your hatching is always on point, the shadow on the hoodie is so nicely done

trying to get passport renewal done this week, which means i have to get my hair looking vaguely reasonable once again (the sidemost parts of my bangs are doing this hair-horns thing that i think is funny but am not sure i want on an official document)

also this sunday the gas gets shut off for a whole month while they test the building for expired hoses & leaks & whatnot so i am mentally preparing for the many cold showers in my future

oh, and i just yesterday finished week 4 of the C52 art fundamentals challenge, i’m doing inbetween ‘standard’ & ‘heavy’ levels, hopefully i can stick with it because the structure feels quite helpful for me!

there is a popular post on the BuyFromEU subreddit today mentioning piefed (among other fediverse platforms) but i don’t know if that was all or if there is something else going on too

so cute 😭 i love the different button eyes, a very endearing little chap

dang thats multiple types of suck, thanks for letting me know, glad i dont use it anymore!

edit: revoking my recc pls see the reply! i dont use it anymore but Deezer was very easy to move to back when i tried it, and had some quite solid staff-curated playlists. don’t know what it is like now tho, i am just using my local files & SomaFM via musicbee these days.

in my circles we tend to use the 🤝 as a way of saying “same” and i think it could work for this kind of context too

the promo worked on me 😄

still pretty hooked on Street Sex - Full Color Eclipse but also been listening to Nitzer Ebb a lot recently

thats a cool interpretation but im just crap at rocks 😅

yeah it gets a bit frustrating when i would like to see more invested into new stories (not saying this never happens, it does! i just mean…even more lol). i do think its possible for remakes to be good (or even great!) so i try to keep an open mind about them but imo an ideal remake/reboot needs to have a strong vision and forge its own identity, nod to the original but also very much do its own thing. tricky balance and maybe its just that theres rarely enough time/money/patience/risktaking given to support good, fresh writing :/

very nice, i especially like ur wood textures, the light effect is so well done too!

if i may, i suggest focusing more on supporting smaller creators instead, it will make a much bigger difference to them. if there is a youtuber whose work u really like, kick em a few bux on their patreon or kofi, bc most of those ppl get shit all revenue, esp if they don’t get sponsors or get demonetised a lot, and youtube takes a big cut of donos. imo supporting ppl that way, buying music & merch off bandcamp, commissioning artists or buying from their online shop, support ur local arthouse/indie cinema, putting some $ into kickstarters/backerkits, etc - that helps pay ppls rent & bills. everyone can do what they like with their own money but for me, it makes no sense to give millionaires more cash when u can help someone who is operating on a shoestring.

so pretty! ur values are nicely-contrasted too (weird compliment maybe but its something i struggle with so)

i love how precise ur hatch marks are & the details in the outfit

nice work with the hatching, i like the breezy palm trees & the motion in the water too

lmaoo yes indeedy!! :D and prob i will have learned some more kupu by then too :3

nope ;_; i will keep chipping away it it tho (it’s a drawing project and i have been drawing really badly this week so)

maybe try wafrn (tumblr-like platform), that way it can go out to both fediverse & bsky

**edit ** to say i poked about and im now not clear on the wafrn > fedi side of things, i know u can see fedi posts from there but unsure about vice versa, sorry for any misinforming!

Ghostwatch is the main one that comes to mind for me, i find it very cosy :)

some others that i like set around halloweentime:

• WNUF Halloween Special
• Flatliners
• Ginger Snaps
• Night of the Demons

the new V/H/S movie this year is also Halloween-themed so i am interested to see that! they seem to be putting one out every october now so it has become a bit of a habit for me to have a group watch of the new one bc even when a segment isn’t that great it’s fun to be able to crack jokes abt it with friends.
