there's a particular problem with being restless with how you approach "style" as an artist because part of the artistic puzzle-solving process becomes "using several different tools until one really clicks" across the entire process from thumbnail -> sketch -> lines -> color (+ anything in between)

Please contact your senators about the SCREEN ACT, which is moving through the senate commerce committee TOMORROW And while youre at it, demand opposition to KOSA and the KIDS Act as well! www.congress.gov/members/find...

What can you do? CALL. WRITE. SCREAM. The bill is up for a vote THIS WEDNESDAY. Call your Senator. Dem. Republican. Whomever. Right now, it's a solid R bill, but they're looking for Dems to take it across the finish line. Let them know how badly it stinks. www.defendonlineprivacy.com/screen/

comm for @cmddog.com involving a magnet that should not work like that?? new invention: pants magnet (pantstent pending) i learned a lot doing this one (including how much i actually do prefer krita to SAI now that i've gotten very much used to it lmao)

(2023) ok last one. thought for sure i'd posted *this* one at least but i guess not? anyway would you like to try my mysterious glowing green goo in a tube? i bet it tastes good (lying)

(2023) rose admiring something she's working on. i hope that's not paint water in her mug,

(2023) bunnny on the rocks. got my whole wiener out and everything

(2023) rose accidentally slipped between pages of reality and found: me. for some reason. doing my weird bunnny shit

(2023) probably the most fashionable i've ever been in just a t-shirt and nothing else. oh and synthi's there too. smoking in the kitchen. terrible

(2023) synthi's not even aware you're staring at him. or maybe he is idk

just realized there's some stuff i thought i posted on here like 3 years ago that i did not, in fact, post. time to remedy that

i'm going ">:D"

synthi and gin and gin's bad habit and synthi's bad penis. gaaays 🎨

ok, i think this is done 🎨

i hate it now!! oh well. it was an experiment and i learned stuff, so it's not that bad

remembering i want to redo this one at some point when i'm not treading water (it's from the end of 2022) i am going to eat a building!!!!!! 🎨

synthi is mostly legs and boner i think (this was *supposed* to be a simple warmup, what the fuck happened??)

The SCREEN Act is not just another age-verification bill — it goes much further than anything passed at the state-level or in other countries. 1. The bill doesn't just target porn sites. It goes after *any* site that allows material "harmful" to minors. You'd have to scan your face to use Google.

i remember the first time i ever got really behind on a commission (a long-term relationship was ending + i had to move several states away) i wouldn't allow myself to do personal work until it was done (not even like, a post-it doodle) and, my advice: Don't Ever, Ever Do That

@cmddog.com you (finally!!) have mail aaaaaa

i can confidently say this commission is getting done today, i am 100% in the home stretch and it feels like i'm climbing out of plato's cave after choosing to roll around in its depths terrified of the shadows on the wall for months. a metaphor plato would surely slap me with his huge pecs over,

going offline for a bit again because i'm getting sucked back into Posting and Reading Posts instead of working (and i am *so close* to done which makes the Being Online Too Much thing even more annoying); not deactivating my account this time but i *am* gonna log out for now!

added some links to my profile because i forgot there weren't any. oops

aforementioned thingy: redid an old piece just because am bunnay (knife version) (now i sleep + tomorrow hopefully finish work thingy??)

so desperate to get myself to do...anything, that i tried getting SAI2 to work again. good news: the 32-bit version works correctly! bad news: it's the 32-bit version so anything past a few layers at the resolution i work at hits the RAM ceiling instantly. fuck (related: 2025 work i never finished)

rose says bark bark bark bark bark bark bark bark!! (i think i finally really have a good handle on these brushes + this process and i'm really liking it a lotttt) (time to do real work with it lmao)

finally: a weird late-90s-ish eve warmup from yesterday. fox fox fox (i've been not doing/posting my warmups because i felt weird even doing them when i've got work to do but it's probably part of why i got burned out again: not balancing things correctly then wondering why i crash & burn pffthhhh)

some 2021 arts i'm not sure if i posted here yet; korki + synthi + julian (Very Tall maned wolf i don't really draw anymore), and a lone synthi with a very pointy baseball bat. why's everyone smoking all the time >:|

oh! here's some gin doodles from 2020. bunnyyy

ugh my joints are starting to get back to where they were before my elliptical thingy exploded. my empire of dirt for a [various low-impact exercise devices and money to afford such] or a [body that isn't shit from a butt] or both (if the second option was doable i'd just get a cheap USB DDR pad)
