This one happened to land in my lap after reading more of the book "The Creative Act" by Rick Rubin, and a concept mentioned in one of the chapters on self-doubt resonated perfectly with another that had crossed my mind when I saw these two, while browsing the tweegeemee bot's backlog.

In Buddhism, the concept of "Papancha," or "conceptual proliferation," can be summed up - rather inadequately, I should note - as a "preponderance of thoughts and feelings." I would urge you to read up about it if this art resonates at all; but considering how being full of such things almost at all times, to where regulating is so very hard for me, is pretty much my baseline, this felt worth expressing in this strange, collaborative medium I've found for myself.

The spark hit during one particularly, positively overwhelming moment while streaming, and I had to follow through on it.

This feels to me like a reprise from 07. Bathed in Shade, but I knew what it would look like the moment I saw the original generated image, and the vibe was different and striking enough to be worth its own spot.

The tab has been open ever since, and I had to follow up on it when the appropriate mood struck me; just today.

I've always felt like my art style is predominantly very flat, cartoonish, and not all that technically advanced at the face of it. I covet the work and skills of my peers that employ a more adept handling of textures, shading and forms than I feel I am capable of even if I tried to emulate them, but haven't had much success teaching myself over the years of passively developing my craft. It therefore feels somewhat ironically satisfying - and satisfyingly ironic - that the techniques I used to make this and 07. go so hard in the complete opposite direction in order to appropriately convey the intent behind them, and achieve it exactly as I'd intended.

After a brief exchange in a groupchat sparked the idea, I made a special little Bluesky account for some of my found family/polycule members to confess their sexual fantasies whenever they indulge them. You can find it here.

Because a blank profile is no place for such a vulnerable, intimate space, I quickly went about decorating it with an avatar and banner to go with it. It was a quick job but I'm really quite pleased with the results.

Vanta, one of my friend Spid's headmates and a voidhound, has a taste for rabbit. I have been told that I am particularly appealing to their palate even on top of that.

I've always found this to be strangely very flattering.

Consistency is hard, and Potential rather meaningless, when you don't even know what to expect from yourself.

I ran a stream where, at the end of each Balatro run I played, I raffled off a free art slot for a winner to get drawn as one of the jokers I ended with.

Firstly we have the three cards from my two losses; three because Jake turned up as a second winner in the first raffle, and we agreed that it would be funny if I drew him as the Stencil - so, effectively, drawing him being decidedly not there at all.

This also includes Fiona as Throwback, and Alfador as Steel.

I then played one last blinder of a run that led to a big win, and James won the subsequent raffle. Egg was in play, but I convinced him to choose a more involved one. He went with Constellation, which I'm extremely pleased about.

Here's an assortment of doodles for the latter half of 2025!

First up, a little selection of sillies of myself (Rayna, to be exact) and some friends.

I love the Jaymie Curtis drinking angrily imageset and it was high time I made a version of it for myself. Might colour them in to convert into stickers sometime.

Next, some stuff for social media.

A rather indulgent bit of art of one of Ashtrayguts' cute critters, a quick and easy diaper colouring guide, and a depiction of a fun interaction I had with Flimsyrivers on Bsky.

Last but not least; lots of Melodies!

First, puppies Melody. One asking for pets, the other asking for treats.

Next, bunnies Melody. I helped her redesign her bunnysona, after which I made several little gifties for her.

Firefox has a new mascot, and their name is Kit!

They're being very playful towards you, why not explore and play a little bit with them? :3

But uh.. Looks like those extensions you installed are kicking in, too.

Guess it's time to have some real fun online, huh?

Quicktober! Quick draws for instant whims.

It's Halloween, and there's more costumes to enjoy!

At first I'd intended to do two for each of these two final posts for Quicktober, but once I got to four, I realized I was pretty much halfway done - and came up with an idea for everyone (with one exception, which you'll see below).

The poses and detailing work on all of the costume sketches were extremely fun to do; I felt like I was in the flow for the entire set, and I think it really shows through in the art.

For this set, we have Chili, Antoinette, and Me! Can you guess who we're dressed up as? There's clues and answers hidden below.

Did you guess them all?

With that, Quicktober is done! What a trip it's been. For a while since starting it, I've felt like this wasn't as ambitious an undertaking as Kinktober in 2023, but sitting with that feeling a little longer, I think I made up for the lack of colour and linework that I showcased back then, with quite a bit of storytelling and doubling up on several of the ideas I made every day.

I'm proud of having gotten it done, and what I got done as a result of it, too; especially with a lot of the other challenges I'd been dealing with this month, and not having missed a single day despite, at times, feeling like I really, really wanted to.

With that said though, you might have noticed someone missing! That's because my friend MoT was kind enough to make a costume for Chip while I was working on the first ones of these on stream!

It's such an amazing piece! Look at the BuBuy²!!

It's Halloween! I wasn't gonna let the holiday pass by without some fun with dressing up, so here's what I came up with.

I recently set up an armchair in my room for comfier gaming sessions, and that led to an opportunity to do a bit of furniture and unusual posing practice.

Also, casual trans bunny nudity.

This project idea crystallized in my mind the weekend I got back from the States, thanks to many disparate plot threads coming together with me running into more problems, not even a week into me returning from another intense and emotional adventure.

Once again, a change in policy on a platform we thought was safe, or different in any way (a naive assumption, one might say, but on the flipside; always assuming you're in danger is just as unhealthy) led me to pass up some well-needed rest - which I'd actually scheduled time for - in favor of running more sessions of my panel to spread the word about how to stay safe and maintain a presence online.

I was fed up. Exhausted. Done with feeling like I had to waste my time and energy playing whack-a-mole with their stupid garbage almost every goddamn day.

I started working on this alongside the extra prepwork I needed for the bonus panel sessions I ran online, and a week of frankly frantic effort later, I made this.

For those not in the know, the two bunnies prominently featured are Praline and Chili respectively, two of my median facets.

Before losing you to the comic and further backstory after the jump, I want to mention that I've also made the closing panels into merch designs that you can buy, and support my work in the process. Thank you for your consideration.

This came about because while I was away, and visiting part of the "extended found family" overseas, I was invited to make a piece of graffiti to add to their bathroom wall. Taking this altogether too seriously, I sketched out a design to later apply to the communal canvas.

This was just days after having had to just about completely erase what makes me who I am for the purposes of sanitizing myself at border control, so then ending up with such a wonderfully welcoming and affirming space had me feeling at the very least rather litigious and confrontational with the "authorities" who would gladly stifle us if they could.

I wanted whoever was visiting that space to know; if they're there, they're likely with people who they love and care about - and that they should fight for their joy, because giving that up would be giving villains what they want.

Fast forward to when I was grappling with Bsky's latest sorry excuse of a policy update two weekends ago, and this comic was the result.
