Remembering What Past Versions Of Onyx Looked And Acted Like… So I Wrote Them Down

I got something!! Yay! Here y’all go!

Happy International Asexuality Day my guys, gals, and non-binary pals!

🖤🩶🤍💜

HOW DID I NOT KNOW THAT INTERNATIONAL ASEXUALITY DAY WAS TODAY?!?

Drew this last year. Here you go. This was supposed to be a profile pic for one of my accounts. I’ll try to draw something better to add to this, but this was all I had right now.

Experimenting with which way I want to do this…I have 8 different ways I did this.

mushroom #1:

draw

shade

outline

paint (gouache)

couldn’t decide which lighting I liked better…so have both! (There will be two pictures with slightly different lighting for the rest of the mushrooms as well)

💜

y’all, I wanna start reading (and potentially start writing) fanfics

But I don’t know where to start. I have an Ao3 account now, but I’d like to hear some suggestions for fics to read!

Fandoms I’m in:

1. Sonic the Hedgehog

2. Marvel Cinematic Universe

3. Percy Jackson (it’s been a while since I’ve read the books, but whatever—I’d be up for reading some fic about Nico being happy with his boyfriend or getting closure with his sister or something)

…just had an idea for a fic I could write.

I need to get on that shit.

Anyway, if y’all have any suggestions, please let me know!

>(Imaginary bonus points if it’s a really niche, underrated fic! I wanna support other small artists and writers!)<

Reblogging because I’ve gotten comments like this on my blog before. I’ve gone through and blocked all comments like this already.

It’s good to stay aware of these types of things.

Hey guys let me tell you about advance fee scams

I hope y'all are familiar with these in this day and age, especially my artists out there, because they're incredibly common.

About half an hour ago I posted a drawing and tagged it #artists on tumblr, and very quickly received this comment.

My scam radar went off immediately, due to the generic blog name and lack of any emotion in the comment, but I decided it might be an entertaining venture so I dmed them. They asked for a drawing "of these", and sent me a random selfie. I got the details and told them it would be $15, and they promptly offered me $300. At this point I know it's a scam, but I play along for funsies and give them my paypal. Shortly, they send me this image for "confirmation" (I blocked out my email)

And they began to insist that I checked my email. I looked in my spam folder and found the following email.

This is fake. This is not a thing. And the "you're to refund the $200.00 back" is the scam. They send vaguely official-looking emails at you to "prove" that they sent you the money, then have you send them $200 (or however much the scam is for). Then, surprise surprise, you're out $200.

I continued to play along for a bit, and in the second email "Paypal" told me that I had to refund the $200 before they could "credit the $300 to my account", along with these lovely threats.

And yeah, it's silly. But it's not silly if you don't know and get scammed. So. Spread, please! And thank you very much to @mlaurel for the opportunity to get these screenshots.

Just realized I colored her in wrong 😭

Fixed it, though.

drawing Onyx again ✨

The only difference is that the one on the right is at 175% zoom instead of only 100% zoom.

How much would anyone bet that this guy failed biology classes? I know (as someone who just finished a biology class), off the top of my head, there’s:

XX

XY

XXX

XXXX

XYY

XXY

XXYY

And I’m sure there’s more that I forgot. (Please tell me if I got any of them wrong.)

Education is important, y’all. (Again, please tell me if I got any of them wrong or if I’m forgetting any.)

Also, that other representative should’ve corrected him loudly. Let everyone else with only half a braincell know that he was spouting bullshit.

mushroom doodles from this week

Drew these all with the same pen. Got a lot better at shading with a pen over the time I drew these all.

Time to go leave comments on fanfics and lose my mind (positive) writing comments on people’s art.

People used to comment on web comics.

People used to comment on fanfiction.

People used to comment on fanart.

People used to comment on OCs.

I hate "content" culture.

I hate "consuming content" and scrolling immediately to the next thing.

People used to be excited about the art that other people created.

People used to want to share that excitement with creators.

I hate this future.
