Ep 11: Signal After several investigations into a small town in the Japanese countryside go missing, anamalous task force STORAGE is summoned to investigate the area with Cadet and Ultra-Human Dia in tow. When they arrive, the townspeople attempt to redirect the team away from the town and the investigations, and when that fails, become hostile. STORAGE retreats and observes from town from afar, where they see the townspeople converge on the town square wearing multicolored, multi-eyed masks. As the town filters out and down the road, STORAGE splits between following the townspeople and investigating the town. Dia, following the townspeople, soon finds herself and her team at the local TV town, which is surrounded by shrines covered in eyes. In the town, the second team witnesses a signal overtake all electronic devices, eyes opening on the screen. Here, the signal is easily filtered out by the STORAGE anomaly filters, but, closer to the source, the first team isn't so lucky. Dia, due to her nonhuman biology, is the only member of the team not overtaken by the signal. She is forced to flee towards the tower, the signal getting louder and louder as she nears. Without options, she transforms into ULTRA DIA, and easily defends herself from the mob of townspeople and STORAGE members. Sensing it is in danger, the TV Tower increases its signal, and the humans in the area collapse. Dia is unable to worry for their safety for long as the ground rumbles and the TV Tower rips itself out of the ground, a huge multicolored body made of light and signal fizzling into view as it rises, eyes opening all along its body. Alien Angel has revealed itself, and Ultra Dia is in trouble… CONTINUED in Episode 12: Noise

Drew @ask-drakos's fursona for her birthday!! Had a real fun time with the dynamism and perspective on this piece. Also Nemo is sooooo cute. <3

Inspired by a scene in Shin UIltraman, here's Ultrawoman Dia transforming in dramatic fashion!! Really happy with this piece, I probably could have exaggerated the rim lighting more ala the original scene, but I wanted Dia to still be visible. I've been experimenting a lot with real backgrounds and lighting and dynamic poses the past year, and I think it's really been paying off lately!

charseraph and I collaborated on a couple of OCs in their science fiction universe, a Tower and a Human. They drew the lovely art of course while we worked together on the lore and design. Far Away(they/them) suffers from deeply held anxiety and paranoia due to a predator attack in their youth and their distance from other Towers. They lead a lonely, stressful life jumping at shadows when a group of human explorers, Research Team "Hollywood Ogre", practically stumble upon them deep in a biome not commonly inhabited by towers due to the cold climate and thick forests. They slowly establish communications with the nervous wreck that is Far Away, and through this they meet Maria(They/She), a tiny data technician and backup translator who is a night owl workaholic who doesn't get good sleep at the best of times. Maria has her own history of anxiety and bipolar disorder, and liked to spend nights after everyone else has gone to sleep talking to Far Away and sharing their experiences. Through this bond Far Away makes their first real friend and feels safe enough to fall asleep naturally, with Maria comfortably by their side. Research Team Hollywood Ogre soon develops into a research outpost, both to keep Far Away company and to learn from someone who has firsthand experience with this poorly understood biome. They start with relieving Far Away's claustrophobia by cutting out the forest into a clearing around the tower. This Research Post, 'Far Far Away' eventually becomes a hub for support for Towers and Humans who have their own mental health issues across the planet. Far Away and Maria may never fully recover, but they have come a long way, and that's good too.

Every once in a while someone I check my tumblr and see someone has reblogged this and it makes me happy that other people still enjoy these two and Char and I's collaboration.

Commission for @nightjarring of his character, Zeta! This is probably one of my best works yet, combining new and old skills and tricks to create something I'm really proud of.

The initial composition came pretty naturally, with Zeta's humanoid body hanging below the lizard one, but adding the curtains and bed as framing elements helped it come together. Then we decided on the watercolor+pencils rendering style and I kinda went wild there? Shading isn't easy with this style, persay, but it is really intuitive to me, and I had a good time blending colors together. I then felt the image needed a background, and experimented with a solid floor and wall before deciding on something vaguer. I think this really added to the dreamlike and abstract energy to the piece I started out with. Finally, I went through a couple frame iterations to really tie it all together, and it I think it really did come together!!

I definitely learned some things in the process of making this, how to use CSP Rulers, for one, and how to use the selection tool to maintain clean borders between coloring areas with the ever-messy watercolor brushes. I also got a little better at blending and using the rough watercolor brush in CSP!

Once again, thank you @nightjarring for this commission, I had a real good time making it!

on nov 18th, my dad was rushed to the hospital following an esophageal bleed, which was the result of a prior banding procedure he received for complications from his liver cancer rupturing.

he fought, and improved bit by bit. against medical advice, he left the hospital yesterday. we all begged him not to, but he just wasnt in his right mind at all. he visibly just was so, so sick. they said if anything happened, he could rush Straight back with just a call

last night he kept complaining of dizziness, then stopped being able to move from pain and shortness of breath. they did cpr for 30 minutes in the ambulance, but was pronounced dead after arriving

it still all feels entirely fake. finances are about to get even more difficult now that he is gone

tomorrow, on the 5th, i have a $250 payment that ive paid $92 off of so far. theres also just daily life expenses and other things we struggle with enough before this happened

im very much in shock and dont know how to cope. any and all help is appreciated; we dont know what we're going to do, im so sorry to keep asking as of late.

Go to paypal.me/adjobj and type in the amount. Since it’s PayPal, it's easy and secure. Don’t have a PayPal account? No worries.

[rhythmandstealth]

im ostensibly moving this weekend. got told itll be a lil over $1k for the truck rental. hopefully my uncle will be able to scrounge up the money for it but im asking for a bit of help as a buffer just in case. please share and consider pitching in a bit if you can. thank you

paypal cashapp

[rhythmandstealth]

everything is still a bit nebulous rn so im gonna go ahead and give this a push and say im at $350 / 1500. its a lil higher than the number i was given but id like to have a bit of extra cushioning just in case

[normalhorsez]

making a new post, so all the info is in one place:

hi. on 9/7/25, i went to the hospital for persistent worsening uveitis (it has been almost 3 months) + a migraine. i reacted Badly to the medication given to me and was admitted.

on admission they did many tests. my heart was cleared, but elevated pressure was found in my brain And my eye. mri + ct proved no tumor; spinal tap revealed no infection. walked out with a chronic migraine and hypertension dx. atm i Also have probable IIH and we are investigating possible autoimmune issues Or ankylosing spondylitis to explain the eye bullshit that keeps occuring.

i had been working on a bill as stated in my prior post - which was only for the heart ultrasound. today (9/29/25) i received a second one in the mail for $1,150 for the rest of the imaging i underwent due oct 7th. i am working on doing what i can about this but rven Besides this i have a neurologist appointment to make i cannot afford and therapy on oct 3rd. ugh.

i want to draw again but my capacity for comms is iffy. if you are okay with a wait, i can see what i can do regarding smaller $30 pieces. message me about it. otherwise.. help is deeply appreciated because i am so fucked lol.

Go to paypal.me/adjobj and type in the amount. Since it’s PayPal, it's easy and secure. Don’t have a PayPal account? No worries.

[normalhorsez]

would you rather come home to find every inch of the floor of your house covered in butter (you might slip and fall) or syrup (incredibly sticky and gets everywhere, but probably won't cause you to slip)? obviously neither is particularly desirable but for this hypothetical you have to pick one

Butter definitely, I'll take the risk if it means it's easier to clean.
