“How’s your WIP going?”

"Have you made any progress?”

“How close are you to being done?”

I had some time and decided to try and draw a few of my NPCs for the campaign i run. I admire the furries for their skills, I've struggled quite a bit with the leonin brothers but i think they turned out decent considering i rarely ever draw anthro/furry characters. Let me introduce you to Artas (half-elf), Sam (human), Emon and Krion (the white leonins).

I am happy to announce that the new theme, Lord of the Forest, is up in my shops, Patreon, Gumroad and Ko-fi.

;w; I love how the set turned out!!!

;w; It's finished! I can finally share The Lord of the Forest theme inspired by antlers! The standalone page is already up on my Patreon. The actual 3 page set will be up on my store in a day or two! I am super happy with how it turned out. ;w;

YCH Emotes

I've added some more emotes to my YCH list, and even done the nose bleed one for my entire party, either because the players or the characters themselves are usually horny. I will not say who is which hahaha.

If you are interested, feel free to message me here or on discord! ^^

how much fun are we having in this timeline folks?

[liath-art]

So this was originally a response to this post:

****

****

Which is about people wanting an AO3 app, but then it became large and way off topic, so here you go.

Nobody under the age of 20 knows how to use a computer or the internet. At all. They only know how to use apps. Their whole lives are in their phones or *maybe* a tablet/iPad if they're an artist. This is becoming a huge concern.

I'm a private tutor for middle- and high-school students, and since 2020 my business has been 100% virtual. Either the student's on a tablet, which comes with its own series of problems for screen-sharing and file access, or they're on mom's or dad's computer, and they have zero understanding of it.

They also don't know what the internet is, or even the absolute basics of how it works. You might not think that's an important thing to know, but stick with me.

Last week I accepted a new student. The first session is always about the tech -- I tell them this in advance, that they'll have to set up a few things, but once we're set up, we'll be good to go. They all say the same thing -- it won't be a problem because they're so "online" that they get technology easily.

I never laugh in their faces, but it's always a close thing. Because they are expecting an app. They are not expecting to be shown how little they actually know about tech.

I must say up front: this story is not an outlier. This is *every* student during their first session with me. Every single one. I go through this with each of them because most of them learn more, and more solidly, via discussion and discovery rather than direct instruction.

Once she logged in, I asked her to click on the icon for screen-sharing. I described the icon, then started with "Okay, move your mouse to the bottom right corner of the screen." She did the thing that those of us who are old enough to remember the beginnings of widespread home computers remember - picked up the mouse and moved it and then put it down. I explained she had to pull the mouse along the surface, and then click on the icon. She found this cumbersome. I asked if she was on a laptop or desktop computer. She didn't know what I meant. I asked if the computer screen was connected to the keyboard as one piece of machinery that you can open and close, or if there was a monitor - like a TV - and the keyboard was connected to another machine either by cord or by Bluetooth. Once we figured it out was a laptop, I asked her if she could use the touchpad, because it's similar (though not equivalent) to a phone screen in terms of touching clicking and dragging.

Once we got her using the touchpad, we tried screen-sharing again. We got it working, to an extent, but she was having trouble with... lots of things. I asked if she could email me a download or a photo of her homework instead, and we could both have a copy, and talk through it rather than put it on the screen, and we'd worry about learning more tech another day. She said she tried, but her email blocked her from sending anything to me.

This is because the only email address she has is for school, and she never uses email for any other purpose. I asked if her mom or dad could email it to me. They weren't home.

(Re: school email that blocks any emails not whitelisted by the school: that's great for kids as are all parental controls for young ones, but 16-year-olds really should be getting used to using an email that belongs to them, not an institution.)

I asked if the homework was on a paper handout, or in a book, or on the computer. She said it was on the computer. Great! I asked her where it was saved. She didn't know. I asked her to search for the name of the file. She said she already did that and now it was on her screen. Then, she said to me: "You can just search for it yourself - it's Chapter 5, page 11."

This is because homework is on the school's website, in her math class's homework section, which is where she searched. For her, that was "searching the internet."

Her concepts of "on my computer" "on the internet" or "on my school's website" are all the same thing. If something is displayed on the monitor, it's "on the internet" and "on my phone/tablet/computer" and "on the school's website."

She doesn't understand "upload" or "download," because she does her homework on the school's website and hits a "submit" button when she's done. I asked her how she shares photos and stuff with friends; she said she posts to Snapchat or TikTok, or she AirDrops. (She said she sometimes uses Insta, though she said Insta is more "for old people"). So in her world, there's a button for "post" or "share," and that's how you put things on "the internet".

She doesn't know how it works. None of it. And she doesn't know how to use it, either.

Also, none of them can type. Not a one. They don't want to learn how, because "everything is on my phone."

And you know, maybe that's where we're headed. Maybe one day, everything will be on "my phone" and computers as we know them will be a thing of the past. But for the time being, they're not. Students need to learn how to use computers. They need to learn how to type. No one is telling them this, because people think teenagers are "digital natives." And to an extent, they are, but the definition of that has changed radically in the last 20-30 years. Today it means "everything is on my phone."

I've had so much fun drawing Ignis in procreate. Here are some of the illustrations I did. The first one is a perfect fit for his toyhouse page ;w;

If you'd like to know more about him check it out! He is a part of a 4 year long campaign that doesn't seem like will be ending any time soon.

All the works were glazed. Sadly it doesn't work well with my artstyle but I'd rather have a shield against AI than nothing at all.

Finished the commission for Ko'orin, our latest party member, an elven hexblade warlock. He is currently recovering from all the trauma from just.. joining the party and being thrust into the midst of madness, but im sure he'll manage just fine.🤭(It's glazed)

Feels so good to see all the main pages of my character sheets put together. Though it does make me realize I can move on from printer-friendly and try making some with more color. xD For anyone interested, I have a Patreon for exclusive ones, or you could find a few sets on my Gumroad or Ko-Fi, some are free too!

I still haven't decided on the next theme, I was thinking maybe cute little goblins, kobolds, or perhaps a sea or map theme. Any suggestions?

[liath-art]

I realized I don't have nearly enough colored illustrations of Iggy. I need to work on fixing that hahaha This one way pretty fun and quick. ^w^

;w; I made a few Emotes for my beloved Iggy, and decided to offer YCH comms as an option. I have some more in the workings since these are a lot of fun to do and I need something to spam my party members with. >w< My Patrons have access to this entire set! (The above image is glazed💜)
