Zastie 🩸🙏 Giveaway VTuber model on pinned
@zastie
Live2D VTuber artist & rigger, TCG, birdwatching, some variety content. More of a behind-the-scenes guy, not primarily a streamer - only now and then. 🪶 Current hunt: owls at park in birdbox 🐅🐐🐑 TGS
While out #birdwatching again recently I finally hunted down a Marsh Wren, who I've heard on countless occasions but haven't seen until recently. Little bugger kept darting around, but did surface to the top of the many reeds to look around and also call. Took me ages to find among the reeds. 😭👍
Had a recent encounter with our resident Cooper's Hawk while coming back from #birdwatching. This lad snatched one of the House Finches (blurred), causing a huge uproar, and was about to enjoy its meal right in front of me, so I shoo'd it off. Whole swarm of the finches pursued it out of the block.
Head back out to clear the head with #birdwatching again, finally got a few decent pictures of a (Cliff) Swallow. Big 'ol swarm of 'em were constantly flying around and moving from place-to-place, hard to get any focused areal photos but a juvenile was kind enough to stay still for me while perched.
Reminds me of the cursed visually mistranslated yellow heart emoji:
Cut back a tree, utilized the branches for a scrappy WIP card display from some early physical (messy) prints from my card game, ft. some of the early VTubers in it. Still want to add side borders, but it's nice to have for now. Names of VTubers in alt text. 👌
Card game I'm still working on. 😭 Forcing myself to draw in a more painterly style has helped my art improve so much, but still only like 97 or so drawings done and there's a total of like 300 or so cards.
Early drop slime card designs for each type (Psychic, Dark, Vigor, and Nature respectively). I have several things setup to try and ensure each deck has access to early leveling, with these guys but also another set that have some leveling, lv.1 skill cards that similarly give levels, and others. 🧫
Something sheepish is afoot as @villavatuber.bsky.social bounds in. 🐑 Featuring 2 creator cards with her calmer, but well-guarded, sheeptaur form, and her transformed dragon form. Do check out Villava's lore video for those of you flabbergasted by "sheeptaur dragon" www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsWF...
😀 I got to see a Hooded Oriole in the backyard!! 😭 It's a female Hooded Oriole tho so it's not the bold orange & black. Also saw some at the park while hunting the Western Tanager (didn't see Tanager tho). This thing loves to taunt me, but now I know at least one is feeding in our yard.
Crappy telephone pole wire photos of my current arch-nemesis: the male Hooded Oriole. First bird I saw, in the backyard, that got me interested in seeing birds are now in season again.. and they HATE me. 😭 My goal is a nice close photo, since close is how I first saw them and they're SO PRETTY.
My TCG game is just a nice, happy, pleasant place where no bad things happen. 🧍♂️ Totally harmless. Going with some experimental ideas for takes on "demons" in this world, nightmare-seeded shadows and teeth at a base form, with some variance.
I keep forgetting I should be posting cards as I make stuff so have a late-night little hydra sprout. There's a level 2 Quest creature for each regular type, lots of early stuff in each type to help leveling and get the ball rolling.
Couple photos of the parents, for reference.

Rolling in another Creator card with @sorarinya.bsky.social! Another returning VTuber with more art now and plenty of gamba shenanigans. Couldn't resist doing both eyes as separate cards for extra flavor. You can primarily find Sora on Twitter & Twitch here: x.com/sorarinya www.twitch.tv/sorarinya
Showcasing another Creator card with your favorite internet person: @liftedpixel.net ! Creative artist, 3D rigger, and Pokémon fighter (among many roles) now sporting a blacksmithing theme to arm and equip your field for battle or for shenannigans. 💪 Another card ft. Jessica is cooking as well.
Had a lovely encounter #birdwatching and seeing the Black-Headed Grosbeaks come into season, happening across a tree with orange and thinking to myself: "This would look great with the Grosbeaks." 'lo and behold: one flew right into the tree as I was looking up at it. 🙏
Fixed the settings on my camera, met a lovely Double-Crested Cormorant. ✌️
Full card that this drawing is for BTW: (Might be too OP, will have to see during playtesting. 😬)
The process of going back and rendering some of the placeholder art pieces for card game project is pretty satisfying. 😅 Especially considering how BAD my placeholders were for some of the cards, just being really simple concepts. Still like 26~ drawings before hopefully playtesting the project.
Feels like my camera has had this constant motion-blur to it for a month or so now. 😭 Got to see one of the newly-arrived Burrowing Parakeets yesterday but ALL the photos had a blur, despite me standing perfectly still while taking photos. It was fairly still for most of them, too.
Happy to showcase another Creator card ft. @thatssonight.bsky.social ! 🌘🌕🌒 Weaving in the shapeshifter theme with mid-transformation art, this card lets you fiddle around with the different types with the art also changing aesthetics to match. 👌 Really happy with how this one turned out. 🙏
Been trying to speed-run a lot of card art lately, finally starting to take shape with stuff and how I want the game to feel aesthetically. Also been going through a dizzying number of cards just updating, re-phrasing, re-doing, etc to get an initial balance before first playtesting. 😵 270+ cards..
Got the totally second-best trainer card in full-art from a Wonder Pic. Only topped by Looker's total competitive dominance, of course. 🫡 I do like getting cool cards in other languages tho, it feels more neat.
