Attention Hikabuddies!!

Have you drawn art of my vtuber? I would like to print out your art to hang on my fan art wall LIVE at a VERY SPECIAL UPCOMING EVENT! Please reply if I have permission to print your art for display. I won't claim it as my own or make merch.

@dev i would do it, but I need to figure out how to commit sites to build on Netlify then lmao. I know most people build/work locally before deploying their site but I kinda use a GitHub as a CMS.

@spillingdown@blorbo.social

found these doodles I didn't remember at all so I'm resharing

Haikyuu fan art. Sketches of Kenma, a boy with chin-length bleached hair with his roots showing and cat-like eyes, and Hinata, a boy with messy hair that looks like a chicken butt. From top to bottom:
Chibi Kenma with cat ears stares at an overly excited cartoonish bird Hinata.
A bust of Kenma side-eyeing something with a neutral expression.
A bust of Kenma doubled over while he pants hard, face sweaty and hair messy. He looks annoyed.
A side profile of Hinata, looking serious.
An angry-looking Kenma, face shadowed.
A smiling Hinata.

The top left corner reads "17 October 2022".

@spillingdown Oh that's funny, I'm on hollo so it was showing my website preview (though I need to fix that since it's blank right now).

Thanks for checking it out! Your shrine setup was a big inspiration. I was super eager to get this up right away after filling out the first one lmao

It's been announced, so I can say it here: I drew the cover for the latest doujinshi from the fan radio for Tenchi Muyo, known as Tenchi Yokocho! Here's their youtube: youtube.com/@tenchiyokocho

My art is going to be on the cover of a doujinshi at Comiket, yay! My wildest dreams ever!! That makes two times I've been published in Japanese doujinshi ٩(。•́‿•̀。)۶

If you are lucky enough to be in Japan, the circle is キタキリスズメ (Kitari Suzume) and the booth will be at 南2ホール g 41b (South Hall 2, g-41b)!

If there's any interest here, I'll post the art here eventually, once I've been given permission o/ I also did a flyer for an event in September called Comic★Treasure, which you can see here in the fourth image, a photo taken by the radio host Takerun! That one features characters from other AIC series~

My art on the cover, with the title at the top. Title is Tenchi Yokochou: TIMELESS LINEAGE.

Ryoko is the centerpiece, digitally painted in color, as she's smirking at the camera while holding up her hands holding other characters. She's in her classic orange-green-white outfit combo. The other characters featured are in chibi forms: Sasami is excited, kneeling on top of Ryoko's head; Tenchi is sitting on Ryoko's hand/our left, smiling, looking at Sasami while holding onto one of Ryoko's fingers for support; Ayeka is on Ryoko's other hand, grabbing at one of Ryoko's long side burns (not ear hair, dudes) while clearly chastising Ryoko angrily; lastly, Mihoshi, crying because oh god she's holding on for dear life from Ryoko's arm, SAVE MIHOSHI!!!!

Clothes for each chibi is: Sasami in her green and black bow outfit, Tenchi in the casual brown one, Ayeka in her magenta pink kimono with yellow accents and Mihoshi in her cute sailor outfit from OVA2 ep 8. I wanted something different for Mihoshi and her clothes to draw, dagnabbit.

Table of Contents for the doujinshi. My Mihoshi chibi is to the left, as is an Akari chibi from Battle Athletes that I also drew FOR ANOTHER EVENT LATER IN THE YEAR ^o^ Akari is posed like she's ready to start running once the gun goes off.

Photo of a freshly arrived box, with the flyers direct from the printing press. All you can see is the same image of Ryoko from the doujinshi cover but with other characters from different AIC series. Who are they??? WHO?!!! You can also see the title for Tenchi Yokocho in Japanese and a giant 8.

No matter if Bluesky (or Cara, or your own website) puts something in place to tell scrapers not to scrape, be aware that most won’t honor that.
Nightshade/Glaze your stuff. Don‘t upload high res. Just generally be aware that there is no save place and it will end up in the machine somehow.

Amazing session yesterday capturing the solar eclipse! ☀️🌑

4 telescopes + 1 camera, and about 1.5 TB of data to process. This is going to take a few days… 😅

Here’s a little preview in the meantime. More to come soon!

Bluesky numbers go down down down

Bluesky corp has always loathed the userbase it ended up with. This is why the new CEO is trying to get more totally-not-Nazis in. (The users the rationalist, coiner and neoreactionary staff originally wanted.)

The graph since 2023 shows bursts of new users every time Musk or sometimes Zuckerberg faceplants, followed by slow declines.

"focus beyond the app" is an excuse for failing at the app. The AT Proto infrastructure is a diverse decentralised ecosystem in the same sense as cryptocurrencies - it has a hard dependency on Bluesky Social PBC infra for 99.99+% of users. There is no programme to reduce that number other than saying "decentralised" a lot.

For comparison, mastodon.social is around 20% of fedi - large, but the other 80% can and do tell them to go whistle as appropriate. AT Proto was always a Not Invented Here of fedi.

It's not clear where the missing Bluesky users are going. Looks like ... nowhere!

Bluesky’s active user base is shrinking as its focus expands beyond the app | TechCrunch

Over a year following its post-election surge, Bluesky’s mobile app is seeing a continued decline in active users, though its remaining community is still relatively engaged.
