Hoping so yessssss
very direct evidence that video game piracy is important in the preservation of video games

... I actually had to look this up because I only know what (land) slugs do ๐
Oh I completely agree, some people are waaaaaay too obsessed with 'what's in your pants' :')
100% yes
Even gnolls aren't safe from 'but what's in your pants' ๐
People really are obsessed with that yeen pseudo peen and considering I made my ladies big and beefy there's usually one comment out there :')
I *could* do some typical shit that fantasy writers just loooove to do and say that this makes children and mothers even more special but you know what I prefer? No painful births and death. Additionally the internal plumbing organs wise would be questionable for a bipedal creature.
In case you hadn't seen me answer this before. No I do not give the gnolls in my world building pseudo penises and there's a very simple reasoning behind it: Child birth is extremely painful and comes with a super high mortality rate for pups and mother both. I don't care to include that.
I also think gnoll pups are born with their teeth already emerged, so pour one out for the mums.
Yippee!
things I have learnt after hours of screaming at myself for not being able to doodle a baby gnoll I vibed with: it's not you, baby hyenas do not look like hyenas but like scrunched up bear cubs mixed with a pine marten
I like to think that baby gnolls are also born with a solid dark coat ;A;
It's insanely frustrating that this is how Steam decided to implement this with no alternatives.
I have a debit card but they're not accepted as kids as young as 16 can get those over in the UK ๐ They don't actually check your details with the bank.
We applied for ConFuzzled lmfao time to make a blood sacrifice to rngesus to get good lottery results

Finally got these for my Furfrou masterset. I originally said I wasn't going to do it but then the brainworms won.
It really *really* does. I don't have the trial and error brainworms to properly get into it, but I enjoy sometimes playing it myself (and then decide just watching other people play it is a much, much healthier choice for me ๐)
I think it's a pretty cute way in terms of presentation, certainly for kids ๐ Perhaps the stuff I had was not as good as it could have been - the edges tasted almost 'frosty'? But I'm someone who will happily put salty liquorice sauce on my ice cream, I fully accept I'm a weirdo!
Meanwhile I'm a fan of pineapple on pizza and simply accept that's also not for everyone bwahaha.
It's just not for me but that doesn't mean others can't enjoy it! I absolute loathe the texture of ice cream and the way it melts when presented like this plus I'm not a fan of copious amounts of sweet sauce on ice cream.
Bwahaha I have had ice cream like this - had simply forgotten I'd had it - and for me I just hate the texture of it which I know sounds strange, but it *does* feel different when putting the spoon in/the way it melts/the initial mouth feel (and I'm not a fan of copious amounts of sauce).
I loathe everything about this - the texture, the amount of sauce... why do you insist on ruining perfectly good ice cream doing *this*
This... this right here ๐
depression resistance ๐๐๐ heat resistance ๐๐๐
(also I'm a big baby when it comes to Fear and Hunger, do not talk to me about your runs I do not know how to play this game properly, sometimes I just go through a phase where I hate myself and then I either play this or Darkest Dungeon)
Steam really didn't bother even remotely engaging their brain when rolling this update out. Absolute 0 effort put into the compliance ๐
Last thing I'll say, but I just think it's REALLY fucking funny that I can't visit the store page due to the age verification nonsense while the banner for the game in my library is still like: PEEN TIME THO
reminder that MasterCard and VISA are very okay with processing payments for guns and bullets, just not a video game where two fictional people fuck.
They have to abide by UK law (which is a load of shit to begin with) but their way of approaching it with no alternatives is the thing I'm most pissed off about right now.
I feel ya... Considering PayPal requires you to be 18+ it's an extra kick in the teeth. I've also always used PayPal (because catch me wanting to leave payment details in the store, that's ripe for abuse)
I don't. Thankfully the girlfriend does have a credit card, so we'll just upgrade her account to the 'mature account' while Steam gets yelled at because it's not that common for people to have a credit card in the UK.
Oh it continues to get better. Games marked as 18+ because of violence? Fine! Games marked as 18+ due to tiddy and maybe other nudity? BANNED.
Awwww thank you <3 it's alright though! I mostly play baby games so I should be okay! (and the rest can go on the gf's account, who does have a CC!) I'm curious now though... what games do you play?
I feel this big time. I recently bought a citizenship card because my only form of ID is my passport...
It accepted my Visa debit card but then was like :) no, sorry :) no adult content for you :) you stupid 38 years old baby :)
It gets even better: anyone in my steam family can still download and install this game via my account, even if they're not age verified.
Clarification: I can still play the game but I can't see the store page. Also I'm unsure if it'd allow me to reinstall it - not willing to fuck around and find out right now. I'm legit so angry about this bullshit.
I can still boot it but I can't access any of the store pages/community pages :)
I AM GETTING LOCKED OUT OF GAMES I FUCKING OWN, OH MY GOD
lmfao yep never mind, they're not offering any other way to verify I'm an adult, this is actually so fucking stupid I can't even
YEAH I was gonna say - I use PayPal for everything which requires 18+ so this is so fucking stupid.
Like, hello, what the actual fuck is this shit?! Many folks don't have a credit card so what now, we're just getting locked out because we couldn't get a credit card for whatever reason?!
Bitch, I don't even have a fucking credit card.
Only 5 days remains before they are gone forever so I took a video and you can see how they look like irl! Can it reach 100% untill the end? I really don't know ... but I hope ^^
Yippee!
'Dee, you should have planned the background before you started on this' LEAVE ME ALOOOONE
I know I'll get faster the more I practice but right now I'm still in snail pace stage and I'm going insane
Alright, weโre getting somewhere (figured Iโd ink the two spotted gnolls so they can also be used as standalone pieces)
The dogbold crew so far!
This* bah. I actually feel more awake than I do during the day ๐ well, fuck me I guess.
Didn't think I still had it in me to stay up thus late, but apparently I do. Got everything I wanted... I hope!
Aardgnolls are notoriously picky eaters with a diet that primarily consists out of insects and eggs. Their favourite source of food are giant termite larvae and for this reason they are known to keep giant terminates around their villages, sometimes even training the adults for combat.
Not to go sappy for a moment but the loss of my income due to the tariffs has been properly frightening and I never expected to be this blessed to have so many people support me through my art - I'm more grateful than I can ever express.
It's the first time in 4 years that I have been able to work on artwork while allowing myself to do research, challenge myself and accept failure and it's because of some crazy people who were like 'hey, here's some money, go draw what you want' along with everyone who's been buying my adopts lately
The sole reason I can go this ham on this art as a slow artist is because of a very generous benefactor who is paying me to draw all these gnolls and allowing me to share them with all of you.

Oh my god thank you so much! I absolutely hate colouring, so for me this is just doing the fun part then dipping out, best of both worlds (except I will also be colouring this because I need to challenge myself ๐)
What am I even supposed to do with this, my dumb idiot kobold engineer?
For me this year was hit after hit with each reveal but I have to be strong and only buy things I actually need/don't have ๐
I'm a big tamagotchi fan so they came right for my throat with that release - I'm hoping to grab the stappo most of all๐ I also absolutely love all the Colour covers this year (thankfully I don't need any covers myself because I also *love* the Moomin ones)
Sorry got distracted, back on it now ๐ Also for those wondering I will be making these available as downloadable colouring pages once Iโm done.
I slept for 9 hours last night which is insanely abnormal for me (this keeps happening, I'm used to 6 hours) so who knows, maybe this is better for me.
Alright, gonna stay awake for the hobonichi drop tonight because I'm insane. Then I'll disassociate all day (read: pack orders) and prepare for the CFz application stress in the evening.

Aardgnolls are nocturnal so you damn better bet them giving up their eepy time is for a good reason (like cheering on your big buff girlfriend during a hunt)
Just so you know how my brain goes 5 seconds into starting to ink this piece: they're girlfriends
Okay, okay, Iโm doing it, Iโm inking.
I am, doing, so much research... BUT NO DRAWING. Ask me to do world building and I will spend *so* much time just... dicking around with research of which maybe 1% will go into my work.
Furries, I need your help. Temg, a childhood terminal cancer fighter, needs you now more than ever. He wanted to quit fighting until Furrydelphia and MakeAWish got him to his first con. Afterwards he told his parents he wants to continue fighting.

The joy of not knowing what the pathfinder lore did exactly except for the very surface stuff ๐
Also oh god I think I forgot to reply but to the people who said they're taking notes of my gnoll stuff for their world building PLEASE DO, TAKE IT. If any of the stuff I ramble about helps your campaign use it, biggest compliment.
Because of their picky diet theyโre not known to travel far from home. This said, if you ever have an aardgnoll in your party donโt feel insulted if they bring their own food. They would never expect anyone to make special accommodations for them.

Bwahaha don't worry - I did indeed decide to throw some loong inspo in there on purpose. I've designed more lizard based loong kobolds before so I couldn't resist using a long dog for a long dogbold.
Bandai don't do this to me, don't make me need to buy another Paradise/make a trip to London PLS
Last day of the sales!
Logging on to Bluesky.
They're not on my list *yet* but I'm absolutely considering it!

If you're like: hey, Eltha, could you design me a custom one? I absolutely can, just DM me with the dog breed you'd like/the dog you'd like me to base it on and I'll give you a quote. Custom ones start at 40 GBP.
I was so happy when the commissioner asked me to design one!!
The dogbold crew so far!
I cannot overstate just how awful this stupid fucking bill proposal is - adding backdoors into encryption on OS level - "sniff" every single message before it gets encrypted AND SAVE IT CENTRALLY - let a goddamn hallucinating "AI" mark people as criminals it needs to be stopped, post haste
