For Ertakar, a sign that a child has reached adulthood is by the act of killing certain prey animal all on their own. But in Talon's case, that type of criteria is not the best marker for determining if she's an adult, or not. (her mother IS very proud of her, but also very worried)

For my birthday in my discord server I held a call where anyone could request one of their characters be drawn as my species, Ertakar, and this was the result of the stream.

Characters and their owners: Peony: Shadderstag Gikata: Almonihah Lilliana: Peachie Vice: ViceKillX Anya: SpottyJaguar

Talon in her Erta form taking a nap with @shadderstag 's Samson because I thought it would be cute and it's funny to draw weird leggy creatures napping on each other. An exercise in weird poses with different body forms.

Wanted to draw some Ertakar but trying to save it for my birthday sketch request stream (tomorrow the 7th in my discord server, gonna be drawing people's characters as my own species) so sating my desire with drawing a bunch of random people's dragon characters that I could easily find references for.

Dragons and their owners: Lilliana: @peachiewizardart Asha: @ashacadence Admo: @cobaltxstrike Sobakasuhebi: @businesswolfstudios Ozma: @umbral-wind Topo: @topolis Mizgath: @xiromyth Shinerai: Shinerai Ekotaon: @lunarwyrm

The dulled out ones mean I have no strong opinions and I'll probably choose the option that lets me attack the most people I'm interested in.

In honor of the theme poll coming to a close soon, here's a fun game! What teams would you be on? Make sure to tag us - we'd love to see your picks!

Hello friends, did you know I have a discord server that I post all my art to, with ping role updates you can opt into? https://discord.gg/YpU6hhmKWW I like using discord a lot because I'm the social type, so I talk a lot about what I'm working on, in there.

I am a very organized type of person when it comes to spaces like this and like to keep all my art in tidy categories and threads to make browsing art posts easier and keep discussion all in one place.

If you ever wanted to talk to me at length, here's the place to do it.

Supervising a charity stream ran by Xenogelion, Joey Zero, and Nasuth, and had to commemorate a couple of events to some pokemon in the run.

2023 Summary of Art

It's been a weird year for me, but here's a summary of my favorite pieces from each month. (April's piece may have been posted in May, but the majority of the work was done in April and it was held for a May birthday.)

Another piece for a gift exchange in an art community I'm in, my victim being @cobaltxstrike and her character, Admo. More digital watercolor experimenting.

As a creator I am BEGGING those of you following creators, that genuinely wish to keep up with and support them, to use (and fund if you have the means) at least one of these alternative services ran by small teams, for example: Dreamwidth.org (classic blog service) CoHost.org (tumblog service) Pillowfort.social (tumblog/classic blog hybrid service) Itaku.ee (visual art gallery service)

These are some of my personal picks based on usability, services offered, and my preferred formats (long format and art galleries). They also all allow sexually explicit content. This is not an exhaustive list, this is just my top picks for services I want to see flourish. (and none of these services require invite codes to join.)

I DO NOT WANT to use twitter, I used it for so long because the AUDIENCE refuses to switch services. And even then I've slowed down on posting there. Most other creators feel the same exact way, twitter has been suppressing any artist that isn't pushing 10K followers (and even then can still suppress them) and more than half the people that are using it, aren't even seeing anyone on the service because of it so it literally does no one any good.

You don't have to commission a creator to support them you just need to BE there. Please just use the services that make it easier to see the creators you want to see.

it still confounds me that the denizens of this site can (rightly) call out how shitty the moderation is and its inability to keep up with false reports censoring trans people, and then see a poll where if tumblr goes down a good chunk of people are going to twitter

buddy, the place is owned by a vocal transphobe. it's a racist, antisemite, fascist haven now and they literally just took money from PragerU to plaster an ad for an anti-trans "film" all over the site

the usual excuse i hear is "there are creators on twitter who rely on it for money what are they supposed to do?" that's not how commerce works. the creators don't create a market to sell their work, the market is formed after enough people congregate somewhere so it's worth using as a marketplace. they're there because you're still there, not the other way around

"oh but i dont post anymore i just read it" your traffic on twitter allows elon to get investor money, because he can point to just your presence and reading activity on the site as proof the service is valuable

just stop using it already, cut the cord. delete your twitter. go to an alternative. yes most of them are still owned by shitty corporations but that's social media. stop using it altogether if you really want to disengage any support whatsoever
