Commissions are empty, so the art queue is prizes, turnarounds, monthly wallpaper, jewelry, & leathercrafts.

Health Emergency* cut my hours in half & doubled my bills, so eyes on my page go a long way to keeping us in our house right now. 💜

* Two months ago I ended up in the ER and I've beeen to five different doctors since (soon to be nine) to figure out what sent me there and how to, you know, NOT end up back there. Possible culprits are lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, cervical spine damage, liver or kidney disease, hormone imbalances, or iron deficiency anemia from not being able to process it properly becausse I'm supplementing but it's barely making a difference and I'm anemic symptom wise, just not blood panel wise. Two of the five doctors are dismissive and refuse testing and referrals because the symptoms don't fit their expertise so they can't help (and still won't refer), and only my cardiologist and gynecologist are doing anything. Which will. Likely involve surgery. That I can't afford time off for because I have no paid leave left XD But my uterus is definitely trying to kill me, we just don't know WHY because nothing is blatantly wrong with it visually it just. Is Evil. So it's a symptom, but the shenanigans are literally endangering my health so it's getting an eviction notice. (In the meantime, we might get foreclosed on, so who wants art?) Ko-fi Commissions starting at $25

I've been super busy with a full time job, a part-time job, and getting my digital art and jewelry shop up and running again.

But it hasn't been enough

We're thousands behind in medical and utility bills, and at risk of foreclosure and losing health insurance in April.

I'm looking for work, not charity, so please help me spread the word about commissions. They start at $25 for 2D and $50 for 3D! If I could get four scenes queued per week my blood pressure would breathe easy @.@

I am alive and productive!

More or less XD

January & February downloadable wallpapers are up in my shop! These are *free* at all membership levels.

The sledding Corgi is also a YCH! Want to swap in your character? Let me know!

Oh hey I'm seeing Miraculous stuff on bsky. Who all made it there? I spotted a few familiar faces but I MISS Y'ALL.

I'm way behind on the show and the writing muse is still MIA from when the SUV bent me and my car up.

BUT. I'm back at it with art and jewelry again. And trying to not be a hermit.

Come visit me? 🥺

So if anyone here is jumping ship, I'm EnberLight all over the place. I'm mostly on Bluesky and Discord but I also have a Pillowfort. If you're there come ping me!

Birthday week? Birthday week!

I know the chaos mews better than to add ferrets to the household, so I got my gnome-self a digital pair of ferret dragons instead!

...well, they crashed the rendering program at least ten times before staying still enough for this to work XD

This was exceptionally fun to work on 💜

I may have a soft spot for silvery blues, shiny things, and foxes. Here's "Lulu" for @kaithral.bsky.social as a volunteer gift art! I needed to flex my halloween muscles. Work got in the way a bit but it's still autumn!

Let me know if you'd like something like this! I specialize in fantasy art and monsters.

The Pumpkin Patch volunteer gifts are complete!

...I'm afraid Androm may have gone a little feral. I'm sure someone is around with the right cup Anthroform Tea? Sorry about that, @audes.bsky.social, someone spiked the cider. I should watch more carefully. -@enberlight November 12, 2023

What is this about the tumblr staff wanting to sell art data to midjourney?

An ex-colleague of mine mentioned yesterday that there may be contacts between Automattic and midjourney in that direction, but nothing is public yet and I don't have any more info. They probably won't have anything specific to share either, since they left the company weeks ago too. That being said:

I have no reason to doubt my ex-coworker word, they are a trustworthy person.

Tumblr's CEO has been absurdly enthusiastic (comically, even) about AI, and is a big fan of LLMs and 'AI' companies.

A deal with midjourney could solve tumblr financial issues (not the same company, but openAi is paying up to 5 million/year to news companies to use their content as training data... tumblr generates several orders of magnitude more content than any newspaper or any media company and it only would need a 20 to 30 million per year deal to be profitable)

So I don't have any extra info yet, but I'm keeping my ears open.

Animation techniques and effects from the classic era. For more vintage movie geekery, check out my Old Hollywood Special Effects, and my Early Color Film Processes posts! (And while you’re at it, take a look at my art blog, why don’t ya?)

So. One of my muses saw all the delicate ribbons and cords and pendants and went "Aw, cute. But what if LEATHER."

Well, I spent the last of my paycheck on tools, hardware, and supplies. Rainbow leather & trans pride shimmering suede, incoming!

Hope y'all like queer punk collars & cuffs XD

If the fabric pleases me, I have ideas for a trans punk rogue assassin outfit >.>

My ambitions are back, luvs, the Etsy will return!

Complete! Super pleased with this. :D Brushy has never looked more storybook-like!

Complete! Decided to do sets of 4.
