Character sheet in a colored sketch format of a heavily scarred, olive-skinned male original character wearing blue robes and then red robes. He has black hair with a grey patch in it, long rectangular earrings and a red cloak. To the left is a closeup portrait of the character.

Character sheet for a pseudo-OC I repurposed into a recurring character for my project The Tale of Zifa.

how the last 8 months has felt

ARTISTS! if you have an old drawing tablet that doesn't have any drivers available anymore or is just unsupported now, i HIGHLY recommend checking out opentabletdriver.net

my old wacom bamboo is now unsupported and you can't even get old drivers anymore, works perfectly (even in windows 11).

talked to death

Illustration of the comedy and tragedy masks, with the crying one blurred out

This mask always makes me laugh. i don't like to look at the other one..

I've noticed that a lot of art commissioners tend to hesitate when it comes to asking for changes and it makes me sad. If these requests are reasonable I'm always more than happy to do these changes! We artists are not psychics so we don't always get it right immediately and that's ok.

I'm stress-maxxing. I'm losing sleep pilled. I'm in my fuck fuck fuck era

I cannot describe how fucking happy it makes me seeing journalists just pointing out that they're lying. Once again, if you're calling, bringing up these articles as why you're calling is a VERY good idea.

Why are they lying? Why are they refusing to process legal transactions?

A big part of my stance against AI is like... we don't need to be making technological progress ALL the time. We're bombing innocent people for economical reasons, we can't feed everyone, our society is just broken. I don't care about polishing the turd with fancy tech, sorry.

people keep saying they want year round artfight and i’m here to hold your hands and tell you the greatest power you have as an artist is slam dunking random gift art into someone’s dms and watching them freak out

The script to oppose KOSA (the Kids Online Safety Act) AKA The Big Bullshit Censorship Bill is now up on @5calls.org

We’ve already seen the results of this over the last few days in the U.K. with their Online Safety Act (OSA). Let’s make sure it dies off again. Call your reps ☎️

Fanart of Sango from the anime Inuyasha (犬夜叉). She is in a falling / jumping pose with a blue sky background behind her, also holding her weapon (a big ass boomerang). Text reads: art by runalyr (me)

Just a girl and her boomerang…

🏷️ #art | #fanart | #inuyasha | #犬夜叉

This phrase is a clear sign they're were obviously targeting NSFW on purpose.

They're basically saying. "Soon the weebs will calm down, so we can move on with our mass censorship campaign."

Three panel comic. First panel is a featureless cartoon person sitting it a desk with a drawing tablet, happily saying "time to draw". Second panel is of the same person leaning close into the tablet screen, with a clock behind them, the pen laying on their desk, and three dots next to their head. The third panel shows the person and tablet from behind, with a screenshot of an empty digital art canvas. He asks "time to draw?" and in parenthesis at the bottom it says it has been 6 hours. Comic by Breadsticc Art.

it's one of those days I suppose

This doesn’t mean to stop calling by the way. The execs in those meetings are shifting the levers back ever so slightly so they can see where it is we’ll stop calling.

Don’t stop calling.

A Stripe rep hung up on me when they realized they told me they're disallowing "LGBTQ content" in transactions, so either they're slipping up more or just being more honest about their real intentions.

Keep the pressure up, keep calling, maybe start recording what they're telling you.

HEADER: Emergency commissions! BODY: Howdy y'all! I need a little help before my last semester of college. So, despite my job-searching this entire summer break (EUGH), I haven't been able to do things like pay for medication, pay for my share of rent, pay my bills without overdrafting, etc. for going on almost 2 months now. To say I've been struggling would be accurate. To tell the truth, I haven't had many commissions this year outside of both of my partners commissioning me whenever I'm in a pinch! However, I feel very small and like I'm a parasite because of this. ;_; Having been in starvation-type poverty prior to moving in with them, I feel guilty about asking for help outright. Despite my guilt, I feel like commissions give me some dignity. ART: A doodle of Harley Starling (he/they) laid out in a daze.

HEADER: Emergency commissions! BODY: With that being said... Peruse my wares! LIST: Logos and Watermarks are $35 to $45. Lineless art is $35. Lined art with minimal shading is $25. There is also stuff on my VGen, by the way. (Just saying.)

HEADER: Emergency commissions! SUBHEADER: Logos - There's a lot of variety here, methinks. Y'all get the idea, right? BODY: Do you need a logo for your latest original project (story, comic, indie game, etc - even if it's still a WIP), your Vtuber brand, your shop, or just for fun? Well, I'm getting an Associate's degree in this sort of thing soon, and I love making fun logos, lmao. I also offer logo redesigns for a reduced price. :] LIST: Original logos from scratch are $45. Redesigned logos are $35. ART: Various logos I've made spread out in an array.

HEADER: Emergency commissions! SUBHEADER: Lineless Art BODY: I'll be so for real with y'all, I love rendering out lineless art. It's just funny shapes and colors, and I'm so here for it. Because these are emergency commissions, there is no price difference between if the commissioned piece is full-body, half-body, bust, etc. Just 1 (one) flat rate here, guys. LIST: Lineless art is $35. ART: Various lineless art pieces I've made spread out in an array.

DON'T STOP CALLING.

email them if you want, sure, but the fact that they are requesting people to *email them instead* (presumably because emails are much easier to ignore) means that the calls are WORKING, i.e. becoming a massive nuisance and interrupting workflow.

once again, DON'T STOP CALLING.

I don't like to speak badly of people. I have grown up thinking and being told that if you cannot say something nice about someone, you should not say anything at all. But I must break that rule in this case because I hate Hulk Hogan very much. He is a big ugly goon and I want to squash his face. -Andre the Giant
