im alive, just been busy
drew my atylss warrior during my weekend breaks

〈 #Atlyss ⬩ #OC ⬩ #OCsky ⬩ #RKGK ⬩ #🪨Flint 〉
A digital illustration of Arti’s Atylss warrior character, Flint. There’s three different portraits of Flint. Flint is a humanoid, Wolf Jackalope fusion with grey and white fur. He has sharp black horns, tall rabbit ears, a dog like snout, spiky grey hair and green eyes. His over all armor and weapon choice is inspired by Cloud Strife or Zack Fair from the Final Fantasy remake series. Overall, he has a pretty serious vibe or look to his face.

CM︱pocky for treeckster/mickey, oc credits below.

〈 #Art ⬩ #ArtiComms ⬩ #Commission 〉
A digital illustration of Treeckster and XKorvin’s OC ship, Pocky, at a night-club venue with pink and blue background lighting. The pairing is mostly in the shadows, in profile and in kissing distance. The shorter character, Rocky, is cornered as the taller character, Peter, is leaning in with a hand resting on the wall behind Rocky’s head. Rocky has a hand in front of her lips and an arm pressed against Peter’s chest to prevent him from kissing. Though, she is making eye contact with Peter is flushed, her lips parting as she reconsiders. Peter’s mouth is open and his tongue is running under one of Rocky’s fingertips, leaving behind a string of saliva between her fingers.

Miika (2023). Line art and cell shading practice.

〈 #OC ⬩ #OCsky ⬩ #Art ⬩ #🃏Miika 〉
A digital illustration of Miika with their head tilted down and a focused, glowing red eye peering past their down-tilted sun glasses. Their other eye is shut. There’s a hand against their chin, a finger going across their bottom lip. They have a two-block hairstyle with a side-swept parting to the right. Their hair color is blue, but has been tinted purple thanks to the lighting. The piece has vaporwave like lighting with the background light being pink and the shadows being purple/blue.

Pierce x Mantis Lord (Hollow Knight) concept
—

#OC ⬩ #OCsky ⬩ #RKGK ⬩ #🌌Pierce
A young man looking down at you with one hand holding on the the shaft of a long spear. He looks ready to challenge you. He has cobalt blue eyes, short, scruffy black hair and the insect mandible-like horns from Hollow Knight's Mantis Lords. He's dressed in a fitted, black, shoulder-less outfit with triangular cuts revealing his side/abs. Splayed out behind his lower back are his praying mantis wings. There are subtle rays of lights coming from the top. The background is done with blues and greens with transparent, orange light particles and is made up of abstract shapes mimicking the backdrop for the Mantis Lords fight.

2. SETTING TO REQUIRE ALT TEXT
Users with screen readers will appreciate this! With alt text you're able to provide more context for everyone, especially those w/ screen readers.
U can turn on a setting to require alt text before posting!
W/out alt txt, screen readers will just say "image."
Screenshot of Bluesky's Accessibility Settings showing Arti with "require alt text before posting" toggled on.

A chibi Sann landed on his back in a clearing. His lower back raised and legs swung over his head. A continuation of the last panel. Chibi Sann bringing his legs down and three A's seen above his mouth. An above shot of a more semi-realistic drawing of a scratched up Sann, laying on the grass. Eyebrows furrowed as it continues to rain on him.

Slip. An isolated panel of Sann's boot seen slipping against the terrain. Little dust clouds getting kicked up. A far away shot of a stick man representing Sann slipping off a small ledge in the woods. An arrow is pointed at the stickman with the words "Reached the end of the path" White text on black. "Crash" in all caps.

From that one time I drew a mini comic as a starter for an RP with Mickey (1/3)

※ Main text is a fictional language brush because Sann's native language in this fantasy verse wasn't the common language ("English")

—

#OC ⬩ #OCsky ⬩ #RPGsky ⬩ #GalesEnd ⬩ #COMIC ⬩ #✒️SANN
Fictional fantasy language and underneath it in English translation: "I still can't get over the plants here". Foliage sit on the bottom left and top right corner, framing the text. Narrative box says "So lush" and is superimposed on a trunk of a tree. A rabbit sitting behind one of the roots. Behind it are some loose illustrations of bushes and other trees, indicating that the character is in the woods. Narration box says "And tall". An illustration of from-below view of a treetop. Narration box says "It truly is magical". A slightly above shot of Sann shielding his face from the rain with a hand. Sann has short black hair with his fringes pushed up into a spikey hair-do and arched, knitted eyebrows. He's wearing an all black, collared top. Dark, foreground foliage borders most of the panel.

definitely still trying to get better at it
A screenshot from WebAIM that summarizes four main characteristics of alt text which is to be accurate and equivalent, be succinct and not redundant and to not include phrases like "image of" or "graphic of".
