I follow you on Tumblr and realized I wasn't already following you here. 😔 Can I still follow and enter, or is that unfair? (It's okay if so.)

Btw if they do age verification, I am NOT letting a vibecoded startup site like this have it. Identity theft in a box is what that would be.

I've heard the last one several times. (I don't say it myself, not being a lesbian, but I have heard it.)

Iirc just go into the gear menu and disable ai, and there's also a button to remove results from known ai sites. It's not perfect but it's better. :/

Zelda Bubble I worked on today. It'll be nice when it's done, I think.

My stack of inked but uncolored cards, several of which I'm really excited for. Pencil for scale, over a new sheet of potential cards. Gonna try to do a few more before having a color-thon. Pardon the lint on the corner.

Conan is NOTABLY one of the most tech-ignorant people in all of Hollywood, and not a fan of ai/algorithms, so in any case he was probably told "oh this is a series how to spot ai!" and he was like ok I'll read it.

Oh wow it's almost as if we started pasteurizing milk for a reason hmmm. Gee. It's a mystery.

they keep letting people go on record and say "don't worry everyone, we only replaced our concept artists with ai" as if the concept artists aren't the entire skeleton of the thing. you took the bones out, man. look at it flippin and floppin around. fuck off

It's because the statement was originally about humans ("man") but they changed it to one to be more inclusive. Which is GOOD in concept but "one" changes the meaning to sound worse if you think about it too long.

I use my phone for reference images while drawing. I also have a lamp to shine upon my paper. The phone has to be brighter for me to see it because of that. Then, it runs down faster. This is definitely not ideal.

Also Luberty is spending a shitton on these ads. They get their money specifically from people trying to just pay for insurance. People are GOING to buy insurance. Why are there so many ads for it!!!!

Did...I never post the full version of this? Oops! It's me! Well, my icon. The idea is that butternut soup is often served in a bread bowl, and it's orange, like an orange cat. Why butternut? Long story!

God I would draw this but I do not have the time.

Oh, yeah! I have been posting some WIP shots to the Tumblr; I might as well add them here. Everything seen in these has been inked, but none have been colored yet. I have over 20 inked cards waiting to be finished!

Mine's plastic handled but does not seem to be on the recall list, so...good! (Also thankful to have TWO extinguishers, and both seem fully charged still! 👍 )

Social media isn't even entertaining enough to die for (it's so incredibly bland these days) and yet! It seems nearly everyone is willing to take that risk??? Terrifying.

I am inclined to think, yeah, a lot of these low-vis vehicle drivers are using the beeps and cameras. :/

I have two cats that will headbonk me nearly constantly. Super affectionate little dudes. Another cat prefers to rub her cheeks on me, and the last one leaps up onto her hind legs to slam her head into our hands like she's a little ram. Cats are so silly and sweet. :)

This is why I have like four dictionaries on my shelf, yep.

He has a cult so maybe that's related? Nobody but his cult likes him so that's bound to be the reason.

I don't mind taxes because I like parks, roads, the National Weather Service, etc. I think all my taxes should go to public services instead of loser pockets.

I want to draw Eric Idle but I can't decide on what photo to use as reference.

I had an issue with a big box store where I was trying to give them a big lump of money. The system bugged and they did not recieve my money. A normal phone call should have fixed it, but no! AI loop hell. Good way to make it harder to get paid, store!

Good news! There are a couple of them coming up soon, iirc? I think one is like a 32 bit rollover bug.

Now here's the conundrum. If I do a portrait of Frank Oz, do I find refs where he's smiling or serious? Do I do modern Frank or old school? Hmmmmmmmm.

Iirc weren't those fully powered by the solar panels? (I could be wrong.)

I forgot to get ONE ink refill. So I did the absolutely normal thing and bought it, others, and a few more markers, to get free shipping. #smartfinancialdecisions (no, friend, it is not.)

Orange on the far right looks like Eugene Levy and Kevin Nealon had a puppet child.

Coat color bias is the same kind of thing that has people telling redheads to their face that they have no soul. (Which still happens! Today!)

I needed Copic ink refills badly, went ahead and put them on the credit card. I have about 8 pieces ready to color and 9 more that will be inked soon, so when I scan the next batch it'll be a lot! I added a Kofi link to the profile in case anyone wants to help with ink expenses.

ButternutSoop @butternutsoop.bsky.social · 20/04/2026

I discovered that to do the idea, I need an ink refill. The ink refills I need altogether come to about $100. Oops! (I have put off buying several and that's just where I am now.)

It kills me to have a drawing idea so good that it paralyzes me. Like if I try it and it doesn't turn out exactly, I'll have failed the glorious idea. I'm gonna do it because otherwise it won't get made, but it's incredibly difficult to get started!

Oh the Mando-Grogu one? I think the only ads I have seen were on the Oscars.

It would be like SNL's Celeb Jeopardy where the final results are deep in the negative.

ButternutSoop @butternutsoop.bsky.social · 30/03/2026

It's like that on every site I've been to lately, which isn't a good feeling.

ButternutSoop @butternutsoop.bsky.social · 27/03/2026

People are still doing that in 2026? I simultaneously feel better about my own life and shocked about the world. Wow.

I want an ev so badly but my car budget is typically $500-3000. My most recent purchase was a whopping $8,000 on credit (with some downpayment), thankfully paid off at this point, but it's the good boots vs cheap boots problem. Hard to get a good car 'cause I gotta get a cheap car. :'(
