Home Internet as my only other option. Anyone else here use cellular home Internet? Is it decently reliable?

I saw the question going around asking which tablet type artists use, display or non-screen. I have a screen tablet and I love it, but the great thing about them is most have a driver option to use them in non-screen mode, for when you want to give your neck some rest, haha

Thanks! I wasn't keeping track, but it was probably around 6-8 hours total.

DnD Commission! I'm almost done with my backlog now!

Forgot to mention this here! I shut off my Internet service so I can save that $90 per month for taxes. So, if I don't respond to messages right away, that's why, ehe.

Maybe I can find a cheaper ISP after this is done xD.

Two OCs, from left to right: a woman with feline features and a man with an eye patch smile and clink their shot glasses together at a bar table.

An OC commission from the latest set! Two more to go c:

I want to put a little positivity out there and say I'm super thankful for my commissioners being so understanding and patient during times like these. I'm super lucky to have found these gracious folks who want me to draw things for them ;v;

Feeling healthier! Trying to ease myself back into commissions and, hopefully, pages soon ;v;

Oh! Same here! That just unlocked a memory for me, haha. Back then it was called "Jasc Paint Shop Pro"

I want to say thanks so much for the donations, and also sorry for the downer posts about my health recently ;v;. The ko-fi help took so much stress off, I feel like I can recover in peace this time, so thank you again!

I feel so defeated by my own body, oof. I just want to finish my backlog, make art again ;-;

My chronic pain has once again caused me to fall behind on work. Got some bills coming up and can't open more commissions, so I'm gonna mention my Ko-Fi and shop again ;v;

My fav pencil brushes are there, Ch1-3 PDFs, and bonus art for donations :)

Yeah, it's this. California's labeling laws are so strict it makes it look like every product is radioactive or something xD.

Been feeling sick for a bit, so I found this 2021 Luna illustration and recolored it to get some practice back in c:

For reference: Photoshop, Krita, GIMP, and ArtStudio all allow for this behavior and it's so nice for my process ;<;

Bless the art programs that let you pick colors from the active mask instead of the parent layer.

An old Everblue illustration. Dagger teases Luna about her relationship with Ten, while Ten and Gun react in the background.

An remake of the old Everblue illustration. Dagger explicitly teases Luna about her relationship with Ten, while Gun reacts in the background, and Ten seems oblivious.

Just realized I never posted this here! A redraw of an old TWC vote incentive that I never felt quite captured the degree to which Dagger would tease :B

Still one of my favorite sketches xD

Dagger corrects Luna on her headlock form 🎨

My health situation for the last 4 years has been a cycle of two weeks of chronic nerve pain in my neck, followed by lengthy migraines, followed by maybe three months of respite -- and I keep needing to remind myself that this isn't normal and that I shouldn't beat myself up over "lost productivity"

Here's some more artwork I recently did for
@dndbeyond.com's #LegendsofGreyhawk by
@baldmangames.bsky.social!

These were giant wallpapers that I worked on in 8k resolution -- super challenging, but I had a lot of fun. Just sharing a downscaled version here, of course :>

Thanks so much ;v;. Honestly, I've been having a tough time, but the next page is sketched and I'm really looking forward to getting back into it!

Luna and Ten from Everblue dressed up for Halloween as a witch and a scarecrow, respectively.

Sneaking this in before the end of the day! Happy Halloween!

I'm really proud of these, especially the design for the bartender, hehe

Aah, thanks so much!

I need $16 by the 25th to pay the hosting for Everblue this month, so I'm just gonna mention my ko-fi ;v;

The Shop section has Ch's 1-3 in PDF format, plus my favorite pencil brushes for CSP/Photoshop.

Also, any donations get access to some fun Everblue concept art!

I got CSP running on PopOS (an Ubuntu-based distro)! I installed it through a program called Lutris and followed this guide for the compatibility settings: bsky.app/profile/pete...

My tablet worked without any extra driver installs, I just had to set CSP to "Use mouse mode" for the tablet in prefs

A cool outfit I wore for my sister's birthday a while ago.

I've ended up really appreciating Flatpak for that reason. On Pop_OS I'm stuck with an older kernel for a while, and therefore an old GNOME desktop, but I can at least get the latest versions of apps [as long as they maintain a Flatpak, haha].
