My husband agreed to fully give up twitter if I give up bluesky. So bye bluesky, it’s been real ✌️

So this is the current “finished”? Jexabell, and I just am not happy. Usually my shading method is to clip light/shadow to each flat color and adjust individually. This time I wanted a universal light, soo tried one light layer and 2 shadow layers. I don’t love it, the colors don’t feel right.

Blerg. I tried a different way to render a portrait, didn’t like it, and now my brain is like, “this cannot be done, can’t finish the portrait”. I know I can go back to my preferred shading method, but I’m blocked.

When Facebook first got popular, you had a section for photos, your friend list, and links. Because posting links was that infrequent. This was around the time teens would “sneak out” to the family computer at night. Just turn the dial on the speakers down so your parents don’t hear the dial-up.

Standing With Our Colleagues in Venezuela Hi everyone I want to take a moment to talk about two people I work with and care about deeply. Ludic Pen exists because of collaboration, trust, and shared enthusiasm for creating things together. But this project started thanks to Samuel Rondón.

“Women’s clothes should have pockets” yes, obviously we all agree and TODDLER CLOTHES SHOULD NOT HAVE POCKETS. Why don’t I get pockets, but I have the privilege of finding a week old apple slice in my child’s laundry? Cancel kid pockets. Only fake pockets until they earn them.

This place needs some Innocuous Discourse pronto. Quote this with a take that’s not political or aggressive

And the biggest thing I want is to be able to save wherever rather than having to run back home (and wait through the loading screens) to do it. So if ever pterosaurs are introduced, I think they should be for fast travel and saving.

I have ideas for dino abilities (jobs?). Some of the big ones should be “loaders” that you can buy saddlebags for and get extra storage spaces when you’re out foraging, and some “shakers” that can get extra fruit off trees.

You know what? Heck it. This year I’m putting out CC art. I already have one portrait icon pack up in itch for commercial and personal use, I’m going to expand that to more packs of the same style. But also just, I like making art. People who make games need art. I’ll give them some. Make game.

SNEAKY POSITIVITY Roll 1d10 The result is how many people you have to stealthily compliment or encourage without them realizing you’re playing. Whomstever successfully (and honestly, sincerely) compliments enough people first wins! Then everyone playing should encourage each other, win or lose.

I need everyone to make a shitpost game that fits into at most 3 posts on here before the end of the year otherwise thr sun will not rise again

My current WIP, Jexabell Pendryn! the character I’ll be playing for the solo Gentleman Scoundrel show in Jan. Usually my work is EXTREMELY colorful, but for blades I’m taking a slightly different approach. She’ll be all b/w, with an electroplasmic streetlight giving her some dramatic green glow.

Jenna Figgers@jennafiggers.bsky.social · 10mo ago

The AI anxiety has made me so squeamish with posting art online the past few years. It just makes my heart jittery. I think this coming year I will start posting like, maybe WIPs or something so I can get into a better place about it. But I don’t think just posting finished pieces will feel good.

I haven’t consumed IT in any form, but I’m under the impression ITs a clown because clowns were not scary at the time. So if the story were set now IT would be like…Mr Beast. If it were set 15 years ago, IT would’ve been Shrek. Idk if that’s right but the thought is Nightmare fuel.

I heard (ymmv) what makes humans dangerous hunters isn’t claws, venom, not even tools. It’s endurance. That humans could stalk a mammoth until it’s exhausted, and bring it down together. I’m looking at a huge, unkillable, “inevitable” mammoth of GenAI thinking, we can kill this together.

I have TWO distinct styles I have curated and honed over years. I’m not anybody special, but I really think opening myself up to an AI scrape would just break my heart too much. Posting a finish piece feels bad, it feels ominous. I know this is anxiety, but I still feel it.

*Love* being on Bluesky right after twitter shits the bed. The whole app turns into a bunch of freaky little shrimp celebrating a whale fall.

About 15 years ago my BIL said I look like a goblin shark when I smile.

Gauntlet 64!!!!! But I was a big Neopets girlie and I played Skylanders up until I had to get rid of all my figureines last year. Also wore out the N64 with Pokémon snap, and the sleeper favorite is Grabbed By the Goulies for Xbox.

What is the video game that oozes childhood memories for you? Club Penguin, Neopets, Habbo Hotel, Angry Birds, Runescape, Friv, World of Warcraft, Skylanders. Something else?

My 3 year old and I have been loving playing @paleopines.bsky.social together! If it were up to her, our whole ranch would be Lucky and 40 Gallimimus.

Sigh. We moved from MN to VA before the house sold. In May. And then the market completely dried up, and we’re paying mortgage on the house until next spring when it will hopefully sell. And our current rent. Rent and mortgage, same time. Whole year.

I don’t give a shit about your accomplishments this year. What’s the dumbest shit you did the past 12 months? The truly stupidest decision you made in 2025?
