#nobutsnovember day 5

Vent art
A rough pencil sketch of a sphere of all-consuming darkness. In the center of the sphere, backed up against a wall, is a glowing ethereal creature collapsed against the wall. They are surrounded by bright purple flames as they appear to be self-immolating. There are all-caps words scratched into the canvas above and below the creature. They read "Never Good Enough"

#nobutsnovember day 4

Some middle-school-class shading from me. I think I need to start following some tutorials. Maybe this weekend. Actually learn some technique
A sketch of snake scales, close-up. The outlines are rough and the side-of-the-pencil shading is rougher.

#nobutsnovember day 3: a twofer!

"Shift" a vent art piece

"Recycling Plant" an idea that came to me during work today and I wanted to get down on paper before it evaporated
"Shift" - a rough sketch of the side profile of a humanoid head. The person it belongs to appears to be mid-transformation. It looks unpleasant. "Recycling Plant" - a large, boxy robot appears to yell as flames shoot from exhaust pipes on its back. In front of it, sitting on a conveyor belt high above piles of discarded machinery and computers, a scribble of a protogen waits its turn for recycling.

"Crossover Episode"

30 minute sketch. Thought I'd try sketching a physical object using a reference photo.
A rough sketch of a Multipass from the movie The Fifth Element. The Multipass is for Shyra, and it lists her as non-human. This sketch includes some three-dimensionality and very rough pencil shading.

A very rough sketch of a creature peering around a corner. There is a large spiky monster in the hall who's spotted them!

Oh, yeah, I only play Factorio when I'm depressed.

Makes me feel like I can actually accomplish something, y'know? That my problems are solvable...

What do you mean "how many hours in it?"
Factorio as seen in the Steam launcher, showing a total playtime of over 1,220 hours so far.

It was always bound to happen, but it appears that Bluesky’s CEO is currently pulling an elon and targeting users who call her out or who label others as transphobes.

Attached is an example of the latter.

Screenshot of Bluesky. A moderation list that allowed users to label (and thus avoid) transphobic accounts has been administratively hidden for supposedly violating terms of service

Having thoughts about where to take my snake OC...

(art is by Cervelet of Lighope's character Mathias)

https://www.furaffinity.net/view/51639528
A comic. Mathias is at a checkup appointment after being recently TF'd into a snake by the mysterious doctor. Mathias complains that mobility, especially up and down stairs, is limited with the long snake tail, and asks for legs again. The doctor knows just the ticket, and presents a vial of red liquid. Mathias drinks it and is suddenly transformed into a snake-spider-taur. Incensed, Mathias asks why and the doctor glibly responds that Mathias asked for legs, and eight legs must be more stable than two!

Furmeme update:

One of my providers opened a new print factory in the US and the proofs from this facility came in this morning.

These look terrific, and are still cheap enough that I can hit the price target I want to.

So I think Furmeme has product!

venting toxic gasses (updated the meme text to get a little closer to my feelings)
The “Dr. Manhattan vaporizing someone” meme format. Dr. Manhattan is the text “being casually introduced to a non-maladapted worldview that seemed impossible to attain just moments ago” The person being vaporized is me.

Honestly really good. The practical effects were terrific and it was clear that the writers were exploring the concept with grace and […]

I hate modern computers
Text compose box in Discord for Windows. The text "Took an antihistamine" is being typed out. Discord has marked "an" and "antihistamine" as misspelled by underlining them with a prominent red squiggle.

So... Philips (yeah, *that* Philips) is releasing a "library of 3D-printable replacement parts" for some of their home products.

Interesting! Here's the ad announcing the initiative:

Here's the site: https://www.philips.cz/fixables
Still image from the linked ad showing a Prusa MK4S printing an electric razor beard-trimmer attachment. Text over the top of the video reads "3D-Printable Spare Parts" and the Philips logo is in the corner.

Here’s the progress on getting the signs actually printed… so far two swings and two misses.

I’ve got two more proofs out there that I’m waiting to ship back to me; hopefully they’ll look okay

#furry #therian #meme
A small display set up against an eggshell-colored wall. On the left is a color chart. In the center is one of my “Therianizing Radiation” warning signs, printed with 3M reflective material. It’s quite orange and is cropped poorly on the left side. On the right is another version of this sign, printed at a larger size and with the text rearranged to fit. The background of this one is a slightly-sickly yellow, and the black text is clearly bleeding across the yellow background. The margins are fine, at least.

Can you tell which of my VRChat avatars is for "extracurricular activities"? 🤭
Two avatar thumbnails viewed on the VRChat website. Both are purple anthro snakes in a 3/4 pose, but one is looking straight ahead with a neutral expression and the other is looking side-eyed at the camera and giving a toothy smirk.

A yellow warning sign in the style of an ISO 361 ionizing radiation warning sign. Sign has a stylized theta-delta symbol instead of a radiation trefoil and reads: Warning - Therianizing Radiation Risk. Ahead Area Dangerous To Your Humanity
