#bugtorweek day 2 prompt | Scarab (sci-fi AU) Astrogeologist Jayce Talis is sampling some crystals. Suddenly, an alien arachnid peeks at him over the asteroid. The way the creature examines him, with eager curiosity, tells Jayce that this being is definitely intelligent... #jayvik cw: spider

A simple digital scene by renofdragons, made on Krita.

The image is of Jayce Talis in a spacesuit, and Viktor as an alien spider version of the Arcane Herald. They are both floating in space, and there is a light-colored asteroid filled with tiny blue crystals between them.

Jayce is in a white space suit with an oygen tank on his back, dark blue gloves, and a sturdy leg brace on his left leg. He has a short beard and short hair. He is staring at Viktor with a look of shock and wonder, his cheeks flushed with the excitement of discovering a new intelligent lifeform.

Viktor in his alien spider form is holding onto the asteroid, his eight golden legs each ending in pincers. He has a large purple head that is similar to the canon Arcane Herald's face, except he has eight glowing gold eyes. His cheeks are also pink. His spider body is dark gray with golden bumps over the top of his abdomen.

The background of the image is the blackness of space, punctuated here and there with distant stars. There is a glow in the upper right corner indicating a nearby star. The artist's signature is in the bottom left corner.

PSA: Bluesky's new auto-tagging moderation stuff is a disaster. Disable it. Go into Settings on the Bluesky site and enable adult content and set everything to Warn at most, which makes posts opt-in. Hide just vanishes posts. Then go into Advanced/Bluesky Mod Service and do the same on everything.

Kickstarter has reverted their policy changes on Adult Content! They issued an apology, siting Stripe as the reason. The pressure we put on them worked. This is a step in the right direction. But the threat of Stripe remains. It’d be great to see KS end ties with them & process payments elsewhere.

An Apology: Rethinking Our Mature Content Guidelines

Last week, we released a set of updates to our rules around mature content. It was our first time publishing a set of detailed, specific guidelines for adult-oriented content on Kickstarter. And hones...

A digital line and watercolor-like illustration depicting an anthropomorphic female wolf knight with dark fur. she looks tired and has a intense expression. over her shoulders rests a long, fluffy pelt with the head of a white wolf (her late lover). Their heads rest close, and the white one's mouth is slightly open, as if it was whispering to the dark wolf.

you can no longer read this. I've removed all the "public nudity" (sex words) and submitted it for review. So, as per Patreon, keep in mind: describing sex counts as public indecency. Yes, really. I hope I live to see the death of puritanism. This is hell.

Hey I wrote a little guide for you aspiring smut peddlers out there :)

I absolutely think this is the key element in deciding to separate art and artist. Shakespeare was probably one kind of asshole or another but buying the complete works doesn’t allow him or his heirs to do more damage. It’s a critical distinction between censorship and boycott.

You absolutely cannot separate the artist and the art without contributing to the persecution of trans people. Boycott everything Potter.

Advocate: J.K. Rowling uses Harry Potter wealth to fund anti-transgender organization.

It's my birthday today and as I've seen it's tradition here, I wanted to share a bit of my art :) As it's my motto recently, Here's to better, more human art in the years to come.

Three huntresses (mother, daughter and grandmother) running on seikrets accompanied by their palicoes on the sunny Windward plains. 

From left to right, further to closer: 
a middle aged woman riding a green and black seikret.
a younger woman riding a green, pink maned seikret.
an older woman riding a green seikret with a red underbelly.

The image is bright, with a midday sun, and the characters are having fun racing on the plains.Fanart of Monster Hunter Wilds Olivia (a blonde, sharp-faced, muscular worman) and my own character, Valarmathi (black haired, leaner, with olive skin)

They are depicted over a dark background with low, warm light.

Valarmathi is covered in wounds and scratches, her chest bare. Olivia holds her waist with one hand. both their expressions are serene.
Olivia says 'You should consider getting stronger armor' as she gently brushes a wound on Valarmathi's shoulder with her nuckles.Astarion and Serilde, a half-elf woman, look at each other lovingly while riding a horse. They are wearing a version of traditional Andalusian garb: She wears a red flamenco dress and rides sidesaddle while holding the reins. He is wearing a tan 'Traje de corto' and rides behind her, holding her waist. they both are holding a deep red manila shawl behind their backs.An illustration of Viktor and Jayce hard at work in blue and purple tones with a Piltover style frame. 
Viktor is reading outloud from a book while sitting, his cravat untied. Jayce is taking notes on a board, but they start to lose sense as he gets distracted looking at Viktor.
Aditionally, in two smaller frames, we can see their eyes looking up, suggesting they look at each other.
