Deriaz

Black and white WIP rough painting of a snarling dragon in skin-tight armor and gold filigree accents. He has two gouts of magical flame framing his head, providing some dramatic lighting for his face and upper body.

Really quick black and white pass on a portrait WIP. Will be in color, though. c:

also i did it again where i kept putting off uploading finished things--ill try to do that throughout the week

I want to get a furby and modify it to have an internal battery so it functions with a visibly empty battery compartment.

Then donate it to goodwill.

@deriaz.bsky.social is so cooked

hgghhhhh big mans 👀💦💦

Am I Safe? :o

I cannot get over the shape of this man, every time. Good gods, Were. 💦

I wouldn't want it any other way.

we love boards... and the art... and the stickers... and the lines. The grinds. The manuals... god skateboarding is so cool, man. Kobold quietly yearns for the wheels...

For sure. When I was younger, Mom got scared about broken bones and things, and since I was very sheltered, I gave up the interest after asking her. But now, I'm like... Maybe it's the current climate of everything influencing it, but I'm kind of like, "If I get hurt, fuck it. Long as it was fun!"?

That's what I'm feelin', yeah. The anxiety flares up in my gut thinking of people watching me fall and struggle at my age for something people see for teens but... Yeah. Yeah, maybe thinking about the age is stupid. 🤔

Complete side note as I'm waiting for meds to fully kick in, but... Man, I'm 35. I've been playing the new skate. still, despite its big flaws. Makes me wish, once again, I learned to skateboard years ago. Got scared off when Mom thought it was too dangerous. Is 35 too old to learn to roll around...

Hell, what a cover. And by two incredible bands together, no less. This one's a keeper. 🎵 www.youtube.com/watch?v=PAMj...

Comm done for @coffee.cobra.monster !!

Yeah! It's one of the bits that made me want to share. I'm sure there's methods or ways it becomes more complex (those things -have- gotten crazy) but definitely how it feels when I've interacted with them when they were newer. Just a weird disconnect my brain can't, nor has interest in, navigating.

LRP: I still want nothing to do with it, myself, and will never use it for any part of my process if I can ever help it. But I do appreciate when people can put into words the feelings I've had at times, too.

Also, ratcopter is my Different December species.

Let’s talk about AI art.

what a fun fight heck

If not Chocobo... Why shaped LIKE Chocobo? In what scientists are calling "visually interesting but still pretty stinky like Chocobos," we must learn more...

Screenshot from Final Fantasy 14. A masked Hrothgar, wearing a mask of the horse-bird species known as a "Chocobo", stares at a strange green bird-lizard (A "Seikret" from Monster Hunter Wilds). Above the creature's head, it says, "Chocobo?" We here in the alt text know that, no matter what this creature is... It is a baby, it is a good boy. What a good boy. Yes you are, yes you areeee. whats your name huhhhhhh what a pretty boy awwww yes you areeeee

Don't worry, ya'll. I'm on the case; my entire brain cell is working overtime. I'm about 70% sure this must be Chocobo... But it doesn't smell like one. Hmm...

So, all my sketches are now cleared out. I have one more character painting, then two portraits I need to do. I still want to get a bit of stream/sticker-ish work done, and a YCH idea maybe. But still on track to open by later half of the month, if things go well...? Maybe Halloween-ish?

Love this one. Great stuff. 💚

2025 Furry Species Census Survey

2025 Furry Species Census Servy

Once again I bring you a furry species census!

The last time I did this in 2023 y'all submitted over 10,000 characters! I wonder if we'll beat that this time?

Survey: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Formatted Results: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Sorry, iguanas. I know there were-- oh god were there only 5 of us last time?-- but my heart goes to Kobold now, even if I kept some iguana bits. ;u; I can't believe I killed 20% of the iguanas...

Thanks for doing this. These are a lot of fun. Can't wait to see the full results! 💚

Additional note: He set the Assistant name to Corrupted Vor's monologue from Warframe for a while. So when timers or reminders came up, it would take over a minute and a half to stop yapping, even if I yelled at it.

this man is a menace w/ tech do not trust him he will lead you to ruin (i love him)

The biggest middle finger to messages like that. Sorry you have to deal with it. You don't deserve that at _all_. :( Sending you all the love that I can digitally. And with any luck, this shit storm will pass you and us all. It will get better. It must. We can't let it not be. 💚🍻💚 Keep your head up.
