Mind the evil lizard, please

#art #Pokemon

cell-shaded drawing of a Shadow Lugia doing a sassy lil turn to glare, open-mouthed at the viewer. If this thing didn't already have my signature on it it would go on the side account SO FAST because that feels right. But I lost the file. So. Whatever.

Copy!

#art #Honsies #MMZ

Sketchy doodle of Copy X of MMZ fame as a lil anthropomorphic horse. He's mostly black with some blue and white accenting. Also lil gold hooves because I love 'em

Roy Sala-Mustang

#art #dragons #FullmetalAlchemist

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

Roy Nya-stang

#art #FullmetalAlchemist

Rough art of Roy Mustang as a melanistic jaguar chimera with a stern expression (he’s probably glaring at his paperwork. Or Ed. Either is equally likely)

Crimson

#art #dragons

Rough sketch of a sleek looking fellow with broad white scales, a thick black mane, and a mischievous glint in his single blue eye twinkling cheekily at the viewer. At you.

You know... As much as the looming dread of the corporatization of everything nearly crushed me like a wayward potato chip on the sidewalk, weretober really has been doing a lot to cheer me up

Unrelated but I’m also working on some lines for a friend

Don’t tell him

#WIPs

Line art of a gnarly dragon face covered in angular, thorny scales. I’m trying to give him a sense of weight and value with the intensity and thickness of the strokes but I don’t know how well that’s working!

Absolutely true.

Gender is irrelevant when one is first and foremost an alchemist @dertherck.bsky.social · 10d

Fair. Very fair. Good insight.

Gender is irrelevant when one is first and foremost an alchemist @dertherck.bsky.social · 10d

You know what? That's a very valid point.

I think the “physical” part of that statement is perhaps the thing that makes it work

Just... Keep this in mind as best you can going forward because it's the reality.

Your labor fuels their profit, and they will absolutely trim off the laborers that they think aren't serving their bottom line.

Cuz It's Just Business, Baby.

All of them will continue to be like this because this is what social media platforms are. None of the policies, none of the updates, NONE of it will ever be for us. It will be for the advertisers.

Their ACTUAL customers.
