Finally completed this first set of character explorations for Yatiuan "Speakers". You'll find speakers in every Network Relay Station, and their skills will vary depending on their line of studies. The most interesting ones are those who are able to communicate with base elementals to conjure magic via rhythms. For this set, I started with the initial idea of "solarpunk wizard" and I basically wanted to explore the full cycle of a speaker's educational career; From young students to mature interns and finally tenured speaker.

Sometimes life is scary and you feel existential. But if you focus on the little things everything feels OK for a little while.

I planted some tomato plants [right] back in late February and looking at how well they're doing fills me with a little joy. It took them a whole to grow but they've come so far and are doing so well.

I also planted some pumpkins [left] only a couple weeks ago and suddenly a couple have really started to shoot up too :)

Just in general watching plants grow feels really nice and sort of calming for some reason. But then another thing, all plants grow at their own pace - even those if the exact same species. They thrive in different environments and have different needs. You can apply that to people too. Everyone has different needs and grows at their own pace. Whether you're healing from trauma or mental illness, or trying to improve yourself after making loads of mistakes or realising you've been hurtful, or even if you're just developing a skill. You're going to grow at a different pace to everyone around you. You are exactly where you're meant to be and doing what you're meant to be doing. Sometimes things take time, and sometimes things happen quickly and you don't feel ready. You are going to be ok. You can't compare your own growth to others. You've got this

Tl;dr Yooo plants be going zoom at different paces let's go! Also remember you're doing amazing

(This is a very rambley post lol)

Found this as a WIP on my ipad and decided to finish it. The file was named "chrysanthemum" so I think I abandoned this painting in the middle of a flower-themed challenge haha. I'm gonna try to get back on my terrarium-robots. Anyway, Glaze and Nightshade are pretty cool~

new thing for new business cards: some lush future Africa, de colon1zed & self determined, where the great green wall has grown thick and steady & date palms & mango trees could maybe share canopies, adapting to the new weather patterns & all hope is not lost

(see more things from me via my newsletter, patreon, or bluesky)

So a while ago I commissioned @thefruitloop-chan to make a Solarpunk poster for anyone to use! And this beautiful piece was made!

This is a blank for people to put text on, and here’s the two text ones that I put over

Anyone can print them and put them up and around town! Especially since it’s Solarpunk Action Week! Thank you again Squid for making this beautiful artwork! Let’s make a better future together!
