I wanted to do some art fight this year, already a couple days in, trying to work up the will to do an attack.
My page isn't very fancy, and I don't have one of those little display things people do, as I still not sure who to add as the 5th character to add this year.
Can't promise anything super good, as I want to at least get -something- done even if they are dumb doodles.

This is a little off what I normally post...
But when I sleep, my dreams have plots, ones that will interweave with other dreams I have. They have plots, and lore that build on each other.
There are many different "settings" for these dreams. Post Apocalyptic, Scifi, Modern, 1950s, Cyberpunk Etc...

But there are the Early Dreams, those with the largest built up world, There are towns, and cities.. but there was one part that shows up, but doesn't exactly fit in with the plot.. It is reoccurring, but maybe once or twice a year, and it makes me incredibly uncomfortable.

I am standing at the oceans edge while there is extreme low tide, allowing for the things forgotten and lost are seen again, but the ones that give me real sense of unease are large rusted chains that lead out into the water. Touching these chains, the rust cuts into my hands and they are so cold they hurt to hold, and yet I feel a need to have to reel them in, but with each link pulled in, I feel a growing horror at whatever is at the end of those chains, that they must NOT be pulled in, yet I am unable to stop reeling them in, for they do not belong there in the ocean.

I then wake up shaking, and will feel off for the rest of the day. Early on in these dreams the sealife was weird, strange organic growth that very much now that I know such things I could call eldritch, but as time goes by these horrors have subsided, yet the chains remain.

I still exist!
Depression has been pretty rough lately.
I am wanting to look into getting some stuff commissioned, but dang its hard to do these days.
Everyone artist has their own Discord/Patreon/Bluesky, etc where they open and Its so hard to keep track of or catch when open.
Looking also into getting more stuff with others. I love getting the stuff I do, but somethings would be more fun where its not just a single person image.

Hope FA comes back so I can post my backlog.

BEST DAY! WORLD RAT DAY!

MAKE RATS BIG AS WORLDS

Ok, Finally giving up Twitter. Had been slowly doing it for a while, its been off my phone completely. I had been waiting for a couple artists I really like to move over to Bluesky but they just don't seem to be doing it. I can't wait any longer. I've gone ahead set my posts as protective, and will probably shut down my account in a week.

If you wanna find me?
anachronicrodent.bsky.social

I'm also still here, and I'm on Discord and Telegram. For those who have be on there and I haven't talked to you much, Please forgive me, I've been really bad lately at keeping up with things. It's nothing personal, just be patient with me and give me another poke.

53 years from this day is when the bombs fall in fallout!

I should do more with my nightstalker, and see about making a deathclaw one of these days

I can't belive I need to say this because everything is just going to hellzones.
All eggs in my art are artifacts, chocolate, inanimate, etc, or have full grown clones
Any preg, are either ancient demons, Eldritch creatures older than time itself, fully grown clones, etc.

None of my characters are under even 20 years old. Sometimes there is some short stacks or short or small characters, but this is fully their own beings not being depicited as young.
Everything I have is an adult.

HAHAHA ITS MY BIRTHDAY FEAR ME FOR I AM MIGHTY!

I dunno. I am silly rat brained

I don't plan to go anywhere, but once again there seem to be rumblings and weird things going on.

Twitter:
@anachronicrat


Bluesky:
@anachronicrodent.bsky.social


I have some accounts on assorted other sites, many made when they first opened and then either didn't like the dirrections they went, or just bounced off. Not really active on any of them.
To be fair I am not very active on social media in general.. but if something causes me to not be here, I'll post to twitter and bluesky and there I'll say wherever I am going to end up.

I really hate how decentrilized things are getting, I don't like checking twitter and bluesky, and patreon and telegram, and discord, and personal site as the means to have to keep track of all the artists I like. I'm too rat brained to be able to keep up with that stuff :(

I have had so many unexpected expenses occure that I was not planning for. Originally I was trying to save up to upgrade my PC as its beyond old at this point, but the mony I had saved for that got wiped away by a bunch of unexpected bills and things.. then ontop of it all my AC ended up dying and its going to cost be about $6000-$8000 to get it replaced. This makes stuff a little uncomfortable on my end.. so I need to make some money.

The issue is I have no idea how much I should charge as.. well I mostly excel at coloring stuff for people, or lining sketches.
I can also draw, which I would be willing to do, but the quality isn't great and takes me forever (The stuff I've drawn myself are in my gallery under My Creations)

For examples of stuff I have lined and colored, it is a lot of the stuff from  Min but I have done soem others, I haven't yet put them into their own folder yet.

I prefer flats, but can do soft shaded or cell shaded but I am not amazing at it.

Would people be interested in any of this sorta stuff, or what they would be willing to pay for it?

I'm a hungry little rat, please feed me, its 8/8. Its more fun to be inside a rat than outside :V

Squeak squeak squeak squeak!

Also: Rats are not small. They are BIG!
They only look small because they are really far away :V

Heyo!

Just doing an update journal.
I still plan to do the doodles I took earlier, just been busy on my part.

Dealing with family issues over the holiday and just can't be given enough space to work on anything of my own.
I can hopefully pick the drawing back up once I get home.

Thanks!

So, I've been in a weird mood where I've been doing dumb doodles, and wanna expand the pool of stuff I am doing..

I am asking who wants something, just let me know of a character and I might draw something involving them

Just be aware, not likely to wind up NSFW, and the quality is likely going to be REALLY BAD and the result might be stupid or weird and cant say if it will be anywhere on model.

If you -really- want to you can include an idea.

May or may not have Trip or one of my other characters there too.

The rat is going to be older on friday!
I feel like I should aim for a cake, but I don't know what kind I wanna get. I feel like a cake with fruit? Not quite feeling chocolate.

Yep, like everyone else I'm making my way over to Bluesky. I don't know if it will be the final place but I wasn't super liking the others, but for now so I can just ditch Twitter I am on bluesky

anachronicrodent.bsky.social

So, I kept meaning to upload my backlog, but I fell far behind on it.
I am wondering, I have a bunch of sketches that I've gotten from Min that I haven't done anything with. I love to line and color them, but just haven't had the will

Would people rather I wait until done with them to upload them, just color them in their sketch phase, or what?

I suppose that for a while now people have been trying to figure out where to go with so many places going to hell.

I will admit I've never been very big into social media, and I am very slow to adopt new things in that sort of space. I finally got fed up enough with having to constantly block blue checkmarks that even an extension I had to do so couldn't keep up. I have deleted Twitter off my phone, but I haven't really found where I am going to go next.

I know many of you are either waiting to see what prevails, or are just trying them all. I for one do not like being spread out across multiple sites, so no idea where I am going yet.

On the FA front, I'm still going to be here. I don't like the feel of anywhere else. I do hate the fact that it seems if I want to see artists I have to have a billion discord chats or telegram groups.

Sorry thats enough rambling on my part.
If you absolutely want to keep track of me, free feel to note me for my telegram or discord.

I will admit that while thats where I usually am most reachable, I am exceptionally bad at keeping up with chatting with folks. It has nothing to do with you, I just can't multitask and loose track of things really easily lately!

Hope you are all well! I still got some stuff that I've been sitting on that I want to upload. I had wanted to right a story or two to go along with them but.. eh I struggle too much with writing.
We will see what we can do!

I am still stuck in this Rat Mode wanting to get stuff of rats, but I know that I want to try and get some stuff of my lesser used characters.
I have a few of those that I adopted from others that I've had a long time love with and wanted to save, and want to see about getting stuff of them. My lack of doing so has been because I feel like the stuff I get of them needs to be particularly good to be worthy of them.. but then can't think of what to do.

Ah well..

Its going to be a while before I do too much commissioning, but I would love to hear if there are any characters of mine that I haven't done anything with for a while that you would like to see, or any sorta themes you want?

So, I know these have been going around everywhere, but I've decided to make a Drawing Box myself.
I feel very self concious about drawing, but the fact no one knows who is sending stuff means I've been able to draw silly things for friends and was told I should make one. Not sure if its very fair, but hey even if one doodle of a rat not even one of my characters I will be happy.


https://drawme.share-on.me/i0zboQ42Os

If you have one, let me know so I can have a chance to try and doodle something for you too!

I have a massive need for a Massive Rat. I want one of my rats to be macro sized and big. Dunno who is open and has a fast turn around!

Hey Hey everyone,
I am sure that you might all be aware that I have been uploading a bunch of stuff lately.
I had a whole mess of things that I fell behind on uploading.

Some of it had been gotten on a laptop I only use sometimes
Some of it was on a old hard-drive that I thought died, but it was just an issue where my MOBO will shut off certian SATA when SSD are installed
Some wound up in the wrong folder instead of where i keep artwork to upload.
There are also just some dumb things I did

Some of this was stuff I wanted to work up and give really good job of coloring, or had wanted to write a story for but never got to. I felt that know what. Lets just get it uploaded. Better to get it out there than have it dissapear forever. If need be I can always go back and re-color stuff or write stuff in the futre.

--

Now, I am not done, but I am still commissioning things. Outside of instances of large want for specific stuff, I want to:

Get art of characters who haven't gotten as much love in a while
Mess around with some more weird ideas

and the big one: Get Art With Other People - I have said it before, but much of my stuff is just my character by themselves, and I feel it would be more fun to be interacting with others. I have no exact plan for who or what.

I would also love to hear from everyone to what they would like to see me explore more, or if there characters you like that should get more stuff done

Today is my birthday! I now will crumble into dust. I feel old and tired.
Still in a pretty positive mood at least. Going to eat cake even though I am trying to diet!

Heyo! I just wanted to reach out as I have gotten quite a lot of people saying they love the concept of Pylean and want to get something similiar of their own!

I'm all for other people taking the idea and running with it, let us see where we can take the idea. I would also be down for getting pictures with people involving this.

I do have a question: If there was to be a YCH of Pylean awakening a snake of your own. Who might be interested in such. Its something I might see about persuing. I dunno yet if it would be a single YCH with bidding, or a YCH with multiple slots so a few people can get in on the fun?

The exact details are sort of depending on the interest in something like this, and also how the artist might want to handle it!

Hey! Just a bit of an update.
I have a bunch of art I want to upload, I have just been struggling on what to write up for the descriptions of them.
Life is starting to get back on track on my end, but just having to combat with a weird haze and exhaustion to do things.
I just need to do a little bit at a time, that might help
