Aubo 🏳️‍⚧️ Shop update 10/24! 👻🧡 @aubryjoi.bsky.social · 28/07/2026
Did it 👍 (eventually) [ #cuteart #illustration ]
An illustration of a very silly, stylized white cat giving a disproportionately large & more realistic thumbs up. They have a goofy, huge open mouth smile and big blush. Over them it says “did the thing*” and below them it says, in smaller type, “*that was on my to-do list for 6 months and took about 5 minutes to actually do.” The illustration is off a bright yellow background.

RIP Sam Neill. A true Aussie (and Kiwi) icon. I’d imagine it’s lesser known to an international audience, but The Dish remains one of my favourite films of all time (despite it taking enormous liberties with the history it’s based on).
Poster for The Dish (2000). A sheep is standing on a TV playing the moon landing. The Parkes radio telescope is in the background.

Ohhhhh my god wtf!!! I am so sorry!!!! I would actually cry 😭 And I understand it's supposed to be 'positive' but it would still make feel so terrible... what ever happened to just saying 'this is so beautiful, it makes me feel a lot of emotions, thank you for sharing' 😭😭

I agree with you so much, I really don't like things like this... I think it's important to talk respectfully with strangers, especially because there are things like language barriers or neurodivergence, etc, that can alter how people perceive a comment... 🙈

Ahh finally getting around to looking at the new Substance Designer/Painter additions and the new tutorials by Louise... makes me inspired and motivated all over again! 🥹 Even though I still don't know what I'm doing in Designer, hearing Louise's passion makes me feel excited to try and experiment

May 6! 🥰 Omg that's so fun and lovely! I don't know why but there's like a feeling of an extra connection when I find other people born in the same month 😂 I had a lovely day for it, thank you! 💖💖💖 I was sick but it was still special and I was able to rest haha

Qifrey focused fanart, He is the center piece of the picture and Olruggio and their girls are in his torso, the girl all happily look at Olruggio. The y are painted in warm value to contrast with Qifrey who has cold values.

o h yeah... a little disappointed

River @rivertem.bsky.social · 05/05/2026
I'm so glad to hear that! 💖 It's definitely ok! If you are creating something that brings you joy then it is never wrong. Make sure to take breaks if you need! 💖

River @rivertem.bsky.social · 05/05/2026
Incredible!!!! I think your comics look gorgeous with or without colours since your story, character emotions and forms are always so on point. I hope you are just able to enjoy the process and even if you can’t add colours it will still be amazing! 🥹

River @rivertem.bsky.social · 27/04/2026
Sorry for my essay LOL in any case, I am someone that will always love what you draw no matter what it is, because I love the way you use forms and colour and your style and just everything, I love how much love you have for the characters you draw, and I admire you a lot! ❤️

Now that I am committing to drawing the superhero men I have reluctantly accepted I must finally... finally... learn anatomy 🫠 But I have been trying to enjoy it hahaha. Thank you beautiful!!!!

River @rivertem.bsky.social · 27/04/2026
and since I'm doing what I want I still feel fulfilled and just try to enjoy the process now. But like... I did a stupid scogan drawing the other week and even then I was like goddd no one is going to like this but me haha... but that is okay!! And usually untrue 😂 But it's those dumb voices, u know

River @rivertem.bsky.social · 27/04/2026
I took some time away to reflect, and now I just try to remind myself that I'm allowed to do indulgent drawings that make me happy, because that's what art is about... the joy of creating things haha. And I will always have people that enjoy what I do either way, whether it is just 1 or a handful

River @rivertem.bsky.social · 27/04/2026
Ahhh I know this feeling well 😭 And I still feel it sometimes. A couple of years ago it got to the point where I was constantly comparing myself to others and just feeling miserable, and it gave me really bad art block.

River @rivertem.bsky.social · 27/04/2026
And thank you 😭❤️ After a busy year of not having time to draw I'm finally back at it again and it feels more fun than before haha.

River @rivertem.bsky.social · 27/04/2026
I'm sorry you're going through that 🥺 It's a difficult feeling and I understand it, and it's hard to just ignore and get on with things. I think as long as you are doing things you enjoy, though it's not the solution, it does help ❤️ And if you need someone to vent to I am often around!

These are so beautiful 😭 The composition and the way you've rendered and the colours are sooo beautiful... and I really love how you use and indicate forms... always so inspiring to me!

Cyclops as White Phoenix. 🔥 Inspired by and referencing a Hope Summers panel in AvX #12 that was pencilled by Adam Kubert. #xmen #scottsummers #cyclops #fanart

Batman & Robin! Just wanted to have some fun practicing by referencing the pose from a panel in “If A Man Be Clay!” - Mike Mignola’s pencils and Kevin Nowlan’s inks. #batman

I don't play Tiny Glade (yet) because I'm terrible at designing anything to do with architecture, but boy is the soundtrack an absolute joy to listen to while drawing/painting/creative-ing haha

After starting to learn 3D texturing I've ended up with a fascination in types of woods 😂

River @rivertem.bsky.social · 15/11/2024
It's truly my pleasure! 🥹 That's so exciting too, omg! I can't wait to learn more from you, & I hope you're enjoying it as well! You're so kind and lovely, and I appreciate your offer so much. 💖 I'm trying to work out all my problems with just practice but maybe one day I might need your wisdom lol!

River @rivertem.bsky.social · 15/11/2024
You are such an inspiration to me, Louise! I've recently begun learning Designer and I don't think I would have been able to pick it up without your tutorials. Your work is so stunning, & I was especially in awe over your Sleeping Beauty project. Thank you for sharing your passion! 💖
