Finally settled on a concept sketch for a new Bunwells print. Been working on other merch ideas behind the scenes, but it's going to be a while before I've got time to render those given the comms list ><;;

It's my birthday in a few hours, so I'd like to spread my Bunwells merch around to celebrate! The paperdoll book is still one of my favourite things I've made, I love being able to hold it in my hands and feel the nostalgically waxy cover. (TuT) And the self-care sticker series too~ <3

The cover of the "Let's dress up! with Lilith Bunwell" paperdoll book, featuring Lilith posing in a matching plum underwear set, surrounded by three outfits rendered small: her principal ensemble, jade leopard print robe and "aces wild" waistcoat and pinstripe outfit.The rear cover of the paperdoll book, featuring all six outfits, the Bunwells logo and creator credits.The third sheet in the Selfcare Sticker Set series. On the left, Mary Bunwell places a flourishing pot plant at the top of a wrought-iron display column, upon which two other potplants and one padded vanity case each have a shelf. She is stretching up, so that her soft purple pullover raises up at her stomach, showing the waistlband of her slate-grey pencil skirt. Her hair is bountifully bound up in a loose bun and she smiles up at the new plant. The sticker text reads: "Plants make a house a habitat". On the right, Lilith Bunwell is wearing a dapper outfit of greens, brown and black, with gold touches. A ruched corset top is paired with leather leggings, a froufrou half-skirt fastened at her waist by a broad leather belt and ornate gold buckle. She also wears a black and gold matador jacket. Her arms are raised up, lifting her hair from behind as she observes herself in a mirror with satisfaction. Her text reads: "I don't need a special occasion to get fancy!"

streaming services: [high monthly fee incentivizes waiting until a series is finished before subscribing to binge] also streaming services: “this series didn’t perform well enough right out the gate, so we’re cancelling it before the season’s even over”

I got back my commission of the new comic boys from @dorkbait.bsky.social and have engaged Blorbo Protocol by making it my phone lockscreen. Did you know you can just make up a guy or two, and they can be whatever you want, and people will draw them for money?! It’s so cool. Real art is so cool.

In other news, while I was finishing these off, my pen stylus broke. The clicker part just collapsed out, seems like time and wear and wear and wear wore down the pivot mechanism of the little see-saw. So now I'm drawing with a sliver of tape wrapped around it, and hooboy I'd sure like some income.

All done and submitted!! The devs choose the top-ten and the SGmobile community select the final 3, so I'm not exactly hopeful (one references is older than most server citizens, for one thing), but wanted to give it a go regardless!

every genAI sales pitch basically comes down to 'you don't have to experience anything at all! life can feel like death!' and I'd say for some reason it works but it isn't working. they WISH it was working and they're begging billions in subsidies to make fetch happen

'you can generate a different ending every time you view a movie!' 'you can have endless text conversations with NPCs in games!' 'you can summarize a novel, you don't have to read it!' the pitches for genAI really reveal how much the people behind it just... hate art. like. *hate* art. deeply.
