Whenever I see other creatives (and also sometimes myself, let’s be real) wonder what it’s all for given the state of things, I feel this so much:

Lord of the Rings: Samwise's Inspiring Words to Frodo

Alt: A gif from Lord of the Rings wherein Sam says “that there’s some good in this world… and it’s worth fighting for” when Frodo doubts the point of it all.

Finally took the time to go through this tutorial on adding @seeeeew.de 's AI Disclosure Warning extension to the Steam app. Super easy, very clear instructions. Much love to @zwei2x.northsky.social for recording this 💖

Good day everyone, how would you like to have a 30 years old Cid Highwind FF7 dragoon pilot man in briefs on your feed today? 😁 There's even two NSFW-er versions for supporters... 👀 #zweinsfwart #ff7 #cidhighwind

Might remove my link buttons and go back to just links ffs... 😔 It was too good, they have to ruin something.

I think link moderation is a bad idea.

Love the new update with the link buttons on profiles. I would say "good job" to Bsky's devs, but let's be honest, it's probably Claude or some other clanker who did the job, not them. 😆

I'm in a weird "my brain is bored" phase. Maybe I should think about a giveaway to spice things up... 🤔💭

And with this, I decided to take a break from the not-quite-dailies for some time! 38 is already a lot, but I want to tackle some other things for now!! ...and rest, my brain's been acting up a bit... 😅

I normally don't care about clankers following me, they've always existed on the internet, it is how it is... But be you of flesh and blood or zeros and ones, if your profile picture is GenAI, I'm blocking you instantly. 😤

The Bioware news feel like a tragic story moment. A sort of "Although it was not the Bioware I once knew, it was still the Bioware who gave me so much." The downfall and eventual closure was extremely predictable, but I forgive myself for being a bit sad about it. 😔

Playing around with concepts for Visual Novels / Farming Sims / Dating Sims / Otome game assets. Do people usually prefer side-facing (2/3rd face) busts, like Fire Emblem, or "facing the player" / front facing busts? 🤔 #zweiart

A bit lost and aimless right now if I'm being honest. 😅 I'm thinking maybe it would be a good time to make those busts/portraits assets for Visual Novels, Farming Sims, etc. I had in mind to do for public/commercial use... 🤔 Here's a (nsfw) mock-up I had made of Alex, Stardew Valley! 🏉 #zweiart

Hey everyone, I made a small tutorial video for my friends on how to install the AI Disclosure Warning and SteamDB extensions directly in the Steam APP on Windows. That way, you get those QoLs directly in Steam! Enjoy and pass it along! 💜 www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-qQ...

It’s sad some clients believe they’ll annoy the artist if they recommission them again As someone who’s commissioned many artists and does commissions too, I’m telling you artists have no issues with reoccurring clients; infact it’s usually an honor for them most of the time!

piggybacking off this: the most powerful sales technique in the world, for pretty much all of human history, has been word of mouth. If you like something someone made, TELL YOUR FRIENDS. Tell everyone. Leave reviews. Repost. Talk about it. Link to it and link to the artist. We depend on YOU.

Most creatives literally cannot exist without social media support at this stage. There just isn’t another viable option, which is bad for our mental health and long term viability. You literally do have to buy from the artists you enjoy here if you want them to continue making work.

So you might've seen my OC "Ian". Would YOU read a mature, dark modern, horror, eldritch, BL. story with him? 🤔 #zweiart

The Julie bots don't even bother changing their handle to Julie anymore already... 😔 We used to have a thing, Julie, now you're just letters and numbers... 😔
