Realized I slid onto Bluesky without any proper intro posts 😅 Hello, I’m Nika, and I like to work across illustration, comics, and writing. Drawing fantasy dames and making my OCs pine for each other is my whole jam ✌🏼

This thread is so cool!! Can't wait to see how the latest design comes out ✨

I knew I wanted to make something that slotted over the backs of the shelves, and it had to be universal enough considering there were slight differences between the shelf types she uses.

I started mocking up a design in Blender with the intention to print it out in resin.

[2/X]
A screen shot from Blender of a 3D model of the sign holder. The holder is more tall than wide with a slot for attaching to the back of a small shelf and a secondary slot for holding a tongue depressor stick. There is a representation of the sign and stick in the holder to show use case. There is text on the holder too. On the top it reads "@mustachebabs" and on the front it says "Oops! Looks like we need another book!"

DO NOT participate in #blueskyblackout2025

I'm nsfw artist and other nsfw artists are asking you to SHOUT! Bsky wants to censor us so the worst thing we can do is censor ourselves!

Publicly shame them, use the feedback button, and post about it using the tag #bskycensorship

Silence is compliance!

Lord alive, they want fictional characters in fictional sexual situations to model consent for literal adults like a patronizing early 2020’s sitcom where the point of the writing is to convey that the writer’s been to therapy at some point

All the swishing fabrics and fabulous props would make great short vids! But in a minimal effort pinch you could maybe even just repurpose the timed poses from the site 🤔

I think Bsky will continue to truck along (for now), but I wonder if Instagram or TikTok would be good channels for you
