Discord is about to roll out global age-gating next month.

For those looking to get off Discord in the wake of this upcoming global age-gating, I'll put my Matrix down, and also link a directory of Matrix servers for you to join if you can't self-host.

My Matrix: @dfx4509b:unredacted.org
List of Matrix servers you can sign up for.

'Chao Marker Portrait'

A marker drawing of a Chao posing at the Chao Garden in front of the pond.

This was drawn with Crayola markers and blended with a brush pen filled with water, and photographed through a Lumix GF2 with a cheap, no-name 35mm f1.6 manual, native-mount prime lens mounted to it.

'Block City'

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.

'Festive Art Time with Pichu and Raichu'

A marker and watercolor crayon drawing of Pichu and Raichu making a winter-themed collage collab featuring themselves engaged in a snowball fight in their playroom. They're surrounded by assorted colors of construction paper that have all had shapes cut out of them, and there's also two pairs of scissors and a couple bottles of glue next to them, both of them having been spilled out on the floor.

I also gave my new watercolor crayons a try for this one, in addition to using my Crayola markers.

This was drawn with a combination of Crayola markers and watercolor crayons, and it was photographed with an EOS Rebel T3i with a Vivitar Series 1 19.35mm f3.5-4.5 FD-mount lens mounted to it.

'Pikachu and Buneary art collab'

A marker drawing of Pikachu and Buneary doing a fingerpainting collab that I drew as a late entry into octillerink2025's 'Paintress' category, with Buneary being the 'Paintress' in this scene despite a collab being depicted.

A marker drawing of Pikachu and Buneary fingerpainting as a late entry for #octillerink2025's 'Paintress' category (Buneary is the 'Paintress' in this scene although it's a collab with Pikachu). This was mostly drawn in Crayola markers blended with a wet brush, with some parts also being drawn in Colpart alcohol markers, with the Colparts also being used as a shader.
