I may have developed an obsession with our avian buddies, and this will undoubtedly be reflected in some of the projects I am slowly tinkering with and mulling over. First off we have this activity you can grab for free over on itch - Wing It!

Surprised Eel Historian, PhD @greenleejw.bsky.social · 28/03/2026

Several years ago, on a whim, I started drawing a map of an eel's life travels as seen by the eel. I figured an eel thinks about its life as a linear journey, rather than a there-and-back again adventure. So I wanted to do a map to reflect this. This morning, on another whim, I finished the map!

A long, skinny map titled: "Life and Travels of the European Eel" with a subtitle reading: "From the Eel's Perspective." A label at the bottom of the map reads: "Begin Here." The map top half of the map is an mirror copy of the bottom half.

I will put the full text of the column in the alt text in an image in the next post in the thread.

The map goes from the bottom of the page up, starting in the Sargasso Sea. An set of arrows show the eels paths to shore, then up a river and into a marshland. The arrows continue up the page to show the eel leaving the marshland and heading back downstream, and out to sea. The land is green and verdant at the bottom of the map, because the eels migrate upstream in the spring. The land is brown and dry at the top of the map, because eels migrate downstream in the autumn.

A column of text on the side tells about the eels' journeys and changes. It is more text than I can relate in the space allowed here. Each paragraph has an arrow pointing up to the next one, and they are designed to be read from the bottom of the page going upwards.

Alt text needs to convey what is in the image but how flowery or detailed should you be? Generally, the description needs to match the importance of the image. If the focus of the post is the image, give it a detailed description. If it's just decorative, write that. However, for other things....

The knight stood, triumphant, over the prostrate dragon. He raised his sword high above his head and- "I wouldn't if i were you" The voice was in his head. Confused, he glanced around. A black cat was cleaning a paw, casually nearby. He raised the sword again. "Are you REALLY, really sure?" /1

Today I finished a chibi drawing of the main characters in my current graphic novel. :3 Zalt, a royal messenger and Rou, a village witch. I might animate them with live2d later.

Two chibis, the person to the left have short burgundy colored hair, light blue eyes and three birthmarks. He is wearing a purple fancy 1800s jacket, a blue messenger bag, dark blue pants and high heeled shoes for riding.

The other person is shorter and has long wavy brown hair put up in a bun. One part of their long bangs is loose and hangs over the right side of their face. They also have a side cut were they are wearing a pink flower in their hair. They have 2 scars on their face, one over their left eyebrow and the other starts under the same eye and stretches over the ear and where they have their hair side cut. They have brown eyes. They are wearing a pink short sleeved shirt, a large green apron with a front pocket where there is a vial of something and two side pockets. They have dark greyish green harem pants and a pair of sandals. They also have a glowing green crystal hanging from their left ear.

I came across an outdated guide on image grid sizing crop/proportions for bsky earlier, and I felt it was important to create an updated version! Please use this new guide instead!

Up-to-date BlueSky Crop Aspect Ratio
Crop Sizes for Bluesky as of 18 Oct 2024

By default, single images are uncropped. If image is too tall (Exceeds the 1:2 aspect ratio) then it will be cropped. Single images that are too tall may be scaled down but aspect ratio is preserved

With two images, both of them share a square aspect ratio of 1:1

For three images, the first image is square (1:1) while the other two are half-squares (2:1)

And for 4 images, all of them are 3:2

It's nice to see so many people come here! It may be time for a little reintroduction then. :) I'm Zoe, I mostly paint fantasy illustrations, and I love cats.

There's a figure standing upright, with its face covered by a thin, dark fabric dissolving into a swarm of insects. The figure wears a hat with a golden replica of one insect and holds a golden ceremonial knife it's using to slice its palm open, releasing yet more of these insects. The bugs are black and golden, winged and have large open jaws.

A botanist with a love for felines gently reprimands one of his cats for the latest mischievous deed.

A dark skinned woman stands in front of a broken blue stained glass window. She’s crying but has a somewhat serene expression. The woman’s skin is crisscrossed by cracks repaired with gold. She’s surrounded by wilted flowers. In her hands are two lively swallows made of light. The light coming from the birds swirls around the image, giving life to the previously wilted flowers.
On the back side of the book cover we see two more birds dancing around a broken vase, they too are reviving flowers with their light.

Sunset scene with a painter fully engrossed in his work. He's covered in paint smudges, and he's absentmindedly feeding a de-winged horsefly to his harshest critic: a toad.
