I'm opening 1 emergency commission slot to help cover some immediate costs today. If you've been wanting a something from me and are happy with a longer completion window (end of December), it would make a real difference right now 💚

The characters are scattered playfully across the layout. 4 large close-ups of emoji/stickers - 1. a purple goat-like character thinking with their green hand on their chin. 2. a yellow cat character crying in a silly and exaggerated way similar to cat crying memes. 3. A bashful eastern dragon in teal and beige blowing a kiss 4. A feline-like furry with orange fur, small round ears, a red beard and tied back long hair making a big toothy grin.

Starting using Affinity 3 for commission work 🎉

The nice thing about Affinity 3 is that it gives my clients the opportunity to explore the source files of their commissions entirely for free. This also counts for past commissions - just open up the .af/.afdesign file in Affinity.

Finished emoji commission for Xumbra!
An emoji sheet on a muted green background showing an orange-haired anime girl mascot wearing green-and-red headgear and blue goggles. Their expressions include cheerful, dizzy, focused writing with a pencil, dreaded, excited with a “YES” sign, and serious with a “NO” sign. Another is pixellated with an "NSFW" warning. At the top of the image is a “caius nocturne” logo and “nocturne.works" at the bottom.

Will be posting work stuff again soon. But honestly I haven't been enjoying Bluesky lately, or really any social media much. And I'm already grieving and just dealing with my own stuff, so I think I'm going to be quieter in general.

I've been quiet lately. This was initially because I'm not really capable of handling bad news that comes in my feed at a time when I need every bit of strength to build a stable life.

Bluesky shares dynamics with Twitter, ones I don't like. I don't really like Point At The Bad Thing posts.

Not had any new work to show lately. I've started getting back into job applications because I really need it and I can't keep going without a regular job. Even though I'm unsupported making job applications because I'm in this crack in the system where I get no govt assistance 🌈

Obduction is still an incredibly beautiful game in places.
A fantastical scene in two vertical halves - the left half has lush jungle forests amidst severed, arching rock formations and to the right, the scenery trails off into bright cyan skies, large nearby planets and vibrant white clouds. The sky and clouds are behind some kind of vertical membrane, visible through watery ripples.

the usual vagueness is present here that is usually a bad sign to come for adult content.

bluesky is taking feedback on the guidelines at this link below. Let them know these are not satisfactory

My brother recently got a newer iPhone and installed iOS 26 beta on it. The spatial photos are kind of incredible.

There are many ways to make generative AI critiques, and I have made extensive filter lists so I don't have to the shit ones because my life is hell as it is and having to hear "humans are special beings who have souls and that is the basis of art" for the Nth time is not my idea of a good time.

⚠️ Do not send me money via PayPal right now

PayPal in its infinite wisdom has decided to unlink my account from my bank and will not let me link it back.

I need to shout at PayPal's data controller but in the meantime, my PayPal account is useless because I cannot get money from it🎉

Radio show art featuring a photograph on the top 3/4s and a black graphic area on the lower 1/4. The top area shows an old digital photo of two Zune media players resting on a blue coach tray table - one red and one brown. Each device is propped up on a knit cozy. The lower half of the image is black with white text and graphics. A small hand-drawn circle symbol sits in a large area of whitespace the right.

A soft purple showcase displaying a stylized cartoon panda character with neon turquoise eyes making a mischievous expression and bright purple smoke trailing from their lips. The top left shows the finished emoji design. Bottom left reveals a layered pink line-art vector sketch with construction lines. The right side presents a bold, close-up crop of the character's face, highlighting the angular eyes, curved smile and smoke. The “caius nocturne” logo appears vertically in purple on the left.

‼ Fight Chat Control - protect EU digital privacy! ‼

The EU may soon mandate scanning private messages and photos, possibly by October.

PLEASE, contact your MEPs now - the site has their details (for all EU countries!) and even a message generator to make it easy!

https://fightchatcontrol.eu/
Screenshot of https://fightchatcontrol.eu/ The EU (still) wants to scan your private messages and photos The "Chat Control" proposal would mandate scanning of all private digital communications, including encrypted messages and photos. This threatens fundamental privacy rights and digital security for all EU citizens. Currently: 3 member states opposing, 15 member states, 9 member states undecided You Will Be Impacted Every photo, every message, every file you send will be automatically scanned—without your consent or suspicion. This is not about catching criminals. It is mass surveillance imposed on all 450 million citizens of the European Union. Mass Surveillance - Every private message, photo, and file scanned automatically: no suspicion required, no exceptions*, even encrypted communications. Breaking Encryption - Weakening or breaking end-to-end encryption exposes everyone's communications—including sensitive financial, medical, and private data—to hackers, criminals, and hostile actors. Fundamental Rights - Undermines your fundamental rights to privacy and data protection, as guaranteed by Articles 7 and 8 of the EU Charter—rights considered core to European democratic values. False Positives - Automated scanners routinely misidentify innocent content, such as vacation photos or private jokes, as illegal, putting ordinary people at risk of false accusations and damaging investigations. Ineffective Child Protection - Child protection experts and organisations, including the UN, warn that mass surveillance fails to prevent abuse and actually makes children less safe—by weakening security for everyone and diverting resources from proven protective measures. Global Precedent - Creates a dangerous global precedent enabling authoritarian governments, citing EU policy, to roll out intrusive surveillance at home, undermining privacy and free expression worldwide.
