  • *Busy trying to beat Contra after beating Super C for the first time last year*

    Me: ...Huh? What? Inkblot came back? When did that happen?!

    I guess this means this page has a lot of catching up to do! Hopefully I can get it up smoothly.

  • ORIGINAL TITLE: Ready for the battles ahead.

    EXTRA RENDERS, EARLY ACCESS, TIMELAPSE AND FULL RESOLUTION ON SUPPORT PAGES

    This thing. This stupid thing. It was a beast to make, an actual, terrifying nightmare.
    The background was a pain to do, the main pose was a pain to do, the 6 other characters were a pain to do, existing was a pain to do (still is), but I saw it through the end!

    This was a commission for the same discord friend as our latest uploaded! He wanted his human pokemon trainer Tag in a pose, ready to go, with all of his team surrounding him. When he said "I want 7 characters for this commission!" I felt the chillest cold that I've ever felt. Of course I said "You got it, boss!" and then spent the next 11 hours of work (Which of course were 90% on the shading) and finally getting it done!

    Done entirely in Krita with no 3D posing! Enjoy, ya weird salamanders!

  • Ngl it's been a week since the 2.0 release and I'm disappointed to see there still hasn't been a single CLEAR improvement in sight.
    Idk if the team is still as small as it was before but like. I have to sadly agree with some criticism I've seen on the main page.

    It's sad to see that a new version of the website was pushed out when it clearly isn't functional, and I'm wondering why the staff decided to revamp it into looking like a mashup of other social media websites like FB and Twt. Reactions?? Rlly??

    Why am I still not able to upload a banner and why did it make an independent post the one time it seemed to work? Why did it delete the banner when I tried to hide my post from my timeline???
    Why is there a 'followers' tab before my gallery (that's not even called gallery) and why do I have to click a button to see past 6 previews of the most recently posted art? Is this not a website dedicated to art and creative stuff? Why does it not show my gallery proper?
    Is the activity so damn low on the website rn that it keeps looping to the same things I've been seeing for the past 7 days? Or have people been posting and I don't see anything?
    And why is it that some users seem to be fine with uploading stuff and others aren't?

    Maybe I'm just ignorant about the current situation or what the staff is up to but I would've sincerely preferred to wait longer than to face the excitement of a new version, only to immediately eat disappointment. I've always loved the initiative they had in creating a safe space for artists given how most platforms are going to sh!t, but idk man.

    In any case, I'm going back to my corner on twt, IG and bsky lol. I shall be waiting for news but will stop checking every 2 days if I can upload a banner or simple image

  • ORIGINAL TITLE: Breaking the Game.

    ALTERNATE RENDERS, TIMELAPSE AND FULL RESOLUTION EARLY IN SUPPORT PAGES!

    Hey! Been busy with some things IRL. Working on some commissions and trying to get my life on track after a long hiatus and a dark period of my life, like many that have been happening lately....

    But now back to commissions! This one is for a discord friend of his character Break the Mewtwo, except now he's Sigma from Overwatch! I have never played Overwatch and have no idea if there's a canon reason for his character choice, maybe someone will know!
    This took way longer than It was supposed to...It took like 7 hours of work (but felt like an eternity).

    Done entirely in Krita with zero 3D posing!
    Enjoy, ya weird salamanders!

  • Flying back to the airship that was basically a yacht, she landed on the deck with Eri and Ravi. “My darlings, did you miss me?”

    Eri looked at Annaerlitha, sensing she was hiding something. “What do they have that you want so much, Naerli?”

    “Some things are best left unsaid about them and their private little villa,” Annaerlitha replied. “I’m sure our friend Comandante Luis is enjoying his stay as much as I did last time I was there.”

    “As a guest?” Eri asked with some concern in his voice.

    “More or less, it was from an invitation by my dear uncle Frabritheo.”

    “From him? I never liked the bastard,” Ravi interjected.

    “You think he’ll enjoy being stuffed in the cargo hold?” Eri mused, as a bloody ichor burst from his left hand congealing into a pair of twisted strands that tightened till it solidified into the form of a rapier with a red blade.

    “I’ll make sure he’ll have a pleasant stay with us.”

    Eri and Ravi watched as she flew close to the ground. As Annaerlitha approached the entrance to the villa, Eri tore open a shadowy rift with his blade bringing Ravi through with him.

    Ravi prepared with shield forward and his tulwar in at the ready as he walked through the rift, spotted about eight soldiers scrambling around the grounds readying their muskets.

    Annaerlitha flew over the wall of villa’s grounds, casting one of her more powerful spells. With an incantation and a circular cut of her athame, she invoked a blast of elemental cold freezing those same eight soldiers.

    One of them was not completely frozen, so Eri quickly unleashed two bolts of eldritch energy as he emerged from the rift. Eri guessed that a Dwarf armed with a pistol and a battleaxe was the Comandante’s bodyguard.

    Ravi hissed and ejected a stream of venom at a soldier not caught in Annaerlitha’s spell. Eri lunged through one soldier with green flames around his blade while Annaerlitha dispatched another with a ray of frost.

    Left standing in the aftermath was Comandante Luis, an Orc armed with a sabre and a revolver, and his Dwarven body guard.

    Ravi charged at the bodyguard taking a few swings at the Dwarf who parried each blow with his axe. The bodyguard countered Ravi’s next exchange making a superficial cut on his sword arm. The two fought as Luis tried to take some shots at Annaerlithai and Eri.

    Eri vanished in a cloud of black smoke, reappearing behind the Dwarf with his blade embedded. Ravi finished off the bodyguard, as spectral vipers coiled around his Tulwar’s blade.

    Annaerlitha invoked the power of nightmares that tore at Luis as he panicked. Luis tried to run away, but Ravi called upon the powers from his oath to the Naga Kings to summon spectral snakes to bind the Comandante.

    “Please stop! I surrender!” Comandante Luis screamed.

    “That’s the smart thing to do my dear Luis,” Annaerlitha smiled as she approached.

  • This time I tried to construct more of a scene ahead of time. I’m still trying to get there with backgrounds. This one of the SFW part of my cycle, is of Frelly and Qian together as one of the many couples I might draw.

    ***********************

    Frelly and Qian stood together in the docks of the Floating Archipelago, a city scattered among sky islands in a relatively calm border region in the Plane of Air. The city connected to a few other worlds across the planes, where the Tiefling couple were among some of the visitors that walked its streets. Perhaps what was most appealing about the Floating Archipelago was that it had a warm and mild climate, unlike the storms and constant hurricanes found in many other places across the Plane of Air.

    “We’re catching this ferry to the Janni Island,” Frelly said as she held on to Qian’s arm as the a ramp unfolded down onto the ferry that just docked.

    “What are we doing with a bunch of Air Genasi?” Qian asked hesitantly, as he stepped on to the ramp.

    “To see the Wind Dancers in action, and to find ourselves a good airship captain for the other part of the journey.”

    “That might be a bit difficult, as I got myself in some trouble the last time I was here with Kess and Thames.” Qian pondered for a moment about what the implications might be. “Let’s say we didn’t leave the best impression with the Cloud Kings, the gang that rules that part of town.”

    “Were you being a little fecker about it?”

    “Just a bit, I’m pretty sure they won’t try to shoot us on sight at least.”

    “And to think this was going to be a boring trip, but I don’t think it was only you.”

    “You're right about that, it wasn’t completely about me. It was more about these two girls, twins, that I shagged, who happened to be the daughters of a big Cloud King boss. And I somehow got into a fight with a bunch of Cloud Kings when they walked in on us.” Qian looked at Frelly, as she spread her wings and glared at him, looking like she was ready to pounce.

    “Oh for ****’s sake! Am I going to have to give you spanking later on?”

    “Maybe, I just hope there aren’t any other surprises. Kess and Thames also got in some fights with the Cloud Kings too.”

    “This might be a long ferry ride, me love,” as Frelly took a seat on the main deck of the ferry.

    “Enough of that, we’re still on vacation, let’s enjoy the view.”

    Frelly kissed Qian on the lips, “Whatever would I do without you? You need to show me what you did with those girls, as I think there’s still a spanking you still need to get.”

  • NGL after 4 years it looks like a combination of Twitter and Facebook. I thought it was gonna be like old DA and more suited for artists? There’s no gallery, just a photo page like Facebook. The more I explore this site the more I’m turned off by it.

    What happened and why?

    I liked the other layout better.

    For comparison: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWg1_XEEOK4

  • Oh god... What even happened here? We went from an art site to a facebook clone?

    All my artwork is out of order, my page doesn't even feel like an art site gallery, the front page is just another scrolling timeline where everything is massive and built with only mobile users in mind... I have to scroll endlessly to see any new artwork, hidden among people's status posts...

    No way to browse just artwork outside of tags. No way to see a tile of recently uploaded artwork. At least as far as I can tell. Clicking on trending tags brings me to yet another timeline scroll, which isn't even centered on desktop. It's aligned to the left with a lot of dead space on the right that is just... empty.

    Yeah no. This website is not for me. This isn't an art site. ("Photos" instead of "Gallery"???) It's yet another generic social media clone. Sorry, but that's not what I'm interested in. I don't know why there's such a push for every new site having a mobile-centric UI, even on desktop, designed to keep you scrolling forever on your phone. It is *so clunky* to use on desktop. It's so easy to miss new art uploads, because you can't view thumbnails on a grid. Discoverability becomes tied to how often people share your pieces around.

    I'm just tired, man. Maybe I'm just getting old and exhausted from trying out so many new "art sites". The way artwork is displayed and discovered is one of the most important things to me. I want to be able to open the front page, and see a grid of new artwork, where I can select multiple tabs to open and browse at my leisure. I want my profile to have my art be the focus. I don't need everything to try to function like bluesky or twitter, and if this is the direction inkblot is going to go, then well... I don't think I'll be giving it another chance.

    So if anyone who happened to follow me here (I can see my follower count got wiped anyway) wants to see what sort of art I'm doing now, please check out any of my other social links here:

    https://runicillusionist.carrd.co/

    I hope for those of you who do intend on staying that this site serves your needs better than mine. But for me, I'm out.
