Creb consistently produces some of the best emotes and stream artwork I've seen. If yous are needing anything, should definitely commision her!
crebecca.bsky.social Crebecca 🏳️‍⚧️🦀 @crebecca.bsky.social · 13d
A goal I'd love to reach early this year is to become verified on VGen! (vgen.co/crebecca)

The only milestone I'm missing is earning $100 in a 30-day span, so please consider commissioning me!

I offer emotes, thumbnails, character art - custom enquiries are open, so happy to discuss other things!
A range of my Your Character Here emotes, which feature a small purplish-blue person showcasing a variety of emotions. A thumbnail from Sharlit's shiny hunting bug-catcing contest video. A young cartoon woman in a tank top and shorts is kneeling in the grass, looking horrified as she holds two shiny Caterpie, while a shiny Beedrill disappears into the thick grass behind her back. A third shiny Caterpie descends from above, looking at the viewer. A drawn thumbnail from the Frog Kissers Duo Sprint 2 announcement trailer. A blue-haired femme character and an orange-haired masc character (rendered in the style of Old School Runescape) are holding a large, green, blushing frog in their hands, and both are kissing the frog, who is having a lovely time. My Gym Leader-sona. I am wearing a purple shirt and purple pyjama pants, on which are a pattern of Pumpkaboos, as well as Mimikyu slippers and a deep maroon dressing gown. I have long brown hair, dip-dying into a purple colour, and I look pale and tired. Around me are a Jumbo-size Gourgeist, a Cursola, a Hisuian Typhlosion and a Mismagius.

Managed to workout with the dumbbells and do some time on the exercise bike today and last Friday. My mental health is already feeling much improved. Don't you just hate that? Why can't a long cosy lie in work just as well

I have launched a little print shop with a selection of photos, a mix of film and digital, which I aim to rotate regularly. I’m bad at self-promotion but please take a look:

ko-fi.com/certhia_phot...
a film photo of a covered bridge in Glasgow. The railings have a serpentine curve which draws the eye into the distance, and the photo is full of warm orange tones a black-and white photo of a jetty on derwent water, in the Lake District. There is a sleepy duck in the foreground, and snow-covered hills in the background a macro photo of water droplets on a fallen leaf a photo of a highland cow, with their tongue poking out

In my restless dreams, I see that town.
Title screen from the Scottish live-action children's programme Balamory. The image showes colourful coastal houses, a boating coming into dock, and a large hell in the background. The text "balamory" is curved with each letter having a different colour.

there’s an incredibly strong overlap between people who believe that trans people are inherently predators and people who believe that being a predator if you’re a rich white man is basically fine

Black and white drawing of Looney Tunes character Marvin the Martian. The drawing is from a scene from the Hare-Way to the Stars (1958) short film. Marvin is standing on what remains of his destroyed space station after the Illudium Pu-36 Explosive Space Modulator exploded. Marvin's clothes are also damaged. Black uni pin fine line pen was used for the drawing, and black POSCA for the background. White acrylic paint was also splattered to represent the stars. Drawing was done in a 96gsm sketchbook. Drawing of Red Guy from Cow and Chicken. They resemble a red devil and are nude. They have a pointy tail, yellow eyes, white teeth and a red body. They are standing with their lower body facing away, and their butt in view, but their upper body is twisted around to face forward. They are smiling, looking upwards with their hands together under their face. They also have a pointed tail resembling a triangle coming from their lower back. Black uni pin fine liner used for the outline, and black, red, yellow and blue POSCA was used for the main body, shade and details. Drawing was done in a 96gsm sketchbook.

There is a garbage pile in the centre containing objects such tubing, pipes, a radio, and a has cannister. Standing atop this pile is the character Red from the strip wearing a green hoodie, green trousers, black and white canvas trainers, brown backpack and holding a slingshot. Apart from their eyes and nose, their head is covered by the hoodie. Sitting next to the pile on the left of the cover is the character Pod with blond shoulder length hair, a white top and grey trousers obscured by the grass. Running towards the pile on the right if the cover is the character of Pip, who is wearing a white cat costume that leaves only their face visible. They have whiskers drawn on their cheeks.

One front facing portrait drawing of a feminine presenting person in the foreground. And a side profile drawing of a feminine person in a body covering garment in the background.. These drawings are done in black ink, solid ink for shadow and washed of ink for tone. They are both framed and hung up on walls.

Do you have 10 minutes to spare for trans rights?

Them: Don't come back here with your bullshit.
Me coming back with my bullshit:
Image is a screenshot taken from the 1953 Merrie Melodies cartoon Duck Dodgers in the ⁠24+1/2⁠th Century (spoken as "twenty-fourth-and-a-half"). The main character of Daffy Duck is making his way across the screen with a smirk on his face and crouched very low. He is wearing a red cape with a green shirt and a metal hat that has a yellow circle on top a black line coming from the top of it. The green pillar of an elevated platform is visible behind him, while the visual of stars in space through glass is in the background.
