Serious question, how do we know when it’s #portfolioday other than everyone posting about Portfolio Day? Is it, like, the second Tuesday in every even-numbered month? Does it have to do with the phases of the moon?

Husband heard some shuffling, scratching sounds in the night and went to investigate.

It was Zeus tucking himself into Gaia’s bed. With his stuffed ducky as a pillow.

A tricolor rat terrier looking cozy in a dog bed meant for a much larger dog. He is covered from tail to shoulders by a gray fleece blanket. One forepaw is delicately curled. His head rests on a much-loved duck toy, and he looks up at the camera as if to say, “You wouldn’t disturb someone this comfy and cute, would you?”

Veridius is missing another update because the technical issues at #patreon are still ongoing. This has been extremely frustrating cause its basically crippled how I post this stuff.

If anyone has any ideas on other ways to get a serial out with self-publishing by all means give me recommendations.

Before I saw that @paratonia.bsky.social had reposted this, I thought, “This has Paratonia vibes”

Such good use of a few lines.

Moths are so chill. Plus, they’re often chubby and fuzzy. I’m Team Moth

So this isn’t actually an OC, he’s just lived in my head so long he feels like one.

This is Shu. Urban ninja, bounty hunter, and certified Dad Friend. He’s a character from a 30-year-old video game, Arc the Lad II.

Gotta draw his boyfriend next, the scrungly redheaded samurai, Tosh.

The cool thing about ancient games with inch-high sprites, no cut scenes, and no fan art is that you’re free to reimagine the characters. So I updated his look a little while trying to keep the ninja vibes.

The shotgun is canon, though. Because for some reason a ninja needs a shotgun.

I want to connect with a fandom but I am apparently incapable of being obsessed with any media at the same time as anyone else. It’s always something weird and obscure and usually at least a decade old.

Anyway, back to working on some Arc the Lad II fan art

This is. And thou art. There is no safety. There is no end. The word must be heard in silence. There must be darkness to see the stars. The dance is always danced above the hollow place, above the terrible abyss.

Eeeeeee I love how he’s coming along! Gotta put this aside for a bit before starting to render, though, so hopefully I’ll catch any errors early.

A flat colored drawing of a slim man with a long, bluish gray ponytail. He wears a black face mask, black cuffed coveralls, black tabi boots, black gloves, and a red bandana. He carries a shotgun over one shoulder.

Gonna let this #WIP marinate overnight before I charge into colors. But I’m SO EXCITED. I’ve been trying to draw this #character for literally years and I’ve finally found a direction I’m happy with.

A nice, peaceful afternoon sketching… oh. Hi, Quark.

A person looking out a window with an orange tabby cat perched on their shoulder.

The orange cat is perching on the person’s lap, partially obscuring their iPad. Procreate is open and they were working on a sketch of a man.
