halloween alexa, ringmaster edition 🎩💗

[ #art #OCart #halloween #OCtober ]

Digital illustration of Alexa, a half-elven woman with pale skin, blue eyes and long red hair. She's wearing shimmery makeup and a circus ringmaster outfit. A heart-shaped spotlight is shining on her. She's holding a whip which is snapping in the air above her, as she touches a gloved hand to her top hat and smiles at the viewer.

You don't make anyone do anything. You care about your OC. That's it that all. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Like I eventually gave up after 12+ tries soft reseting in the OG Legends, but now… ugh. Really wish they would just make the ratio 50/50 for starters in games when breeding isn't even a mechanic.

As for sharing playthru stuff, I'll likley migrate that to @colacanvas.bsky.social and tag accordingly

After this and a few more days of work though it's PKMN LEGENDS TIME!!!

I've kept a pulse on the leaks but I won't share anything here, it's just useful to know what mons to expect and aim for. But knowing what I know, trying to get a female starter on the first night is going to be hell o)------<

Two headshots of Roy Mustang as a black dragon with a bright orange underbelly and angular scales. If you think this design does not read as “Roy Mustang” that is a fair and valid assessment but also I do what I want

With the holidays upon us, don't give to Salvation Army. Not even change. It's a scumbag "charity" run by anti-gay zealots.

Habitat for Humanity is great. Your local Food Bank is great.

So many "charities" are for-profit scams. Use Charity Navigator to vet them. www.charitynavigator.org

Fascist Dem Tracker @fascistdemtracker.bsky.social · 2d

Fun fact about the Salvation Army: they use a form of substance use treatment called work therapy. Oh, and by treatment, I mean they have people who have been convicted of drug charges work for their stores & warehouses in exchange for room, board, around a $1 a week, and minimal actual therapy.

[ #OCsky #OCPrompts ] Here's a sample of a few notable siblings I've drawn together, kinda--

▪ Shuili and Huojin (half-siblings, sister and brother)
▪ Rachel and Chester (sister and brother)
▪ Kharune and Khimore (twins, brother and sister)
▪ Sekhmet, Mafdet, Hathor, Serqet, and Bastet (5 sisters)

Monochrome of early artwork of Genshin OCs and half-siblings Shuili and Huojin, adepti in training (they share the same adeptus mother).

Shuili is a half illuminated beast with the traits of a fox spirit, while Huojin is a full illuminated beast with fox-spirit and huodou traits.

Pencil art of Chester/"Chet" and Rachel/"Chel" in their lemur forms. Chet is taller/larger than Chel even when both sitting, but Rachel is still his older sister.

Chet, snuggling & nuzzling the top of Chel's head: "Big sis Racha~"

Chel, "enduring" the affection with a pout: "Chester plz--"

Very old artwork of a younger Kharune and Khimore, fraternal twin hellhounds / demons with yellow eyes and shadowy dark magic.

Artwork of the Egyptian goddesses and five Daughters of Ra framing each other, as they appear in DEITIES Project. In a rough order of position:

Top left -- Sekhmet
Top right -- Mafdet
Center -- Hathor
Bottom left -- Bastet
Bottom right -- Serqet

On this episode of me blogging, I figure out why only 1% of your audience sees/engages with your posts, why you shouldn't care, and what you should do instead/alongside microblogging to fix it.

On Audience: Posts are Like Farts in the Wind

I have more but realized only a few of them I've actually drawn together (even the adepti sibs were from a summary, but drawn separately).

There are also some OCs who have those they consider "like siblings" that belong to friends, maybe I'll expand on another time. Otherwise most are only children

To prevent further misunderstandings...

I'm saying: Use alt text when you can, don't bully or ostracize those who can't, and pressure coorperations and websites to look into better ways to make providing alt text more accessible for everyone.

What I'm NOT saying: alt text bad dont use poopy tool

𝓢𝓮𝓷𝓪 𝓗𝔂𝓮𝓵𝓮𝓽𝓱🌙🌿| Vgen @hyeleth.bsky.social · 4d

It's important to continue talking about this because there are many people on Bsky, who will refuse to engage with art that has no ALT text.
Meaning disabled artists who, for one reason or another, couldn't include it will get less chances to make money to afford a meal. Does this sound accessible?

𝓢𝓮𝓷𝓪 𝓗𝔂𝓮𝓵𝓮𝓽𝓱🌙🌿| Vgen @hyeleth.bsky.social · 4d

*sighs*
Got blocked cause I tried to educate someone about the ableist nature of their POV, cause I thought they cared about disabled people. My bad, I guess.

Friendly reminder that there are other disabilities and villainizing people for not using ALT text isn't going to help anyone.
