I'm researching pixel art portfolios for inspiration to make mine and I spotted some glaring turn-offs in otherwise stunning showcases 😬

I don't usually do these kinds of threads, but...

I made a pear and chocolate tart! Inspired by @vazdimet.com 's Thanksgiving tarts 😌

It was supposed to be made with custard (creme pâtissière), but chocolate mysteriously made its way on it 😇

Thanks for adding me :D

When making magic system, I always end up going back to my biochemistry/bioinorganic chemistry roots and talking about molecules and magical particles 😂

If not that, then it'd all maths with runic geometric designs.
From the Arcane to the Elements, magic comes in many forms in #worldbuilding! I've created a starter pack for those who create worlds and endeavor to make them truly magical. 🧙

If you'd like to be added, please tell us a bit about your world's magic system! ✨ #MagicSystem #TTRPG

This brought up so many memories from my time in the lab! (Only 2 years since I left academia, but this feels an eternity ago already 😂).
I definitely don't miss cell culture and endless contamination of my cells though 😅
A meditation on all the small, nearly unconscious tasks and motions that you go through doing lab work. These were just off the top of my head, and there are plenty more (additions encouraged in the comments!)

1/8 I'm often asked "Why do amphorae have pointed bases?" and as a potter who has now made hundreds of them, I have to say that it's something that I have thought about a lot. For a start they'd be a lot easier to make if they had a flat base. As it is you start throwing from..

It's still hard to believe that this little game I decided to make still gets views and downloads over one year later! I'm so incredibly grateful to any and all who have played it and enjoyed it. One day I hope to expand upon it, but I'm not sure how to yet.

We're getting a ton of snow in Paris today since this morning, and it's starting to stop melting and stay on the road 😯

We never see snow in November usually, so we're all excited 😆

Today I finished a chibi drawing of the main characters in my current graphic novel. :3 Zalt, a royal messenger and Rou, a village witch. I might animate them with live2d later.

I came across an outdated guide on image grid sizing crop/proportions for bsky earlier, and I felt it was important to create an updated version! Please use this new guide instead!

My big project is Solaris! I'm working on a sapphic comic and a whole wiki for the setting 🥰💖

It's set in our Solar System, sort-of! The angels of the sun have laid siege to mercury, and our heroes try to hold them back ✨ It's gay, it's queer, and I'm having so much fun.

We have a snow alert in Paris today! 😱 It doesn't feel as if it's winter enough for this already!

(I misread and the alert is for tomorrow, but still! 😂)

In my world of Shattered, swimming in space one can find the Giant called “Manta Ray”. She’s often seen as a patron of arts cuz her gorgeous swimming as well as an icon of familiar love, out of her behaviour towards other Giants.
