This is an animated drawing that I made for myself! I was interested in experimenting with this scene idea for a while.

I aimed for a simple animation & background. Focusing on a few pieces and 8 animation frames made assembly easy.

in order: purchasing on bandcamp, streaming or purchasing from qobuz, streaming from most other platforms (apple music, tidal, deezer, etc.), or pirating (if financially unable to afford other options) are all valid alternatives to supporting the spotify corporation.

"What were your inspirations for creating Giant Snake Girl?" -> The main inspiration was Giga Mermaid, specifically the picture I drew of Shantae delivering a burger to her. Her personality was inspired by Yuyuko too. woahmaaan.straw.page

We tried doodling some chibis after all! There's some pose experimenting in progress here...

We managed to clear a 1CC Cirno run as well! (And maybe got carried away trying something else. ^.^; ) This is very fun all around and I'm excited to try the harder difficulties!
A chibi sketch of Daiyousei, in a very regular, front-facing A-pose. Auburn wasn't sure how to pose the fairy, so she simply sketched out this and another pose to figure out what kind of expression would fit her well. Along the side are some notes on how Daiyousei might be depicted well. She seems to have a gentle princess-like feel to her, so perhaps some kind of gentle smile...? Preferably in a more dynamic pose. © Auburn Arcana ✦ December 2025 A chibi sketch of Daiyousei, in some kind of dynamic pose attempt.

I'm thankful for good food, hot showers, music/art/entertainment made by humans, good friends, and my own willpower to keep pushing when things are tough!

I'm also thankful that we're all still kicking even when the going has gotten tough. Stick together, y'all, we got this!

Twitch sent out the year's #twitchrecap!

I migrated to Linux Mint in April. Combined with other upgrades & experiences between art and games, I'm proud of the year's accomplishments.

I've also been able to keep going thanks to support from everybody. It means a lot to me, so thank you all greatly!
Auburn's Twitch Recap 2025 (Streamer side) I feel proud of my art accomplishments this year! Migrating to Linux Mint was a major change for me (and a major undertaking) - and it made things a lot better in the long run. Stream upgrades, new emotes, and generally drawing more often (and more freely) are a few of my achieved goals. I'm still not a fan of the new art category thumbnail, so I replaced it with the old one on the graphic. :3 I've been getting a lot into Touhou Fan Game Jam this year! It's hosted twice per year (with extra side ones such as Pride Jam). Naturally, Necrodancer is also a lot of fun to play regularly. Bat to the Heavens is easily a new favorite game! I played through it at the start of the year, then got back to finish it during autumn. Although I consider myself a variety streamer, I do tend to enjoy my deep dives into what I play - so I end up focusing on a few rather than a lot of games throughout the year. As always, I'm hoping to get to lots more next year! I meant to finish Stardew Valley as well... I might try to put that back in the weekly schedule. (I still need to find a Special K fix or alternative, though, or I won't be able to finish Rift of the Necrodancer. @.@) Most importantly, I always appreciate everybody who's willing to spend time with me - whether it's chatters, lurkers, subs, non-subs, and everybody in between. Thank you all so much!

This one's a relatively light week! Art will be more open-ended, but I'm considering more Touhou drawings while I decide on the month's projects.

Aside from Touhou, Mooncat is very fun so far! I'm excited to finish from last time. *u*

AI is NOT inevitable. Keep not using it. Uninstall Copilot from your computer. Refuse to use programs bogged down with it. Complain loudly about it when they shove it into the programs you use. We can starve the slop machines.

"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."
Analysis: OpenAI is a loss-making machine, how can it survive?
Don't call it a bubble! Loss-making monster OpenAI is on the hook for $1.4 trillion (with a T) in compute commitments. How can this go on?

I made this chibi for November's #VGenChallenge! The theme this month was "Wishes", so I decided to try a Pray/Bless expression.

Even though I mainly make these for emotes, it has gotten quite fun to draw fullbodies!

#AuburnArcanart
✦ Total time: ~12 hours (including idea drafting)
A fullbody chibi drawing of Auburn doing a Pray/Bless expression. Her hands are together and her eyes are closed as if meditating. The proportions are relatively small (measuring a total height of 2.5 heads). Auburn has her usual Wandering Witch outfit, complete with a red witch hat, red glasses, turquoise brooch (with a white fabric bit), and a belt with pouches (though her long red hair is covering one of the two). Her dress is primarily red, with white sleeves and red-pink cuffs, a green hem stripe, and white frills. Her red boots have white stripes, and each have a turquoise gem at the top. ✦ Total time: ~12 hours (including idea drafting) © Auburn Arcana ✦ November 2025 An emote of Auburn doing a Pray/Bless expression.

I made a Thanksgiving list to write down things that I'm grateful for! There are a lot of things that mean a lot to me here.

Thank you all for the support as always! I don't consider myself very vocal about it, but I really appreciate everybody who invests their valuable time with me in any way. <3
A list of things that I'm grateful for after recounting my experiences from this year and before. To the left is me in my ruby armor outfit (resembling a geode-themed knight). To the right is Alter* the shadow youkai as a "werefox", in a light green dress and a crescent moon necklace. The list proper has the following entries, with extra details in this alt text! Left side: ◆ Supportive friends & family (including big brother Purple and Auburn's mother) ◆ Streaming, VTubing (helped open up and make friends!) ◆ Clip Studio Paint (one-time purchase, highly reliable ever since) ◆ Digital drawing tablet (Gaomon PD1560 tablet, still very good!) ◆ Learning Japanese with Sensei and friends ◆ Ringotan, Anki, Renshuu (for Japanese study) - (I formerly used Duolingo, but since discovered lots of problems with it. I detached this summer by finding better tools, thanks in large part to Bluesky user "Japanese Talk" sharing resources.) ◆ Linux (including Mint and CachyOS) *u* - (I use L.Mint, but have friends who use this and other distros! For example, Pahi uses CachyOS.) ◆ DuckMail (email proxies = junk mail protection) ◆ Bandcamp + DLSite (DRM-free media! Buying = owning, which supports creators really well.) ◆ Pie, cheesecake, fruit - (I had pecan and pumpkin pies on Thursday! The pecan pie was surprisingly sweet-syrupey, which I like.) ◆ Learning, adaptability ◆ Anime & manga Right side: ◆ Vinesauce and adjacent communities - (Includes Aki's, Loogi's, and RevScarecrow's!) ◆ VNL, BAPY, and adjacent communities - (Includes PokeyPokums's, Pahi's, Yokura's, and Belindraw's!) ◆ University professors (including Sensei) ◆ Synchrony (Crypt of the Necrodancer fan project that became official! I'm proud of the devs and my friend Maru for this achievement!) ◆ Technomancy study (Necrodancer, Retro Gadgets, Neocities) ◆ Ko-Fi ◆ Indie games (Cave Story, Necrodancer, Celeste, Terraria...) ◆ Touhou! (Many cool, creative fan projects!) ◆ Autumn & spring © Auburn Arcana ✦ November 2025

The chibi is pretty much done at this point! I want to check over it during art tomorrow as it's already rather late.

For now, enjoy hatless Auburn and this sketch page piece that we played with! Me with Miku hair was the start - then one thing led to another. :3
A chibi drawing of Auburn doing a Pray/Bless expression. She's wearing her usual "Wandering Witch" outfit. I'll be checking this during my next session before I post the finished one around - so this is merely a teaser of sorts for now. :3 © Auburn Arcana ✦ November 2025 A piece from one of Auburn's sketch pages. It's a recolor of her "Twilight Gown" outfit that she's working on. Some joking around in Auburn's chat about Auburn with Miku hair led to her trying pink hair on this outfit. It looked like a pink-haired Miku, so Auburn then tried tinkering with the outfit itself and happened across this cute light green color scheme. Combined with the brown tights & nylon pieces, the color scheme ends up looking rather like taffy...! This could make for a fun separate outfit concept. I really like my red hair - but I also wouldn't mind pink hair or even highlights myself. I'd wear this, too. :3
