Gracious Anthracite @anthracite@dragon.style

Today I was out walking
when I had a brief flash
and saw the people I was passing
as collections of cells gathered together into muscles
pulling against the bones that they grew for some cells to live inside
slithering against each other like a bucket of live eels

And it was kind of beautiful.

Is it #introduction time again? Sorta seems to be. I'd boost the old one but it's a little out of date.

Hi, I'm Peggy, and I run dragon.style. If "maintaining a Patreon to pay the hosting, putting off updating it for a year, and occasionally opening the place up for new users" qualifies as "running" it.

I am a trans lady who spends most of her time drawing complicated sci-fi comics and sort of earning a living doing that via Patreon.

Adobe Illustrator has been my main medium since 2000, it's a pretty unusual choice but it works for me.

I used to do burlesque, then pole dance, as a hobby and a way to stay fit. I miss it and should find something similar again.

You may know me from elsewhere as Egypt Urnash.

Tonight I realized just how stressed out I am by this whole pandemic thing. And am now very glad I moved to New Orleans before it happened. If I was still in Seattle, facing down another sunless winter, with the pandemic on top of that, I would be an utter wreck.

I am on the next to last story mission of Control (judging by the achievement list) and I do not want to tackle that again, but I have also determined that all the side missions available to me are also not fun, so I guess I put it down for a while. See you later, Psychic Control Lady.

pizza time is soon

Huzzah, I have perpetrated an early voting in the local runoffs! I am a good member of the polis.

well, time to go do early voting for the local runoff elections

basically I am going down all of Antigravity's recommendations, none of these runoffs are at all exciting, and saying no to a proposition that will drain funds from the libraries

https://egypt.urnash.com/rozztox/

okay so I got out of bed and dig around in Evernote for my lists of Shit I Would Like (no longer a thing I can do on the ipad because the new version of EN is a slow-ass piece of Electron trash that I cannot downgrade from) and I found some books. And remembered that I kinda wanted a Wacom airbrush stylus but have never wanted it enough to actually drop a hundred bucks of my own money on one.

The SO is asking me what I want from their mother for Christmas and I have no fucking idea at all. All I want is no cats living in the apartment and no stupid pandemic made worse by a stupid president.

“Can I ask her to donate to a charity in my name” “No”

Have you scritched a dragon today?

Huzzah, I got a decent chunk of work done today. A sketch on one commission, a file set up for another, some progress on a third, and a fourth got finished.

Would it be weird if my commission prices had an official markup for “x-rated action”? Like, I will draw people fucking but it will cost about this much more?

Sugarfoot must be about done with this batch of kittens. She is going into heat. She and her kittens are definitely riding the bus to spaytown really soon.

I am never gonna be able to look at a picture of a horny cat furry the same after this.

You know that thing where you start to type out a reply to something online, then delete it because either you just don’t wanna have this conversation with a stranger, or feel like you can’t get the right tone with a friend/acquaintance?

I have been doing that a TON today.

It’s kind of scary how good @zebratron2084 and I have gotten at resolving our arguments,

it's raining off and on outside

and I am drawing furry porn in sporadic bursts of work

and this isn't too bad, I should probably hit up the store for a couple things though

Mekka Lekka Hi, Mekka Chonny-Ho: An Investigation Into The Ritual Use Of Jambi The Genie, And His Ancient Assyrian Roots

update: I used some of the sixty thousand disposable plastic gloves @zebratron2084's mom got for us around the start to the pandemic so I could pick up the remaining stump-o-trump and start scrubbing.

Halfway through the job, the handle-stub broke in half again.

I am just gonna be sitting here waiting for some Trump News now because this sure feels like the first half of a Coincidence.

Me, picking up the novelty toilet brush shaped like Donald Trump: Okay, Donny, time to do your job!

As soon as I applied pressure, this happened. Yep, that’s a job done with all the finesse and elegance I expect from the Trump name!

Every AAA video game: Hey you know what’s fun? UPGRADING YOUR WEAPONS!

Me: ugh oh god whyyyy

but I also walked around a lot more than I was intending to due to realizing my mask seemed to have vanished from my bag/pocket when I was almost at the cafe; the bike is in the shop so everything feels about 200% further away...

I got a bit of progress on some commissions at least, did half the basic colors for one, did a couple roughs for another, put the refs and brief in a new file for another. So that's something. Wish I'd managed to really get a solid run of work done but I just couldn't focus on one thing today. Better luck tomorrow I guess.

I should probably build the Kitten Speed Bump for the door between the kitten room and the bedroom when we get home, too. Herding kittens in the middle of last night can't have helped my energy levels today.
