@pixelfed@bhawthorne@ailnoth Hey, main reason was that this picture is a parody of a Totoro scene and I just substitued the oiginal characters to mascots; so I had a limited amount of character I could put into the picture (that's why also no Lemmy, Funkwhale, etc). By the way, this document https://github.com/pixelfed/brand-assets/tree/master would benefit a lot if the license of the mascot was written on it (CC-BY-SA I guess?). Keep the good work!
Just unveiled a new black sketchbook and have begun an experimental artistic journey. Excited to see where this takes me! 🖤🎨 #AliceInWonderland#sketchbook

Rant about the world of social media and marketing:
My latest (very recent) shock was receiving an email from a digital painting software company (I can't name them) asking me my price to switch my entire workflow to their proprietary product and announce it on my channels.
Of course I refused.
I'm still 100% committed to Free/Libre&Open-Source Software. But it made me realise that these days even profiles without a huge internet presence are getting paid to use and advocate things. Meh 😔
