Now Remember, We Must Criticize Constructively With Valve’s Negligence On The Bot Crisis. 5 Years Of

Day 12 done! I'm not sure why my Pearl design has hidden eyes. Maybe to fit her mysterious yet silly persona? It's definitely not because I couldn't figure out how to draw her eyes

Day 22 done! Meet my take on Keralis: robo-Keralis! When looking at his skin, there's no interpretation of him as a human that doesn't horrify me, so I imagine him as a silly little robot guy

And, as a bonus, have an XB for a late day 20!

In case anyone isn't up to date with #FixTF2 and the issues the protest is focusing on, here is a comprehensive document you can read.

It has the personal testimony of one of the bothosters' victims who was swatted, MegaScatterBomb, a guy who is working on an anticheat to use in casual mode.

The bothosters and their lackeys have committed and condoned crimes that hurt people IRL, while scamming desperate players with "bot immunity" and spamming links that they brag about containing CP. They customize their Objectors to have gore on them. They have tried to funnel the anger of the playerbase on innocent, uninvolved parties and impersonated a number of TF2 players to divert attention away from the real bothosters. Recently they tried to take down the save.tf site by unlawfully impersonating Valve in order to file a DMCA.

They are allowed to conduct this sort of behavior with no consequences while Valve is still making money off the game.

#FixTF2 is not asking for more content, they are asking for security measures. People are getting doxxed just for critiquing bothosters. TF2 isn't the only game on Steam which suffers from lack of proper regulation, either. If people are supposed to spend money on your product, this product should work properly and you shouldn't be risking your personal information just from using it!

Please sign the petition on save.tf (they are aiming for 300k signatures) and spread word of #FixTF2. As a regular player and a big fan of the game, I think this is worth trying rather than just rolling over. Valve profits from this mess, refusing to openly communicate with the playerbase, fix their game nor simply shut it down. Let them know this is unacceptable.

To keep up with the developments and to know more, a good account to follow on twitter is the guy who called the fandom to action in the first place this year, Weezy. He has a youtube too, with informative videos on the matter. Shork is likewise updating on the situation.

Day 24 done! Behold...the Juppet

Day 30 done! I don't really watch Doc, but wow is his skin fun to draw! The extremely impractical glasses are my favorite part of this design, they look like they're about to fall off at any moment

Trying to do Hermit-A-Day May this year. Hopefully it goes better than the last...every monthly art challenge I've tried to do

Emesis Blue Flashing Lights warning

Hi, hello, Emesis Blue dropped by Yesterday by Fortress Films. The video has flashing lights that are not labelled, so here are the times.

44:08 - 44:41 (bad flashing lights when the stretched Scout is on the screen to his death)

and also at

45:42 - 47:44 (alarm lights flashing within the respawn room. not as bad as the Scout one, but it's still a long time to have them on screen)

These are the only bad ones that stuck out to me, but if you can find anything else that may cause eyestrain or worse yet, possible seizures, please add them. Yes, this is a horror SFM, but I want people to be safe as they watch it.

Please do share and reblog this. I don't want anyone to be harmed during their viewing of this amazing piece of art, and I want everyone to have a good time.

Another Trimax redraw! This time of my favorite panel from Ch. 83. I'm fond of that chapter because the moment Livio committed to the cowboy aesthetic was the moment he became my favorite character

(please ignore the awful signature, I really need to make a proper watermark before I post anything else)

Day 27 done! Today is everyone's favorite knight, who I imagine as having griffon features. Since griffons (griffins? gryphons?), as well as lions and eagles, show up in many coats of arms, I thought it would be fitting for a knight. Plus, the idea of Wels having wings and a tail was too cool not to draw.

As a bonus, have a Zedaph for day 26! I'm especially happy with my design for him. He's a weresheep: the bigger the moon, the more sheep features he gets!

Last day done!!! This whole month has been so much fun! Thank you so much to the lovely mods @hermitadaymay, y'all did such an amazing job, and seeing your kind notes on participants' posts every day was so uplifting.

I've never been able to keep up with a monthly challenge for more than a few days, but this time I was able to get something done for almost every day! This month has been such a great opportunity to learn and grow. For the days I missed, I plan to finish and post them sometime in the next few days. There are also a few pages of ideas and design attempts I'll post with that, if anyone is interested.
