So, even with fairly restrained spending at TFN I am now pretty much broke for the rest of the month. If anyone wants to commish me (or just chip in a bit so I can pay my bills) I'd really appreciate it. ko-fi.com/sjbroadside

Mo Ryan @moryan.bsky.social · last wk.

yes, and unfailingly predictive of absolute cowardice. If someone waffles on trans rights, they're wrong and gross, but also, you know they're just spineless losers who don't care about anything. nope, bye, next.

ashley 🌹@clearlyashley.bsky.social · last wk.

trans rights frankly is a top 5, potentially top 3 issue for me despite not being trans and not having any trans family being bigoted against trans folks not only hurts my trans friends and every trans person but is so predictive of further bigotry

It's been too long, the heatwave threw me off my groove... so here's A DOUBLE-SIZED update for "wizard car"!! (35/?)

Page 34 of a pencil sketchbook.
The page is divided into four segments, each taking a variably sized horizontal strip.
In front of the top three strips is a full shot of the trucker walking in. They look feminine but butch, with noticable meat on their bones, freckles on their legs, and laced shoes suitable for the long drive.
The first strip is dedicated to the mechanitch. She looks just as low-detail as her background appearance on the previous page, but this time she's the focus of the panel! She's just noticed the trucker's appearance and has a goofy little blush to go with the lo-fi rendering. Behind her, the giant bong looms tall.
The next strip is the wizard, leaning forward and sweeping her arm back towards the car in a point. This long distance shot is doing a little more scenesetting - the 3d printing staff continues its job, with a spotty "R R R R R R" sound effect.
The third strip is a close-up shot of the car. The sun has started its travel down the sky, and is silhouetting the crow hood ornament. Once again, we can see the car's license plate is XH26 ZB5.
The final strip dominates the rest of the page. It is itself a two-moment sequence depicting the 3d print job, which is *almost* done as the staff sputters out a few last, sporadic "R"'s. It finishes the job with a loud "ping!", and swooshes around in a curve towards the observer with a "fwwWWUUUSSHH".

Page 35 of a pencil sketchbook.
The page is dominated by a large shot of two characters' hands. The one on the left flinches, while the one on the right rapidly stretches forward into frame to catch the gunstaff's stock with a loud "wWHUUPPP", sort of like a baseball. In the background, the second person's teeth are gritted.
An inset panel depicts the aftershock. The wizard was summoning her staff to arrive directly in her hand, and she looks up in an unknowable expression. It was caught by the mechanitch, who has her eyes obscured but is "hff pff"ing and clearly the most outwardly uncomfortable she has been on panel (which is saying something). It is clear that the gritted teeth in the previous panel belonged to her, because they're still tight and tense and a little wavy. Her free hand twitches its fingers. In her thought bubble, the vertically-striped-circle personality as introduced on page 16 throws a 6-sided die.
At the bottom of the page, the die bounces a few times and lands on a "NAT 1!" The mechanitch's rictus turns into a wobbly grin and she lifts a weak thumbs up while squeaking out "Please donnn't shoot them?", with the vertical circle personality hiding behind the bubble. The visual metaphor of the seven-pointed, horizontally-lined star personality floats to the side, and in the variation of the speech bubble used primarily for internal conversation, says "oh, COME ON", with the "ON" significantly larger and partially off the side of the page.

LRT making friends is the most important part of any creative career if I can be so honest with you. is good to work on your craft but if you have three people in your life who like what you do you will go so far

Bought a sketchbook. Trying to rekindle my creative juices. Here's "wizard car" (2/?)

A black and white comic, done in pencil in a sketchbook.

Panel 1: A distant view of a road running through a barren desert. There are a handful of large clouds in the sky, a sign in the distance, a mountain even further down the road, and a loopdeloop in the other direction. There is a broken down car and some sort of encampment with smoke coming off it. Down the road past the sign, there is a small dust trail being kicked up. Floating in the sky are the words '"wizard car" by viv g'.
Panel 2: a close up of a bearded person's face. They are wearing a big shaded hat and slightly oversized sunglasses balanced on their knobbly nose. Reflected in the sunglasses are the broken down car from panel 1 (with the hood popped open and apparently no wheels), and a look further down the road towards the oncoming dust cloud.
Panel 3: a close-up of what appears to be a motorbike, with a jumpsuited person wearing gloves riding it (and fast). The motorbike(?) has a strange inscription on the side, and no front wheel is visible - instead, a cylinder is mounted underneath in a bracket, with what appears to be woodgrain on the end of that cylinder.

Page 2 of a sketchbook, with a black and white comic done in pencil.
Panel 1: A wide shot of what we thought was a motorbike and its rider. It's actually a motorBROOM - a combination of modern motorbike and witches' broom. Smoke gently pours off of the bristles as it stops, with the jumpsuited rider placing one boot on the ground gently. There is another, different inscription on the other side of the motorbroom's gas tank, and a container box behind the seat. We can see that the rider is wearing both a backpack and a striped helmet with a wing on it.
Panel 2-4: a short sequence of the rider taking their helmet off, revealing a feminine disposition, robust nose and bangs covering a single eye. In the 4th panel she says "Mg. Erstwham, reg. ex-heich-twenty-six, zee-bee-five?" In a rounded-rectangle speechbubble.
Panel 5: The wizard takes a moment to look at the rider, with both in silhouette save for the wizard's sunglasses. The wizard was in the middle of taking a puff from a truly gigantic bong with lead, which is what was causing the smoke in panel 1 of the previous page - they've been here a while.
Panel 6: Two shots of the wizard. The first is of them coughing terribly with the onomatopoeia "KOFF KOFF KOFF". The second is the first good look we get at them - elven pointy ears, a big-ass cloak, and droopy hat. In a hexagonal speechbubble, with additional "koff"s behind it, the wizard states "this is she.", all in lowercase. Up until this point, the reader has been led to believe this character is a man. Examine your biases!

I feel like people have forgotten that ad blockers weren't popular because people just wanted to get something for free, it's because we can't trust ads not to fuck up our computers. If we still just had quiet simple banner ads or sideboard ads, ad blockers wouldn't have gotten as much traction.

Wrote a small post about my work on the "Flower Castle" track from Deltarune Chapter 5! www.tumblr.com/shadolith/82...

A screenshot of a tumblr post that begins with a screenshot of the Deltarune Chapter 5 credits, listing Marcy Nabors under "Musical Assistance."
The body of the post reads:

"I worked on Deltarune Chapter 5! Just a little bit :)

"I was lucky enough to continue my role as music assistant to Toby Fox on the fifth chapter of Deltarune for the track "Flower Castle," which I worked on in a very similar capacity to the work I did on "Attack of the Killer Queen" from Chapter 2.

"This time around, Toby sent me a full multi-track acapella demo for me to transcribe to MIDI before sending it back over to him to arrange. It was amazingly fleshed out just from the reference he sent!

"I worked on transcribing this concurrently with the "Abandoned Town" and "Underwater Town" for the Undertale 10th Anniversary stream, and was very surprised when they turned out to not be for Chapter 5 😅

"Thank you all for the amazing response to Chapter 5!!! It means the world to me to see how much it's resonated with so many people <3"
