Blind cartoonist, writer, and general creative person. Only reblog pics with good/useful alt text, may pester you for abusing it. Commission prices and samples: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/53317047/

Tutorial notes: Believability & story will make an image more appealing than realistic rendering. Detail is the least important part of art that takes the most time to do. If your shapes are wrong or your form is wrong adding detail is wasted effort. Theory + practical = far faster learning.

Today I learned what the sacrum is and where because apparently I have fucked mine up all to hell on one side and it's making everything agony. Physical therapy is basically the least fun thing you can do. D:

Because I haven't been able to draw I've been going back and looking at older art I've made. I really like this little Petrie from Land Before Time I did a few years back.

drawing of Petrie from Land Before Time but as a more anatomically accurate pterosaur.

The path to creative freedom: Make what you want. Don’t ask permission. Don’t explain. Don’t apologize. Don’t read comments to see if fans disapprove (or have a fave). Do read comments for technical feedback, AKA: “I don’t get what happened on this panel / page.” Commit wholly to your concept

I try not to do this often, as I know everyone is in a rut, but this week has been disaster after disaster and tomorrowI find out how much worse it gets If you have enjoyed the art and want to throw a few bucks my way now would help more than anything ko-fi.com/cadmiumtea

Legit walking out of Target cuz what I want is behind a case and management is too cheap to hire enough staff. GG capitalism. No wonder Amazon keeps eating your lunch.

Settings -> accessibility This option makes it so you can't post until you fill out the alt text. Alt text helps blind users & it also gives you more space to type - just don't put URLs in there (screen readers will read it & that sucks). It's per login so you have to set it per device! Worth it

It's a screen shot of the accessibility screen that says alt text and then I have a checkbox that says "require alt text before posting".  Mine is checked. 

What I didn't realize is that it's per device so I posted last night without it since I was on my iPad and then I had to add alt text in a comment.

Getting a new guide dog is ALot so I haven't done much this month. But I wanna at least do some art for the folks on #ArtFight who've attacked me. First up: PlagueDogs123's Salem! I can't resist a neat cat. :)

ID: Silhouetted by a yellow moon, a slim black cat sits in an autumnal tree. He grins, purple eyes alight, one dainty paw stepping onto a lower branch, wisps of orange, purple, and green color drifting down his black back.

This is a normal thing to have. :D Hanging it on my wall right at eye level so when I catch a glimpse of it in the middle of the night I can feel good about my choices (by which I mean: attempt not to piss myself). :D

ID: The sickly yellow, vaguely arrow shaped shevron pattern of the Backrooms wallpaper in a neat black frame. A little peek at a flat Alyce in the bg.

cw: cruelty to animals (according to the animal XD) I have yet to meet a shep who likes the booties. Mouse is gonna have to get used to them in this upcoming heat wave, bless her.

ID: Looking dolefully into the camera, a short faced sable German shepherd very much wants you to take the dog boots off her feet please.
