    Didn't want to upload that same image from Reddit's furry_irl that gets posted each year, so I made my own. This is the only day this post will be accurate. Have a great 6/21 everyone!

    A pixel art rendition of Esix, the mascot of E621, a website that hosts and tags furry art which is often explicit. Esix is an anthro feline like creature who has a literal hexagon for a face, a blue body, white ears with yellow tips, and yellow fingers. Portions of them, such as the fingers and ears, float above the body unconnected.

    The top of the image has text which says It's June 21st, where June is in a yellow ribbon styled rectangle, denoting the month portion of a simple calendar. The 21 is in a white square box under it, like a daily calendar you'd rip the page off of.

    The bottom of the image has Esix looking directly at the viewer with partially closed eyes and a big smile. Their right (your left) hand is pointing upward at the date. Their opposite side has Esix's yellow flame tail visible.

    This date is relevant because with dating methods which use Month/Day/Year or Year/Month/Day, it makes the number 6 21, which is the number for E621. It is mentioned in furry circles when it comes around each year.

    The background is darker blue, with a series of even darker hexagon rings that form a hexagon in the center. There is a dotted white outline which runs across the entire border of the image.

    Choose Wisely [OC]

    I think I made the right choice, I've heard people are dying to get into these places after all.

    An idea exaggerated from 100 too many crises and no more spoons. Doing what you can, and focusing on what you can control is enough.

    Alt Text (Accessibility)

    A four panel comic which uses exaggerated postures and colorful backdrops. The delivery should be read sarcastically.

    The first panel shows a disgruntled anthro mouse with brown fur, and light pink ears, hands, and tail. He's wearing a gray flat cap and a near black vest, which is opened to show a cream colored body. He's standing in a profile view, but with his hands holding a cocktail toothpick between his fingers, and his left (your right) arm is foreshortened towards you. The toothpick is also coming at you, with a sharp point and a sparkle at the end. There is text which says "We've reached an impasse. This is not sustainable!" This is in front is a purple background with a tunneling spiral of darker purple lines.

    Second panel is the same mouse, but now with both arms raised above his head, both hands clasping his now vertical toothpick. His head is looking straight up, making only his screaming mouth visible. On the left is text which says "We either FIGHT" with a sword graphic on top, and "Or we DIE" with a skull graphic on the right. Left is alternating yellows, right is reds.

    Third panel is an anthro fox, Foxfire, who has reddish-brown fur, dark gray paws, and cream muzzle, chest, and tail tip. He has an overly excited expression, eyes replaced with sparkles and mouth agape. He says "You mean...I get a CHOICE‽"

    The final panel is Foxfire's tombstone in a cemetery. It reads "RIP Foxfire - THANK GOD!" There is a smiling sun to further empathize the absurdity.

  • Looks like Bog has some pretty good compression rates! How does it compare with other standards?

  • The 90's and 2000's hit different.
  • There was a strategy to it! Instead of dropping coin down every last blade, little kid me aligned the machine a particular way so the coin would drop all the way down to the second to last blade. Then I would nudge the coin to the edge, then twist and suddenly stop to give it enough force to not just fall straight down, but also not enough to fling it past the final blade. I'd say I won around half the time, and intentionally only did it once every so often to not arise suspicion you could game it well. I was sad when my 25 cent burritos were taken away for good after this machine left, ah well.

  • I found a beautiful alternative to MusicBee (audio manager & player)!
  • From those screenshots it does look quite nice! Visible ratings while scrolling albums is huge for me and I miss it. I migrated everything over to Strawberry from MusicBee this year because I only want FOSS, and Tauon appears to be GPL licenced! Strawberry absolutely works, but it still feels more like a settle. Gotta give this a try and see how it feels, thanks for the info!

    I'm quite happy with my pixel art rendition of Foxfire this time around. He looks so excited!

    Alt Text (Accessibility)

    A lineless pixel art rendition of Foxfire, an anthro fox with reddish-brown fur, a cream muzzle, chest tuff, and tail tip, and dark gray hand and foot paws. He is standing, has a big open mouth smile, and is gesturing his right (your left) hand-paw at a golden picture frame. Within the frame is a textured white canvas, which has a rendition of a rubber duck on the surface of water, with a purple twilight sky above. This scene is shown within a large paint spatter, which sprawls from the center of the canvas and outward vertically.

    Foxfire is standing in an otherwise empty, dark, de-saturated purple room, with a gray-purple floor. The top of the image has a textbox in this same floor color which says: BEHOLD...A DUCK!

    Breezy Weather: An open-source, privacy-friendly Android weather app forked from the now-unmaintained Geometric Weather
  • Glad I saw this post today, downloaded and love it straight away! So clean and exactly what I wanted out of a FOSS weather app.

  • It's the 1st of April! Did you do or get an April's Fool? What was it?
  • Haven't seen much today unfortunately, hoping that changes. I made a very short pixel art skit for today and posted it in a few places. April snuck up on me once again, so I'm glad I got anything up this time.

    Why am I? [OC]

    A bit of an existential grayscale drawing I created while testing out some of the various default paint and ink brushes in Krita. I never chose to be, yet I am. Why am I?

    Alt Text (Accessibility)

    A grayscale digital art piece depicting a rock-face upon a beachfront, cast in a night sky. Near the horizon, a ship can be seen to the bottom left, along with a lighthouse close to the center guiding it.

    Standing upon the rock-face is an ambiguous feminine presenting canine anthro, with long hair and a one piece dress, their tail buttoned through it, looking outward towards the sky. The lower half of the night is colored in a dotted half-tone, where the dots fade into total blackness around halfway up the image. Within the pure black rests several crude star shapes, along with a cartoon styled crescent moon, worn and heavily textured.

    The upper center of the image has large and stressed white text which reads: Why...AM I?

    My son asked to go get shawarma at the mall food court yesterday.
  • With all that food for thought, your son might be full before getting to the food court!

  • Nowhere (art by myself)
  • Nice night scene! I appreciate the detail you put into the suv and its lighting, really makes me feel like they're the only one around for a long while.

  • Excruciating

  • Glad my translation of the window was on point then! This was made in Krita, a FOSS art program. I actually made it under a size and color constriction to be recreated as a Mario Maker 2 comment, which I ended up doing a week later.

  • Or even better, if that prevents you from falling back asleep and now you're half-awake when your alarm would actually go off. Lousy REM sleep cycles...

    Butterfly among the leaves

    Now that winter is starting up where I am, I wanna show my favorite image I took over the summer. I caught a butterfly on some leaves, and was able to get suprisingly close for this picture! You can even see the little hairs that transition from the wings to the body. I never really think of a butterfly as having any sort of fluff, but I suppose they do...at least a little!

    Showing off my Discord figurine (with some flare!)

    I was gifted this wonderful version of Discord sitting on a throne for Christmas! I had no idea this even existed, he's huge and I love his dynamic posing!

    Figured instead of a simple picture I'd do something a little more wacky, so here's a few second video with some impossible lighting and a moody sign to set the scene!

    Kicks' Birthday Drawing (OC)

    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.

    A funnel web and its resident

    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!

    A beetle resting on a shopping cart

    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!

    Super close up of a grasshopper on metal

    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.
