Yesterday, Yuvi preserved a Klonoa chara-den! This is an avatar you could use for videophone calls on i-mode keitai. Each number on the keypad corresponds to a different emotion!

i'm thinking Water/Poison for Gecqua, like a komodo dragon, or one of the strophrurus genus geckoes that shoots blood and gunk out of their tails at predators, since it apparently attacks with its tail. exciting to theorise regardless~

This all began with a concerned mutual reaching out to me, stating that they saw a notification that pointed at me using the Meta AI app and asking if my stance on generative AI had changed.
That’s when I learnt that Meta has been quietly using random people’s accounts to promote their app. The catch is… these people never actually downloaded the app. Including myself.

I just wanted to make this post to warn people. If you see a notification like that - know that it’s a lie, I never downloaded any AI app and never will. I’m an artist who values hard work and human effort, and generative AI repulses me to an unimaginable degree.

If you follow me on Instagram and you receive a notification about me joining or downloading Meta AI well, IT'S A FUCKING LIE. Meta is blatantly lying to us in order to make us download that fucking sludge-generator. I would never touch GenAI with a 10 foot pole.

Crude drawing of the new generation 10 PokΓ©mon starter pombon, a little orange pomeranian, with silly imagined evolutions. The middle evolution pombon has the same sized body but more fluff, the final evolution has the same sized body, EVEN more fluff and angry eyebrows

evolution just brings pombon further from the groomers

A photo of Thornwolf standing behind her art booth at an open air market with her kangaroo rat fursona’s face superimposed on top of her human face, with this quote from the blog overlapping the photo: β€œWith furry cons getting harder and harder to get into due to increased demand with the same amount of space, it’s worth exploring other in-person avenues to sell your art and products to a mainstream audience. While not all furry goods will have broad appeal or be appropriate for every venue, you’d be surprised at how many furry-adjacent items are enjoyed and enthusiastically embraced by β€˜normies’.” Blog title is β€œ5 Places to Sell Your Art and Merch Outside of Furry Cons”

Furry con rejection letters got you down? There might be more opportunities to sell your work to non-furries than you think. Read more in this blog by @thornwolf.com available to all FCoC members. www.furrycoc.com/blog/5-place...

can't believe "huh i feel like my left eye gets slightly dried than my right" was both correct and a bigger curse than i realised

TIL that bad enough dry eye can eventually scar your cornea, so keep those peepers wet if you don't want to risk permanent vision fuckery

source: meds effects are apparently now causing me said vision fuckery

3d render of a fuzzy mareep mid-hop, looking at a hoppip which is holding a tulip in its hands. the grass is also fuzzy, with a small white fence in the background. several tufts of cotton fluffs and flowers are scattered on the ground and in parts of the sky.

A formline design where the base shape is the mask of Hornet from Hollow Knight. Inside the mask is the formline designs- the torso of a spider across the lower face area, clutching an egg with infection droplets trailing down beneath the eyes. On the mask's left horn is a butterfly trailing upwards, with a chrysalis at the tip. On the mask's right horn is a hornet trailing upwards, with a larvae at the tip. The mask is off-white/pale yellow, and the formline designs range in shades from a light orange at the bottom, to a pale to dark salmon in the middle, to a bright red at the top.
