I was chatting with @dxkramer1981.bsky.social while playing Pokemon Legends ZA, and they stumbled across two big spiders on a wall in Wild Zone 4.

Naturally, I got inspired to make the wall more menacing. Now there are four of them all lookin' at'cha.

Four Alpha Spinarak on a wall in Wild Zone 4, menacingly staring at a Pokemon Trainer absolutely styled up to the tens who has just noticed them. The trainer is also DXKramer's and she is SO stylish you have NO idea.

Love the AI overview on Google. It's literally saying "Ah, you want to know where they are in Kirby Air RIDE, right? Kirby Air RIDE? For the GAMECUBE? Even though you searched Kirby Air RIDERS for the SWITCH 2? Here's shit you already know. You're welcome! :)" Like motherfucker THAT DOESNT HELP ME.

Exactly what it says on the tin; the AI overview is saying Kirby Air Riders has the same City Trial and Red Box Piece Spawn Locations as Kirby Air Ride because it's stupid. It also calls red boxes as Orange Boxes at the end of its sentence.

Why am I not surprised?

New update: My package now has no delivery date.

Literally not a joke either. AKI clocks in at over twice the size of one of my reference drawings, and about 1.5x the size of my Drawtober Drawings in height alone. Forget width - that's easily 3x the size of Drawtober's stuff.

AKI from the last Capcom Art Contest, with Astrid and her Scolipede as well as Goldie from Drawtober this year covered in radioactive bullshit for scale. She is HUGE.

Yes, they have their own layers, thank god. Here is *JUST AKI'S LAYERS*, for reference. Not here are two hidden layers for sketch I made of the base look of the pose/character, and the reference images I pinched for drawing them.

AKI's folder has a lot of layers. Not the fewest - that goes to Blanka - but hers are average for the group. Most are named simply, like BLK for all the black on her outfit, or wht eyelash for just her white eyelashes.

All the red little lines on it are "clip to lower layer", which means the colours are limited to the area that the lower layer has in it. For example, the two layers above lac, the lace on Aki's outfit, are for shading two sections of the lace. The one above claw shades her claws, and so on. I do shading and highlights on the same layer too.

I don't have the PSD files for each character I made anymore. I deleted them to save space since I usually don't save the PSD (or .CLIP for my clip studio paint-using ass) of separate drawings and have them flattened in their own little thing elsewhere. I just have the whole crew in one. :/

How the fuck did I never notice that Ed's Ass is visible through Blanka's chest because I missed a spot when colouring the flats for Blanka-Chan?

Anyway there's thirteen of these fuckers in this file.

Oh, looks like old works can be entered, including stuff that wasn't originally for the contest.

So I'm reuploading all my other entries from last contest... with a new tag... on Shitter... again.

I will update if it arrives by "end of day today". Yes, the Virtual Idiot got the statement right but before this it said "by 10PM", and for about 30 minutes, it just said "Thursday" with no date stated. I'll check at midnight, and if it says Friday, I will lose my goddamned mind.

Scheduled delivery date
Thursday
11/27/25 by end of day
No signature needed for delivery

I'm... You could not pay me to be any nicer about this shit. FedEx's virtual assistant is useless.

me: My package is coming from the FedEx facility in Alaska. It's not going to arrive by end of day today, since end of day passed at 10PM.
FE: Did you mean... My package status hasn't been updated recently or the scheduled delivery is "pending"?
me: That's not what I asked.
FE: Is there something regarding FedEx services that I can help you with?
me: Will my delivery date change when it isn't delivered today?
FE: Your shipment has departed a FedEx location and is moving as scheduled for delivery. Your package is expected to be delivered on November 27, 2025. A signature is not required for delivery. (etc.)

Also, I noted every bit of information on FedEx mentions "US", "Europe", "Latin America", and "Asia", in that order. No Canada. So I asked, and... Am I surprised? No.

me: Is this information accurate to Canada?
FE: Your shipment has departed a FedEx location and is moving as scheduled for delivery. Your package is expected to be delivered on November 27, 2025. A signature is not required for delivery. (etc.)

Note: It did not answer my question.

me: Will FedEx deliver my package after 12AM?
FE: Are you looking for... When will my package arrive?
me: When will my package arrive?
FE: Your package is expected to be delivered on November 27, 2025. A signature is not required for delivery. (etc.)

me: Does FedEx deliver after 10PM to residential addresses?
FE: I found the following answers that may be helpful: Can I ship to a PO box?
me: That's not what I asked.
FE: Is there something regarding FedEx services that I can help you with?
me: Does FedEx deliver after 10PM?
FE: (goes into all the shipping options it has, again, stock message).

me: My package has not arrived.
FE: Your package is expected to be delivered on November 27, 2025. A signature is not required for delivery. (etc.)
me: My package will not arrive by the delivery date stated. It's coming from 65 hours, by road, to my location.
FE: Your package is expected to be delivered on November 27, 2025. A signature is not required for delivery. (etc.)

Like I mean... You cannot make up the uselessness of this 'support' agent.

FedEx (FE): Your package is expected to be delivered on November 27, 2025. A signature is not required for delivery. (It goes on to give me options for status updates and if I need more help.)
me: The package I mentioned already says that it is supposed to arrive today by end of day. It has not arrived yet.
FE: Did you mean... What are FedEx Delivery Hours? / My package was not delivered.

me: My package was not delivered.
FE: Your package is expected to be delivered on November 27, 2025. A signature is not required for delivery. (etc.)
me: This isn't helpful. My package says it's supposed to be delivered today and has not been delivered.
FE: Your package is expected to be delivered on November 27, 2025. A signature is not required for delivery. (etc.)

me (in exasperation while typing it): Do you have any other automated responses for a package not arriving when it's supposed to be delivered?
FE: Your package is still on its way. A signature is not required for delivery. Please note that packages recieve periodic scans and tracking updates as they move through our system. It is possible for a shipment not to have scans for a couple of days if it is being process at a facility or in transit, especially during period of long travel to reach its destination. (etc.)

me: This isn't helpful. My package is supposed to arrive by end of day and it hasn't arrived yet.
FE: Your package is expected to be delivered on November 27, 2025. A signature is not required for delivery. (etc.)
me: Can I get a virtual support person? These automated messages are not helpful.
FE: It looks like you're entering a very long sentence. I might be able to understand if you rephrase your question in a simpler way.
me: Can I get a virtual support person?
FE: A live chat agent is not available at this time. (etc, call FedEx. From my experience, it's not that helpful to call them and they give you the same run-around.)

No one actually ended up noting I was there but hey, to any who did check it out, thanks for coming!

I think I was cooking with this Christmas Look. It's over the top, it's festive, it's green, and the pants I was wearing underneath made me too warm! Lol.

Me in a great green blazer with white Christmas Dress next to Santa. Yes, my side bag has my phone in it because I need pockets and lifting a full length skirt up to access the pants pockets isn't exactly a great thing to do often.
