A little Mega fanart in honor of The Protomen Act III!

Quite happy to see that my personal vision of the boy in blue was on the money thanks to the new art, as well.
Waist-up pencil sketch of The Protomen's version of Mega Man. A puppet-like android with a smooth face that has panel lines on each cheek & going down from each mouth corner, to the chin. His expression is suspicious, stern & vigilant. His helmet, shaped like Mega Man's traditional helmet ( complete with the "i-shaped" mohawk detail) mixed with a vintage round open-face motorbike helmet, is covered in scratches, dings & dents, with the plexiglass ear-pod on the right side (viewer's left) showing a large crack & missing chunk. A tinted football-style visor cuts juts from under the helmet's brim, shading his eyes but allowing his glowing pupil to show through. He wears a thick racing jacket with the lapels turned out, showing a diamond-quilted interior. The elbow-length zipper on his right arm (viewer's left) unzipped & the sleeve rolled all the way up to expose his Mega-Buster, interpreted as a 90's comic book style tactical weapon. He wears a T-shirt with a slight V-neck that has a large M on the chest. Theres also a scrappier sketch of his face with an angry expression to the left, & a comic book panel thumbnail of him pointing at Protoman, with a cut-in of Protoman's head on the right, underneath.

Calappa, a dome-shaped crab in dark color, seen from the front. Behind its body and in front, hiding its claws and most of its face, are phalaenopsis, moth orchids with roughly circular shape, in lighter colors. Black and white drawing.

AI will be trained on federal datasets that are the accumulation of decades of world-class research. The admin has also decimated that research infrastructure.
This order launches the “Genesis Mission” as a dedicated, coordinated national effort to unleash a new age of AI‑accelerated innovation and discovery that can solve the most challenging problems of this century. The Genesis Mission will build an integrated AI platform to harness Federal scientific datasets — the world’s largest collection of such datasets, developed over decades of Federal investments — to train scientific foundation models and create AI agents to test new hypotheses, automate research workflows, and accelerate scientific breakthroughs.

#telekitneticart #indigenousart If you weren't aware already, this is the unfortunate hand I've been dealt this holiday season: having to job hunt in the winter while a potential recession is on the horizon.

ko-fi.com/telekitnetic...

RBs on this post are really appreciated <3
A drawing of TeleKitnetic's fursona making the shinji chair meme post. The top text reads "I got laid off from my day job", the bottom text simply reads "Bottom text". "After my final shift for the week last Thursday, my boss pulled me aside and told me I'd been let go (termination without cause) with severance in lieu of a two week notice. That day job paid for all of my rent, plus most of my expenses. The severance I got will cover most of my rent + expenses for one month, but that's it. And it's a very difficult time to be looking for a job right now (my last big job hunt took almost three months for a minimum wage position). My family has offered to lend me a hand for expenses if I need it, and I'm going to be looking into options like EI and art grants to keep me afloat, but other then that, my monthly income is now almost entirely dependent on my artwork. And it's obviously a very difficult time to be trying to make a living as an independent artist right now." I know it's a pretty rough time (understatement) for a lot of folks right now, but if you're able to give some money to help me out while I'm trying to get through this rut, it'd be greatly appreciated. 1. I have a monthly ko-fi membership (Tip Jar) where you can get occasional private WIP updates for as low as 4$ CAD (about 3$ USD) per month! This is great if you don't have the change for a commission or shop items/shipping but want to pitch in a little bit to me! 2. I have an online shop on the same ko-fi! It has stickers, prints, pins, and keychains of my formline art. US shipping is available and prepaid duties (tariffs, derogatory) are factored into the applicable product shipping cost. Great if you're looking for stocking stuffers this holiday season! 3. I take custom commissions for formline art from time to time! The reason I list this last is because comms take the most physical and mental strain of all these options, and the last thing I want to do is burn myself out when I'm already struggling. If you can't support me financially, that is fine! Reblogging/sharing my posts, shop listings, and art helps more then you think! A screenshot of TeleKitnetic's ko-fi shop.

This may be the first photograph of the mysterious Okka. In Japan it is known as a yōkai, with only a few old scrolls alluding to it.
The reason for its elusiveness is the deadly poison it sprays around it. Those who have been close enough to see it, such as this photographer, have quickly perished.
A photograph of a red bulbous animal on the muddy ground. Most prominently, an yellow eye-like protrusion grows on its back. On the other side of its body, it has a small frog-like face. Several large pores open in its body, releasing a black fog that dissipates into the surrounding air. Hyakki Yagyo Emaki, author unkown, ca. 15th Century. A scroll depicting a series of yōkai. Among them, a red bulbous creature stands out. It has a single eye and two legs. Another yōkai is hitting it with a hammer.

North American Hoverflies! 🪰
An illustrated poster with numbers and an identification key, highlighting the diversity of Hoverfly species found in North America. 18 flies are drawn on the poster. These flies are generally striped/have patterns that make them resemble bees. They are illustrated on a light earthy yellow-green background.

THE RADICAL LEFTISTS HAVE KILLED OUR BUSINESS
[also we got bought out by private equity who shuttered the store and fired everyone]
BUT IT WAS MOSTLY THE RADICAL LEFTISTS
also can we have a federal bailout 🥹
time CultS -d 8 claire's NOTICE OF STORE CLOSURE To Our Valued Customers, This Claire's location has been permanently closed. The decision reflects both external pressures & internal restructuring. In recent months, repeated attacks of ridicule by radical left agitators have gone beyond mere criticism, escalating into a deliberate effort to destabilize our company - conduct we recognize as Domestic Economic Terrorism. At the same time, our transition under new private equity ownership required difficult financial choices. Protecting the stability of shareholders was prioritized, & this store - along with its local workforce - was deemed expendable in service of that obligation. Despite these challenges, Claire's remains committed to our identity as a traditional American company rooted in values of family & community. We will not be silenced by those who attempt to undermine that mission, & we continue to move forward with confidence in our future. Here at Claire's, we look forward to working with the current administration to reinvigorate our brand presence across the United States, ensuring that we remain a part of American life for generations to come. We invite you to continue supporting Claire's by shopping online at www.claires.com Thank you for your attention to this matter.
