Ah, cozy death!

Thanks! My process was “no thoughts, only blob” 🤣

“Your weapon, my liege”

This is fucking hilarious

I read #ocsky as #orcsky and honestly that’s a pretty good idea

The platform is less shopper-friendly to navigate, but a lot of artists I follow have been switching to Ko-Fi.

Art brings people together

It’s peak Creaturing, to be sure

It infuriates me to think of trying to imprison the memory of my magnificent grandmother like this.

We were all dumb college kids who didn’t know what we’d be doing in 6 months’ time. We didn’t need to own a house. Those landlords gave us the flexibility we needed when careers or life circumstances changed suddenly (like when I moved to Seattle to marry an idiot). But also a home, in the meantime.

They sent us fruit baskets, bottles of wine, and even ~an entire Thanksgiving dinner~ once. They treated us like family, even though housemates were in and out. You’d best bet we took the best care of the place we could, and rent was never a day late.

I had one in college. An older couple. They rented an excellent, fully-furnished house in a safe neighborhood for cheaper than some crummy apartments. They included utilities, because it was “easier.” When we got a flea infestation, they arranged and paid for treatment.

I liked the way alternate timelines were handled in Some Desperate Glory. I don’t always love the trope.

I might say fuck it and go back to being a barista. Nothing matters anyway.

It looks like a fucking Impressionist painting. It looks better than what I could do. Better colors, more expressive brushstrokes, chunkier paint texture.

I’m more afraid for my job than I ever have been. This plus my boss dying. Also my coworker, the only other painter, is retiring.

All I know is that it looks… weirdly great. Balanced color scheme, good texture, right number of fingers and toes, no weird artifacting. Worst I can say about it is that the shadow is maybe not the right shape, and the sun should be in a slightly different place for the lighting to be accurate.

Lab manager just forwarded me some images from a client and it looks like she was able to do just that—combine the figures from a portrait photo with the style, color scheme, and background from a reference painting. I don’t know what she used and I don’t know what I’m supposed to do with it.
