My husband agreed to fully give up twitter if I give up bluesky. So bye bluesky, it’s been real ✌️

So this is the current “finished”? Jexabell, and I just am not happy. Usually my shading method is to clip light/shadow to each flat color and adjust individually. This time I wanted a universal light, soo tried one light layer and 2 shadow layers. I don’t love it, the colors don’t feel right.

An illustration of Jexabell (OC) in various stages. All are the same pose; a vaguely Victorian and Edwardian mashup of clothing, her hair pinned up in vintage curls, holding a book.
1. the outlines
2. flat grayscale
3. grayscale with light and shadow added
4. flat colors
5. blue light and purple shadow overlayed

Blerg. I tried a different way to render a portrait, didn’t like it, and now my brain is like, “this cannot be done, can’t finish the portrait”. I know I can go back to my preferred shading method, but I’m blocked.

When Facebook first got popular, you had a section for photos, your friend list, and links. Because posting links was that infrequent. This was around the time teens would “sneak out” to the family computer at night. Just turn the dial on the speakers down so your parents don’t hear the dial-up.

“Women’s clothes should have pockets” yes, obviously we all agree and TODDLER CLOTHES SHOULD NOT HAVE POCKETS. Why don’t I get pockets, but I have the privilege of finding a week old apple slice in my child’s laundry? Cancel kid pockets. Only fake pockets until they earn them.

And the biggest thing I want is to be able to save wherever rather than having to run back home (and wait through the loading screens) to do it. So if ever pterosaurs are introduced, I think they should be for fast travel and saving.

You know what? Heck it. This year I’m putting out CC art. I already have one portrait icon pack up in itch for commercial and personal use, I’m going to expand that to more packs of the same style. But also just, I like making art. People who make games need art. I’ll give them some. Make game.

My current WIP, Jexabell Pendryn! the character I’ll be playing for the solo Gentleman Scoundrel show in Jan. Usually my work is EXTREMELY colorful, but for blades I’m taking a slightly different approach. She’ll be all b/w, with an electroplasmic streetlight giving her some dramatic green glow.

Steps of an illustrated character, still in progress. On the far left are a few references of femme portraits, Edwardian and Victorian dress, and some anime-looking duster coat.
1. “Photo ash refs together, adjust for cohesive perspective” under outlines of various colors, signifying the pieces I pulled from each photo. They come together to make a woman with a vaguely Edwardian silhouette. She has big curled hair with sausage ringlets falling over he chest, a ruffled blouse, waist corset and long ruffled skirt. She’s got a large coat draped over her shoulders and she’s holding open a book.
2. “Ink outlines, add details” same character but with maybe adjustments to perspective and body type, line weight and lace details added.
3. “Unhappy, change blouse” upda tee d outline of the same character with a different blouse, with more frills. MOR FRILLS DAMMIT
4. “Flat colors and textures on fabric” as it sounds, the flat colors for the same character in all grays. There are some slight textures on the fabrics to make them feel more like linen, tweed, and other knits.

I haven’t consumed IT in any form, but I’m under the impression ITs a clown because clowns were not scary at the time. So if the story were set now IT would be like…Mr Beast. If it were set 15 years ago, IT would’ve been Shrek. Idk if that’s right but the thought is Nightmare fuel.

I heard (ymmv) what makes humans dangerous hunters isn’t claws, venom, not even tools. It’s endurance. That humans could stalk a mammoth until it’s exhausted, and bring it down together. I’m looking at a huge, unkillable, “inevitable” mammoth of GenAI thinking, we can kill this together.

I have TWO distinct styles I have curated and honed over years. I’m not anybody special, but I really think opening myself up to an AI scrape would just break my heart too much. Posting a finish piece feels bad, it feels ominous. I know this is anxiety, but I still feel it.

Holiday traveling tip: bring a vacuum seal bag. You might need to squeeze clothes in there to make room for gifts, or a hazmat bag for your kids clothes, who knows. But they fold super small, so just pack one! (I bring one to Faire for my bulky skirts if I overheat, so they fit in my bag!)

HEY ARTISTS, how do YOU do alt of your work? I think it would be really cool if there was a way to add alt text after the fact. Sometimes we have to stare into the abyss of existential dread in order to find WORDS to describe our OWN visual art. It feels like marketing when it's not. 🧵
