Thanks again for the chance! Once again submitting Kira :3

As for something to look forward to? Probably going to another con, maybe AC again! It's been too long, honestly.
A ref sheet showing off Kira's form. 🎨 @arandwaffle.bsky.social Kira is wearing a mint colored nightgown. She's got her arms raised behind her head, and has hearts in her eyes. 🎨 @ashleyloob.bsky.social Kira is wearing a sundress while twirling around on one hoof. One hand is held up to brush some hair back from her face as she looks at the viewer. 🎨 @nixsmis.bsky.social Anna and Kira are both running, side by side. Anna's wearing her black and orange sports bra and sweatpants, while Kira's wearing the infamous Adidas "medium support" bra and shorts. While Anna's smiling at Kira, a bit of exertion blush on her face, Kira's visibly sweating a bit more and ears down, vision locked straight ahead. 🎨 @pomfishee.bsky.social

Cat Date Photo Op, feat. @saiai.bsky.social

🎨 @sparxel.bsky.social

#furryart
Anna and Sai are standing on the Brooklyn Bridge's pedestrian/bike path. The camera capturing the scene is resting on the right side fence of the pathway, with Anna standing a bit forward of it on the path's white painted centerline. She's facing away from the camera, holding another camera of her own up to her face to take a picture. A little further down the path, Sai is facing her with his arms outstretched and a big smile on his face. The bridge, otherwise empty of pedestrian traffic, extends further out into the background. Behind its iconic arches is the Manhattan skyline, many of the fine details obscured in the hazy film grain. 🎨 @sparxel.bsky.social 📷 Taryn Elliott

And finally, the other piece from earlier today, is this one from @jack13245.bsky.social!

Anna's looking quite sharp :3

#furryart
Anna is wearing a suit and tie. It clinches rather tightly around her chest, accentuating her form. While most of the piece is in grayscale, her eyes are their usual sharp green.

Then, next in the backlog is a piece from @kingsus.bsky.social!

Heh, "back" log.

#furryart
Anna is dressed in her workout clothes and holding a bottle of water. Despite being turned away from the camera, she's giving it one hell of a side eye and a smug smile as she does so. She knows you know that she knows she looks good like this. 🎨 @kingsus.bsky.social

Seems we've got a slight art backlog... whoops

Here's a piece from @sparxel.bsky.social! I slouch like this way too often. It's a bad habit.

#furryart
Anna is sitting on a chair, with a fairly severe slouch. She's staring at the laptop on her lap with an extremely exasperated expression. She's saying to no one in particular "I don't get paid enough to deal with this..." 🎨 @sparxel.bsky.social

Finally got my own entry in that "legs up" art meme that had been going around :3

🎨 @metriccaboose.bsky.social

#furryart
Anna is lying on a purple expanse that could reasonably be interpreted as being some sort of bed. She's smirking at the camera, holding her phone in one hand and a can of 🅱️epis in her other. 🎨 @metriccaboose.bsky.social

Huh. Thought I was following here already. Guess this as good an opportunity as any to fix that error.

Thanks for the chance!

Earlier today, RTGame did his (very) long awaited Minecraft survival server tour, and honestly I'm super, super happy with how it turned out. I'm still smiling after he showed off my typewriter :3

Perhaps I shouldn't have played Fortnite Ranked to assuage today's background anxiety attack, but I can't deny that it was a fruitful session.

Bet :3

Here's Kira! Her ref is a bit out of date compared to her more recent art, but I'm curious how you'd reinterpret her :3

Last piece of art from 2024! I've wanted a piece like this for ages, admittedly, and Mad'S Duck did a wonderful job on it! :3

🎨 @madsduck.bsky.social

#furryart
Anna is participating in a bike race. She's racing on an orange road bike in a black windbreaker, head forward as she flies down the road. She's laser focused on her goal as everything else becomes a blur in the background. 🎨 @madsduck.bsky.social

I really like @kloemone.bsky.social's sona Kloe, and wanted to see what Anna would look like in her clothing! Turns out that she looks a lot better in pink than I initially anticipated.

Thanks again to @sparxel.bsky.social for the comm :3

#furryart
Anna is wearing the same clothes as Kloe, Kloe_Mone's stoat character. They consist of a pink crop-top sweatshirt, with a black bodysuit extending down from underneath to Anna's ankles out of frame. Anna herself is waving to the camera. 🎨 @sparxel.bsky.social

Luckily for you, that's how it looks like! It seems that uBlock Origin is incorrectly blocking some of the stuff it needs to work, but once you unblock it that's basically how it's set up by default.

Am I pandering by using the art you drew of her in this selection of art? Yes. Am I doing it shamelessly? Also yes.

One of the things for me was just the relative annoyance of having to type out the same text over and over for art pieces that I regularly repost on here. Ended up somewhat solving it with an iOS shortcut with pre-written descriptions for most of my art, including attribution.
A menu of different choices. The options read: Anna Kira Other Image OCR Show clipboard A menu showing a list of art pieces. Each entry shows the name of the piece as a title, the artist as the subtitle, and a thumbnail to the left.

Also, the obligatory meme :3 Figured I'd be a bit topical
A deer is standing in the snow. Text is superimposed behind it, reading: "I'm just a gay deer doing gay deer shit" A deer with its mouth open. The caption reads: "E!" A deer staring into the camera, with rather derpy eyes. The caption reads: "no brain (brainless)" A fawn standing in a grocery store, bleating. The captions read: "UH" "UHM UHHHH"

Then, Anna! You already know her! Bet she'd look neat as a deer :3

Funnily enough, I've already got a pink gay deer in this head of mine! There is also my cat, though, so if you wanna deer her up... :3

First, Kira! I'm looking to upgrade her ref eventually, so the other pieces of art are a bit more accurate by comparison.

Post a bnuy!

Well, she's sometimes a bnuy :3
Anna is bnuy. She's got a bit of a confidently smug expression on her face as she looks at you, smirking in your general direction. Her ears stand very tall indeed. 🎨 https://twitter.com/limazartes Anna is bnuy. She's sitting down on the ground, one arm reached behind her to prop her up. She's staring straight into your eyes, her gaze piercing yet friendly. Her big ears stretch once again far above her head, looking extremely pettable indeed. 🎨 @th3geo.bsky.social

Don't forget Das Baby, his long-fabled mashup between the extremely tense and solemn WW2 war epic "Das Boot" and the very-much-not-that animated movie Boss Baby.

No traces specifically, but there is a boundary between two large copper planes running through the area that burned (I presume a ground plane and a voltage plane). I suspect something caused that voltage to cross across the boundary. maybe dust of some kind, and that caused a short.
A view of the PCB file for the PicoGUS, with just the copper layers selected. There's nothing on the board where the fire took place.

We use them in several places across the house, like in bathrooms, under sinks, and in our boiler room. Any of them being tripped not only sounds the local alarm but also sends a critical alert to all phones and smart speakers in the house, telling us what happened and where. Excellent for triage.
A screenshot of a critical notification sent from Home Assistant, the smart home platform we use. The screenshot dates back to August 18th 2023 at 5:27 AM, a day when we received extremely heavy rainfall and had our sewage backflow valve fail. The notification text reads as follows: ⚠️ CRITICAL - 10m ago Water leak sensor activated The basement bathroom water sensor has detected the presence of water. Investigate immediately.
