I’m making a music video that needs to be done by Friday and I was wondering if anyone would be willing to help out by drawing various characters overlaid over still frames of the video (draw anything you want but it has to be SFW and needs to completely cover/hide the human in the frames, and still use the existing background).

Also is there anyone I can pay money to to make a live2d version of my critter avatar for Facerig quickly but not too expensively? (say around $150ish)

Was watching the 1938 Robin Hood and when a particular bit of sword fight happened, I realized I'd seen it a thousand times before in Prince of Persia! Rad!

query: why are human

techbro (adj.):

1. Denying that software or the organizations developing it are ever responsible for perpetuating the structural marginalization of any members of society.

2. Approaching software and web design and accessibility as being about supporting the groups responsible for creating it at the expense of those reliant upon it.

whoever came up with this visual gag, I love you

Two more #drawings today, adventurers vs owlbear, and a mechanical dragon. I’m mostly thinking about contrast with shadows to pop out figures, with a little trying to use the blending stamp to get some depth of field.

I don't know if I can hope for this as a universal thing, but I'd really like it if people in my personal orbit--at least with me--focused less on how sorry they are about their fuckups and more on actually integrating the data they just got

misery has no inherent value

I don't need their suffering for anything. It doesn't help me with a goddamn thing.

I need them to acquire +1 Thing Learned and then just go forward with that +1 Thing Learned.

"I'm so sorry, I feel awful, I am in pain because I understand what I did was so bad, I hate that I did the thing I'm so sorry about" USELESS

"oh, shit, good call, thank you," EFFICIENT. REASSURING. PROMISING. CORRECT.

can we get everyone to just treat acquiring new social data like we would a new effort-saving thing Excel can do
please

"oh that's way better, thank you" THE END

“When you catch yourself wondering why your reaction in the moment seems to be bigger than it should be, remind yourself that new pain connects itself to old pain.
Losses chain themselves together.
Grief echoes
and must therefore be carried with great gentleness.” - Dr. Alexandra H. Solomon

the true measure of whether someone's old enough to have played AD&D is not their take on the word "race" and whether those player character options include newer groups like tieflings or dragonborn. It's whether they can rattle off different types of polearm.

#drawings so far today; experimenting with Col-Erase pencils on three fire giants, and normal graphite pencils for a ghoul knight, ghoul noble and portrait. Also b/c I was thinking of this awesome Wayne Reynolds painting, there’s a kitty!

Check your health insurance costs on healthcare.gov because income limits have been slashed. I personally was just a couple thousand over the subsidy limit but will now likely qualify for a $200/mo discount, BUT OPEN ENROLLMENT ENDS SUNDAY. So check on it NOW and save a bunch of money!

i shit you not

we walked out to the chapel building and the camp supervisors put on a play about jesus getting tempted by satan or smth

so satan is getting way into it to scare the kids and he runs down the aisle and bops me on the shoulder as like a "blehhhh i'm scary" thing but he messes up and hits me REAL HARD

so my fondest memory of bible camp is satan kneeling beside me in a dark church to make sure i was okay and cheer me up when i was in pain
