Optimus: Where Did You Get This Gun??

Flight Rising [And Not Flight Rising] Commissions!

Finished Work Examples ^^^ All animated comms come with still versions

My Flight Rising account with my art shop forum post can be found in my Tumblr bio!

More details copy-pasted from there are below the cut.

Open to doing commissions outside of FR dragons. Good with most animals (canines, felines, equines, etc). The pricing will be discussed and will follow the above guides as close as possible.

Open to doing simple backgrounds that may increase cost, but I don't currently have art examples for it.

there would be a sixth pic where the loser finally lies down but by the time i got there i was so tired i was just so tired

social hierarchy is maintained without violence in most cases, and after the circling stage one of them backs off, knowing they'd lose a fight. but backing off means ceding your ground & movement path to the victor. it is a type of dyadic dominance so isn't relevant in contexts where two stallions aren't likely to ever meet again or associate with one another for more than a few minutes. a quick appraisal is usually enough to establish who walks freely and who moves out of the other person's way, but in the cases where neither party will back down, they're going to fight and make it everyone else's problem. there have been several documented cases of fights breaking out indoors and someone being knocked out by getting too carried away and smashing their head into the ceiling

it's extremely rare for this to result in life-threatening injuries but it does happen; a few deaths a year is the norm. sometimes a guy just doesn't know when to call it quits, or sometimes a stray kick hits the wrong place. the victor of a fight doesn't get a blanket dominant status - this is only in the context of the two participants of that particular fight

Not a big fan of the pro-religious left cause it's always 'you ought to respect people's strongly held spiritual beliefs' like ok I'm not joking when I say maybe you should have more respect for my strongly held belief that none of this shit is real

Niki Lauda — Sunday 28th March 1976 Long Beach - Preparing Shortly Before the Race, Niki Would Finish P2

It took a long while, but finally I finished colouring this black-and-white photo.

Everything has been colour matched to be as accurate as possible to how it was in real life, guided by other colour photos of the event. Though, some exceptions had to be taken, such as the hair and clothing colour of background people.

Are any of my followers fluent in Russian? If you are, would you be willing to translate a few short things (like under 30 words) for a chapter of a fic of mine?

I'm happy to credit you for helping in the notes of the work ^^

hii i was wondering what ur process was for making skins ?? i am trying to make my own but ngl the process is annoying. i have a separate tab open js to see how the changes will look… 💀i need helpp 🙏🏾🙏🏾

Tbh the process is annoying and very fiddly, but there a definitely ways to make the actual writing it part easier!

I use an add-on called Stylus that lets you write CSS in a pretty way, will show you most syntax errors automatically, and will update the site live as you write it. It takes nearly all the difficulty out of actually writing the theme.

I normally split my screen between AO3 and Stylus like this:

(But note that Stylus is an actually well-maintained system, so if you're planning to copy-paste the code back into the AO3, then check your theme regularly, because Stylus will accept it just fine but AO3 may find reason to throw a tantrum.)

The next thing I suggest is uBlock Origin. Its core functionality is as an Ad-Blocker, so I recommend it on that alone lmao. Google recently updated its entire service just to ban Origin on Chromium, so I heavily advise not only Firefox in general, but Firefox for AO3 theme writing.

Origin, using its element picker feature, actually lets you more accurately, well, pick the elements you want to target. It will show exactly what you're selecting, and will let you move up and down the element hierarchy to get what you want. 85% of the time it'll do better than what you'll get with inspect element.

These two together really simplify the process.

Aiiiughm if you want more tips I can give you more but purely process-wise, this be it.

GODDAMMIT

Checking the Etalon horse genetics database start of every month just to make sure they haven't found another fucking dominant white.
