impulsive thoughts won. puppy time.

image with three figures. The left and right two are pixel art fighting game stances of a werewolf and the human form of the werewolf. between them, there is a far higher-resolution digital sketch of the werewolf in a much lower, more feral stance compared to the previous iteration. the implication is that I'm redoing the pixel art of the werewolf with a new animation and stance.

a few things are also changed from the previous werewolf stance to the new one, namely carrying over more armored elements from his humanoid form. instead of wearing shorts caused by ripping the pants at the knee, his pants are now ripped below the knee with his knee bracers still intact. additionally, he has the arm bracers his humanoid form has.

so apparently my iron levels are great which means I don't have a deficiency there. time to figure out what else might be wrong with me!!

Aria @thatartisan.bsky.social · 15h

getting one of those "I should redo Wolf's idle animation again because his current one doesn't resemble how you draw him nowadays" impulsive thoughts and I don't think I'm gonna shake it. the wolfman desires yet another extremely difficult and time-consuming rework

pros of bloodwork: will hopefully find out what's up with my energy and general stability lately cons of bloodwork: aaaa I'm so woozy all i wanna do is write some boring fiction featuring my slimesona and i can't even do that ;~;

Aria @thatartisan.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

trying to force myself to remember that this sudden bout of extreme depression and extra-strength fatigue I am experiencing this morning is likely a result of getting my blood taken for bloodwork and that it will eventually pass. just gotta ride this out i guess, too tired to be upright...

Aria @thatartisan.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

i gotta get disposable income so I can have people draw my slimesona. it NEEDS to happen.

Aria @thatartisan.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

maybe if i find a stable job again I'll be able to afford bottom surgery prep

american elections are in a month and change so please get registered to vote/take a minute to check your registration if you live in the US. takes 5-10 minutes to do!!

Aria @thatartisan.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

one'a those nights where it's unlimited things to do but no things to do. everytime i sit down to do something i try my best to get into it but 5 minutes later i realize how much i don't wanna do it. damn!

Aria @thatartisan.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

the more I become aware of how much time I am losing to being endlessly tired the more pissed off I am about it. i wanna do things!!!!! i have bloodwork scheduled for next week so I am hoping I get some answers

Aria @thatartisan.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

i wonder if there's any correlation between having an awful PR presence in response to a deeply unpopular update, and accidentally starting a viral trend of your brand's mascot getting brutally eviscerated

Aria @thatartisan.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

apologies to anybody i promised a commission or similar work to, btw i have been overcome by tiredness the past few months and am currently about to take another nap because ough, I'm so exhausted all the time. I'm hoping i can get this fatigue figured out so I can do work on comms again

i don't draw black characters nearly as much as I should so here's a gal I just doodled tonight. thinking i might call her bella? i dunno, i'm not good with names. #art #digitalart #oc

digital doodle of a character, bust up. she's wearing a poofy jacket with a flared collar, though the jacket is drawn scratchily that not much detail is discernible. aside from that, she's got short, textured, curly hair with a fair amount of it held back by a headband, the remainder falling messily by the sides of her face as bangs. she has a confident expression with big, round eyes and a slight tilt to her head. while difficult to see due to the broad and messy linework, she also has a brow piercing above her left (camera-right) eye.

every day I wake up and I get so tired i take a nap and then i wake up again at 11 or something and then i get so tired i go to sleep again SOMETIMES I get things done but it's rare i'm so tired of being chronically fatigued what is Wrong with me

Distressing fact: pre-transition, I looked nearly identical to Alex from YiiK, if more handsome than him. Now, thanks to the power of estrogen I'm far prettier, which is a massive win in my book.

Aria @thatartisan.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

shoutout to that one time I drew alex yiik's head rotating for no reason. I don't remember why I did that but I remember titling this piece "Yiik Nye the Alex Guy" and thinking it was really funny #art #digitalart #animation

hmm... the new mega man game's boss animations... are not particularly good in my opinion.

everytime i complain about my body hair or facial hair people are always like "but your hair is barely noticeable" and "I really can't tell" but have you ever had your body covered in a coarse and annoying texture when your skin is softer than a lamb's bottom?? let me feel my soft skin!!!!!

Aria @thatartisan.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

horrible realization: in order to make more fanart, I have to stop making self-indulgent oc art that more often than not I can't show on main for either being extremely unfinished or not quite safe for work and I REALLY wanna make more fanart, but it's so hard to budget my energy ;~;

I thought about this scenario last night and how cute this interaction would be between the two both working for Jameson. I also wanted to show that Eda isn't always bullying Petra. #petraparker #edabrock #spider-woman #venom #trans #fanart

A full comic page of a mishap between Petra Parker, Eda Brock, and Jonah Jameson at the Daily Bugle. Eda accidently gave Jonah the SD card that she keeps to herself of cute pictures of Petra.

I finished this little side-project a couple days ago now and forgot to post it. I'll do the aerial normals at a later date, for now I have other things to focus on

digital key poses of various fighting game moves. the character performing them is a high-fantasy type adventurer with a long ponytail and a sword at this side. His moves are a combination of punches, kicks, sweeps, and claws slashes. The claw slashes are performed by him tapping into his lycanthropy, enabling partial transformation of his limbs.

Aria @thatartisan.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

been about a day now, which move is your favorite? it's really hard for me to choose

smoking in fiction is often associated with cool characters and is an Aesthetic(tm) I quite enjoy but if you actually smoke tobacco irl your coolness factor goes down by like 45 points in my book

just finished Gundam ZZ tonight and god that show is so good when it's just being genuine and not doing extremely weird bits about young girls. though turning the "haha he's into teenagers" character into a main antagonist was a somewhat inspired decision, really helped me to hate his guts later on

after years of avoiding it because it sucks I have finally beaten hell temple in la-mulana, even did it without the fairy vest. unfortunately now I have to beat the game with the reward you get for beating the hell temple, so...

observation about muscles

digital sketch showing the arm in two states: fully extended, and flexing. the first picture is the extended one, showing the bicep is stretched out and flatter from not being compressed, with the triceps being rounder from compression. The inverse is true of the other image, where the bicep is now rounder and the tricep stretches to make the greater distance
