Memories of a Lone Wanderer

Reginald is in a capsule-like diorama scene of a memory to cherish. Surrounded in the 'Library of Knowledge' & starry stars above.

Reginald, admiring the sparkles and stars that descend to them like a dream coming into reality.

mushroom

#pixelart #sketch

A patch of grass with tall beige mushrooms with thin stalks and flat, disc shaped tops, with small lights floating in the surroundings. Behind one of the mushrooms is a black cat, which is about a third the height of the tallest mushroom, revealing their actual scale.

I can also feel my ADHD brain want to pull away from this which sucks cause I really want to share this! I'm thinking if I set it to Preview and if people wishlist it, that will help with the "hey people want this" which is one of THE top ways to motivate me.

Someone asks for my help? Top priority!

Sal (Comms Open) @gramophoneturtle.bsky.social · 3h

I think on VGen I can at least set the status to Preview so it'll show up on my Shop page and people can like... "wishlist" it? I haven't set up Shop stuff before so it's still pretty new to me. Something to look at after Monday

Sal (Comms Open) @gramophoneturtle.bsky.social · 3h

I swear I have not forgotten about this!! This past week I had some things take way longer than they should of which threw this whole week off. This past day has been me just taking a moment to breathe.

I'm hoping to get some time after Monday to sit down and finally get this done.

Coming Soon! Do you post to many social media sites? Is remembering & writing out all the tags for each site too tedious?

This spreadsheet will be here to help! Save frequent topic tags per site and pick them when you post to create one simple thing to copy!

Plan to release it this week as a PWYW!

A Social Media Tag saving and building spreadsheet screenshot. The top says "Social Media TAGS!!" which you can "Set Common Tags" and then "Build Per Site!" There will be support for Google Sheets, Excel and LibreOffice Calc.

The sample in the background shows the tags relating to Digital Illustrations, TWEWY and Neku Sakuraba have been picked and tags for Pillowfort, Tumblr and Bluesky can been combined altogether at the top of the spreadsheet.

Past Null looks younger than I'd like here but now I have something to work with. I love their long bangs looks ok when they wore bandages and how silly it looks without it.

Reaper!Father tried to get Null to cut their hair but it didn't work. Only Chisa was able to finally convince them :']

Sal (Comms Open) @gramophoneturtle.bsky.social · 3h

Null drawings, with one Father, from April 2024 and touch ups from Oct 2025. This was mostly me trying to figure out Null's hair and finally taking a stab at drawing Past Composer Null without being all glowing like.

#OCNull #OCFather #SalOCs #TWEWYOC #OC #OCSky

Collection of digital drawings of my OCs Null with a bonus Father at the bottom from 2024.04.30 & 2025.10.18. The top left is a happy present day Null, the top middle is an angry Null. The top right shows a distorted version of Null's coat pattern: "Null's coat Ivy brush REALLY messed up. But it made a sideways 8th note so it must be fate."

The middle Nulls are when Null was a Composer. Their outfit has a blue outer coat and a green inner layer, and they are wearing the scarf Chisa wears in the modern day - a light blue scarf that shifts to green with pale yellow foliage patterned on top of it. The left Null wears the scarf and bandages around their eyes, while the right does not. The text between the two Nulls says: "You need a hair cut" & "I can't see your eyes".

The bottom drawing shows present day Father with his hands clasped, eyes closed, and tears forming as he says some words of remembrance. Null looks down sadly in the same direction Father is looking. above Father's head, it says "Revisiting one important place they can't forget".

Ah yeah, it now says the account is deleted in my messages. That's good

All I did was post a Cool Fanart of Hornet Silksong and then immediately got a DM 🤷

Sal (Comms Open) @gramophoneturtle.bsky.social · 15h

Cool new Bluesky scam?

Heads up if you get a DM from bluesky-helper. If it's legit, whoopies, guess no more Bluesky for me!

Pina ✨ ADHD Alien @adhd-alien.bsky.social · 2d

Remember when I came up with "buttons" to explain executive dysfunction just because I had an argument with my partner about getting things done?

I made an entirely new series for ADHD Awareness Month explaining motivation & ADHD. Coming next week 👀✨

Page 1

Comic showing a person with black hair and yellow antennae struggling to explain ADHD-related difficulties.
Panel 1: The character looks startled as another person enters cheerfully with a dog, saying, “Heyyy, I’m back!”
Panel 2: The person frowns, “You said you would clean up!” The character replies, “I wanted to eat breakfast first…”
Panel 3: The character adds, “But I couldn’t decide on what to eat, so I didn’t.” The other responds, “Well, now you know better. Next time just eat something.”
Panel 4: The character, frustrated, says, “Don’t say it like that! I already knew that!” The other person asks, “Then why can you do it NOW?”

Comic continuing the ADHD explanation using a stove metaphor.
Panel 1: A stove without buttons is shown. Text: “Because my brain is like a stove without any buttons. I know I have to cook, but how do I turn it on?”
Panel 2: The stove stays cold. Text: “Knowing the consequences doesn’t turn on the stove.”
Panel 3: Someone stands nearby; the stove lights up. Text: “When you’re next to me, it’s like you spawn a button for me. You are an outside source of buttons.”
Panel 4: The stove smokes slightly. The other person asks, “What can you do to get a button yourself?” The character replies, “Uhh… I’m not sure… Medication helps a bit.”

Comic concluding the “buttons and stove” metaphor for ADHD motivation.
Panel 1: The character explains, “ADHD is a disorder, it means serious impairment. You can do chores because you have to, right?” The other replies, “Well yeah, I have to.”
Panel 2: The character points to a vacuum cleaner. “That’s because you get buttons for all kinds of things.” The other says, “Look at all those buttons!”
Panel 3: The character shouts at papers, “I did so many pomodoros! WHY WON’T YOU TURN ON?!” Text: “I don’t get buttons for mundane tasks—it’s neurological, not motivational. You can’t just ‘motivate’ a stove to turn on.”
Panel 4: Surrounded by drawings, the character smiles. “I only get buttons for interesting tasks.” The other person says, amazed, “So many buttons!”

No streams this week. Thought I still could but stuff has come up and it's easier to just cancel them.

Hoping to bring back a Tuesday stream to make up for it next week! See you all then!

Here's my birthday cake that I made!! It's chocolate with strawberry filling and I tried doing a buttercream image transfer for the first time. It came out kind of messy but honestly not terrible. :3

#twewy

A photo of a round cake with light gray frosting, a border of black frosting, red confetti sprinkles, and black cat shaped sprinkles. In the center is an image of Sho Minamimoto from TWEWY made of buttercream frosting.
