Had a really terrible start to the week so spent the evening drafting the design for Bazzite's entry into my FoxFetch project. I plan to add them and Jenny(Gentoo) soon. #Foxfetch #Bazzite #Linux #Art #Sketch #Anthro

Sketched design of an anthropomorphic fox woman named Basira, based loosely on the Linux distribution Bazzite.

No idea where it's from, but it must have been from a stressful time several years ago. I found this on one of my drives I'm scrounging through and yeah, this is has been the mood lately, lmfao

I brought up the focal point weirdness with AtProto, because it is not a hard thing to address. I often navigate the web with a keyboard and it helps me see see elements better. Putting the the effort into inclusive designs doesn't have to be difficult or take much time at all. #Accessibility

Like...this feels silly to me lol. there are several focusable areas in this weird little spot. They should not only be visually hidden, but programmatically hidden too...wtf Like if you want to see for yourself what I mean, refresh your page and tab through. The focus and order is weird.

Anyway…I am now cleaning my keyboard this morning and I take hardware cleaning seriously. It also gives me an excuse to wear my head magnifier which is great for electronics and model kit work.

The weather is still kinda iffy so I can’t do much airbrushing, which is fine Because I’ll just continue chopping away at my backlog. So these will be my next 2 kits before I start on the kits I saved for October as they’re perfect for Halloween season. These kind of are too tbh… #ModelKits

Two megalomaria model kits from Kotobukiya.

Tealful Eyes @tealfuleyes.art · 29/09/2026

This kit was…something. I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone that is going to stop at snap assembly because it certainly will need a lot of touch up and painting to look good. I took some photos as I built her, but if I had to give a rating it’d be like 5/10. #ModelKits #GuiltyGearStrive

Taking a little detour in my model kit plans for a kit I have had in my backlog for awhile. I’ve feel much more confident in my ability to paint skin and wanted to do my own colour palette for Bridget. So I’ll be doing this in 2 parts as a write up. #ModelKits #GuiltyGear

This however isn't necessarily a bad thing though and in fact can make for some interesting combinations that take advantage of it. In some cases armor like those with hoods and fur lining around the shoulders become noticeably large(yay). You can also use the scaling to emphasize areas better too.

Like a good example jsut comparing their body to how armor scales, especially compared to other species options. The gauntlets on this are HUGE and yes the 2B thigh highs have always been "tight" on everyone, but guuurl that's gonna be some circulation problems with that squish. Continued...

Playing on Hrothgar and messing around with glams. I forgot about the HAT TAX which sucks, but they also present an interesting challenge with their silhouette due to the way armor scales on their shoulders/arms. It's a fun challenge I have to play with more, but I like animations at least. #FFXIV

Didn’t really get to do much for my birthday with everything going on so I treated myself recently to a headphone upgrade because I saw them on sale and my previous cans were breaking apart. I can see(hear?) why a lot of people love the HD600 and it goes really well with my Fiio k5 pro too.

I'm currently working on backfilling my website with some older art and it's been a text heavy day, so enjoy some sketches I came across as I process some art I still really like. I have a whole folder of just...rabbits, but not as big as my mice and Imps lol #Art #Sketches #Anthro

Tried some of the flesh paints from Gaahleri as a base to see how different making dark skin tones would be. I like the results and feel I made a good range of colours, so will stop here for now. Will be posting the mixture ratios for these and previous batch on my site later for anyone interested.

Today's random art advice no one asked for: It is always important to take good care of your art equipment and supplies. Regardless if it is traditional, digital, a brush, tablet, etc…When you take good care of your equipment, it will take good care of you.

Oh right! I forgot to mention that I did finish the snap assembly for the Grande scale Baselard, but I am putting them on hold as seeing the actual size, realizing this may be great to scribe, and not comfortable painting eyes(yet) I need to rethink my approach on this. #ModelKits #Kotobukiya

These are coming along really nice so far. I’m also really happy with the formula I came up with for this tone of skin, it’ll look better once I put the matte coat on. I’m just deciding on their hair color at the moment and then I’ll pretty much be finished by end of the week. #ModelKits

Today is an art focused day, but before I get rolling I have to do some calibration again since I’m on a new system. It seems to work a little better on Gentoo and it has the annoying sounds back lol. Doing this helps me a lot, but I also just enjoy doing this.

Thing that takes the most time is setting up some games I play, but it made me to log in as I haven't had time to do such for a long time with everything going on. I've missed playing these two. I hope as things settle more I can play and draw them more often again. #GuildWars2 #FinalFantasyXIV

I have several “Egyptian” palette/design themed model kit projects I have planned out. Starting with a grande scale…I forget that when they say “Grande” they truly mean GRANDE. Also I know it says “Baselard” which is a blade type iirc, but I keep reading it as “Bastard” and I find that funny.

This was a fun endeavor and I remembered why I miss Gentoo, but dang I forgot how long some of the compile times can be lol. Still some stuff I need to add/tweak, but it's running smoothly and I have a solid foundation. Gentoo was my first distro so it felt like coming back home. #Linux #Gentoo
