Slowly chipping away at this commission with the fire in the background and Vince playing Animal Crossing 😛 It feels good to work on something traditional, I’ve not worked this way on such a large scale in a long time!

For all the new artists joining Bluesky:
🎨 You don't have to censor words such as commission, Patreon or Ko-Fi.
🎨 You can share links and your post will not be de-boosted.
🎨 You can take time away from Bluesky and come back whenever you feel like, there's no algorithm to punish you!
Finally... it is done! Now available on Vgen, my customizable spreadsheet is available to help artists figure out pricing based on their unique situation (desired wages, supply & demand, market research, PTO).
It's PWYW! ❤️ I spent ~a month on this, shares are appreciated!

An anthro female-presenting character is halfway down some unknown characters throat, topless. Her expression is flustered, concerned, and blushy. She appears to be resisting her current situation. However, this character enjoys this act, and consented to it in advance of the picture's available context. There are millions of art pieces like this that would be falsely flagged as 'rape' by an abusive and vague reporting system by bad faith actors who simply don't like what they're looking at. A large speech bubble is to the left: "I have to say that I consented to being eaten by this unknown character because I am a singular image being shown with little to no context with an 'atypical' expression of arousal, which includes a worried expression and signs of resistance. The character eating me has a very close relationship with me, but you wouldn't know that from a single image! This could have simply been tagged and filtered by Bluesky's self-moderation, but instead, if I don't say out loud that I consented to this kink scenario I find myself in, I am at risk for getting my artist banned by bad faith users that report anything they don't like as 'nonconsensual sexual material'! There is no way to protect against this, by bluesky's own vague rules, aside from openly saying that I consented to this scenario, thus ruining the freedom of viewer interpretation, taking away people's rights to see legal content, and otherwise putting any artist that firmly falls in this vague rule's 'gray area' at risk of being completely de-platformed because Bluesky wants to censor certain content, but won't even define exactly what about it will be the parameters by which content will be reported and banned. Nobody wins in this situation. But sure, Thanks for being fake-concerned about the consent of fictional characters and not listening to those "14,000+ users" you claim to have heard." And the thousands of others that are now speaking up.
There's ridiculous loopholes in this new 'nonconsensual sexual acts' rule that need to be addressed before this gets out of hand.
If you think 'this won't affect me cuz I don't draw noncon,' think again.
And it shouldn't have to affect you for you to care.

Furries, I need your help.
Temg, a childhood terminal cancer fighter, needs you now more than ever.
He wanted to quit fighting until Furrydelphia and MakeAWish got him to his first con.
Afterwards he told his parents he wants to continue fighting.
The battlefield 🗡
THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center say results of a Phase I trial of an mRNA vaccine aimed at preventing pancreatic cancer show promise. The vaccine PREVENTED the cancer from coming back in patients who had already received treatment for MORE THAN three years. 🧪🧵⬇️
Discord has apparently added generative AI "apps" users can use to modify any image posted in any discord server.
On by default, no way to disable them, no moderation tools.
Fuck discord, support artists (discord sure doesn't).

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references.
Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.
Screencap from twitter: 10:27A.M. 1/8/25 Chef Andrew Gruel: “Update: Anyone who has left LA and headed south. You are welcome at our restaurant, 16600 Pacific Coast Highway, 92649. We have a large parking lot, you can stay as long as you need and camp out. We will provide free meals for all of those affected. If anyone has any coordination in process for meals, supplies, etc for LA, reach out to me, we will provide as much food to deliver and arrange supplies as well.” Matchpoint | Sports Bar & Events: “We will do the same. Everyone who is near 2151 Yates Ave, Commerce, is welcome. We have free food and we also have our partners nearby who will be giving away clothing for those who need it.”
