༄ Monarobot ༄ @monarobot@mastodon.art

Hey peeps, I'd really appreciate if anyone could give me advise about confronting someone close (family in this case) about emotional manipulation and boundaries.

Parent is not respecting my boundaries and the way he expresses affection sometimes makes me uncomfortable because he talks to me as Both a child and a partner (at the same time??), and it's very hard to address cuz he gets very defensive AND dismissive.

Making progress on the Otachi glyph sculpt!

She’s shaping up really nice, but being my first serious attempt at sculpting there’s a lot of trial and error.

You can see more pics and read more about the process over on my patreon:

I’m a newbie to open source Os and stuff but I wonder if there’s art apps in the style of Procreate being developed for them?

Long shot but anyone here familiar with Classic Maya script? I want to make tutorials for my patrons b u t beyond established logograms, numerals and syllabic glyphs, there is a lot of nuance to maya script and I'd like to find resources with more translated samples to make sure I'm getting it right

when your brain decides it's going to bully you even before you wake up

Hey guys, how do I use the custom emojis other mastoartists create?

sometimes it feels like people who support my work see the potential of the stylization as much as I do but we are ALL aware I don't quite pull it off yet, and I really appreciate that they keep on supporting it

Is there a way to go back to previously posted images and add descriptive text to them? I didn't realize this was a feature until I posted from Amaroq

Lineart for a tattoo commission I'm working on!
This one has been a lot of fun, I really love
working on Procreate, the latest update was very good!

My current tattoo designs are at 350 to 550USD depending on complexity, if you'd like a tattoo design from me remember I offer the option of monthly payments through my Patreon, just hit me up via email! 1monarobot(at)gmail(dot)com

Things I want to do:
*Collaborate with my friends on awesome projects
*Continue learning to read classic maya glyphs
*Make tutorials on how to read and write such glyphs for my Patrons
*Finish sculpting my first pop culture monster as a tridimensional glyph
*Make art dolls in this style
*Show the making-of process and make tutorials for my patrons

What I actually do:
*get a pain flare up that lasts for 5 days
*Get hit by a depressive episode that makes me feel like I don’t deserve friends

Here’s an older Camazotz pillow I made with my friend Julio Penagos! It’s still one of my favorite projects and collaborations of all time

‪I’m learning a lot through missmonstermel ‘s Patreon, making the jump from drawing to sculpting is one wild ride, but watching their work really helps figure out some stuff.

I’ve been trying to sculpt some glyph-like stuff and I’ve had to retrace my steps a couple times, but I hope it’ll be worth it in the end.

A couple days ago @lupusdraconis owned me by showing me Marian Churchland’s comic The Passing, fully implying that I am/have been exactly like that-

Always getting rid of all my possessions, erasing my own past, letting go of everything/everyone to move on while simultaneously not existing/being completely disconnected from everyone...And I’m trying to be better but also I have never felt more seen OR called out in my LIFE.

You should check it out, it’s amazing. https://marianchurchland.com/2018/05/18/the-passing/

The ads on Twitter/tumblr/instagram are getting ridiculous and annoying and everything feels so disconnected, so I’m hopping right back to mastodon and pillowfort and hope to find a solid community in those places instead while keeping other social media just to promote my work, I guess. If you’re on pillowfort.io I’m here: https://pillowfort.io/monarobot (redrafting to include the actual link!)

‪my original artdoll bat design was a lot longer, I still like the nose concepts I made and the chunky fangs‬

‪Support me on Patreon to see how my fleshed out glyphs take shape!‬
