Messing around with synths I don't use for the fun of it (and for training purposes), and I have to assume this is a fairly old plugin because the layout of it is completely different from anything I'm used to. I don't even know how to describe how weird this all feels

Wanted to draw my fursona in a snazzy suit rather than the usual crop top for reasons. (Those reasons being that wearing a fancy suit feels really cool.) Also wanted to experiment with making myself look fluffier; let me know how it looks :3

And this is my last Art Fight attack of the year. Also my first revenge attack; this was made for Poryden (of their character(s) Castle/Black Dragon) after they sent me an attack earlier this month #ShareMyAttack2026 #TeamTragedy
And here we see a person living a double life. Esteemed bounty hunter Castle, when no one's looking, ducks into a cave and turns into the feared Black Dragon to do all manner of nefarious deeds, turning back into Castle when he's done. You can see how this duplicity takes a toll on his mental health; he knows if his friends were to find out, they'd never forgive him, and he wouldn't blame them for it.

I finished another one! This one is for @onefin.bsky.social, another musician I like, featuring his character Low-Poly Toy Fox #ShareMyAttack2026 #TeamTragedy
Low-Poly Toy Fox is going on an adventure. They're standing on top of a hill near an orange flag and a mean-looking red octahedron enemy. They've just completed an important quest; in celebration of this, there's confetti everywhere. They currently have 57/100 health and 2/100 energy (it's hard to regain energy when your windup key is too big for your head).

Got my first ever Art Fight attack finished last night. Made for @rinshirokone.bsky.social (one of my favorite musicians; please check her out if you're not following her already), featuring her characters Rin and Yun #ShareMyAttack2026 #TeamTragedy
Rin, a Vulpix, is staring at a campfire she and her friend Yun (an Eevee) have put together in the middle of a snowy field. Rin has been worrying about many things. Yun, sitting beside her, is comforting her, putting her paw on her back. Floating above the campfire are words, reading: "can't you see the light?" Rin is grateful for Yun's presence in this moment.

Fanart of Similar Outskirts (specifically, of his song "Cryotherapy" from his Titans EP, which is my favorite song of all time)
Similar Outskirts, wearing his classic white jacket and blue beanie, along with a brown backpack, is standing in an icy cave with some icicles on the ceiling. The cave is filled with a faint blue mist. He is holding a Pokéball.

In front of him is the legendary giant Regice. I don't know what Regice is thinking. Who knows what a 5'11" 385.8# golem made entirely of ice thinks? SimOut is probably some combination of awed and nervous.

Floating in the air are song lyrics:
And I'm right, right, right in the deep end
And I'll fight, fight, fight 'til the very end
Will you be my guiding angel?
Nothing to lose, so

These lyrics originally came from a sample pack somewhere. The sample just happened to be used very prominently in the song I'm making fanart of. It's a very important component of the song, though, and a fair part of what makes it my favorite

I have gotten what I believe to be the most important audio plugin of all time
A screenshot of Logic Pro. Some tracks are shown, a few of which have some notes on them. A red bar along the top of the piano roll editor (also above the tracks; not shown) indicates that this is the drop of the track; surprisingly, this drop occurs less than 80 measures in. Maybe the beginning hasn't been finished yet.

What's really important, though, is the opened plugin. You may not be familiar with this plugin yet, but you will be soon. The only visible element the plugin has is a gif of a cat bopping its head to the music. Below this, we can see the name of this revolutionary audio plugin: "CatJammer".

Finally finished another piece to post here
Kayula, a green anthro bat-eared fox wearing a green crop top, a black/dark gray pair of pants (shorts? sweatpants? you can't tell from here), and a focused expression is standing somewhere looking down at the camera. Above him are some trees, their leaves and branches in shadow from the even higher up sun, also visible. Displayed in the sky for artistic effect are three arrows, pointing away from Kayula in his direction of motion, which coincidentally happens to also be toward the sun at this time of day. What's he focused on? Probably lost in thought about dubstep.

But now that I've posted about that, I drew over this picture of a bat-eared fox with my fursona; it was good practice for trying to get this new design solidified. I might even make it my new profile picture, actually

[16/31 "a moment's oversight"] They say the hardest part of chess is winning the won game, but I've found it's a lot easier to play when you're not down on material. Provided you know how to evaluate your opponent's threats, of course. (Also trying out yet another redesign of my sona)
Kayula, a green bat-eared fox, is playing chess against a reddish-orange tiger. The tiger has just confidently taken Kayula's queen, but Kayula is concentrating on a single move to make sure he isn't about to make a mistake. Can you spot the move Kayula should play next?

[01/31 "years gone by"] I almost forgot that was a thing we did. It looks so stupid, but we were having fun, and that's what really matters.
An unnamed sika deer character, lavender in color, looks at her computer. On the screen is a photo of her and her human friend (light skin w/ long dark brown hair) when they were younger. The deer is wearing a purple t-shirt, and the human is wearing a fuchsia one. The two of them are holding fake mustaches up to their faces; the deer has a big smile on her face (although I may not have quite conveyed this properly), while the human has broken down into a fit of laughter.

A brief summary of several of my problems
A crude drawing of two platforms, the left one higher than the right one, separated by a wall. A ball sits on the left platform. It wants to move downward to the right platform, to reach a lower-energy state — a more desirable configuration, according to any physics class you've ever taken. I think. Unfortunately, though, the ball must pass through the wall if it wants to reach the lower platform and release its gravitational potential energy. Perhaps the ball can do it if it invests enough energy to get over the wall; this is rather difficult, though, despite the fact that the ball only needs to press one button. It's always a button. Why is pressing a button so hard. It takes very little physical effort to press a button, but it apparently takes a great deal of mental effort for some reason. And this keeps happening, and it never feels like it's supposed to be that hard, but it always is for some reason or another.

Been trying to teach myself how to draw by making a little one-off comic. Figured I'd see if anyone has any sort of feedback/critiques to offer, so here's the first three panels. Both characters represent me, by the way
A green fox wearing a crop top and shorts, facing to the right, is floating in a dark void. A bright white light (not visible, but reflecting off of him) is in front of him.A blue fox facing the camera, looking much like the green fox from the previous panel except shirtless, is floating in the void, his hands on his hips. Behind him lies the source of the bright light: a doorway of some sort. The blue fox has a stern expression on his face.

BLUE FOX: So... [beat] ...once again you stand before me.
BLUE FOX: When are you ever going to learn?The green fox and the blue fox are now both in frame. The green fox is on the left, facing the blue fox with his hands in fists, and he now has a similar stern expression. The blue fox is on the right, facing the green fox with his hands still on his hips.

GREEN FOX: You and I both know I need to do this.
BLUE FOX: No, you do not. I've told you this before, in no uncertain terms.

Thought I'd share a fun math doodle I did in class yesterday
"Pascal's Triangle, but 3D": a tetrahedron of numbers where each number is the sum of the three numbers directly above it. I've written out the first eight layers, before "stopping here b/c I don't wanna write 4 digits in one square [of graph paper]". This is then followed by some "Observations": 

"Rows in layers are multiples of rows of 2D Pascal's Triangle"
"Add #s in each layer
"1, 3, 9, 27, 81, ...     powers of 3"
"What happens when we add 'columns' w/i layers?
"1
"2 1
"4 4 1
"8 12 6 1
"16 32 24 8 1
"Very very interesting...
"This is powers of (x+2), which I know as describing the features of an n-dimensional hypercube"
