It’s baby octopus season 🐙🦑

Saw this little guy last night with the Salish Sea School in Anacortes, WA as part of their free community dock walk I volunteer as an interpreter for.

We can tell it is a giant pacific octopus from the single line of chromatophores on each arm.

Man I wish I knew exactly what I was doing wrong. Is my art bad? Is my formatting bad? I thought my prices were low enough, but I still haven't gotten any work in months. Sure, I have someone that says they'll get back to me in a week, but I'm worried they're gonna ghost me... Advice welcome?

Democrats are considering a Republican deal to reopen government with a promise of a later vote on extending health-care tax credits—but no guarantee.

One Democrat says it'd amount to "unconditional surrender that abandons the 24 million Americans whose health care premiums are about to double."

Slapping down some #art commissions and hoping for the best here. See me on Ko-fi or just send me a message here so we can talk about it~ ko-fi.com/fishwithakni...
Price sheet for sketches, ranging from fairly rough with support lines, to fully colored. Each stage depicts a waist-up drawing of the same avian humanoid that resembles a cross between a hawk and a crow wearing a sleeveless robe or tunic. The fully colored version has feathers similar to that of a black-eared kite, which are a rusty brown with white feathers mixed in around the head and face. The tunic is a powder blue with a dark blue obi without a visible knot. Stage one is listed as "Rough $10 USD". Stage two is somewhat more refined but still has rough lines and is listed as "Cleaned $15 USD". Stage three has more clean bold lines with clear details and is listed "Refined $30 USD". Stage 4 is the fully colored version with shading and colored details, listed as "Full Color $$50 USD".

I know she's saying it for selfish reasons, but I'm glad she's making noise anyway because it highlights how stupid everything has gotten

Even the Jewish Space Laser lady knows the GOP “health care plan” isn’t real.
A tweet from Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene reads: “You left out that I said I have no respect for the House not being in session passing our bills and the President’s executive orders.” She continues criticizing Speaker Johnson for refusing to share a GOP healthcare plan to replace Obamacare, saying he cited “ideas and pages of policy” but no concrete proposal. The tweet ends with: “Apparently I have to go into a SCIF to find out the Republican healthcare plan!!!”

A reminder: if you see someone shoplifting food, water, baby formula, diapers, tampons, etc. etc.

NO YOU FUCKING DIDN’T.

Millions going hungry is a national emergency, like hurricanes and earthquakes. Withholding life saving resources during these types of emergencies isn’t just a moral crime, but a legal one.

Why is this not the same? I would simply put out a flyer for a ‘grocery store take over’ party in Barstow.

Started and abandoned an attempt at a new pngtuber, but it does make a good example of a $10 sketch. I do those by the way... #commissionsopen

Painted someone's FF7 OC, because she started it
Digital painted portrait that features a close-up portrait of a feminine human, framed from the shoulders up. The character's gaze is directed towards the viewer. The subject has short, choppy blue hair and pale skin. The eyes are bright cyan similar to SOLDIER individuals from Final Fantasy VII, and are highlighted by black eyeliner, which creates a sharp contrast. The individual has multiple piercings, including a nose ring, lip piercings, and ear piercings with large gauges. A dark lipstick on the upper lip completes the aesthetic. The subject is wearing a dark, close-fitting top with a high neckline, and a silver necklace with a black diamond-shaped pendant. Numerous star tattoos are on the right side of the face.

Listen to me. Listen. If you're making images that will only be displayed on screens, YOU HAVE TO LET GO. You can calibrate your screens perfectly, but then 25k people will see it on their shitty $50 monitors or cracked phone and its out of your hands. Don't think of it. Achieve enlightenment.
Tweet by @night margin "digital artist woes" image of the same color gradient on various screen (monitor 1 appears very grey purple, phone appear VERY pink, monitor 2 appears a more saturated purple, laptop appears brownish red, family's phone appears much darker and bluer etc.)

This is good reporting on the disaster in Alaska if you're looking for a reliable summary.

This is a bigger disaster than I think most are realizing. 1500 people have been displaced by the flooding with an exceptionally complicated response and recovery.

It’s the T͢a͢í͢n͢o͢ people of the Caribbean over the genocidal colonizers…

It’s the hypocrisy of “you will not replace us” while on stolen land…

It’s the history repeating…

It’s justice for the indigenous…all day every day.

You gotta give ‘em hop.
A tweet from the Anonymous account says, “Make sure the dude in the frog costume in Portland knows he's an icon.” The image is a stylized poster of a frog wearing a stars-and-stripes scarf with the word “HOP” below, in the style of the Obama “HOPE” poster.

Had a dream that one of my online friends visited my hometown after a hurricane and they looked like a more colorful mothman
Rough sketch of an anthropromorphic promethea silkmoth. The lines are colored to resemble the colors on the real-life moth, except for the eyes, which are colored in with a vibrant red. Not-Mothman waves to the viewer in a casual manner.

Custom Goblin from #Lancer ...so not looking forward to turning this into a sprite
Sketch in dark green of a person-sized mech that resembles an insect. It has large foreclaws and wings, and the pilot inside is visible, making the mech seem more like a type of armor.
