This show did fill a very similar void for me, a man addicted to mostly-cozy cooking shows with a dramatic element. As did The Makanai, and Midnight Diner! But I understand wanting the *one specific meal* and having nothing else will do brain.

Getting to the meet in the first place would be my failure point. So you've got a step up from there! (In person? You want me to leave my house? On time? With my ass together AND a social battery? Leave me where I fall.) It's why I just herd with online groups, they don't mind if I go feral.

#ArtComm for @ravmutt.bsky.social again! Another #MaxJagerman this time with puppy ears and a jacket. His Max is a werewolf, so, we do have to tease him sometimes. #Hatchetfield #Fanart #Art 🎨 #NPMD #Starkid #digitalart #fuckAI
Four drawings depicting different mix-and-match outfits of a floppy puppy eared Max Jägerman. None of them are shaded, as they are all flat colored. The first is wearing a shirt reading "I like being called a good boy" and a school letterman jacket for the fictional Hatchetfield. The next has just the shirt. A third with just the jacket. And the final one without any shirt at all, just his semi-hairy chest and the same grumpy expression. The signature reads Uragani 09/26.

Oh, I did that once. I was putting the Dewey Decimal codes on all of them. For some reason, the same number of books didn't fit on the original shelves. Now I have three huge boxes of books unsorted, and stored sorta nearby. It's been 5 years. The topmost books are now tables for other projects.

I actually keep tabs on this for funsies! My current return commissioner data over 13 years and 69 commissions is 45%! When I'm burnt out, I finish the queue, and go on hiatus. So while I've had less comms overall, the people who buy from me know they can trust me to get it done when open.

Here we have another Art Fight entry, Jingyi, the Chinese water deer owned by artfight.net/~Space-Cadet. She was just so cute, and while I was losing steam, it was nice to paint this one! [ #Artfight #ArtFight2026 🎨 #Art #TeamMystery ]
An anthro Chinese water deer is drawn with a softly ochre pink to yellow flowing gown, and three different bits of jewelry. Two pink resin flower earrings, a flower necklace, and a ring. She had big brown warm eyes, and a soft taupe and grey mixture for a fur color. There's tons of bows, and a flat mint green background.

Well, I guess maybe you've worked on already established comics for 20 years? You've only started them a handful of times! So it is still fairly novel! Kind of like learning a first word in a new romance language. Not fluent in that one exactly yet, but you'll recognize a lot of stuff on the way.

I've had this for years. It's burn-out from *gestures* w/out breaks. It takes ages to fix if you try to just push through it, because it adds more on top of the "to heal" pile every time you use up the ounce of energy from recooping. Goes from "need a month off" to "need 3-5 years off" real quick. 😭

This is Recon Seven, an #OC of artfight.net/~RainTalon92 ! I thought he was the COOLEST character after reading his backstory. He has so much lore aaaah! [ #Artfight #ArtFight2026 🎨 #Art #TeamMystery ]
A sketchy moodily colored piece of art depicting a wooden 'robot' character with a gas mask leading to their back. They are hanging out of a tree. They have glowing green eye disks, and a staff in one hand. They're wearing a loincloth, and a cloak that looks like living grass/moss, with mushrooms, flowers, and seedlings peeking out. They have three fingers per limb, that almost looks like a chicken claw.

Another #horror vibe for me, in Art Fight! This Jackal headed #noir detective is from artfight.net/~gunkfreak who has some great characters! [ #Artfight #ArtFight2026 🎨 #Art #TeamMystery ]
A noir detective with his suit flowing with movement, his head replaced by a jackal's due to supernatural reasons. He's holding one hand up, flat, knuckles facing the camera. With oversized teeth, an extremely wide eye, he looks imposing. He stands in front of a massive glowing full moon on an otherwise black background.

Oop, I should be posting ArtFight pieces more. I drew @aceacebabes.bsky.social's Bill Nickleman as my 2nd piece! He's so right up my alley with the #analoghorror #horror vibes. [ #Artfight #ArtFight2026 🎨 #Art #TeamMystery ]
A black and white digital drawing of a neatly coiffed man in a suit slamming his palm into a screen of a television, buried halfway into digital snow. The palm side of the hand is white in places from the pressure on the inside of the screen. A loud SLAM! is visible. There are glitchy red and orange captions which read DON'T TOUCH THAT DIAL, with the don't repeated twice. His orifices are all dripping with liquid static, and his microphone is slightly bent from his overenthusiastic grip.  Behind him there are hundreds of half-visible shadows with stereotypical smiley faces on them, completely dehumanized audience members. His teeth are too defined, his mouth open, and he is both threatening and begging at the same time.

I have yet to limit myself unduly. Most basic: Ketchup. Most advanced: Sauerkraut, stone ground mustard, ketchup, jalapenos, cream cheese or nacho cheese, lettuce, grilled onions, all on a pretzel or poppy seed bun. I am open to making it worse. Pineapple and bacon additions sound good.

I started using Photoshop in 2003, and swapped off it 10 years later and was shocked, I tell you, shocked at the feel change. Turns out Photoshop is inexact, and sluggish with cursor placement. It feels like drawing through mud, with input delays. I picked up Sai(& Sai2) and have never gone back.

The kicker is it's the same as when I lucid dream, I can feel the same "2ft to the right & forward" sensation, but my dreams allow my eyes to see it as if through the eyes directly, without being translated through an additional 'imaginary sense'. It skips the middle man and just implies it's sight.

Drives me nuts trying to figure out what end I'm on. I very clearly see a detailed red pentagram. I can use all my senses— but not through the same 'circuits'. It's bright and red! I can add textures! But it's displaced up and to the right, I can only see it with my 'mind's eye', not my actual eyes.

First Artfight attack! This is Biwa, owned by toyhou.se/Underscum :) They were SO fun, they just fell out of my pen fully formed, which is SO nice after artblock. Aaaa!!! Pretty kitty!!! [ #Artfight #ArtFight2026 🎨 #Art #TeamMystery ]
Biwa, an anthropomorphic feline character with a Kung-Fu movie style. They are various tan colors, with a more creamy tummy, orange eyes, and a blue and orange outfit. They have a bandaged wrap around their waist, and black pants with orange spots and blue diamonds, echoed on their tail. They are in the act of a flying kickflip! Character is property of Underscum on both Artfight and Toyhou.se!

🎨 Commission for @ravmutt.bsky.social of #MaxJagerman from #NPMD with his bosom out, enjoying Pride! Yeah, first commission in a while, I got spooked, but at least I got one done this year! And for Pride! #fanart
Max Jagerman, the bully character from Nerdy Prudes Must Die, re-imagined with a broader chest, werewolf fangs, a long sloppy doggy tongue, and two pride pins. One is Men Loving Men pride, the other is Puppy Pride, because he is an un-transformed werewolf and proud of it.

P.S. It's uh, against AO3 TOS to advertise or mention your fic writing being a commission. You can do commissions elsewhere! Then post it! You can even dedicate it. But you cannot make *any* reference to it being a commission, because that puts them and the entire archive in legal danger.

It's how I've sold stuff before! People go "OMG I love your—" and I reply "Thanks, I made it!" and wham bam suddenly I get a sale normally I wouldn't. And people get so excited and compliment you even if sales aren't an endgame. They think it's so cool to see your creativity on display, and I agree!

I see possible garlic mustard (crush leaves to find out, invasive, delicious), a mint (crush leaves to find out, invasive, delicious) and a dock (also potentially delicious, gluten-free flour source). Least, that's where I'd start in my big ol' botany book. Never trust an internet helper alone.

This is important: You can throw in eggs, in-shell, and they will hard boil to perfection by the time the rice is done. You can also use it as a hot pot for soup if it's a nice cheap on/off one. They only stop boiling when you run out of liquid! I also steam veg and meat w/ rice and sauce. :)
