Ylvanaar ~ Hosting an Itchio Bundle!
@ylvanaar.bsky.social
Author of the comics Old Magic and Brand of Gold on Comicfury, and the stories "Wolf Bride" as well as "Hunger" on Itch.io. More of my art: https://ko-fi.com/ylvanaar
Just to be clear on this article, the position I took isn't "developers need to be more brave" but "funding needs to be more brave". Developers make all the cool stuff, just because they want to - the funding side hits it with market research and fear and growth targets and shareholders.
GamesRadar+@gamesradarplus.bsky.social · 2w agoWe need games like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Balatro, and Peak as a cure for the "fear" in the industry, say experts www.gamesradar.com/games/we-nee...
The newest item on this bundle is an AU story of Quir and Kiril, about Flower Language, classical music, and courting someone without speaking! If you've ever wanted to read something extremely wholesome and fluffy from me, this is it 🩷

We have SO MUCH COOL STUFF, everyone come say hi to us on Saturday! Not only will I tell you everything about my comics, I will also tell you the cool stuff Naite and Fae have!
Anayte@artnaite.bsky.social · 3w agoWooo! It’s our table! I’ll be sharing a space at Ropecon Artist’s Alley with @ylvanaar.bsky.social and @faetiainen.bsky.social on Saturday 25.7. :OOO Come see cool art and comics and BOOKS and talk to us about your problematic rpg characters!
If Sanna Marin had done this, headlines would be screaming for her to be publicly, if metaphorically, executed, perhaps in some medieval way like quartering. I can't believe I wake up every morning to this shit where a man stealing 35 mill € isn't a big deal and is allowed to be the PM.
I will have to join ArtFight late; I managed to injure a nerve on my shoulder, and cannot do anything with my right arm. Pain is crushing. But, nothing permanent. Just a long recovery. I'm on week 2 now, 2 more weeks estimated for me to be functional, 4 weeks for pain-free, 6 for full recovery.
Brand of Gold has all the July pages available on my ko-fi now! That's 8 pages and two intermission chapters which truly are my "duality of woman" in action.
If you are at Tampere today, please go check this work of art out! Nighte never ceases to surprise me with talent and kickass scenes, you don't want to miss this 🌟
Nighte 🔞@starnighte.bsky.social · 2mo agoWoooahghgh HOOKED!! My small kinky Hook/Pan comic is, if it is Heaven’s will, available tomorrow 11.6. at the Queer Kinky Market in Tampere! 7e, 19 pages of b/w comic, amazing crusty screentones, extra sassy banter edited by @ylvanaar.bsky.social ❤️
I wrote about making long-form projects (3-10 years), about the importance of remembering to air them out, the importance of letting them grow with you, and about allowing yourself to grow as well. (Also a couple of blunders I made with Brand of Gold!) ko-fi.com/post/How-sto...
How stories grow, if you let them

Ylvanaar ~ Hosting an Itchio Bundle!@ylvanaar.bsky.social · 2mo ago"What are YCHs?" YCH stands for "Your Character Here". It means that you can see in the example pictures the pose and the background your commission will include. All you have to do is give me your character and their outfit, as well as possible props! Price for one YCH is 25 e!
Listen I don't want to see NSFW content on my feed and also I want people to be able to post, discuss, celebrate, and support NSFW content without their whole account being shadowbanned by puritanical tech bros trying to kick us back a century or two. These two positions are entirely compatible.
This morning, my drawing tablet died, so I took out my backup. It, too, was completely dead. I took out my old, old, old ancient drawing tablet, but I have lost the pen for it at some point while moving. So - hi! I thought I would take a break from doing #YCH commissions, but no! Read for more:
If you don't know what Feral Gentry is yet, I warmly recommend you go find out 👀 Or COME find out, at our table! I will bring the second part of "Evil Wizard's Journal", a.k.a. 36 more pages of Old Magic, an entirely new IT Raven comic book, and the second part of Brand of Gold at whopping 52 pgs!

A reminder that access to throwing harassment at developers is not included in the purchase of a video game. Many of us obsess over critique, but we know the difference between critique even if its worded emotionally, a streamer using us as a punching bag for clickbait, and someone harassing us.
alyssa mercante@alyssamerc.bsky.social · 3mo agoThe usual suspects are trying to dogpile on a Bungie CM because they aren't getting the attention they so desperately need to feed their egos and struggling channels. Their complaint: They are blocked by the CM. AFAIK, Bungie has a "block early and often" policy when it comes to people online.
