No timelapse this time. Krita can't really handle low-res recordings very well... Instead, here's the "raw" square-pixelly original— #LiveYetVirtual #art #MastoArt #FediArt #pixelart #Krita

"A cat that loves fish non-violently" was our theme last week. I took this as an opportunity to draw more pokémon because my life is nothing but odes to a corporate IP, apparently :P I had to draw that goldfish legendary whose name I can never remember. This […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

I keep forgetting to post this: For a combined #Smaugust and #Doggust we drew a dragon dog this month. A Dogon, if you will! And of course, it's also a pokémon! Well, a fakemon at least— Chihuacabra, the dragon/fairy piñata pouncer pokémon. A very original […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Somehow, we ended up drawing kissing capybara this week, in two parts. We tried. But they simply couldn't be aligned to meet each other halfway... #LiveYetVirtual #art #MastoArt #FediArt #illustration #Krita

I've also completed Jusant today. I'm not sure how I can talk about the game without ruining some of it. Maybe I can just say that I'll remember it for a long time. And that it's not as difficult to play as it may look. And also this one last screenshot […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

My Steam Deck OLED's right thumbstick's rim just broke apart today. I've kept it in perfect condition, until today. I tried to glue it back together, but it's just not possible. Ruined a good t-shirt in the process. I'm embarrassed to admit that I'm utterly devastated.
