I draw kitties. Sometimes other things.

Meet you in the place it all began Even though I can't show you, there's a light around the bend Be right there to see you through the end ♫♪♪ Again- Mako Amber is your tiny friend with absolutely no inhibitions. She's the one parents ask you if you'd follow off a cliff. The answer is probably yes. Ash is the solid, down to earth friend that always makes you feel good about yourself. Raptor is your mom. I can't be sure but I think this is the last time I drew them all together? Which is utterly pitiful...

How to turn off AI Training of your content on Web and Mobile:

On a Web Browser:

I had some trouble finding this option. My first instinct was to click the settings button on the left, but that's where it is!

First, you'll click the name of your blog on the left sidebar to bring it up on your browser.

Then click "Blog settings" on the right sidebar once your blog is brought up. That's where they're hiding it.

Click "Prevent Third-Party Sharing" under the Visibility section, and bam! You're done.

On Mobile:

Thankfully it's much easier on mobile. Just click the Gear icon on your blog's page, to go to settings.

Scroll all the way down until you see Visibility, then toggle the Prevent third-party sharing option for your blog!!

If you disable this setting on mobile, it automatically synced it to my web browser settings, too. ...But if you use both Web and Mobile, I would still highly recommend double checking that it actually turned off on both!!

Check that it's turned off on your side blogs too! And check your settings every now and then anyway to ensure that it's staying turned off, because if my memory serves right, some other websites will pull some shenanigans on things like this and opt you back in without telling you!

Leave Feedback on New Features at Tumblr Support Here!! Let Staff know however we can that having our content fed to AI at their whim is unacceptable.

And if you have the option to poison your art with Nightshade or Glaze, keep it up!!

Please share!

Opt yourself out of AI scraping.

Like many sites, Tumblr is opting us in to AI scraping instead of opting us out by default, and packaging it like a kindness. We're not calories to consume. You can opt yourself out in blog settings (per blog you use).

Revisiting an old character I haven't drawn since like possibly 2008. Her name used to be Star.... but on the nose given her accessories, so I decided to change it. Apparently Aster means star, but I like the sound of Astrid better. She's def a sparkle cat, but I actually really like her design still, so I revamped some aspects to freshen her up. Character wise she used to be pretty generic, think I'm gonna change that up. She can see the future, but it's far from clear what she can ever do to change anything if she wanted to- and her personality really didn't reflect any impact from that, so. XD Tweaks are in order!

I did an art trade with lunarevenant and created a banner featuring their character named Mochi! He is a sort of moon spirit and his markings remind me of stars, so I thought a sky/space theme would be neat. I hope you like it!

Here are a few alternate versions for you to enjoy. And, if you're interested, a 4k wide version can be downloaded by my Ko-fi supporters here.

I'm going on an adventure back through time to revisit all my old artwork. I'm sharing it on Blueksky if you'd like to come along with me! If all goes well over there, that may be my main new social account.
