I know this feeling. My coworkers asked this year why I don't take the day off. I usually only have Jae for company at home around then, and there's a difference between seeing "happy birthday" on a screen and actually hearing someone's voice.

Artfight sketch for @nixsmis.bsky.social of her character Apollo. His bio said he was a barista so I had to roll with it. XD

I probably should have drawn Rinka naked as she was searching for her flower through the bog. I want to add branches and shit to her fur. But I'm not allowed to draw right now. XD For @datban.bsky.social

So what you're saying is that if I was to ask for a pic of Molly licking vanilla ice cream, and it's dripping down the boob, the chill causing things to poke, for the right price. Noted.

You know. It seems you have a lot of good stuff to share of late, so it might slip through the cracks... I guess that's the right kind of problem to have.

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖

Honestly my "whatever you want to call it" is mostly an "I trust this person enough to ramble about whatever has my interest right now" type of thing. Is that flirting? I have no idea.

I think the default is "only from people I follow", which can help a ton for us casuals but isn't what gets commission details to artists.

Games can just not click, yeah. Sometimes the trailer and stuff doesn't show the obnoxious parts of the game. Or even the UI is just... "nah."

People looking to claim comms will either a. be as responsible about it as possible and stick to the most professional option possible or b. shitheads like me that you've known for ages.

Patreon Sketch for @datban.bsky.social of Krinele in a pillow pile reading a book. It's a callback to a pic I drew for him about 18 years ago.

I have more slots for monthly sketches on Patreon! Normally these are bust sketches, but sometimes I go where inspiration takes me. patreon.com/jlbriere

To be honest, it almost sounds like you could put a live trap right on the kitchen counter and bait it with bagel crumbs with some success. Might at least be in view enough you'd notice it.

The good news is the mouse wasn't roasted, as the mouse was stuck in a spot blocking the entire thing from operating. The bad news is we don't make toast very often and the little thing didn't squeak in distress. =/

Hmmm. If it's just a chunk of your mind doing spinnies in the chair, maybe do the spinnies? Try to focus on the spinnies. Get the brain to rebel against the spinnies and maybe get distracted by work.

Very much so... I've had people ask me about games they've seen me play, and my response is "Well, I enjoy it. You might or might not." It's annoying that people come back complaining to me when we clearly have different tastes.

Personally, as a viewer, I find the system just obnoxious, ugly, and in the way. It makes it even harder to browse point redeems with that notification almost always there. Would be nice to cut it as a viewer without resorting to something like customizing ublock.

Yeah. Feels like a brain going: "Is this sketch really good enough to be colored? Would they have chosen to do so, having seen it?"

Honestly, except in extreme circumstances I wouldn't know if I want an upgrade until after the sketch anyhow. If the idea is to get you money, I'll just pay for tiddums, maybe some booty.
