😱Rent is due in 2 days, so I thought about a fun thing:
💀- Any $200+ donation to get your OC in the game as a playable character! 🖤
⌛- Limited slots!
📖- Rules: humanoid bipeds, no armor, any gender, furries ok!
🗝️- Any donation gets you a steam key, $50+ gets you a portrait!

I had my little theory that the war on porn games/art/writing was, in part, to try to make AI scraping easier, but now I can add "it was astroturfing to take out the ethical, artisanal, actually artistic competition."

Alex Degen (Magic Serple 2025) @adactivity.bsky.social · 18h

This is cool after the war on everything called “porn” by platforms and payment processors. A machine that stole all your words can generate and sell “erotica” but you can’t haaa

Oh good, ChatGPT is getting "erotica for verified adults" later this year

Here's what I got for #PortfolioDay this time around.

I'm Drac and I make cool little low poly pixel art things for fun and sometimes for commissions - often anthro characters and robots but I like expanding my horizons in the 3D medium.

I also dabble in game dev in Unity for fun as well!

A low poly cartoonish vampire bat character with large ears and eyes wearing a dark cloak with high red color. The model has pixel art textures.

A low poly robot retro-futurism themed robot with dot matrix printer for a face designed by @breakfastbaron. She is leaning against a light green colored filing cabinet and her face is a sheet of paper with a print of a fierce looking smile on it. The model has pixel art textures.

A render of a motorcycle parked on the side of a road at dusk. It's lights are on and the silhouette of a mountain range is in the distance towards the setting sun. All models in the render are pixel art textured.

A low poly render of the interior of a castle corridor featuring large castle windows, braziers held by statues of hooded figures, a candelabra, a hanging chandelier, a large wooden door with metal evil skulls on it, and stone brick walls. All models are pixel art textured in Blender.

Here is the digi-tama from the example - my friend Bones' OC "Fella" for whom we took a lot of inspiration from Digimon designs.

✨DIGIMODIFY!✨
Now available as an option on my Tama-comms are the original Digi-style brick shells! Each commission still comes with a custom shell, an idle animation, and optional "special" animation ⭐

Digital art illustration of a black cat with their face ripped and shredded apart. They have several exposed sharp teeth in a large grin and one large red eye. The background is a bunch of red worms clustered together.

Digital art illustration of a cat named Raymond from the game Animal Crossing New Horizons. He is sitting in a dark room in front of a laptop. His glassed are cracked in one of the lense and he is staring at the viewer. His room is surrounded by garbage and trash everywhere with a maid dresses hanging on his wall.

Digital art illustration of 2 white cats with long necks and lanky bodies. A large rope of flesh and several small wormlike creatures emerges from their chests and attaches them together. Their mouths are also attached by a large wormlike flesh. Several red rooms are emerging out of their eye sockets and dripping blood.

Did you know I’m a knitwear designer??

Here’s a small sample! I’ll be showcasing individual patterns throughout the day/week!

My patterns are all available on Ravelry! www.ravelry.com/designers/ca...

Patterns below are:
Patricia Socks, Raven’s Roost Revisited, Betula Wrap, Passion’s Pledge

Two pairs of hand knit socks lay scattered on a patchwork quit table cloth. One light colored sock pair features a mini cable rib. The other sock pair is dark red with two light colored stripes on the cuff and features a simple 2 x 2 rib. Small green leaves are scattered over top of the pairs.

A white woman is holding a multi-colored hand-knit shawl under a tree; shadows of leaves and branches mark both the woman and the shawl. Her eyes look up to the sunlight. The shawl is striped with blues and purples with a hints of reds.

A white woman stands against a white wall holding out a hand-knit shawl that rests on her neck and chest. The shawl is 3/4 square made with a light colored yarn, dark brown and light colored stripes, and a light green lace border with a picot edge.

A white woman stands against a blue wall. She is wearing a dark caramel brown lace hand-knit shawl around her neck. Her arms are rested on the shawl towards her neck and she is wearing a caramel brown tee shirt and she is smiling.

We’re finally going to the vet today, but it’s going to be really tight, anything is appreciated and I would love to get more commissions even!

Kathryn Demon @ixellent.bsky.social · 8d

Jekyll needs to go to the vet because he’s been fainting or having partial seizures. He is 17 so we are starting with updated bloodwork but it will still be a few hundred dollars. Bad luck on top of everything else!

Consider donating to my Ko-Fi or perhaps getting a commission!

If you didn’t know, Alaska has been hit by a massive storm, causing severe flooding. Many Indigenous villages have been completely wiped out, with some houses floating away with PEOPLE INSIDE THEM. Please keep posting to spread the info. They need help.

News Eye @newseye.bsky.social · 1d

These are mostly indigenous communities in Alaska that have been slammed by the storm.

The local manager of a small airline fleet says he is the only one doing evacuations right now!

Defund FEMA and people are abandoned. Defund public media and no-one knows.

FYI, today is Indigenous Peoples Day.

Sheds and debris lie scattered in the storm

My computer isn't THAT outdated but I have terrible luck and end up with computers that for one reason or another, hit severe EoL software/OS support issues before they actually retire from their useful life.

I have an old '10s iMac that couldn't update to El Capitan - it's my media server.
