I used to make xayah rakan art all the time (from their launch to 2020ish) and after a couple years of improvement I redesigned my vision of an adult version of their daughter. I’ll include the old art at the end for fun.
Enjoy! :D
I’ve been an avid youtube watcher since 2012, and grew up with the site since its inception. The current state of the YouTube app is awful, and its monetization practices have become rampantly more obnoxious. Ads are impossible to avoid and instead of just a skippable ad or two, you are met with a banner when you open the app. You scroll through two or three rows of shorts. Community post from a channel you don’t know or follow. Finally a video from a creator you like, you click. Insufferable ai ad you can recite from memory. You’re watching in the windowed mode and can’t fucking click the skip arrow. And here the small creator is, having to read their own sponsorships in video because it’s not like being flooded of ads have increased their paycheck. Youtube has been my most used app for ten years now and watching them allow ai slop, force low effort shorts down your throat and oh my god the banner ads- it’s saddening. I can’t find the comment section because it’s been automatically swiped away so I can cheer a video- another monetized feature. Before the past couple years, youtube has always felt useable in its free version. Its current state is genuinely unrecognizable from Susan’s era of youtube.

My contribution to the animal hospital fandom… A heavily headcanoned Dr. Harlow. I feel like he would be really good looking and kind of have a Gus Fring aura to him. Calm and organized but might bite your head off if you fall out of line. I figured you guys might like him here, let me know what you think (and artists, share any human designs you’ve made, i’d love to see them in the comments)
Get this. My account was compromised and the email was changed to a russian domain. I’ve played league and valorant in the same 30 mile radius since my accounts inception in 2016. I provide them with my transaction ids, old emails, videos from my phone dating back to 2017 of my various screennames playing league and valorant, my past usernames, everything I can think of. Mind you i’ve spent thousands of dollars across both games.
It was insufficient information. Someone please help, what else could I possibly provide to prove it’s my account? One of the screen names were my name for gods sakes. Any advice someone could give me, or a real rioter I could contact would really help. I submitted a second request to get back my comprised account today.
Riot support still hasn’t gotten back with me and it’s been over three weeks. I played league since 2016, played valorant and have bought thousands of dollars of skins. Im crushed. I provided everything in my support ticket but it’s been over three weeks and nobody has gotten back with me. I’m starting to get incredibly worried. I’ve been removed off my friend’s list and can’t find my account through valorant tracker, so I guess they changed my name. They changed the email associated with my account through a phishing link.
Someone please give me reassurance. I provided everything, my first skin on both league and valorant, the month and year I created my account, my original email, everything. Is this normal that they still haven’t replied? I submitted on the 25th of last month.
So I make these bluelock pins on etsy. I want to add 3-5 new characters for wave 2. My first thoughts are to add Rin, Sae, Shidou, Reo & Aiku, but I’m not quite caught up with the manga! IN TERMS OF BEST SELLERS, which characters should I add? Thank you!
My favorite ones so far! I hope I keep up the quality :)
I was thinking how it would have been cool to see saiki in a casino.
I chose art education as an art hobbyist who loves kids, but with my first year coming to an end I feel so drained.. From 5:30-4 i’m essentially working (I have a commute) and feel like by the time I finish cleaning up dinner it’s time to get ready for school the next day so I get enough sleep. It often feels like I am managing behaviors and dragging the class over the finish line in projects rather than teaching art. It doesn’t help that I’m in NC and am getting paid very little, even by teacher standards. I wanted to be able to share something I love with students while still having time to develop my own art on the side but it just hasn’t shaped out like that. In my opinion my art is good and I have a chance at making money selling my art at conventions, setting up etsy, building a social media presence, etc. Anyway, do you guys have any suggestions for pivot jobs that are perhaps a little less time and soul consuming? I’d also like to hear any general feedback. Did it get better for you?
