proof for the proof gods. the breadcrumb should tell you enough about me tbh
A screenshot of a Notion database. The breadcrumb in the top left reads 'tracking > games tracker > Guild Wars 2'. Beneath that is the title 'Achievement tracker'. Beneath that is a portion of an extensive database listing numerous achievements, all with a great variety of data points by which to categorise. The image implies that the poster is a bit obsessive and / or autistic.

been watching a shocking amount of House MD lately, so here is a Greg
Digital art of Gregory House from the TV show House MD. House, a white man with bright blue eyes stares up at the viewer. He has short greying hair, beard, and moustache. He wears a grey suit jacket over a blue shirt. He holds a cane in his right hand. His expression is stern and intense. He stands against a plain green background.

from a product perspective, we were all opted in to beta test AI without being asked

if i should distrust and double-check the information an AI service gives me, the service is not market ready

when was the last time the WORLD was forcefully opted-in to test a broken product for a megacorporation

i'm still thinking about Interview With the Vampire but now i'm simply distraught about Claudia
Digital art of Claudia from the book 'Interview With the Vampire'. A young girl peers to her right, our left, to sniff a white flower. She has long blonde hair with a deep red hair band. She wears a regency-style dress, which is predominantly dark blue, but is decorated with deep red accents: a zig-zag pattern decorates an overskirt. White lace peeks from her sleeve. She has a demure expression.

lately i am feeling a bit exhausted and overwhelmed so i am trying to find time for relaxing hobbies like reading and drawing

i am currently reading 'Interview With the Vampire' and my artistic takeaways so far are mmmm sexy sexy vampire

happy halloween 🎃 🧛🏻‍♀️
Digital art. Two women stand against a light pink background in states of undress. The woman on the right stands tall and naked. She has long light-coloured hair, and stares at the viewer, head tilted, with a seductive expression. A line of blood runs from her pouted, fanged mouth, and drips down one breast. The woman on the left leans forward, a glazed expression on her face. She has a dark-coloured scruffy bob hairstyle, and wears an oversized t-shirt which has fallen to one side, revealing two bleeding vampire bites on her neck and her mid-chest. The naked woman's hand rests on her head possessively. The image is drawn with simple geometric black shapes and lines, and is shaded with a pale pink.

please feel sympathy for Coots, my cat, who desperately wants to sit next to me but has to deal with my panoply of conflicting scents

today i am an olfactory melange of mint deodorant, a fir needle-forward perfume, and the menthol / cinnamon punch of tiger balm for my chronic pain

she's not happy
A photo of a grey cat with black and white markings, pale green eyes, and a pink nose. Her face is quirked, with one eye slightly squinted, as if smelling something unpleasant.

i've drawn with the aim to improve since about 13, so, 2008... i love seeing where artists started, so here's images from around 2010-2012. all are hand-drawn, then scanned to colour digitally

like a lot of artists in my generation, i started with manga 😅
Digital art drawn by Emma from around 2010. A woman with pale lilac skin stares blankly at the viewer, her pink pierced tongue poking out from between green lips. She has multiple piercings and eccentric make-up. Her hair is a dark purple bob topped with 'cybergoth'-style blue, pink, and purple locs. She wears a spiked choker and a torn mesh shirt. Digital art drawn by Emma from around 2010. A young man stares at his twin in profile. He sits in a chair, head resting on his interlocked hands pensively. He is chained at the wrist to his monstrous twin, a demonic bird-like creature covered in feathers with clawed raptor feet and large bat-like wings. Under the first twin 'Alex, human form' is handwritten. Under the second is 'Alex, Mulk form'. There's no colour. Digital art drawn by Emma from around 2010. A Pokemon trainer-style white girl with ginger hair stands with her hip popped. She is wearing a lot of layered clothing, including a purple t-shirt / vest combo, a pink skirt, and purple thigh-high socks. She wears one long arm warmer with green and pink stripes, a dark blue wrist sweatband on the other arm, and a black hat that reads 'WINTER'. She holds a green DS with a pink screen. Around her waist is a brown belt with a holster. Digital art drawn by Emma from around 2010. A chibi manga-style white pirate girl with yellow-blonde hair in pigtails grins at the viewer, floating above simply drawn ocean waves. She wears a red bandana with white spots tired around her hair. She has turquoise eyes in a distinctive chibi style. She wears a ripped green tank top and denim shorts with an over-sized belt, and simple brown shoes. She wields a silver sword. Beside her twists the Pokemon 'Milotic'.

nostalgic for my art journey... images are from 2018, 2021, 2023, and 2024, each representing different styles i've used

i used to feel driven to 'have a style'. the advice is: 'it comes with practise'. i wonder if others see an artistic through-line in these pieces that i don't!!

however...
Digital art drawn by Emma from 2018. A pale white woman lays on her back, peering up at the viewer through forest green eyes with a sultry expression. Her black hair with a blunt cut fringe billows around her. Her dangling silver earrings sparkle. Her lips are painted a strong red. The lines and colouring of the drawing are very clean, and it has a 90s anime vibe. Digital art drawn by Emma from 2022. A young masculine-presenting half-elf lays on his side in a dreamlike state. A blanket wraps around their torso and over their head. The person gazes off-screen with a sad, worried expression. One arm arcs over their head, fingers stiffened into a claw, while the other rests lightly by his side. The image is coloured with soft washes of purple in shadowed areas, and is lit by plain white. The linework is calligraphy-like. Digital art drawn by Emma from 2023. A scruffy image drawn in MS Paint. A brown-skinned woman holds a strange glowing animal mask over her face. The animal looks like a lion / deer hybrid, with twisted bone antlers entwining with the woman's shining red hair to the left and right of her head. Her hands and fingers are held at odd angles. Objectively, the anatomy of the images is odd and hard to read, but not 'bad'. It feels intentionally scruffy. Digital art drawn by Emma from 2024. Pixel art. Emma, a white person with messy brown / white split-dyed hair, lays on their front in bed, looking at the viewer. A blanket covers them up to their waist, and they appear to be naked above that point. Their arm hangs off the bed. They appear to be in a bedroom, rendered in blue versus the yellow and red tones of Emma and their bed.

Photo of three crocheted pumpkins. The smallest at the front left is true pumpkin orange with a dark green stem and curly leaf. The second largest is to the front right, sitting at an angle. It's yellow with a light green stem and two curly leaves. The largest pumpkin at the back is dark green with a large orange stem.

posted this thread primarily so i could show you all my calendar now i'm on ADHD medication

i am finally able to have the rigid routine i've been craving my entire life. my autism is FREE 🦅
Screenshot of a calendar. Monday to Thursday - Emma's working days - are entirely time blocked, covering waking up, exercising, eating, working, 'free slots', and going to bed. Friday and the weekends don't include the free slots or work, but still feature some time-blocking.

how's my new job going, you ask?

well, to be honest, i'm having an issue with a particular workplace hazard
Photo of a cat stood firmly and squarely on a notebook. The cat is grey with white paws and black stripes and spots. The photo taker reaches out towards the notebook in vain.

the bendy beast
Photo of a grey cat with black stripes and spots. She lays on her side, half in, half out of a cat bed. Her bum rests in the bed comfortably, but her front half has 'leaked' out of the bed onto the desk. It looks ridiculous. Photo of a cat's face with a slight fish-eye effect. She is grey, with white around her green eyes and black spots and stripes. Her mouth is out of frame. She stares forwards. Her nose appears larger than normal due to the lens distortion.

meow
Screenshot of a section of a CV. A yellow 'stat block', similar to those you find on Dungeons and Dragons character sheets, reads, from top to bottom, '9 years project management experience', '7 years games industry experience', '1 naughty cat'. Underneath the latter is a small 'sticker' of a cat's face.

i got a walking pad today, and i already love it

so naturally my hand slipped and this evening i made a 'Journey to Mount Doom' walking challenge in Notion

i am 3.45km into my trek to Bree, with a long, long way to go! 💍🧙🌋
A screenshot of Notion. It shows a fourteen step journey that echoes the journey Frodo and Sam took in the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Each stage tracks progress from one destination to the next. Below is a map of Frodo and Sam's journey, and some additional resources.

A portrait photo of Emma. Emma is white, with cropped hair that's split-dyed down the middle, one half their natural brown and the other bleach blonde. They wear a crochet brown-and-white striped beanie hat decorated with small black devil horns and various colourful trinkets. They wear round glasses with clear frames. They're also wearing make-up: a peachy blush placed around the temples, and multiple tiny black and white dots placed in loosely geometric patterns around the eyes. Across the bridge of their nose is a spattering of fake freckles, and on the tip of their nose is a small white heart. They wear a maroon lipstick on their top lip. They have multiple facial piercings, and are wearing several rings and necklaces. They have on a pair of blue pinstripe dungarees over a black t-shirt. Drawn on the photo is a speech bubble which reads 'HI!', decorated with sparkles.

lil' shell sword for the #swordtember prompt today! ⚔️🐚

doubt i'll be doing a sword every day, but managed to poke at this between jobs and i'm pretty happy with how it came out

went to Studland this weekend so had lots of inspiration from razor shells, cockles, augers, and barrrrnacles ✨
Blender render of a unique sword against a light blue background. The sword is created from pastel-coloured versions of British shells: the blade is a purple razor shell. The hand-guard is formed from two pink and yellow cockle shells placed around a curling blue and brown auger shell. On the hilt and the lower part of the blade are bright, golden barnacles.

ADHD meds double dose starts today! thankful for @hjrwithpen.bsky.social in times like these so they can tell me if what i'm feeling is normal or not, and also if i'm allowed to send memes to my nurse
A screenshot of a message sent by Emma in Discord. It contains a meme, where an anime man stands on the left, gesturing to a butterfly on the right. The man is labelled 'person with ADHD on meds for the first time'. The butterfly is labelled 'mental peace and fucking quiet'. The man is asking 'is this focus?'. Beneath, Emma asks, 'can I send this to my titration nurse?'.

Coots wanna get BUFF 💪🏻
Photo of Coots, a grey cat with black spots and stripes. She sits on an exercise mat beside a dumbell. Her body is facing away from the viewer, who stands over her. She peers back over her shoulder inquisitively, green eyes wide and pink nose very pink.

local gay knight wonders if it's an issue that's she's fallen in love with the queen

scruffy scribbles tonight because it's bedtime and it's been ages since i drew this poor babe
Digital art. A knight with long black hair and a solemn expression stands at her post, one hand placed casually on the base of her sword which stands, point down, in front of her. Her other hand clenches in a fist behind her back. She's rendered in moody blues. She wears shining plate armour. The art itself is scruffy, conveying the character quickly with little fine detail.

isn't it the best when cats do this with their feet? ma'am. ma'am? what's that 🫵🏻

let's say 85% the artist, 15% me 😉 it's totally his style. i just tweaked to ensure it was adequately bumbly and bee-like

his work is brilliant, it all has that stained glass geometric vibe! he did this fly on my partner, too, to give his cowboy frog something to snack on
Photo of two tattoos. The main tattoo pictured is of a fly in a geometric black and white style. Next to it is a spotted green frog in a cowboy hat.
