I forgot about these two, I also doodled them today! I adore Perly's curvessss. Adding facial hair has defs added a lot more character to him. I really like how Tuck's pose came out, too!

Perly, my fat purple goblin! (The original, and oldest!)

He's very big, round, and is one of the only ones with rounded eyes rather than slits! He's quite hairy, which I feel is a staple for my goblins other than reduced hair. He's always down to chill, though. He makes an excellent pillow. (He will pet you, though.)

My doodle of Tuck, one of my many gobos! (The youngest of them.)

He's spreading his legs out and adjusting his hat. I thought it'd be fun if he had the other set of genitals rather than the common one. I love how his hat and his over-all pose came out, sometimes it's nice to sit back and let it air out for a bit.

"look we're not using AI in the final product we're just using it to speed up the conceptual stage" is what a lot of dopes affecting an enlightened middle position keep saying. I truly do not get that one. You hate imagining stuff? You don't like thinking and conceptualizing? Get a grip

Yo @kazolace.bsky.social this turned out amazing!! Love the nfc and all of the little details in the case/booklet art, and the stickers are fantastic. Also it came way quicker than I was expecting, howdy neighbor lol

I'm begging any artists still using Twitter claiming it's integral to their work to just leave. It's been revealed the site works off a made up "credit score" from hell and punishes you for posting like a normal human being.

Abandon Twitter for good. It's time. It's been time.

A quoted tweet from a user named Sam that reads: "How Twitter is rigged
Type in all caps because you're excited? Lowers your reputation. Include links? Your score goes down. It's like the Credit Score system from Hell.
And given Cisgender is treated as a slur & MAGA boosted, you can guess what's categorized as 'offensive'"

The tweet they quoted is from user SADIQ and reads:
"Tweepcred is X's reputation system
Based on your behavior, you get a tweepcred score
It determines your reach
Break the algo rules, you score goes down and your reach disappears
What are the rules of the X algo tho? Glad you asked."

SADIQ includes a photo of Twitter's algorithm code that calculates a user's reputation.

SADIQ continues:
"Post 'offensive text'? 80% reach reduction
Offensive username? 80% reach reduction
All caps tweet? That's seen as 'shouting. Major penalization.
Include links? Yup, penalized"
