Been a rough month. Still keeping up with my unhealthy obsession with improving my art, don't worry. Hoping things calm down soon, but I suppose that's a lot to ask. Have this in the meantime. A janitor on e621 removed one of my drawings (after it was approved), so I made this: youtu.be/wP4FUahoKt0

Being compared to my lazy, alcoholic, transphobic stepfather just now has got to be the most insulting thing I've ever experienced. I've been forced to live around him for over a decade, and people act surprised when they see my temper's been frayed? Do you expect me to bite my tongue for ten years?

If Cairo and the @shoomka.bsky.social Greninja ever met up, this is probably how it would go

Cairo the Lucario and Shoomka's Greninja (fuck if I know their name) on their knees wearing chastity cages. The Greninja seems relatively pleased with this, leaning back, chest puffed up, revelling in the sensation. A bit of pre shoots from their caged phallus, and hearts float above their pleasured-looking expression (head back, mouth hanging open). Cairo, on the other hand, is more ponderous, paw scratching the end of his snout, saying to the Greninja "i don't know, man... it's more uncomfortable than anything...".

Say happy birthday to carnaltwin, everyone

Cairo the Lucario sitting at a table, looking sadly at their birthday cake, saying "happy birthday to me... all alone...". Behind them, their friends, Allen the Zangoose, Warren the Midnight Lycanroc, Clarence the Meowscarada, and Robbie the Gengar, look annoyed, screaming "WE'RE RIGHT HERE!".

Been sitting on this set of messages for a few days. Guess I'm feeling expendable more than anything. Bud and I are still friends, but it does ache a little to know they so easily give their affection to other people. We weren't all that special after all

A text exchange between myself, Bud, and War.

Cairo: Bud's on his redemption arc
Bud: No im still evil as fuck
Bud: But i har soft spot
Bud: For my
Bud: Lover
War: yeah you loyal fuck

Couldn't post all the drawings on one post, so here's the rest

Broadway from Gargoyles, overlooking a valley, a set of towers in the distance over the water. He looks pensive, gaze down, hand over his knee, kneeling. Perhaps he's ruminating. The moon hangs over the scene.

A lion lounging on a beach chair, hands behind his head and mane, one leg folded casually over the other, a bit of a gut sitting there with him. His tail overhangs the seat of the chair, resting in the water beneath. An umbrella and towel sit in the background on the sand. A foaming tide just kisses the legs of the beach chair.

So, here's a funny story. The day after posting the Lucario tutorial, my laptop stops turning on. I then spent the next two weeks waiting for it to be fixed in Toronto. Instead of terrorizing some other creative medium like I intended, I made a bunch of pencil drawings. mfw forced drawing practice 🤠

A Lucario diving towards the viewer into a pool, with an indifferent Midnight Lycanroc watching from a distance, sitting on a pool-deck chair.

A Gengar holding a balloon and soaring above the Earth into space, looking rather startled. A Zangoose is floating nearby, looking much more happy.

A wolf wearing a plaid, collared shirt, looking over a desk, studying some papers with an outstretched finger, looking tired and uninterested. He's wearing a beanie with the letters "Mx" stitched onto the brim. His pointed ears poke from rips in the hat. The moon hangs overhead out the window behind his head. A desk lamp illuminates the objects on the desk.

Broadway from the show Gargoyles looking over the viewer, arms crossed, wings spread, a rather wide frown stretching across his face.

Gonna take a break from drawing after that ridiculously-long undertaking (seriously, why does it always take me so long to make such simple projects?). Guess I'll find some other creative medium to terrorize in the meantime

Here's the most recent thing I've finished. After watching Zootopia 2, I got a little inspired and drew these two goobers. I mean, with how hard the movie pushes their relationship, it only makes sense to take it to its extreme, right? Attempted some more complex colouring again. Still needs work

Nick Wilde and Judy Hopps enjoying a movie on Nick's felt-green couch. A lone sock hangs on the back of the couch backrest. A bucket of popcorn sits beside the two, and Judy's reaching in for a bite. Nick's canine cock is nestled (what I believe to be) snugly inside Judy, who's held spread atop the fox's lap. Both look at ease. The dim glow of the TV can be seen on the far left of the image.

Same as the previous, except there's no colour. Add this to your favourite colouring book!

carnaltwin.bsky.social @carnaltwin.bsky.social · 18/12/2025

Drew this one at the end of November. Got super lazy with the colouring, but this one was only meant to be practice for the pose. I originally wanted to draw another one to go along with this, but I got lazy. Will probably return to the idea at some point next year. Hi, Sonar!

Sonar from Dispatch stretching his arms over his head, looking content with the world. An anatomically-inaccurate bat penis sticks out proudly from his waist. His hands are human, but his feet are somewhat bestial. Other than the dapper, dark-blue suit and red tie he's wearing, Sonar is nude.

Made this one for @ircluzar.bsky.social. 'Twas my first time drawing a feminine body type. Definitely more happy with how Violet looks than Cairo. He looks like a frigging rat, and I didn't quite get the pose how I wanted. Still better than I expected it to turn out

Violet Bunny watches with amusement as Cairo the Lucario rages at a video game while the two of them sit on a red couch. Cairo is screaming "WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?"

carnaltwin.bsky.social @carnaltwin.bsky.social · 18/12/2025

Made these in October to practice doing non-flat colouring. I basically just took an airbrush and scribbled until it looked okay. Not the worst things I've drawn, but I'm not sure I like this way of colouring. Will keep experimenting

Purple-blackish blob of symbiote sits on an outstretched hand, looking rather happy with himself.

A clawed, dark-furred hand reached out of a smartphone into the world. Little RGB-coloured pixels flit around it.

Took a few days' break from the animation/animatic to draw this. Weird to think it's been exactly six months since I last spoke with J. I wish I had thought of a better conversation topic. I miss you, man.

I accept that I'm in a low point in my life. Maybe I lost friends this year, and maybe I've lost interest in the things that used to bring me joy, and maybe I'm not good at the things I want to be good at, but I can take solace in the fact that I've been given the opportunity to have those feelings

Called Visa for the second time about the whole "forcing the delisting of adult content" thing. They were not happy with me, judging by the tone/volume of their voice. Mastercard, on the other hand, actually seemed pretty happy to hear from me. I was joking with the representative and everything

Slowly but surely working away at this animatic/animation thing. Work is sapping all my energy, but I'm forcing myself to draw through it. Here's some Zangoose I drew while procrastinating on drawing the stuff that actually needs drawing. Some are good, some are bad. You have the right to see them

A Zangoose portrait doodle (with whiskers!!!) and a standing Zangoose beside it, looking very much not like a Zangoose

grumble grumble

I'm going to outline for you exactly how the christofacists win, because it's an obnoxiously simple strategy but a reliably powerful one.

You know that post that's like "I don't trust y'all to eat the rich because you'll just target a bunch of doctors and actors and forget about the people who do the real damage?" That's our communal Achilles Heel.

Here's the play: Collective Shout organizes a bunch of phone calls to payment processors demanding the elimination of NSFW/LGBT/ETC content. Payment processors go "oh, that's a lot of phone calls, we should do something" and then tell Steam and Itch to comply with those demands or be cut off from being able to do business. Then Steam and Itch have to make a decision between cutting off an arm and clamping down, or take a stand and shoot themselves in the head, functionally nuking their entire platform which, especially for Steam, have exponentially farther reaching ramifications.

Then our community gets mad at *them* and start calling them cowards and boot lickers and profess never to support them again. And like, yeah I get that getting mad at Itch is easy when you've got nothing to lose, but what the fuck with "I'll only support you, the comparatively small business with no real power as long as you can singlehandedly and successfully fight off the international might of the owners of theocratic capitalism with no further action from me?" like do people really not see the distance between creators and Itch (that's like, what? 30 people?) vs fucking Mastercard??

When the Goblin has Spider-man under his glider, we start throwing shit at him, we don't go "Damn, Spider-man, you said you'd save us. I guess you suck. Fuck you."

So if you want to be more than a useful, reactionary pawn, I'm linking to a bunch of posts where smarter people than I are sharing payment processors phone numbers, scripts on how to talk to them, and other resources. If you do not pick up your phone and make that call you have *no* right to be mad at a company that has historically been pretty good about their support for creators and are likely trying to figure out how to weather this storm in real time.

carnaltwin.bsky.social @carnaltwin.bsky.social · 14/07/2025

Perhaps I should simply never talk with any of my friends so that I don't risk losing them by opening my big mouth and saying stuff I immediately regret. ...quite the catch-22, huh?

I think I got so caught up with all the friends I lost this year that I forgot about the really cool people I still have in my life. No way I would've come out of my university-induced slump if it wasn't for all of them. I should stop taking things for granted and be content with my given hand

Time for another carnaltwin failure update. Spent three hours drawing sketch frames for an animation today, only to trash them all because I hated the way they looked. The only progress I made was this frame, and I still hate the way it looks. Another blunder for the collection

The number one thing I'm most insecure about regarding my art is the speed at which I make it—I'm slow as molasses. This directly contradicts with one of the main things I like about art: it encourages you to slow down. I hope this will go away as I get more comfortable with the things I draw

Looking at other people's art is such a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it gives me the inspiration to want to make cool things. On the other hand, it makes me feel like I'll never even get close to being as good as others, especially seeing the speed at which other people can pump out art
