Tigers are one of my favorites ever to draw. Perfect creatures.

[avics-animosity]

Which one's your favorite?

We love a tiger in this house

Y'know I liked the old one for a long time, but now that I've got a better one with more thought put into it, it looks really rough

Pride flag stickers! For Confuzzled!

Only the Rainbow and Trans ones will be for sale bc they're the broadest umbrellas that most people fit under, so there's something for most queer people to identify with in some way. If they sell really well then I'll have the confidence to make the more specific ones, but rn I doubt I'll break even

It feels so good to be so back

Which one's your favourite?

WE'RE SO BACK

Hey, look at me. Look at me. I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again: you need to condition yourself to being okay with being inconvenienced by things. The first time I spoke about this I meant it in a mental health way- it is good to go out to the store and see people versus just ordering alone at home- but there is another more pressing societal issue you should be more concerned about as well.

Any service you rely on for convenience can be weaponized against you the moment you begin to rely on it. Streaming used to be a cheap and convenient way to see movies at home. It is now exorbitantly expensive, you need multiple accounts just to get what you want, and any of those movies can be taken from you at any time. And unless you have gotten used to going through the “inconvenience” of owning physical media, you can do nothing about it. Same goes for buying things on Amazon. Same goes for any service like DoorDash etc. These companies WANT you to be reliant on them for convenience so they can do whatever they want to you because, well, what else are you gonna do?

Same thing goes for the uptick in AI. If you train yourself to become reliant on AI for doing basic things, you will be taken advantage of. It is only a matter of a couple years before there are no free AI services. Not only that, but in the usage of AI’s case, it is robbing you of valuable skills that you need to curate that you will be helpless without the moment the AI companies drive in the knife the way they have done with streaming. Delivery. Cable. Internet. Etc. It will happen to AI too. And if you are not practicing skills such as. Writing. You are not only going to be at the mercy of AI companies in the digital world, but you are going to be extremely easy to take advantage of in real life too.

I am begging you to let go of learned helplessness. I am begging you to stop letting these companies TEACH you helplessness. Do something like learn to pirate. It is way more inconvenient at the beginning, but once you know how, it is one less way companies can take advantage of you. Garden. Go to the thrift store (older clothes hold up better anyway). These things take more time and effort, yes, but using time and effort are muscles you need to stretch to keep yourself from being flattened under the weight of our capitalist hellscape.

Inconvenience yourself. Please. Start with only the ways you are able. Do a little bit at a time. But do something.

FAWNKILLER

Started this one waaay back in October, had loads of fun with the digital painting, then got to the grey furry/grassy bits and that shit was sooooo tedious to shade that this painting became a grating slog, hanging over me for months.

Just had to set a deadline in the end to force myself to do it or it never would have been done.

Another little sticker for Confuzzled.

My art has been developing quickly lately, I drew this a few months ago and already I feel like I'd do it differently now. It's chill tho, I still like this one

Hey bro, don't look now but that guy's totally staring at you

[avics-animosity]

Would you buy a b&w or red sticker? I always like bold black and white art the best, but I think most people like colourful stuff

[avics-animosity]

Would you buy this sticker?

I wanted to make some to sell at Confuzzled next May. One of my favourite character designs is my cait-sith inspired tiger, so I wanted to do her for one but I just can't decide if I like it.

It's definitely growing on me, but every time I draw her I feel like she doesn't look like a black tiger with white stripes, it just looks like I drew a tiger and inverted the lines
