Today's sidequest is cutting down sheets of cards for an upcoming kids program.... Future forecast is mixed, I always hate Wool is Washed reversed :/
A photo of nine cards laid out in a Celtic cross tarot spread on top of a guillotine paper cutter. The cards are all the steps involved in processing wool. Some are reversed.

Complete and in service !! None of them have seen my art so they were expecting way worse i think lol
A photo of a large Cornhole board (wooden board with holes to throw sandbags or other objects at). Instead of the traditional vertical orientation with a single hole, this one is painted with a cartoon cow and pumpkins, with three holes carved where the black spots are.

Photo of a big sheet of plywood stood up in a woodshop. The first layer of a cow painting has been laid down, but still very much a work in progress.

This 🤏 close to buying a 2003 magazine about channeling Entities at the junk store today
A photo of a magazine titled "SEDONA, Journal of Emergence!" which apparently includes "channels, predictions,[and] features". On the side are a list of contributor names with no more info about them. The cover illustration is a drawing of a woman in robes and long flowing hair, glowing with a golden light and surrounded by flowers.

It is done.... And only mildly darker/greyer LMAO really should have steeped a wayyy stronger tea. Boiling pot would have been better than bucket too but it's got patch glue onthe back so that's a no go.. But at least something changed 😂 I'll do it again sometime soon! Maybe milk layer would help...

Photo of a dull olive green French army jacket laid out on top of a washing machine. Photo of the previous jacket now immersed in dark tea in a black bucket. Tongs are holding it above the surface and a pile of tea bags are next to the bucket, partially obscured.

design update commission for mitheal ✒️ #ocsky #artsky #krita #centaur
A commissioned digital illustration of a black centaur, criss-crossed kintsugi style with silvery material that bonds patterned pieces of their repaired body together. They wear a shimmery silver gown across the humanoid portion and are adorned with pearls. They look a bit concerned as they hold a tablet and scribe's quill. This is an expansion of the original design, a much smaller cutesy version with more stylized markings and no outfit shown top right. The text reads, "Design Update: for Mitheal".

a little time to yourself #oc #pouflons #krita
(1) A digital painting of a low campfire among the trees, just as the night sky begins to lighten. One character, a goat-like creature with crystalline scales, sleeps unawares; the other creature, with slick black scales and tentacles for hair, disappears into the woods. A tiny dragon pet wakes up to see him leave, concern on its features. (2) Predawn light has filled the sky now as the black pouflon leaps a quiet creek. In the foreground, the dragon-pet has followed after him, worried. (3) As the sun rises, the black pouflon has found an open meadow to sit in sullen silence, staring up at the sky to watch the crescent moon fade away. The dragon-pet has caught up with him, but its offered flower is ignored.

Looking at trackballs on ebay and I'm obsessed with this... Like I see what they're going for but what on earth. I need 4
An eBay seller's photo of an old Logitech trackball-mouse. It looks sort of like if someone took a blocky old mouse and gave it a long thick tail, which it's now curling around the trackball like a dragon guarding its pearl.

(4/4)
Time has passed--a series of closeups of gloved hands straightening loose jacket sleeves, applying a handler's signature quill-pin, the heavy tome of notes at one's side. Two hunters approach a figure awaiting them, dressed in that jacket and pin and book--It's a familiar figure, leaned up against the railing of a sand-ship, greeting them with a cheery wave. Bernard: "Ah, you must be my new hunters! I'm Bernard, I'll be your handler on this expedition!" End.

There's only the lonely horizon, migrating birds against the white fluffy clouds. Vyvian: "Goodbye, Bernard."

Bernard gives a little sigh. Fonder memories of him and his team of hunters well up in his heart, soothing what hurt remains. Their smiles are sincere. Bernard: "It's been an honor to be your handler. You, Oona, Aleu--I couldn't have asked for better--" Bernard is caught off guard as Vyvian approaches, hands suddenly on Bernard's shoulders, pulling him in. Bernard finds himself pulled close, his cheer cracking against Vyvian's warm chest. Hugging back, he can't stop a few tears.

( monster hunter ) you don't have to forget, but you do have to let go
#oc #ocsky #comic (1/4)
The first panel of a sepia-toned digital comic. Two people, one tall and broad (Vyvian) and the other slimmer with glasses (Bernard) stand at a busy dock, discussing goodbyes. Bernard has a heavy bag slung over his shoulder. Bernard: "It feels weird to be out of my uniform, ha. Hopefully the new one will be a bit looser! Did you say goodbye to Aleu already?" Vyvian: "Yeah, last night." Vyvian looks off to the side, a bit awkward, arms crossed. Vyvian: "It's been a good run here in Astera. I, uh--I just wanted to say, even if things didn't go how you thought...." A memory flashes through Bernard's head, tensing him up. It's a distant recollection of some warm summer night, the two of them a little too close.... A moment that never turned into anything more after that night. Vyvian: ".... And with Oona and all.... I'm glad we met." But Bernard collects himself, waving the moment off with an only slightly nervous smile. Bernard: "Don't worry about it! I couldn't be happier for you two!" Relieved, Vyvian's arms unfold, and he smiles at Bernard, who rubs at the back of his head with a touch of embarrassment. Vyvian: "....Thanks. Y'know, the Bernard I first met wouldn't have taken it so well." Bernard: "Hah, I like to think I've changed. I mean, the Vyvian I knew wouldn't have said anything." Vyvian: "True."

wip / i love blocking out comics. all the fun of typesetting and scribbling before i have to confront the reality of cleaning up a 16-panel "quick comic" that nobody will understand but me
a screenshot of part of a digital comic, currently in the form of blocky scribbles and clean text. two indistinct characters are talking about goodbyes.

Digital drawing of a chibi-fied rabbit anthro character on a soft grid background. He has a cute little clover wand, angelic halo, and conspicuous amount of blood spatter.... hmm!

2019 ✦ catboy blues #oc #ocsky #comic
Four-panel digital comic. Panel 1: "Paloma was always ugly by Catplanet standards..." At age 8, our poor catboy Paloma is bullied for having only ears and tail of a cat instead of being fully furred. He's "barely a cat" according to some dipshit kid. Panel 2: "But then he met an otaku patient at MISC!" Whoa.... this human patient's nurse is a real-life catboy!? Paloma, now an adult, cringes while just trying to do his regular nursing job for this weirdo. Panel 3: "That guy was super annoying. But..." Paloma scrolls his phone while in the work bathroom. He seems to be looking at anime catboys and their skimpy little outfits. Much to think about. Panel 4: Paloma's nursing uniform has gone from scrubs to a fitted tiny dress with thigh highs, although he at least included the nitrile gloves. He informs the hospital director that this will be his uniform. Are.... Are you sure???
