Heya guys. Sorry for posting this for the billionth time. But maybe if you guys would like to give my posts about patreon a boost it would mean the world to me. I know I post this a lot and I don't take any help I receive for granted. I've only been able to make two new drawings since February. Bc every day I have been working almost 9 hours. I'm sick nearly every other week, my lymph nodes are swollen n I've been feeling incredibly depressed. I am from the global south, in the philippines, government help is near nonexistent. I am the sole caretaker of three disabled people. My mom can not do any housework, she is a full time wheelchair user, she needs care 24/7, insulin, adult diapers and kidneys that are under threat of failing if we don't watch her health, my dad has a chronic heart condition and my sister is autistic with a very low frustration threshold. Both my parents are diabetic, and I am the only person in my family who can work. I currently have three jobs, one in publishing, but I have a morality clause which means the publishing house can take back every single penny I make if I or the author fail to meet certain expectations. Anyway.. I have been working nonstop, my scoliosis is untreated and extremely painful, n for the past few four days I have been rationing a single can of spam and a few potatoes. Would mean the world to me if you guys could pick up a print, or subscribe to my patreon, or reblog any of my old art or send me a tip on ko-fi or anywhere else. Sorry and thank you again. I remake these a lot, but I sincerely don't take any of the help I receive for granted. Thank you again.

I wish I could share with you the lancer books I own :-( they’re fun, they’re like. One of the few books in its respective genres that actually mention not only disabled people, but disability activists!

WAUGGHHHH.. i love when this is included in worldbuilding.. it’s a core aspect of civilization since forever (i keep thinking about that one anthropologist who said something about finding a healed femur in excavation being the first sign of actual civilization bc it meant someone took care of the person when they needed external aid to survive until the bone healed with time) so it’s very nice to hear it gets recognized like that :-)

here’s more of my pmd2 team

silly comic in spanish below:

#pokémon #pmd #pmd oc #pmd eos #infernape #feraligatr #toto and chimichang #making a tag for them TEEHEE #my art #idk if i mentioned the origin of their names already but chimichang is named after chimichanga and toto after totodile lol #bc chimchar to me sounded like chimichanga #since the game only allows 10 character names i had to stick to chimichang but otherwise that would be his name LOL #i’ve seen multiple Totos online that are also totodile which.. makes sense if u think about it #also you might notice toto looks a little bit different than regular feraligatrs that’s bc i hate the design #why does the original design look SO THIN? THATS A CROCODILE. UM #the only rendition of feraligatr art that i like is the sprite art from gold silver and crystal. THATS IT. #so that’s what i used for my references #they did feraligatr so dirty in the 3ds models as well. god fucking damn #also happy 15 anniversary (in japan) of explorers of sky #AND LONG TIME NO ART POST LOOOLLLLL

JOINS MY RACOON HANDS TOGETHER IM GLAD YOU ASKED

Lancer is a tabletop roleplaying game developed by Massif Press. The best I’ve seen it described is as “Leftist Pathfinder in Space Feat Gundam”, which kinda nails it as best as you can. Absolutely AMAZING setting and incredibly fun gameplay. You can get the FREE version of the corebook here, and while unfortunately it doesn’t come with lore (you can ask me to go crazy with it if you want to) there’s some pretty kickass mech art in it by the author of Kill Six Billion Demons.

The art I’ve sent you specifically is from their paid module called The Long Rim, which I bought recently during the fucking worst hospital stay of my entire life. It adds new mechs and mechanics to Lancer (including an alternate leveling system that I ADORE) alongside new lore.

Alongside The Long Rim, a module I particularly like is the Karrakin Trade Baronies. I really like stuff like courtly intrigue and it once again expands in the core mechanics of Lancer, including more roleplaying rules and rewards. I really want to run a campaign in it 🐔👍

Other modules I currently own and can vouch for are Operation Solstice Rain and No Room for a Wallflower, which serve as a tutorial and a module once again adds to the lore + mechanics respectively. Wallflower also adds my absolutely favorite mech, Enkidu, because I have a Brand to maintain.

Also, want to fuck around making OCs but aren’t sure where to start? Masiff Press has you covered. Comp/con is widely regarded as a top of the line companion app + digital toolset, making creating your DIY scrimblo be incredibly painless. And while we’re at that, why not stop by RetrogradeMinis, a character creator made by fans and supported by Patreon where you can customize your own Gundam ungodly creation?

The writing is VERY good, being blth jovial and mature when it needs to be, but I’ll let you experience it for yourself. Just tell me when you reach GUN:GUN because that’s the single funniest thing I’ve ever seen in a game.

TLDR this is the banner of the unofficial discord what else do you EXPECT

THIS IS GENUINELY SOOOOO COOL. im going to post it so people can see and hopefully check it out for themselves as well! because this is honestly a great comprehensive guide to get into it wow.. tysm..

#ask #for later #i love to see new things like this :-) peacd and love on planet earth

what you need to understand is that textile work is basically the closest i have seen to Real Magic and the reason old ladies in quilting spaces are either the grumpiest or the most whacky cheerful people you'll ever meet is because they're basically wizards who have studied the ancient crafts too long

btw i know AI art's success is due to the current world economy of focusing on fast production and low cost for more profit. because humans take time and need money to make art and for the corporate world that's no good. but whether you are the marketing director for PUMA or a regular ass person supporting AI art accounts doesn't make you less of a traitor to the human experience. just my thoughts of course

i feel like the points northernlion makes about AI hentai is exactly how i feel about the AI art situation going on as of late. i know not all AI art is made for masturbating of course but like.. how are you going to enjoy looking at something made by a machine that doesn't know what it's producing?

a machine has no libido. a machine has no emotions. a machine has no lived experiences. a machine has no system of beliefs. a machine has no fetishes or kinks. a machine is not a member of a community. a machine doesn't dream. a machine doesn't have goals or aspirations. a machine lacks wanting. what is the flavor in looking at art and knowing its source is devoid of Anything?

#blog tag #i feel like that's probably all i have to say about ai art for now. there's a lot to it #that should definitely be addressed #like how ai art engines use so many natural resources to produce such amounts of digital data #or how people behind testing ai are people from the global south being paid pennies and see traumatizing content every single day #it's too much. it's dystopian or however you call it.

Why is it that the buzz around the Central World Kitchen massacre lasted so long it practically drowned out everything else, but the ongoing, daily attacks on the Palestine Red Crescent Society don’t get any coverage? Israeli settlers have not stopped at Ramallah, the attack from a few days ago that injured multiple Palestinians; now they’ve moved on to al-Mughayir, a village near it, and the injuries coming out of that are equally barbaric. But it’s not just normal individuals they’re attacking—they’re opening fire on paramedics trying to reach those wounded too.

Maybe this is the wrong platform to pose this question given the average tumblr user but

Is it just me or did our generation (those of is who are currently 20-30 ish) just not get the opportunity to be young in the 'standard' sense?

Like, everyone I talk to who's over 40 has all their wild stories about their teens and 20s, being young and dumb, and then I talk to my friends and coworkers and classmates, and we just... dont.
