This is another old charcoal drawing that I drew over a decade ago of a hamster holding an egg.

So, this is a charcoal sketch of classic Sonic that I drew back in 2015; just a bit over a decade ago.

A crayon drawing of Cream, Cheese, and Chocola making stepping stones in their back yard. Cream is making a handprint stepping stone while Cheese and Chocola make a heart-shaped stepping stone with their heads and a plus sign drawn in it. Tails also came by to visit and helped Cheese and Chocola with their stepping stone.

In the background is Cheese and Chocola's mud puddle.

This was photographed through a Lumix GF2 with a cheap, no-name 35mm f1.6 native-mount manual prime lens mounted to it.

An oil pastel drawing of Cream, Cheese, and Chocola making mixed-media friendship art. Cream is making purple handprints while Cheese sticks down a paper cutout of Chocola's face and Chocola fingerpaints.

Scattered about the art table are a styrofoam tray of purple paint Cream is using for her handprints, various pieces of construction paper with bits cut out, a pair of scissors, a bottle of purple paint, and a bottle of glue which has been spilled out some.

In the background are a pair of handprint canvases, one being pink, heart-shaped, and made by Sonic and Amy, a fingerpainting, and wall art of a Chao's head.

This is also my first attempt at drawing a Sonic character in my current art style.

An acrylic painting of a white bunny making a cardboard gingerbread house and a brown bunny just chilling next to her.

Scattered about the scene are four pieces of cardboard which have had pieces cut out of it for the gingerbread house, two pieces of blue card stock for the roof, a piece of blue construction paper for the window, and a piece of red construction paper for the door, as well as red and green pompoms and white tinsel which has had pieces cut out of it to simulate snow, as well as a pair of scissors and a bottle of glue which has spilled out a bit. I also added some Duplos in the background that the bunnies had been playing with earlier.

A mixed-media painting of Pichu and Dedenne holding paws in front of the tree after playing with their Christmas toys. Scattered in front of them are crayons and paper for Dedenne, which he had been drawing with, fingerpaints and paper for Pichu, which she had been painting with (Spiky-ears is a girl at least as far as I've seen in discourse), and Duplos between the two of them. Dedenne's right paw is smudged with paint as the result of Pichu having been fingerpainting earlier before holding paws.

This was painted with Arteza brush pens and Crayola Signature watercolor crayons, and was photographed through a Lumix GF2 with a no-name 35mm f1.6 manual, native-mount prime lens mounted to it.

Also, fuck you, Mark Cuban. AI doesn’t make creative people more creative. Actually picking up a crayon or a pencil or whatever your jive is, and actively creating more, makes creative people more creative.

AI just makes everyone's lives worse by being a massive grift.

This is going to kill both FOSS and FOSH, and it's also going to kill the Fediverse and other decentralized and self-hosted platforms.

Welcome back, SOPA.

So, given Twitter is trying to use your content to train Grok, this is the best reason possible to kill your account there, because even though you can turn this stuff off, for now, what's stopping Adolf Musk from pulling an Adobe and turning this stuff on permanently, basically using your content to train Grok against your will, with no opt-out?

You'll be a lot better off moving your content to Mastodon or even ATproto (as in a third-party PDS such as Blacksky or even a self-hosted PDS, not bsky.social which is controlled by Bsky corporate and their questionable moderation choices) in terms of having actual control over it.

A crayon drawing of the Pikachu family making holiday art. Pikachu painted a snowy daytime scene with a tree in it and is showing it off for the fictional camera, while Pichu is painting a snowman set against a night scene, and Raichu is making a paper tree. There are various art supplies scattered on the table with glitter spills of assorted colors as well. In the background is a paper tree decorated with pawprints, a pawprint antler reindeer, and a paper snowman.

This was photographed through a Lumix GF2 with a cheap M4/3 35mm prime lens mounted to it that I'm going to be messing around with for the foreseeable future when photographing any more art.

A mixed-media drawing of Hamtaro, Bijou, and Penelope playing in Mega Bloks laid out like a 'city' of sorts.

This was drawn using Crayola markers and Arteza brush pens, with watercolors also layered onto the characters and for Hamtaro and Bijou's eye reflections, and was photographed through an EOS Rebel T3i with a Vivitar Series 1 19-35mm f4.5-4.5 FD-mount zoom lens mounted to it, and I added a Polachrome sim filter to it.

So, this just came up in my mind, but this is kinda sad to think about; as of 2021, when Embracer bought out Dark Horse, out of all the major comic houses in the US, the only one left who's still independent is Image, as DC is owned by WB/Netflix, Marvel is owned by Disney, and as of 2021, Dark Horse is owned by Embracer.

If any industry needs more indie publishing houses like Image, it's the Western comic industry.

A mixed-media painting of a pair of squirrels engaged in a snowball fight with a third just chilling next to a tree.

There are a couple snowmen in the scene too.

This was painted with watercolor and then I layered crayons on top of that, including glitter crayons in attempt to simulate shimmer from sunlight reflecting on snow, and I went with a purple sky because I thought it was cuter than a gray sky.

This was photographed through an EOS Rebel T3i with a Vivitar Series 1 19-35mm f3.5-4.5 FD-mount zoom lens and it had a Polachrome sim filter applied to it.
