Side view of my monsteroid form. A dragon/drake-like creature; pitch black body, eyeless white skull, thin red stripes akin to a garter snake.

I've been on #Pillowfort much longer & it's still going strong.

Has better features & entirely community-driven. Values lie in curating your own online experience & the humanity behind art. Minimal censorship, no generated slop / #noAI, no text limits.

Imagine tumblr before tumblr went to shit.

Mm... I really need to learn how to make my own site. Bsky's moves towards censorship is both expected and horribly disappointing. Censorship makes things worse for everyone, not better.

Anyway, reminder I'm just as active on www.pillowfort.social/kqltlc as I am here. Got invites if needed.

I feel like music would be a really good "active" way to rave about the things I love and vent about the things bothering me.

Other art forms like drawing is nice, but they're not as "active" as music would be, yknow?

kalt @kqltlc.bsky.social · Sep 19

Outside of the digital aspect of music, I'd also lovvvee to try learning some instruments. Electric guitar, drums, electronic keyboard... does the voicebox count as an instrument? cuz singing would be fire as fuck too.

idk, I just wanna get into MUSIC so fuckin bad.

(( Context: been on a music kick lately. ))

ngl, I'm half tempted to reach out to my fav music artists and ask them what programs/daws and instruments they use.

I *really* wanna get into music. The most experience I have with it is Garage Band back in high school and that was FUN.

[SEPT25] Mockup CD Cover
After all the concerts and developing a better appreciation for the artists behind the music I listen to, kinda got inspired. Lol.

#art // myself, @kqltlc

#digitalart #krita #monster #cdcover #oc #originalcharacter

A mockup cd cover.

My monsteroid form. A drake-like creature with an eyeless skull head; a red gem in the middle of the head. Black line markings start from the nose and runs down the body, switching to red when the lines leave the skull and enter the blackened body. Like a garter snake. Also got fins.

Background is a red cloudy sky with eyes, dead trees, and birds flying. Top right corner is a triangle symbol cut in half.

Black borders the left and bottom with "TRACKS FROM THE SHADOWS" written on them. That triangle from before appears at the end on the left side.

Blues and purples with secondary, muted yellows and greens. White accent.

Masked guy in hoodie, headphones, and shades looking in a mirror, fingerless-gloved hand raised and resting on the cracked surface. Mirror border is textured akin to a tree, eyes hidden within the design. almost glimmery.

He is not asking.

Criticality stands ominously over Adra, backlit with red and holding out a plastic bag with various takeout containers inside. In a dark glitching speech bubble, he says, "EAT." We see Adra's back in the foreground as they sweat nervously.

A jack-o-lantern, four-legged monster creature.

Head is a jack-o-lantern skull with two leaves poking out as the ears and a snipped brown branch where the vine was cut; eyes and nose holes glow a bright yellow white. His neck is a dark brown branch wrapped in bright green vines.

Torso is a jack-o-lantern with holes for the neck, front legs, and stomach, leading to the jack-o-lantern pelvis with holes for the stomach, back legs, and tail flame. Spine and legs are dark brown branches wrapped in bright green vines. Tail flame is your typical flame color, shifted to match the yellow white eyes and nose holes.

Sitting in a barren dead land. Branches litter the ground with dark dead trees in the distance. The sky is dark but glitters with starlight.

Dark muted blue and brighter muted orange image of two bats, a fruit bat and vampire bat, flying through the air on a cloudy autumn night. Behind them is leafless tree. The night sky is starry with a moon peaking through the clouds.

Singing and drawing and crafting isn’t supposed to be something only a few people specialize in. That’s supposed to be the joy of living that all humans participate in and are brought together in and it’s fucked that it’s become just a career

一昨日の事ですが、朝霧高原のソフトを食べに行って

バイク見たら乗りたくなったので少しばかし乗りました。

ちなみに朝霧高原のソフトは味が濃くてとても美味しいので食べてみて！(個人的にはtop5に入るぐらい好き)

夏はフロマージュみたいな感じで、冬は生クリームみたいな感じで季節やその年の気候でも全然違うのでよかったら食べに行ってみて！

A very small, almost chibi-like motorcycle. Headlight is a bright light green and turquoise, body is mainly purple with dark grey metal. The dash, mirrors, handles, seat, and wheels are black.

It's paused on a road in front of some stores. Light shining from the top right, making the bottom left a lot darker. The bike is looking over a little past the viewer with its big ol (eye) headlight.

Trying to get into the habit of sharing more positive news stories to restore some hope while we fight battle after battle, so I'm gonna make a thread. I'll just add to it as I find them, feel free to also

I'll start with this one, arguably the most important

Some science seems silly, but it’s still worthwhile

The Salmon Cannon and the Levitating Frog contends that curiosity-driven research helps us understand the world and could lead to unexpected benefits.

[JUL25] Speedy Delivery!
I really wanted to get an attack in this year and saw this awesome mail carrier! Postelle was super fun to draw~

#digitalart #krita #artfight2025 #objecthead

Postelle, an objecthead postwomen! She has an envelope with papers in it for a head and dressed in the usual blues you see mail carriers wear! She has a bag full of mail to deliver, as well as a silver water bottle to stay hydrated.

She's running along, mid jog to the next address!

The background is a cream colored wall with some grass and vines growing between the cracks. The ground is your usual paved sidewalk. Behind the wall are the tops of trees and a blue, cloudy sky.

The background is small as she pops out of it. It's also bordered with a dark, muted blue-purple, with the border of that being a muted dark lavender with clouds and little envelope symbols!

[JUL25] SUMMER HAZE: Amberbone Wyren
This took so long but man was it oh-so worth it.

#digitalart #krita #artfight2025 #dragon

My friends dragon sona, Wyren, themed for Team Fossils as Amberbone Wyren.

His left side is fluffy and white with pink tiger markings and claws. He has two feathered pink wings on this side, top larger than bottom.

His right side is fossilized tree sap (amber) in the shape of his bones. Skull, horns, arm, ribs, spine, and leg are all amber. He has two boney wings on this side, top larger than the bottom.

His "skin" covering his torso and stomach is a translucent yellow that fades to pink, decorated with brighter yellow scale markings that glimmer. The translucent skin transitions to translucent pink to yellow fur that travels down his amber bone tail. The tip of the tail has three large claws jutting out of it.

The background is bright and hazy with the canyon sun, perhaps mid summer. Skies blue and cloudy barely visible over the haze. One can see the canyon cliffs and the rocky ground though. There's a bit of a lens flare going on.

Amberbone Wyren is posed like he just flew in and landed, looking up towards the left corner as though he spotted something in his path.

[JUL25] Kabedon Motorcycle

That #kabedon meme but if a #motorcycle did #4 and #3 respectfully.

#art // myself, @kqltlc
don't use in anyway whatsoever, thnx.
#digitalart #mspaint #doodle #shitpost

Kabedon (wall pin) meme.

Silhouette person is in the corner, blue lines indicating their dumbfounded / awkwardness as a square speech bubble from them says, "Uh..."

In front of them, a motorcycle with saddle bags and a glowing yellow headlight. The motorcycle is horizontal to the person, a wheel touching each wall as all that keeps it propped up is the long shiny kickstand. There's sparkles around the motorcycle's headlight (eye) and kickstand (leg) emphasizing it's enthusiasm as it happily kabedons the person.

Kabedon (wall pin) meme.

The same motorcycle from before - the one with the yellow headlight and saddle bags - doing the kabedon meme but it's flipped around to embed its handle bars into the wall on either side of the person. It's kickstand - normal size now - still kicked out and raised. Sparkles still present to show its enthusiasm!

The silhouette person from before, but scrunched up with hands raised to push back against the motorcycle as they're nearly being crushed by it. Red angry vein lines appear on the persons head and exclamation speech bubbles as they shout, "DUDE!! YOU'RE GONNA CRUSH ME!!"

Shapeshifters are the best, I got plenty of experimenting in on this one ^^
Really happy with the background/layout, too, never done one like this before~

"Luna"
Lunacorn (left): Luna as a unicorn! Elegant black equine with pale lavender mane, tail, hooves, feathers, eyes, collar with a moon pendant, and detailing/outlining.
Buna (top right): Luna as a bunny! Black bun-loaf with pale lavender eyes, nose, collar with moon pendant, and detailing/outlining. Extra-fluffy ears, so the tops appear floppy and ragged (but it's just floof).
Liqua (bottom right): Luna as a cat in a pitcher! "is cat is liquid" written next to it. Mysterious black "liquid" in a clear blue-tinted pitcher, with ears poking out and tail hanging out the top; pale lavender eyes and cat-nose are visible in the pitcher; collar with moon pendant is on the end of the tail.
