Profile bio says Linux user, so the meme must be talking about someone else. Either that or they're lying, which no one would ever do on the internet!

Something that stresses me out is when the game tosses me into scaling +mult with Ride the Bus, and then trying to discard face cards while playing something like pairs. Only scored face cards reset the bus, and if you have a hand full of them with no discards, you will be screwed if you don't burn them in earlier hands. Every time I toss what should be an unscored face card into a hand, I get a bit of a sweat I fucked it up and will blow the run. A learned stress after absently mindedly clicking and making a two pair instead of a pair on more than one occasion, it's not a nice feeling!

I do, and have, posted OC here and to other communities. I pretty much have a rule that this account will only ever post things I've made, photos I've taken, things like that. This also comes with the caveat that I simply don't create all that much, and when I do, it's likely not relevant to a lot of communities anyway.

Only thing I've created this past month was an FSF memorabilia action unboxing video of a plush GNU I won. Not exactly the meme centric type of post 196 largely appreciates lol. If I create something I feel fits in the future though, I'll post it!

First off, could you clear up some confusion for me? The question just before this one talks about another artist pretty much making your sona entirely themselves and you not knowing how to draw, but this question says you're a no name artist. I suppose you don't have to be a visual artist specifically, but the way it's worded makes it sound as if you are a visual artist here, but not in the other question you posted in the same hour.

Second off, I absolutely do not recommend approaching someone about similar looking designs unless you were absolutely sure they were deliberately copying your artwork. There are countless anthro designs by so many people, and unless you're doing something incredibly complex and specialized, it is no surprise you will find similar character designs out there. There's only so many ways you can draw a blue dog or a purple fox before characters could be mistaken for one another at a glance. I've seen sonas similar to mine before, and I am absolutely certain I will again. Hell I've seen people with fox sonas named Foxfire lmao, it just happens.

If you're unsure about a situation, you can always try to envision yourself on all sides of it. Imagine you posted some WIP artwork of your sona online, and someone you didn't recognize asked that you changed your identity in some way because your character shares similar traits to theirs (e.g. colors, some markings), or maybe even the same name. Is this something you'd want to constantly have to worry about whenever you express yourself through art? Does it feel like a positive space to share your creative work in?

In all seriousness, there is a stark difference between writing a letter and drawing a letter. Give the artist some time to draw a word and I bet it'd look great, but that's not an efficient way to jot down notes or a list.

You're welcome, glad I could help!

I made some lineless art of my plushie Kicks for his birthday today! I also learned a little more about Kicks' character and tried to incorporate some of those elements as icons for the background, such as the ladybug for enjoying nature, the bow for Sagittarius, and the shoe + handbag for elements of his buisness.

 

We're having a meal together! I saw Vaporeon in the corner stand of a flea market, and decided to adopt them. Now they will have a place to call home again, and hugs too!

 

A silly short animation I made about a pun because I love dad jokes! Also I figure it's a good way to show off Peertube, since most everything here is YouTube links.

 

I noticed a quite lovely funnel web yesterday morning! The maker was hiding of course, so I figured I'd lightly tap the web's edge with a piece of straw. That absolutely did the trick, and I was impressed with this little spider's speed with checking out the tiny disturbance! They explored the web for a couple minutes, and I tried to take some pictures to show off both the web and it's owner. I liked this one the most, so I'm sharing it with you all!

 

Saw this little one when I was out at a store, looks like goldenrod soldier beetle! Their coloration really stood out amongst the gray carts, so I was quickly drawn to them, and tried taking some close-up images!

 

I took this a little while back with a macro lens I had on my old phone. I was amazed at just how close I got, there are lots of very visible features here that I'd entirely overlook seeing a grasshopper minding themselves out in the world. I'm appreciative they stood still long enough to take the picture, as you might imagine even some tiny movement would've made this a blurry mess.

When you get your duck friend, you're supposed to whisper a cool name into their ear, and they'll be yours forever. I went with the name Foucault, after the creator of the Foucault Pendulum (Léon Foucault). A simple and elegant way to not only showcase the Earth's rotation, but also your approximate latitudinal location too (because the time it takes to complete a full rotation is influenced by your distance from the poles).

Anyway, science stuff aside my duck friend is incredibly soft, and has little beans in the bottom half so they can sit upright without having to balance them! I love giving them hugs and seeing them every day when I get back from work. Being that they are a tall and thin duck, I find them pretty difficult to photograph. Hopefully this side shot of them laying in bed is enough to showcase their cuteness!

A spider I happened to notice a while back while out and about. Its markings and size caught my eye, as it was very different from the spiders I typically see around here. I doubt they are rare, but it was new to me and I wanted to get a close up picture. It might not look particularly close, but it's a phone camera with no optical zoom. I was only a couple of inches from the subject and didn't want to disturb them.

 

She's gone fishin', and here's the big catch of the day! Sure she could just jump in and grab one, but kicking back with the ol' line is much more relaxing.

Went with lined subject and line-less background elements. I've seen it before in media and am considering doing it more in the future, kinda draws more attention to the character(s).

 

I'm still on the fence now!

 

In the fridge today to cool off a bit, here are my two plushie friends! Why two? Well let me tell you the story of how I got each:

I was shown this web series by the same name a while back by a friend and quite liked it, so when I eventually found out they made plushies of Chikn, I wanted one quite badly. Unfortunately, by the time I found out, they were already gone. I ended up waiting a few months, but after just figuring they were never coming back, I went to various websites and found a whole mountain of bootlegs. I figured what the heck, he looks a little silly but I will love him all the same!

Quite a few months passed after I got the first one and I ended up hearing that the original plushies were coming back too. So what did I do? I got another plushie of course as soon as I could! Now that I have both friends I kinda have the best of both worlds. The official plushie is one of the ones I handle sparingly and give little hugs, while the bootleg is one of my sleeping buddies!

 

Mono-spaced type has been all but removed from places on the internet, so it's no surprise larger scale ASCII art isn't common anymore. But have any of you made such stuff way back when, or perhaps more recently for nostalgic fun?

I made this at the end of 2022 when I realized Notepad++ was mono-spaced by default, and wanted to try creating my sona. Text is an interesting medium to work with, it reminds me of pixel art in a way due to the constraints. That and for the first time in my life I found a use for the insert key, absolutely amazing.
