Hi Bsky, sorry for the radio silence. I had a job offer fall through in January and have spent the year so far scrabbling to pay bills + feed myself + my cats whilst I try and get a new job. Accepting bird doodle commissions where I'll draw you any bird you want for a $10 KoFi

(If you think of something that fits this criteria but isn’t a bird, that’s also fine!)
Hey all! I was wondering if anyone can provide some suggestions!
I am looking for species of birds that have
- Brightly coloured plumage on their face
- Neutral coloured plumage elsewhere
I have attached some examples of what I mean! (King Eider Duck, Cabot's Tragopan, Greater Bluebonnet, Verdin)
Oh my goodness this is DELIGHTFUL, thank you so much for the tag!! <3
Shoutout to this blind portrait I got from the lovely @peonygent.bsky.social too!! I love it to absolute pieces
God I love Thought Bubble so much ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Here's another - a personification of a stained glass window. The light above its head and its colours become brighter on a sunny day, and dull when it's overcast and dark out.

gharial of the cloth
Brother Gregor never spoke and often spooked the neophytes with his appearance, but he was a gentle soul and a phenomenal cook and knew more ways to prepare a fish than the abbot knew hymns
The nightmare hospital scene is gnarly as hell!
Happy Letterboxd Friday! I'm still watching horror films
What does this mean?
My brain: “what if unicorns being white are a product of decade long selective breeding which messed up their brains and there’s an illegal ring of Sphinx ownership because they have higher intelligence/can speak and also sphinxes are mad about it”
My sink as I’m washing the dishes: glug (type shi)
I’m slowlybut surely working on some specbio art of how I interpret unicorns and sphinxes (the latter of which has OCs) and it’s gradually becoming a vent for my strong opinions on the exotic pet trade and how animals are bred for traits that are desirable for humans but detrimental for their health
A drawing of a large, stocky man with short grey hair wearing a red ribbed turtleneck jumper, a dirty pair of grey-green fisherman's overalls, and large rubber black boots and gloves. He wears a fish mask that resembles a pirahna's face, and holds a chain in his left hand, and an anchor in his right. To his right is an image of a red and grey fish lure that is shaped like a cartoon fish (the inspiration for the image), and a mock horror movie poster titled "The Incident at Serrasel Cove".
Art server I'm part of has recently started a weekly "gijinka design challenge" which I'm super excited about! Here's my contribution to the first prompt - fish lures. A fish lure shaped like a fish is an uncanny idea - thus, Leatherface, except pirahna themed.

Just a guy. Experimenting with "eye-strain" colours

oooh that's been in my watchlist for a while! Just found a copy and will watch it later! Thank you!
(I'm watching every winner of the Worst Picture award as appointed by the Golden Raspberries, originally to try and analyse why each movie is so bad, but I'm 8 movies in out of 48 and feel Pain).
A screencap of Letterboxd showing the films Fantastic Four (2015), Catwoman (2004), The Emoji Movie and Madame Web, all with ratings under 2 stars.
My brain is getting fried soooooo good and crispy rn, yum yum I love watching mooooovies
Thanks for the heads up! I've been meaning to watch all of these, will put them on priority viewing!
And I appreciate the heads up! 💗💗 I can usually handle gore if I'm prepared for it (aka know that the film contains it), I just draw a hard line at "films" that are just "woman tortured for 90 mins"
I'm ready to start horror movie-mode for the rest of the month, so if anyone would like to suggest their favourite horror films, I'm always down for suggestions!
Here's a list of horror films I have seen - I'm down for almost anything, just not gore/torture-porn!

I am a little sad I haven't drawn much this year, but I'm not gonna be hard on myself because it's been a busy and hard one - who knows what I would have drawn without these games? And it represents something I'm passionate about - being part of a community in these hard times
Reposting some art here as I'm realising the bulk of what I've made artistically this year has been contributions to art games, which I'm not complaining about as it 1. got me to draw at all and 2. pushed me out my comfort zones!

A portrayal of a festival scene taking place on a street in front of shop windows. On the street, there are four humanoid demons - one is wearing a long green gress and holding a large garland of flowers on a staff. Two demons are holding up a huge green parade dragon on staffs, the dragon has a lion-like face and a long red tongue, and appears alive. The final demon is playing a drum. Two child demons watch the procession from a shop window in the background.
I did the starter image for ascalaphid's most recent telephone game!
Go check out everyone's amazing art over here!

A screenshot of the website Letterboxd, showing the posters for the films "Scream", "Angst", "Grizzly Man" and "A Field in England".
I missed doing Letterboxd Fridays!
As it's October I'm watching a lot of horror films.
There's several layers of irony because "HAHA look at me making reaction images out of one of the most devastating & horrific films ever made! I shall Immediately push the barn scene from my mind to make the child soldier look like he's offering you a joint" and you laught @ them bc "holy shit man"
Anyway I've watched almost all of Martin McDonagh's films here are my bitesized reviews:
In Bruges: pretty good
Seven Psycopaths: juvenile and kinda a mess
Three Billboards: absolute and complete tripe
Banshees of Inisherin: just okay but could have been great
I have like 6 edits of the screenshot on my phone where it's faceapp'd lmaooooo
I'm getting back into watching films again which is so nice, but ONCE AGAIN I get sooooo self-conscious writing my gay little reviews on Letterboxd against my friends who have films logged in the thousands, despite the fact they're basically a glorified diary entry for me. Don't judge me friends!!!!
