This #dragon was partially inspired by Namielle from Monster Hunter World, but original one was much more psychedelic :blobcat_amused:
I didn't imagine this one as connected with water element, rather sky and wind and it probably wouldn't be capable of fast flying.

@jetlagjen @aral @f_spin @pivic got 6% for the same :blobCat_giggle:

@leavex in my family people with mental problems intensified by social media were harmed by it as already adults. So yes, ban toxicity-promoting designs instead of drawing arbitrary line where person is "mature enough" to deal with poison.

This one #drawing was inspired by resting place with bench near to the #pond, on my grandfather's yard - but it's not directly based on any real photos from this place. Rather my imagination, plus looking at random sky+water photos, trying to recreate that overall vibe.

Original pond has S-like shape, but currently it is wide like this in middle part, after years of stealing my parents' meadow behind their yard. For some reason wind and water movements promote erosion in that direction.

This rather impressive #bird is called Ruppell's Griffon #Vulture. I hope I draw it in a way to show how large it is irl :blobcatgiggle:

Sad illustration...
I had first vision for this after reading some chapters of "Permanent Record".

Because of my family I always had strange attitude to #hair.
When my sister was in preschool, mother started keeping her hair long. And at the same time often cut short mine. In early elementary school time everyone who saw us was impressed by her hair.
For young depressed kid I was, message was like "long hair is source of your worth and your family denies you this".

I wasn't even jealous of hair itself, rather positive attention, something severely lacking in my childhood. As slightly older child I tried to keep long hair just as means to win this strange emotional game. I didn't even have enough patience, both for waiting for hair growth and taking care of it. Max length I had was slightly below half of back, when I was 14/15. And periodically I had this urge to just cut these inconvenient hair chin- or ear-length.

At the end of university, when I no longer felt this "attention game" pressure, I learned to cut hair myself and kept them as short as I was able to cut manually. In 2022 I grew more irritated and decided to ask hairdresser for tomboy #haircut. And it had to be repeated periodically as short hair grow very visible way.

In last year most of time I fantasized about grabbing hair clipper and just shaving my head. Near the end of the year I finally started doing this.
And hell, why nobody told me how convenient it could be?! If I knew several years ago...

The most funny part: when I have literally few milimeters of hair, I already received more compliments than in my all my earlier life combined! Once I was compared to Sinead O'Connor... :blobCat_giggle:

I feel I don't understand people...

What I see, when someone writes "subtoot"...

And that's one of many reasons I love this community...

@Suiseiseki I did it for someone not tech-savvy who had Mint/MATE for several years and I didn't want to make more confusion. It turned out even slighty newer version has some differences in UI (thing non-tech people immediately notice).

Today I really did one of the most meme things... I downloaded Linux Mint #iso from #torrent :blobCat_giggle:

It's just recommended method linked on their official site.

This one is called purple finch. I really wanted to do it fully realistic but I feel something with its feathers is off... :/
I cannot always do things smooth and 3D enough, I see... Maybe real photos are often not very sharp with details?

Maybe now this is my most successful work...
This one is called Allen's Hummingbird 🐦⬛
I tried to do cartoon and stylized hummingbirds but finally wanted to make realistic one.

Facial expression of this #graffiti creature... I feel you, buddy...

@feld @b_rain I remember in my schools they push citing sources strongly on us. Now I wonder if this caused my current resistance to using LLMs because I simply can't tolerate unverified answers.

My message for #GlobalEncryptionDay... for every entity interested in #surveillance:
I will resist and it's my human right.
Encryption is not for bad actors only, it protects innocent people every day.
We are not criminals.

#Wolf portrait... or woolf as I had in filename (because of "woooooooo!") :blobcatfluffevil:
Some patterns, but more colours now. Concept changed during creating.
