Patrick Starr squinches his lower eyelids and sprouts angry M-shaped eyebrows while guffawing evilly at something offscreen in the lower left

tfw you sign up to make a jokey pinup of a conventionally unattractive character and end up kinda into it

Extreme closeup of Mrs. Puff, the kindly pufferfish teacher from Spongebob Squarepants, wide-eyed and sweating nervously.

late-day entry for kitty day, have Anni being a cute li'l lumpling 💖

My little grey torbie cat, Anni, curled up on the back of my couch. She curls a paw over her eyes to shield them from the living room light as she naps.

Anni in the same pose as previous, but with her head slightly raised and her squinty eyes revealed. She's detected the paparazzi and wants to make her disapproval known.

Sadly the phone camera can't quite capture the beige cast to everything, but the view on the way in, roughly right before 8am. I wish I could've caught the bit of Columbus skyline I see before I hit downtown; the buildings were just matte slabs of warm grey in the haze. mmm nummy~

Phone photo through OP's windshield at a stoplight in downtown Columbus, Ohio. Past the parked cars and a few mid-rise apartments, the sky is a flat, dull grey, slightly warmed by a fuzzy red sun. The sunlight reflects orange off a grey office building to the left. The color suggests sunset, but it's actually 8 in the morning; the hazy cast is from the massive smoke plume of eastern Canadian wildfires.

I hadn't drawn so much as a doodle in months, between buying the house, moving, general stress, and inertia. Boss isn't here and it's slow, so I sneaked in a ballpoint pen quasi-life drawing session via YT hnnngh god I missed life drawing (the results, for the curious)

Continuation of life drawing, with a series of warm-up shapes filling the upper left corner. A phone number has been censored with a "SWEATIN'" digital sticker.
The same slim feminine figure strikes another lunging pose, this time deeper and with their arms folded under their torso. Then they hit an open standing pose with both legs bent and wide apart; their arms are held in a way that frames their head squarely. The smaller standing figure in the center is one drawn from imagination after finishing my session, meant to reinforce my revisit to drawing fundamentals.

fukkin' really man

Cropped screenshot of a skeet from Anti Neoliberalism, who has a Che Guevarra pfp. My subscribed labelers describe the account as "Made over 30 replies yesterday" (a warning that the account may be a bot) and "AI Imagery Post." The post's text reads "#DataCenters / You know what to do."

If the AI image warning is clicked, it shows that Obvious Plant-ripoff AI image of a warning sign not to plant bamboo around data centers. As if Obvious Plant weren't annoying enough on their own, now sloppers are pinching their unfunny schtick and fedposting with it.

there we go, that should cover me until I can get caught back up (REALLY not looking forward to redoing the Black Knight fight, even after the nerf)

Screenshot of OP's muted tag interface. Below the "text and tags" and "exclude users you follow" toggles, the entire visible screen is filled with Deltarune-related terms, with the mute length set to 30 days. From the top, the terms are:

makin' my own cabinet shelves aww by my widdoo sewf~

A roughly 2 foot by 2 foot square of particle board clamped to a pair of black plastic saw horses by 4 red and chrome wood clamps. The board has been sawn in half with a circular saw (not pictured, but whose red battery pack has been disconnected and sits on the side nearest to us). Plastic safety glasses and a used 3M N95 mask sit alongside the battery. Slim chunks of excess wood sit on the ground beneath the whole tableau. Yay power tool usage!

the other great thing about TADC ep 9 now being online is that now we can pause and look at all the little details~

this is a cat checkpoint, relinquish your most recent cat picture

Slightly above eye-level view of my tiny grey torbie, Anni. She's loafed on the back of my couch, her little whitish muzzle resting against a folded-up light brown wool-lined blanket. Her forelegs are tucked completely under her but there is the barest peek at her right hind foot under her soft pale belly.

speaking of Jak zines, I don't think I ever posted my contribution to the last one. Whoops! Have some casual Torn PTSD~

Illustration of two characters from the Jak video game series, Torn and Ashelin, pass in front of a store's display window. Torn is on the left: he's a tall, thin, light-skinned elf man with long ears and medium-length brown hair pulled into thick cords. His face and ears are tattooed in an abstract grey sunburst-like pattern. He wears a jacket in different swatches of blue, and tucks his hands into his jean pockets. Ashelin is on the right: she is a shorter elf woman with long ears, lightly tanned skin, and shoulder-length red hair pulled into dreads. Similar to Torn, her face and ears sport a grey semicircular tattoo pattern. She wears a dark blue halter top, low-rider pants with a studded belt, and fingerles gloves and wrist bangles.
The window they pass shows a reflection of their shared past: soldiers in their city's paramilitary police force, the Krimzon Guard. Torn notices this with a haunted expression reflected back to him and the viewer; Ashelin takes no notice. Their reflected versions wear heavy red and silver armor and carry leather-bound shotguns, in contrast to their present-day casual civilian selves.

And of course there's Monkey Wrench's own Queen Tyneen, for the neon kaiju/reptile contingent. Bonus for non-boobed female reptilian anthro rep 👍🏻

Tyneen of Monkey Wrench. She's a tall neon blue reptilian woman with cream undercoloring, a long snout, piercing yellow eyes, and three pink-and-yellow pointed sails for "hair." She wears a red sleeveless jumpsuit and a high-collared, tattered capelet. Her right hand is three-fingered, and her left is a wicked red metal prosthetic with four sharp talons.

Mother Aughra from The Dark Crystal was the first to come to mind. She even has a wicked nonna 'stache for that extra great aunt authority~

Mother Aughra from The Dark Crystal. She's a squat elderly humanoid creature with an impressive mane of curly grey hair, long curled eyebrows and wispy white moustache, and a sparse matronly beard. She sports either a gem or a wart atop her vast forehead, and her face is covered in wrinkles appropriate to her great age. She wears a low-cut red dress and a golden amulet that rests atop her large sagging bosom. If only I could be this magnificent in old age...

first major home maintenance endeavor COMPREAT I think this was the first time this poor little AC unit had *ever* been cleaned D: but now, when I turn on the air, it shouldn't have to work nearly as hard as I'm sure it did for the previous tenants~

"Before" picture of OP's new home's air conditioner unit with the exterior grating removed. The entire outside is caked in dust, dandelion seeds, and some bird down.

The results of vacuuming just one side: A blue wet/dry vac's dustbin is halfway filled with great hairy grey dust bunnies. Mmm, nummy!

The same AC unit after a thorough vacuuming. It's still somewhat dirty as it's a several-years-old unit, but at least now the grey blanket of dust is gone and you can see some daylight between its fins.

The same AC unit, now reassembled. The top grate has been scrubbed clean, and there is significantly less dirt and debris on the side grating. A small blue wet/dry vac, a black-and-yellow nut driver, and a blue socket wrench set sit off to the right.

ticket acquired, and I will have that week off anyway for moving so ~hooway~ indeed!

Screenshot from Don Hertzfeldt's famous short, "Rejected." A small child stick figure wearing a baseball cap spreads their arms wide and joyously declares, "I am a consumer whore!" The necktie-wearing adult stick figure happily regards the child and adds, "And how!"

The image is digital inks only, so it is a stark black and white compared to the other images. Her tear-shaped vignette background is a series of brushstrokes that lessen in intensity from bottom to top

A greyscale portrait of a stern-looking anthro cat woman, whose fur is a gray mackerel tabby pattern, and her head hair is long, straight, and stark black. She wears a light puffy vest over a form-fitting, short-sleeved dark shirt that exposes her navel, and simple light-colored jeans.

Adding more to the "genAI will cost you more than you gain," this is the band I was ranting about a few days ago. I have a "show dislikes" plugin running, so here's where their newest video that leans heavily on AI effects is sitting: (not linking because I don't want to reward it with views)

fighting the urge every day to full-mouth chomp down on the Babybel Wax Ball of Hubris I keep at my desk

Closeup of the misshapen wax ball on OP's work desk, framed by other tchotchkes. It's bright red, about 2.5" in diameter, and roughly spherical, but studded with lumps showing the edges of past additions in lower layers.

The page I'm working on, for reference. I do already kinda break the 180 rule a couple of times (something I'm normally super anal about), but hey, sometimes that's the only way to make stuff work. #oote #OutoftheEther

Photo of OP's tablet with Clip Studio Paint open to a comic page in progress. The sequence shown is a nameless character running from a bulky bipedal demon as Sonrisa, a fat light-haired human woman, watches from behind evergreen trees. She looks on in concern, then looks down at a large rock on the ground beside her.

The nameless character struggles into a collapsed building to hide from their pursuers, who are close behind. In the negative space of the background, the previously-seen rock arcs through the air. In the final panel, the rock lands in the foreground. One of the demons is loosely sketched in in the middle ground, and is indicated to be looking back at the rock. In the background, the nameless person's hiding place and the other demon are thumbnailed in.

first a serious attempt, summoning from the how-to-draw books of my baby horsegirl past, and also a "fuck it, this is how I'd really do it if pressed" (og screenshot included with alt text)
