This blog has some bad experiences paired with it, but I don't want to leave BSky entirely, so I'm migrating to an alt that I'm treating like an entirely new blog where I'm not even going to reference this one. I'm gonna tell me close friend group the new one, but no one else to avoid certain others

Didn't want to retype this all into a thread. Sorry there's not Alt text. The secondary account it mentions is Tumblr, not here.

If you got here from the Reddit post, just go ahead and fuck right off. This is exactly why I hate that goddamn website and didn't want to go there for fucking advice in the first place

Drew something in pencil for the first time in a while, to test out a pencil stability grip thing I got on Amazon. It works pretty well and my colored pencils fit in it! Only way I know to test pencil stability is drawing or hiragana, so the writing on the bottom says "すごい!" (Sugoi/Awesome)
A pencil sketch of a character with brown skin, pink hair, and green eyes. She is smiling, and her canine teeth appear extra pointy. Her ears are pointed. Her hair has one long strand in her bangs and is in a long high ponytail that ends in a curl. She is wearing a purple shirt. At the bottom, the word すごい (sugoi) is written in hiragana.

Today would have been my Granny Mary's 94th birthday <3 I drew this a couple years ago for my mom, it's based on an old picture of her

I don't often feel cute but I felt pretty cute today
A selfie of the OP. They are a light skinned Black person with square clear glasses and light facial hair. They have small gauges in their ears and also round earrings with Halloween-style designs on them in the same hole as the gauges, and a rainbow bandana. They are wearing a black and white top with two rainbow enamel pins on the front.

I wish I could figure out what I'm doing wrong. I ask for feedback, I try not to go silent for too long, I post about my progress, I ask questions about what I struggle with, and I can't even get any advice or constructive suggestions. I try to be nice, but I feel like I'm being ignored

Carrion Crepitations @ccrepitations.bsky.social · 19/02/2026
Would genuinely love some feedback on this idea, if any more successful artists wanna throw some feedback my way? Please? Or like, if there's other sites that would be better than Patreon to try this on??

I finished my Valentine's Day animation in time! It's shorter than originally planned, but I'm still proud of how it turned out :) (the typo in the background is intentional, btw)

Guess who underestimated how long this would take... I have like 5 days left to draw this and I need to Lock In if I want it done in time

Carrion Crepitations @ccrepitations.bsky.social · 09/02/2026
I have an art question, for anyone who can give me some feedback. If I wanted to start a Patreon, and I had commissions open but it was like, I had pre-drawn poses and the tiers were drawings in the different poses, with more complexity being the higher tiers, is that interesting to do?

Carrion Crepitations @ccrepitations.bsky.social · 08/02/2026
Having a lot of trouble with this animation. I keep deleting layers because they look bad and then feeling like the redrawn layer is even worse, and I can't get it to look right.

Carrion Crepitations @ccrepitations.bsky.social · 06/02/2026
Some animation progress? It's slow-going because I kept having issues with the proportions looking weird until I tried stylizing it some more instead of sticking to the rotoscoped outline, but god it takes so long to do frame by frame animation
210
Carrion Crepitations @ccrepitations.bsky.social · 04/02/2026
I should be working on that animation or finishing my existing WIPs, instead I started another WIP bc I finished Subnautica Below Zero and I am in love with my new alien cyborg centaur boyfriend
A very rough sketch of Al-an from Subnautica: Sub Zero. He is an alien creature in the form of a centaur-shaped being with crab-like claws on his arms. His face is a helmet-like shape without discernable features. The sketch is missing the more precise details of his appearance and has several visible guide lines.

One last attempt to post this WIP, after a full day of frustration and copying every frame to a new document, then having to resize all of those frames bc Photoshop thinks they should all be 5 seconds long by default If this one has sound I am just gonna burn my PC I think
110
Carrion Crepitations @ccrepitations.bsky.social · 31/01/2026
Jesus... idk what is different about this render that makes it not save like the last WIP video I uploaded. I have now copied just my motion outlines to a new file, but Photoshop has decided the best thing to do with that folder is to make every frame I drew a full 5 seconds for no reason
110
Carrion Crepitations @ccrepitations.bsky.social · 31/01/2026
Fuck it. I was gonna upload another WIP but 3 hours of trying to post it and having the video suddenly blast with sound that is muted on the Photoshop file and every way I can preview it has given me a stress migraine.

Carrion Crepitations @ccrepitations.bsky.social · 31/01/2026
Okay what the hell is happening. The audio is removed from my original recording. It is silent when I preview it in VLC. And then when I upload it, the sound is back???? I filmed my screen to get the movement recorded so the sound is just me breathing and my heart valve, but it's weird

I'm conflicted between "I bought a ticket to see Iron Lung a month ago" and "there's a shutdown protest in Minneapolis today" I wanna see it so bad but also I wanna support the local protests bc ICE is awful and needs to get out

Day 1 of working on an animation for Valentine's Day next month! I have a tradition with my friends of drawing a sexy Saint Dane for Valentine's (it started as a joke I swear) but since I've been drawing that anyways I wanted to do an animation instead. I decided to rotoscope.

Carrion Crepitations @ccrepitations.bsky.social · 28/01/2026
I literally just figured out how to do tweening animations, and my next big animation idea I thought "ok but what if I rotoscope this clip instead" because I guess I like pain

Updated my art portfolio! The one downside is I don't have my own website so I gotta just put it all here I guess
An image which reads "2026 Portfolio, Jasper Profio, Otherwise Known As Carrion Crepitations." The words "Carrion Crepitations" are the same as the main banner logo from this account.The top of the page says "About Jasper (He/They)". There is a drawing of Jasper, a Black male with short hair wearing a hoodie, leaning on a black and green colorguard staff. There is a cat curled by his feet looking mildly angry. The page says "Hello! My name is Jasper Profio. I am 31 years old, and moved to Minneapolis at the beginning of 2016 after gettan an Associate's Degree in Graphic Design from Trenholm State University in Montgomery, AL, in 2015. I have been making art under the handle of CarrionCrepitations for several years, and my dream has been to become a concept artist. I am also in the progress of a number of personal projects, both in game design and in creative writing endeavors. Numerous personal health issues, including mental health struggles, heart surgery in 2018, and a stroke in 2024 have prevented me from being able to work fully for many years, but I am working hard to overcome these setbacks." There is also an arrow pointing to the cat in the image, along with the text "(This is Carlisle, my ESA. He is 7 years old.)"A page titled "Soul of the Plot". There are two larger images of a person with light brown skin, freckles and navy blue hair. One is in a yellow skirt and a torn leather jacket, while the other is in a red T-shirt and shorts. There is a third smaller image of a pale man with a red mohawk and piercings, wearing a fuschia shirt and boots with a purple jacket. The text reads "My current focal project is a game idea known as Soul Of The Plot, with the name being inspired by the Edgar Allan Poe poem 'The Conqueror Worm', which states "Much of madness, and more of sin, and Horror--the soul of the plot." Once complete, the full game will revolve around creature catching and battling using the collected creatures, but all of the encountered creatures, referred to as Plots, represent various literary genres such as Horror, Fantasy, Romance, SciFi, Action, and Mystery. The main character, Cass Helix (shown on the left and right depending on player choice) is a resident of Macabre, the Horror area of their world. They are going on a test to become a Librarian, the name for people who wield Plots to create stories for the different lands. There is also a secondary protagonist by the name of Night Eiros who the player encounters at various parts of their journey. Night is a mysterious figure that appears in various towns, speaking individually to the Librarians in charge of all the different areas. His motivation is largely unknown to the player, but he is attempting to get the approval of the Librarians in support of reopening a banned area of the world, which is referred to only as [REDACTED] due to everything including its name being stricken from every record. He has a strong connection to Plots and the areas they are from."A page labeled "Creatures", with two images of 3-stage evolutions of creatures. One is a cat which evolves into a cat woman with blades in her tail, and the other is a large worm which evolves into a muscular man with yellow wings and rows of metal spines on his arms. It says "The creatures, typically referred to as Plots, have a number of different forms which they can grow into over time. These evolved forms are stronger and have more developed abilities than the smaller forms. The Kuneko (shown above) is inspired by a number of urban legends and internet tales, along with childhood terrors. As such, their design is a black cat mixed with stuffed animals and the Japanese legend of Kuchisaki-onna, the Slit-Faced Woman. Kuneko evolves into Chineko, then into Chisakineko. The other Plot has less direct inspiration than Kuneko, but is also a horror-themed Plot based around 'creepy crawlers'. The Blood Maggot evolves into the Pallid Wasp, which then becomes a Conqueror Worm."

Carrion Crepitations @ccrepitations.bsky.social · 24/01/2026
One more design mostly done! I may rework some of the details, but I wanted to try to finish at least one more creature so I did a quick version of the evolution of another Horror type; this one is Death Maggot, Pallid Wasp, and Conqueror Worm. May redraw these later, I'm rushing a bit

Carrion Crepitations @ccrepitations.bsky.social · 23/01/2026
I had to redraw this one bc I wasn't too happy with how he turned out yesterday, but this sketch turned out a lot better! This is Night, he's the secondary protagonist of the game I'm planning out
A drawing of a character labeled as "Night Eiros". He is a pale man with red eyes, multiple piercings, and a red mohawk. He is wearing a pinkish-purple shirt, a purple jacket, dark blue pants, and pink/purple boots. He is also wearing dark blue gloves.

Drew the two variations of the protagonist of the game with the creatures I posted the other day. Since these games normally have a gender option I wanted to make two styles, but to be clear here Cass is trans either way, it just changes if the character is trans femme or trans masc
A drawing of two characters, with the label "Cass Helix". They both have light brown skin, blue eyes, navy hair, and freckles; the left character has short hair and the right character has a thin ponytail. The character on the left is wearing shades of yellow, with a slightly-torn black jacket, yellow polo shirt, yellow skirt, and black leggings. The character on the right is wearing a red T-shirt turtleneck with a black undershirt and large burgundy shorts. They are both wearing a partial glove on the right hand which only covers the pinky and ring finger while leaving the thumb and index finger exposed (the characters only have 4 fingers on each hand).

Working on a game idea I had with creatures based off of literary genres. This one's a Horror type with stuff inspired by urban legends; the blade in her tail is two moving parts like scissors
A drawing of three evolutions of a character, labeled as Kuneko, Chineko, and Chisakineko. The Kuneko is a black and brown cat with large orange eyes and a pointy-toothed smile; at the end of its tail is a sharp blade. The Chineko is a child-height humanoid with similar facial features to the Kuneko, but with black hair over one eye; there are two blades on its tail that are about the size of large scissors. The Chisakineko has the appearance of a tall cat-woman, with the same orange eyes and toothy smile as the smaller versions; there are two blades on its tail about the size of garden shears.

Redid the design of Mystere I've been working on to fix some stuff I wasn't thrilled about with Her appearance; my mom suggested some stuff that worked well with the pachyderm details, and has generally just been great design feedback for Her

Lemme make this clear: If you think Frey saying "fuck" is a bigger issue than ICE straight up murdering someone who tried to leave while she said "I'm not mad at you", your priorities are off.

Been playing Subnautica and I wanna draw the big beautiful sea creatures. Posting a WIP bc I'm nowhere near done but I love her and have to gush about how much I love her
An unfinished sketch of the Sea Emperor Leviathan from Subnautica. She is a large squid-like creature with large horns, 4 eyes, pincer-like appendages and 6 tentacles. The sketch is simple lineart and many details are missing.

I made an idle animation for my game that I've been trying to remake with assets for ages! Progress! Right now the available version of the game is just text, so I'm excited to be making progress

Carrion Crepitations @ccrepitations.bsky.social · 15/12/2025
So I've been practicing rigging animation instead of drawing every frame, and I have determined that Horny is a good motivator for me so I drew self-indulgent NSFW of my fursona. There's no shading bc the idea of animating shadows intimidates me
010
Carrion Crepitations @ccrepitations.bsky.social · 14/12/2025
I'm still working on rethinking my character styles and shapes in general, but it's been slow going. So far on the project folder I've made for design work I've redesigned my fursona and reworked how I draw Saint Dane (bc I have a slight obsession)

Carrion Crepitations @ccrepitations.bsky.social · 14/12/2025
Decided to do a little work on assets for the game I've had on Itch.io for the past like, 8-10 years. I keep saying "I'm gonna make a version of this that isn't text" and then never getting around to it.
A transparent image of a character. He is blue-green with dark blue hair, big yellow eyes, visible gills on his neck, and large pointed ears with frills protruding from them. He is wearing a blue shirt that buttons up the front, dark blue pants, and dark blue-green boots. He looks generally anxious.

I spent all day trying to figure out rigging animation bc I'm tired of trying to draw frame by frame. You wouldn't believe how many layers this has and I didn't even move half of them Also I gave my fursona a haircut bc I cut all my hair off

Hey which of these shading styles looks better? I've been messing around trying to figure out how I want to do details and shading on my characters and I think I like the sketchier one but idk

Have I mentioned how much I hate the massive jumps in art tutorial explanations? It's always "Step 1: draw a head, Step 2: draw the rest" like I'm just supposed to be able to figure out the rest through vibes or consulting with spirits or something
Two drawings of a head labeled as "Step 1" and "Step 2". Step 2 has hair with a decent amount of strand detail and motion, surrounded by question marks and arrows. There is the sentence "How do I know these details" underneath it.

Anyone know any free art reference sites that don't suck? All the free photo ref sites I can find are horrible quality or pathetically small, or they're a "free trial" that means after ten minutes they want your whole wallet

Did some more drawings, one of Saint Dane in Book 10 young-and-regal form and an alternate in I Have An Unhealthy Obsession With This Character Vision The canon version of this man would hate me so much and it just makes him more fun to draw
