Hello, #PortfolioDay!

I draw mostly #danmei stuff (and some #genshin)
I love sketching with pencils mostly and working with ink. Colours are my enemy >:3

I'm pretty friendly, too :) Usually up for a chat if you're looking to make an art friend on here :D

Commissions are somewhat open. DM to chat!

pencil drawing of three men, all dressed in hanfu. the one in the middle has fluffy hair and a demon mark at the middle of his forehead, and he is putting his hand on the shoulder of another smiling youth. this one has long, sleek hair, worn loose and an eyepatch across his right eye. he wears intricate necklace and belt, and a vambrace with butterfly pattern on it.

the last one has a serious expression. he wears his hair partially up in a bun on top of his head and there is a head ribbon with cloud motif across his forehead. he places a hand on the shoulder of the one in the middle quietly.

ink drawing of two men, one in front of the other. the one at the front seems to be struggling with a curse that makes his pupils double. the one at the back is embracing him with great calmness and trust.

portrait of a man with long, flowing black hair. he wears a monocle over his right eye. there are two red moles on his face, one is near his eye and the other on his earlobe.

drawing of a youth, holding out a lantern to release at night. he has short hair, part in the middle and there is a small diamond shaped mark at the middle of his forehead. the lantern has a deer motif drawn in teal, over orange.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:
www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

Italy was on strike in solidarity with Palestinians last Monday.
Hundreds of thousands demonstrated blocking roads, ports & railway stations. In Rome, many drivers found themselves stuck in traffic — & were happy about it, saluting demonstrators & condemning Israel’s genocide against Palestinians.

A 12-foot statue of Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein frolicking and holding hands appeared on the National Mall in Washington, DC on Tuesday, September 23.

A plaque under the statue states that it has been erected “In Honor of Friendship Month."

The new ICE song by Jesse Welles nails it.

ICE isn’t recruiting heroes, it’s recruiting the bitter, the rejected, the ones desperate for a badge to cover their failures.

Losers with power become the most dangerous kind.

Oh we were on that bullshit well into the 1800s. See St Paul’s of Liège (Belgium), which first commissioned Joseph Geefs to sculpt Lucifer

When Joe delivered it in 1842 (real fuckin sexy, etc) the Bishop was like “oh no!” so re-commissioned his brother Guillaume, who… made it sexier

Two sexy Lucifer sculptures, the left-hand Twink Satan by Joseph Geefs from 1842, the right-hand Twunk Satan replacement by his brother Guillaume Geefs, 1848

The commission was originally awarded to Geefs' younger brother Joseph, who completed L'ange du mal in 1842 and installed it the following year. It generated controversy at once and was criticized for not representing a Christian ideal.

The cathedral administration declared that "this devil is too sublime." The local press intimated that the work was distracting the "pretty penitent girls" who should have been listening to the sermons.

Bishop van Bommel soon ordered the removal of L'ange du mal, and the building committee passed the commission for the pulpit sculpture to Guillaume Geefs, whose version was installed at the cathedral permanently in 1848.

Charles II: Did you finish that statue of the Archangel Michael defeating the devil?

Luisa Roldán: Si y yo hice la Diablo real fucking sexy, just like you asked

This appears to be an elaborate Baroque-style sculptural representation of an archangel, likely Saint Michael, defeating a demonic figure. The sculpture is mounted on an ornate gilded base and is displayed in a museum setting with white walls and other historical paintings visible in the background.

The archangel is depicted with dramatic movement - wearing blue and red clothing with a winged form, wielding a sword, and standing triumphantly over a defeated demonic or serpentine figure. The sculpture shows incredible detail in the flowing drapery, musculature, and dynamic pose, characteristic of Baroque artistic style which emphasized dramatic movement and emotional intensity.

The sculpture is placed on a white museum pedestal, with track lighting illuminating it from above, and other similarly styled paintings can be seen in the background, suggesting this is part of a larger exhibition of historical religious art.

Just a heads up to anyone using Firefox:

Text reads: Mozilla, in its finite wisdom, embedded LLM bots into recent versions of Firefox for the vitally-important purpose of... naming tab groups. Now, some users are noticing CPU and power usage spikes caused by a background process called Inference.

Ugh. Reminder again for Firefox users to visit your about:config page, search for the browser.ml.chat.enabled key, and set that to false:

Displayed is a screenshot of Firefox showing the config search bar with the listed search. The word "false" is circled in red.

Text continues: If yours says true then double-click it until it reads false.
Doing that turns off the Al chatbot features in Firefox, but also the stupid new LLM tab-naming feature that's rolling out.

If you use Firefox:

Go into Settings, in the search bar type "Sidebar" and select "Show Sidebar." At the bottom of the sidebar, click "Customize Sidebar" (the little gear icon) and un-check the "AI Chatbot" box.

thankfully most of the ml stuff can be disabled through about:config

Some users report Firefox scoffing CPU power
