CW mention of suicide, self harm and disordered eating

Battle pass roster #brainbunnies
LYE - The public facing host and caretaker, as well as a terrible comfort eater. Self-sacrificing and meek, they constantly feel guilty for existing and fearful of taking up too much space. They like to feel like a dependable butch. Enjoys drawing little details. Likes fun drinks, musicals and swimming. ART - The often overzealous and self-destructive protector. He is a bulimic and rejection-sensitive masochist who often must be reigned in. Passionate about art and creating, he has a lot of input on the artistic process. Enjoys drawing bodies & hands. Likes bad movies, synth music and feeling masculine. PEN - Gentle, vulnerable and friendly, he is by far the most emotional alter - to the point that his emotions can be overwhelming, distressing or inconvenient to the others. He is not a child but feels like “a small, broken, sad thing”, like a lost toy. Enjoys drawing cute characters. Likes toys, chocolate and love stories. INK - The judgemental, controlling and abusive persecutor. They want the others to either live up to their standards or kill themselves, and the refusal to do either leaves Ink feeling trapped and hopeless. Suicidal and self-depreciating, and believes they are correct about everything. Enjoys very little. Likes reading about biology and psychology. NIB - The animalistic, feral stim beast. Communicates in vocal stims and body language, and sometimes annoys the others with incessant strings of nonsense words. Enjoys drawing lots of little doodles. Likes rubbing their hands against textures, puzzle games and sour apple candy. EAS - Non-communicative, avoidant and depressed. Wants to be left alone so they can hide, and becomes resentful when dragged out of hiding. Has zero awareness of time. Enjoys writing stories sometimes but hates being asked about them. Likes weighted blanket, cold drinks and literary parallels. SET - Lurks deep down inside. In the car metaphor, it hides in the trunk. Suicidal hopelessness. Likes piano music.

Isn't it kinda funny how Yoshi's Island is considered one of Nintendo's best platformer franchises, and yet the only truly great Yoshi's Island game that they ever made was the first one

Zane is the best. If any movies need scratch, I’d highly recommend using him

This has been an annoyance to me for years, but it's been supercharged by the proliferation of AI:

If you use a stock image, or ESPECIALLY an AI-generated image of food you intend to SELL on your restaurant menu, I will immediately assume your actual product looks like actual garbage.

A while ago my HDD failed, and the repair service told me that it's extremely unlikely they'll be able to save my work of 10+ years. I have some backups, but not of my most recent work, which is the most important.

If folks could just send some positive energy my way, I'd hugely appreciate it.

On one hand, I'm happy that the No Kings protests did not escalate and that nobody got hurt. I'm glad I was wrong.

On the other... What exactly did it accomplish? A protest doesn't need rioting to be effective, but if those in power are not inconvenienced, it's not a protest, that's just a parade.

Working on a bunch more production art for Quest Chefs. I want to really polish the art and present the project at the level of quality it deserves!

#QuestChefs
Crouton, a young curly-haired girl wearing a leather coif, jumps onto the shoulder of Rosbif, a large bearded chef wearing armored tassets and carrying a huge potato and carrot under his burly arms. As she laughs, he grimaces and strains under the sudden added weight.

This might actually be my favorite drawing I've made of these two

#QuestChefs
Rosbif, a large bearded chef wearing armored tassets and a bandolier of knives, carries Crouton, a young curly-haired girl wearing a leather coif, on his arm. Crouton has a crossbow slung across her shoulder and excitedly points at something in the distance, while Rosbif smiles at her with a laid-back expression.

I've been really busy writing, boarding, and preparing for a pitch session lately, but I took the time to update the art for my business cards!

Crouton, a young girl with a frying pan, and Rosbif, a burly old chef with a cleaver, fight off a horde of monstrous vegetables.
