- finishes working on sketch.

- takes picture of sketch with phone.

- gets picture on laptop to crop.

- starts cropping.

- spots a stray cat hair on sketch.

picture un-useable. scrap it. gah.

The picture in question:

THIS is the offending photo! LOOKIT THAT HECKIN PIECE OF FINE CAT FUR. that's from one of my 2 bubbby gorls (they both have long fur coats with fine-haired layers), either Salem or Sawyer. i would say it's Salem's fur because she's often around me/where i took this, but Sawyer's been a lil beans girl and has been hanging around more lately too. hmmmmm.

And after all that, after taking picture after picture on multiple days, under different lighting, i don't even like this image anymore ;w;

a slightly duller version because i was apparently afraid of colour when upping the vibrancy.

you can REALLY see the exact texture of my sketchbook paper, pencil crayon layerings, and watercolour blotches in this one. because direct sunlight hates me personally.

anyways, the entire point of all this was to practice old-gold altmer skintones. because my brain refuses to process what the hecky golds/golden-browns/ancient-worn-old-green-golds look like. it's a problem.

and i had a bunch of pencil crayons just laying there...

i've seen multiple cases where artfight refuses to take down obviously gen ai images.

so, stating again, i'm not participating.

Every single non trans woman who proclaims to be an ally absolutely needs to be posting about how goddamn transmisogynist staff is.

Because when trans women dare to speak up for themselves, Tumblr nukes their blogs.

We need to be fucking loud about this, daily, because Tumblr staff is specifically targeting and deleting trans women who are not breaking ToS and who often have fundraisers up FOR THEIR SURVIVAL.

By deleting these blogs repeatedly, Tumblr staff is saying loud and clear what they hope happens to these girls.

Are y'all okay with that? Because if not we need to be posting about it more because we have seen by now it's incredibly fucking unlikely this sites moderation will delete our blogs for it because we are not trans women

Tumblr staff and CEO Matt Mullenweg want trans women in need to not be able to post their fundraisers, meaning they are okay with these women dying.

first attempt/test at filming my arting shenanigans.

dokiwatch magicalgirl emre fan skin idea:

need to futz around with colours and draw a proper front view, but this is what i have so far.

[cthulhubrain]

[cthulhubrain]

dokiwatch idea for emre wip.

started scribbling around with a doll/puppet skin idea for emre, then got distracted by dokiwatch skins and one thing led to another.

[cthulhubrain]

[bam-monsterhospital]

THE CYCLOPS 2026 SERIES WRITTEN BY ALEX PAKNADEL

i am in goddamn love with this mcheckin series.

hang on hang on i gotta post some panels because gjkasl;gjdfksla; THIS IS WHAT I'VE WANTED. IT'S JUST HIM.

while having a chunk of wood impaled in his side, he not only keeps his head, but also teaches a child probably the most useful mental/emotional trick ever... especially for a mutant living in this horrific world that is the marvel universe.

(Now, bear with me, the adhd is in full swing right now and I'm having brain-translation-organization troubles.) i was like "omg that's what he does! this is how he does it!" Paknadel laid out a specific exercise (that works irl btw. stuff like this is real for centering oneself/focusing/calming down) to explain the Scott Summers brand of stubborn fuck syndrome. Scott's vise-like grip on his mind and faculties has been a comics staple for decades, but the most we ever get that explores what that requires and what it says about a person has been vague shit like 'oh he puts his worries in a box, lalala', moving on immediately afterwards. I cannot articulate how much i adore this and how much this means to me.

The exercise works, Mei can use her superstrength again, and pulls out the 'splinter' (fuckinnNN CHUNK) of wood.

sidenote: thank you Paknadel for addressing the fact that pulling out a huge impaled object is the last thing you want to do under normal circumstances. (since they're no where near any med facility, have to move and potentially fight, AND scott has magical heckin sealant, leaving it in would just cause it to move around and damage even more tissue).

i love this exchange: Mei: "But I wasn't under psychic attack..."

Scott: "Sure, you were. From yourself."

fjsalkf;jdsaklf; SO GOOD FSAJFDS

i'll stop it there for this post even though i want to continue on. Paknadel is fantastic writing Scott again, just like he was in "Eversong", just like I had hoped he'd be. This series is a delight, all the fuckin knowledge and understanding of the history and characters and THEMES surrounding this particular character aaaaaaaaaa.

Go read the Cyclops 2026 mini series. Do it!

dunmer wip

was playing a lot of tamriel rebuilt.

[cthulhubrain]

playing the Tamriel Rebuilt mod for Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind has scratched the itch vanilla morrowind almost reaches. I had to do a few lil doodles. Trying to translate the polygonal face models, as well as a quick lil study of the dreugh shell armour chest piece.

and a lil green blob. totally not an unfinished dimple doo-dad. totally not amidst other unfinished dimple blobs.

some occtis tachonis doodlings

t2026 update: i’m gonna throw links to the audio i’m referencing below these images.

some more scribbley digital works in progress from recent busytimes…

scott: “Give it up Sinister, I know all your tricks. My team’s been spying on you for months now, you can’t win.”

-a few scenes later-

*after getting his hand blasted off, sinister just fuckinnnnn appear-i-fies another right in its place. everyone pauses while they witness this new weird dumb sinister bullshit* scott: “… why.” sinister (smugly): “I have a third hand.”

these were referencing audio from CalebCity’s “When the writer of a show only focuses on progressing the plot” vid.

anyways!

bobbert and hank, best buddies forever

i said ‘forever’, bobbert.

bobby no

these images are referencing audio from 5:54 minutes in to this Puppet History video. first image: bobby: “Is AAU- Is that the same thing that is the baskeball organization today?-” hank: “I don’t fuckin know.” *jean immediately bursts out laughing*

second image: bobby: “I guess I figured you would do some research.”

third image: jean: “-HHWHWHAAAATT” *proceeds to absolutely lose her shit as bobbert is proud of himself and hank is demolished.

[cthulhubrain]

more scribbley shenanigans

some more works in progress, specifically audio-matching: 

*sinister grows another hand right where previous hand had been blasted off. everyone (understandably) pauses for weirdness.* scott: “… why.” sinister: “I have a third hand.” scott: “under yOUR LAST HAND?”

sinister: “… yes! >83c “

*everyone is so done-oh hay is that wolverine in the bottom right? wow.*

scott (800% done): “that… physically. makes no sense.”

sinister: “i did it.”

edit (2026): i just pot captions underneath and between these images, and a link below this to show the audio i was referencing for these unfinished shenanigans: CalebCity’s wonderful “When the writer of a show only focuses on progressing the plot”. (it’s literally one of my absolute favourites of his works)
