Gonna keep my complaints separate from the post this time, but it's such a shame that for even a small, not so detailed image, line quality and vibrance still both have to be wrecked in the same blow. Do better, bsky. 👎

Does it ever sometimes get scary to show off a meaningful piece of yours to even a close circle of friends? I know I shouldn't be fretting too much. People have lives and are often busy. The anxiety is often hard to help though, much in thanks to how often people have simply walked away, before.

I think I'm having a bit TOO much fun with the character connections setup on ArtFight... Especially with my SF FCs. Sure, due to the type box limitations, the quality isn't my usual, but I'm sincerely hoping that it might spark ideas for passers-by in the future, y'know? ^^ Here's hoping. XD

Tfw character connection links on ArtFight can only fit *checks notes* 511 characters, punctuation and spaces included. Gee, THAT's oddly specific. XP 550 would have been more generous without overwhelming anything, imho. >FD;;

Heh... Well that's a first. >FDc One of my less-focused on StarFox mains got their only attack yeeted into the void by an account deletion. (Guess you and Kamota-kitty are on equal footing again, now, huh Salamander? XP)

Whew! What a relief! I found helpfor that ArtFight nonsense after all! I'm honestly truly grateful! QwQ Now to deeply apologize once more for the public meltdown. I need to keep those under... A little more control, let's just say. XwX;; So really, I'm sorry anyone hadto see or be put off by that.

This kind of meltdown and confusion happens EVERY year during ArtFight (usually over "prop" vs "scene" ratings), so if this unsettles anyone, I deeply apologize. I wish I didn't draw such confusing pieces sometimes. I never know what to do when no one's awake to be a 2nd set of eyes... Or a 3rd.

Also, I find it strange that @artfight.net claims to have DMs "open for ArtFight-related questions only," but they are simply not open, whatsoever. ...Did they chicken out or what? Sooner I can rate my piece properly, sooner I can post it and take a well-earned break. 😭

Internalized screaming as I realize I don't know what to rate a character in ArtFight between fullbody, halfbody (feet obscured), or simple-shaped character. Even more as I realize there's no one to direct this exact question to, late into these dang witching hours. .... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA >|,D;;;

Dang, ngl, I have mini source of frustration over when something is abruptly cut off in an OST vid on YT. Beginning or end. Every time someone's posted SF2026's version of the Warp zone, notes being missing from the beginning is dang near 100% of the case.... Why even IS that? XwX;;

First, two fence fires a month ago. NOW? Seemingly spontaneous ceiling collapse in my Mom's bedroom. Guess I won't be getting my own room back for a good while longer.......... (Friendly reminder NOT to wish ill on people you don't like. Someone unrelated/innocent could be living with them.)

tfw your new comments have more tired energy than excited energy and you were honestly hoping to still carry the latter into all of that. I probably should take a break today. I can't believe I did this to myself.... <|,D;; Kinda don't want to though because I want to revenge AF attacks so bad rn.

-sigh- Next on my checklist... More grounding. A few more replies... Then some actual ArtFight work. If anyone knows how many seconds I should wait between sending comments, I'm all ears! I'm not repeating the same mistake twice, at risk of a mental regression like that. Absolutely NOT!

Okay, I admit it, I'm a salty, whiny, hypersensitive crybaby and I deserve NO friends for the way I act. Just ignore me, please, for your sanity. I beg you... I've never regressed so hard in a long time, and it's showing in such a way that would push about anyone FAR, far away....

"You're commenting too quickly, please slow down" AT LEAST HAVE THE DECENCY TO SAVE MY FORM FILLING, PLEASE TO HECK WITH RETYPING ALL THAT!!!! Can't stop hating myself for forgetting anything I wanted to say and now ALL JOY HAS BEEN SUCKED OUTTA ME. Good job, 11/10, would do again @artfight.net

Thinking of my character, Makal, and how she MIGHT appear in the SF 2026 style... May or may not be onto something (unlike my struggle with what a Klawzorian would look like, haha. XD)

Speaking OF that Avaika piece from days ago... I decided I'd draw one of these for my sister, @lonelywindofstars.bsky.social, too! Here's her StarFox FC, Amethyst Frog! ^^

Thinking about how absolutely CURSED Klawzorians (fanmade space-alien species) would look in the StarFox 2026 style is absolutely sending me rn. >X,D;; Would it even actually WORK!? <X,D

Late night/Early morning Avaika scribble. I need to stinkin' SLEEP, dangit! >X,D;;

LRP(s): Better safe than sorry. While these could already read as obvious scam attempts to many, warning those few who could be caught off-guard is absolutely necessary. Please stay safe out there and leave the page entirely if you see this on ANY website.

RT myself to save a life. This one was heinous. Remember for whom the bell tolls — all phishing attempts are stupid and obvious until the one that catches you when you’re exhausted, high, disregulated, or old.

I'm honestly impressed at the fucking audacity of this malware-installing ad. It had put something in my clipboard that would have run a virus installer if I'd followed the instructions.

if anything A N Y T H I N G tells you to open power shell/terminal for any reason you can immediately treat it as a malware scam and act accordingly (leave the premises)

AOSF, it's sunrise. GO TO BED.

You know, I know I shouldn't, but sometimes I wonder what kind of a person I am. It's a strange question to ask oneself, yes, but it sure beats my crippling lack of self awareness at times, doesn't it? We all need to step back and reflect now and again... but... am I overdoing it?

To whoever out there might be wishing me or anyone I love ILL, just STOP. This ends NOW. I've had TWO fires happen close to my home, 6h apart! I fear for my 30 years of artwork, and I'm THIS CLOSE to losing my marbles to a possible hyper-vigilance that won't allow me to rest easy at night. AT ALL.

One of the things that sucks about migraine postdrome (so like... AFTER the debilitating attack) is how vague a time it can be. From how long it lasts to whether or not a migraine is gonna bounce back into being to torment you another day, should you misstep.

I seem to be having a prolonged anxiety episode and I kinda just wanna apologize for that. No one should have to deal with those things, even secondhand. Everything I poured out the past few days comes from a place that has yet to truly heal in any capacity, and I take full responsibility for it.

Anxiety bites.... I might have once more opened up a bit much in a conversation, not long ago, and I seem to be paying the price for it in a deafening silence. Hopefully one that doesn't take three years to realize just how much I messed up again, but not in what exact ways.
