For as much as I genuinely, positively *hate* Adobe and refuse to give them my money, it's baffling to me seeing how AI vibe-coded decomps of their programs are going viral. I thought we were supposed to find alt programs or [redacted], not jump in the AI enshittification bubble.

Gonna get some as much peachtober work banged out today after work that I can; already shown what I'm planning for flowerbed. Compass is likely a radar screen to practice OSL. Sail will be a not subtle reference to treasure planet. No clue yet what I'm doing for bramble.

@wyrmholeonastring.bsky.social Oct 12, 2026, 3:29 AM

It'll be explained in considerably more detail with its associated writeup and even more in the compendium I'm slowly compiling in the middle of this, but I'm using it as an opportunity to explore some ecology of my story AFCB and the physique/anatomy of the focal species within the story.

@wyrmholeonastring.bsky.social Oct 12, 2026, 3:27 AM

It might be another day til I'm catching up again on peachtober. Tomorrow will mark 4 I need to make to catch up (flowerbed/compass/sail/bramble). But! I figure instead of just... Posting nothing, I'll drop a bit of the drafting I have for flowerbed I'll pick up after work tomorrow

#peachtober #sketch #2DArt A few days late on this one, but finally figured out what I was doing for Plum. Skipped over Flowerbed yesterday to go ahead and get this one out here and will be working on it next. More in alt-text

A scissor-tailed bird with iridescent feathers perches atop a grey branch adorned with pink, flowering plum blossoms.

Plum took me an embarrassingly long time to figure out what I was making for it compared to the other prompts thus far. My personal insistence on avoiding the surface level, mundane interpretation of a prompt really bit me in the ass on this one. Sometimes, going for a surface level idea *is* good and can produce something that I'm just as proud of as my weirder works.

For this one, I decided to do a brief refresh my memory on the presentation of Plums, their uses, growth cycle, etc, and settled on the idea of a bird perched among their blossoms.

For line and detail work, I wanted to take a slightly different approach than my usual and go for quick, heavily defined but scratchy lines filled in with progressive color shading from light>dark. The flowers consisted of a peach color leading into deep burgundy, the branch consisting of greys and light browns, and the iridescence of the bird going from light green to bright blue, pale purple, and a dark, slate blue.

Music listened to while making this was me bouncing back and forth between Sign of the Times and Ma Meilleure Ennemie.

I also found my old and poorly spliced together supercut of the 2003 Clone Wars micro series when I was first teaching myself video editing..what a ride

Got a cheap charger at a local electronics upcycling store and can confirm SHE LIVES! Still need to get some parts to get her where I want, but I'm much more committed now to actually reviving this

#peachtober #@2Dart #sketch 'Sticker' prompt, inspired by the livery adorning racing and piloting helmets, the absolute mess that is my own sticker-covered nalgene, and a base color-scheme serving a reference both to Lego Ice Planet and the Muunilist-10 LAAT/ARC-170. Oh and Wipeout Pulse OST.

#peachtober #2Dart Today's Bubble prompt. Thought it'd be fun to try out a mostly monochrome piece broken up by extremely bright cotton-candy colors. Also totally didn't turn this into an excuse to make a heavily stylized, unrealistic self portrait based on a recent selfie. More in alt-text.

A neon pink bubble expands in front of sky-blue reflecting aviators. Hopefully it doesn't stick to her already messy hair and earbuds.

This is inspired by a bunch of different things for me, chiefly the trope of "cool" operator type characters saying "nah, not today." and blowing some bubble gum before something horrific happens on screen. My favorite visual gag on the trope is a clip in Gunsmith Cats where May Hopkins is seen wearing sunglasses with the same blue tint that I've used here gleefully biting retention string off a flash before throwing it.

Further inspiration is immediate lived experience both with how my transition has been going but also my workout/dieting progress. I started chewing gum somewhat regularly as a means to help me not snack so often which has definitely helped, but unfortunately I can't blow bubbles. There's also a selfie I took recently that just had me like "Oh no I actually look like I'm starting to have some semblance of confidence for the first time in my life!" which also informed this piece.

As two last things, I'm starting to attempt more diagetic or at least more sensical placement of my signature and date/title of pieces I work on. It's not easily feasible for everything, but like in the Cinnamon prompt, I thought here was a good opportunity to try running my signature like a tattoo across the collarbone and date/title adjacent. As for what's playing on those earbuds? I think it'd be the same music I listened to while making this piece - a couple mixes I stumbled on today marked as "Mr. Kitty After Dark Vibes" with Ryan Gosling in their thumbnails. Standouts were Sidewalks and Skeletons Goth, Mareux's The Perfect Girl (slowed instrumental), and Phantogram's Black Out Day.

Thinking I finally know what I'm gonna do for Plum, but I don't know if I quite have the energy to produced a finished entry for it tonight. In the meantime though, I absolutely can get a finished entry for today's Bubble prompt up here. I'll likely work on Plum and Sticker simultaneously tomorrow

@wyrmholeonastring.bsky.social Oct 7, 2026, 8:01 PM

I haven't the faintest what to make for the peachtober Plum prompt, so I'm skipping it for now as I let myself work on Bubble. Maybe I'll know and catch up with Plum once I'm done with Bubble or Sticker.

#peachtober #sketch 'Cinnamon,' unfortunately a day late. Had a long day on the 5th and was literally falling asleep while making this. Thanks to the suggestion from @artemis-arting.bsky.social, I interpreted it through the lens of an alien spice trader setting up shop for the day.

One of my favorite things about the internet is that if you use it correctly you can surround yourself with inspirational, deeply creative and intelligent people who make you want to be a better version of yourself and it RULES

I've had a long day and don't know if I'll be able to finish this before I crash, but thanks to an idea from @artemis-arting.bsky.social I've got solid footing in the peachtober prompt for Cinnamon

#peachtober #2Dart #sketch Day 3 prompt for peachtober, take on "Moose." Decided to aim for a piece inspired both by cave-art and the emotive album covers of post-rock bands like TWDY

#peachtober #2dart #specevo My take on the Chimney prompt, heavily inspired by Barlowe's striders in Expedition, and second favorite creature design I've come up with over the past few years. More in alt-text
