RaposaBranca has ✨COMMISSIONS OPEN! 📌✨ @raposabranca.bsky.social · 1h

Hi #PortfolioDay! I'm Branca and I like to play around with colors and lights, digitally and traditionally!

I've done a bit of everything, especially games. I'm open for contract work, full-time work, and commissions! (🌟https://raposabranca.crd.co/🌟)

raposabranca.com

Digital illustration of Inquisitir Lavellan (f) and Solas in a lush forest. Lavellan, a black woman with short hair, crouched with her arms crossed and a frown while holding her staff. Solas is holding a glowing blue mushroom gingerly with a hand and supporting his staff with the other arm, also crouched and speaking back to Lavellan. They're perched on the thick roots of a huge mossy tree, light seeping through the forest canopy with dust shimmer around them.

Digital illustration in a painting style of a steaming bowl of what is probably a minestrone, decorated with crow feathers and some unidentified cottony material, pieces of both scattered on the wooden surface below. It might look appealing if you ignore it, as it has pieces of identifiable vegetables inside, but as the steam has a light ochre hue you're not that sure.

Bright violet neon text on the upper left say "Lucanis Lunchboxes #9", while lilac neon text on the bottom says, "SPITE'S INEDIBLE MINESTRONE" with terrible orthography. On the upper right it read : Based on the fic by Ellie Tsang Kirkner"

Colored digital sketch of a chubby qunari (Jael) femme sitting on a cream colored chair nursing a 1yo ish baby. Jael has propped the baby in a way that they can be more confortable, and is holding him with their left arm while propping their head with their hand against their cheek. They're wearing short shorts and an open loose button up. The baby is grabbing their breast towards himself, happily. Jael is looking down at him contented.

Illustration done with alcohol, water, and acrylic markers of a ragdoll cat on her two feet, wearing an apron, angrily ranting at something out of frame. She has one paw on her hip and the other stirring a campfire pot, that let's out a lot of steam. Her graying hair is tied in an bun and her apron has a bottle, pomegranates, and eggs stuffing its pockets. Her tail, curled up beside her, is fluffy and has belts with several herbs and flowers tied to them.

LinkedIn post about how a guy got a job interview at Strava by running a route that spelled HIRE ME on the map

HIRE ME written on the map (looking more like HIRE NE tbh)

commenter asks if the guy got the job and OP says “I don't think so. But his effort got him noticed and a foot in the door when so many others didn't”

I'm dying realizing something about the Frog Uprising in PDX:

In my language, a colloquial way to say "figure it out" is something like "leap around".

My city has an extended version, poetically fitting:

🐸 "put on your frog suit and leap around" 🐸

Portlanders: aye aye

(In my country, today is important: day of our patron saint, and Childrens' day. Sure, friends aren't Brazilian, but it matters to me and I hope I can meet the little bean soon 💜)

My friends' baby was just born. Big, looks like daddy, mommy is well and even rested.

Shut up, world. Someone just arrived to be loved by you. 💜

The best video game accessibility feedback comes from people who use different accessibility features daily. Include them in your testing. Design with, not just for, players.

One day I'll dsign and own a dragon age nug wearable blanket hoodie. It's my princess dream.

Mar, werewolf ABD @marscardua.bsky.social · 2d

It's cold out, and I'm going out, so you know what that means:

SNORLAX WEARABLE BLANKET HOODIE

If I had more game, I think I'd have gone on dates with half the queers in NC just from how people fawn over that Snorlax hoodie and come to talk to me about it.

It's that autistic je ne sais quoi 🤌

Well! There we are! Me and Val! The handsomest men to ever grace the Indie game scene!

It's an absolute honor to say Parfum Nostalgique has been featured on @polygon.com . I'm gonna go scream now.

As Steam cracks down on adult games, one dev urges taking back control

Game developers fear for the future of games with LGBTQ themes, which is leading some to pursue alternate (and way cooler) forms of distribution

I know I'll be tired of seeing snow and yearning for Summer again very soon. But so far, snow has been the most incredible thing I've seen: so mundane and annoying and fantastical and wonderful.

I'll be sad if I ever stop being giddy at snowfall.

Mar, werewolf ABD @marscardua.bsky.social · 2d

The first time I saw snow at all I was 22 and change. It was out of a moving train.

The first time I got to actually walk around in the snow to make a snowman etc I was 32. And it was just one night of snow here, another there.

Excuse me this is all freakish to me. The world is magic.

Mar, werewolf ABD @marscardua.bsky.social · 2d

Hey :) Edmonton? :) Edmonton are you okay? :) Edmonton are okay Edmonton is this normal for you before mid-October? :)))

What the priest did was to carry an artifact that is, in Cath tradition, the ACTUAL PRESENCE OF JESUS THAT CONSACRATES A TEMPLE, to the detainment center.

Guys, what happened is that ICE turned *actual Jesus* away from its doors, from the Catholic perspective.

fr. Larry you're a genius.

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

Last repost: OP (smartly) doesnt have qrps and replies turned on for everybody, but please read the thread. This is one of the most HARDCORE acts of resistance against ICE so far and we all know that title must not be given lightly.
