Happy Pride Month!
As a celebration, I give you, for the first time in public, gay and homophobic, Bel. Her head is usually not that big, at least literally.
I found this old art I did for my fic, and I decided I actually kinda like it. I am posting chapters at a snail's pace, but hey, snails are bugs, and we like bugs here, right?

"In recent years, there has been a rush on the internet to supply image descriptions and to call out those who don’t. This may be an example of community accountability at work, but it’s striking to observe that those doing the most fierce calling out or correcting are sighted people. Such efforts are largely self-defeating. I cannot count the times I’ve stopped reading a video transcript because it started with a dense word picture. Even if a description is short and well done, I often wish there were no description at all. Get to the point, already! How ironic that striving after access can actually create a barrier. When I pointed this out during one of my seminars, a participant made us all laugh by doing a parody: “Mary is wearing a green, blue, and red striped shirt; every fourth stripe also has a purple dot the size of a pea in it, and there are forty-seven stripes—”
“You’re killing me,” I said. “I can’t take any more of that!”
Now serious, she said it was clear to her that none of that stuff about Mary’s clothes mattered, at least if her clothes weren’t the point. What mattered most about the image was that Mary was holding her diploma and smiling. “But,” she wondered, “do I say, Mary has a huge smile on her face as she shows her diploma or Mary has an exuberant smile or showing her teeth in a smile and her eyes are crinkled at the edges?”
It’s simple. Mary has a huge smile on her face is the best one. It’s the don’t-second-guess-yourself option."
--Against Access, by John Lee Clark, a DeafBlind educator
I think this also includes the important idea of imagining the other. Sighted people (like myself) often consider visuals the *most important* part of an experience. This isn't and can't be the case for a blind person. If you don't have sight, then the particulars about the color/expression/etc. aren't necessarily going to be important to you.
Smiling matters because it's an indicator of emotion. The quality of the teeth only matter if it's relevant to the joke. Striped shirt only matters if the text describes it as polka dots and that's the point.
Describe the parts of the image that give context, because a person whose primary mode of interpreting the world is not sight will most likely not want extraneous visual information.
As one of the blind bitches, my best advice for alt text is to lead with the main context in a single sentence summary and get more specific later if it's relevant. Alt text is read in the order it's written: if a summary is short and simple, I can know if it's something I care about listening to the whole of.
"A photo of an orange cat stretched out in the sun on a window ledge", for example, gives me the subject matter immediately - it's a photo of a cat - and the detail descends from there. Anything else in the image is coincidence or unnecessary; the photo was taken of the cat, and anything else in the frame is unimportant. The reason why the image exists should be in the first two lines - and comedic timing still works in alt text form! "A photo of an orange cat stretched out in the sun on a window ledge. A second cat is falling off a cat tree in the background." still gives that moment of realization that a build up to a joke usually would.
(Defining if it's a real thing or an illustration or a movie scene or whatever is also pretty important for context - "an illustration of a dead dove" is pretty different from "a photograph of a dead dove".)
"A sunny room with a large window and a park outside with children playing in it. There is a wide, sunny windowsill with plants on it and a cat lying next to them, looking outside" describes the same hypothetical image, but the order of it changes the importance; while it would work to establish a scene in fiction (well, clumsily worded fiction, at least) it's missing the point as alt text - the cat's the reason the photo was taken, but everything else gets described first!
I'm no expert, nor do I intend to speak for Everyone With Vision Loss Ever, but as endemiccharm said, unless the details are relevant to why the image exists, they're probably not necessary to mention! Get Shorter.
I FINALLY GOT KRITA AND MY TABLET TO WORK LET'S GOOOO!!!
Aah! Questions!
Okay, so @lavenderlemniscate yes, I did use Krita to make the gif, it's File>Render animation, click video option and choose a format.
@edwinpaynefan I am having trouble tagging you, sorry, but uh, here, it's this tool!
If you want to resize a specific portion of something, use one of the select options on the right, the ones with dotted lines. And if you want something to not change proportions while you resize it, hold shift while doing it. Hope that helps!

I've been trying to draw them on-model for so long, once I managed that, I forgot that I could draw them however I wanted to.

Ok, since people are posting their own fankids, here's my Knuxouge ones I made a few years back, Bixbite and Egg.
Bixbite aspires to be a reverse Indiana Jones; he steals exhibits from museums, and returns every artefact to its rightful place (which often ends up being a different museum in a different country). His parents mostly approve, even if they don't always agree on what his methods should be. Bixbite as a kid, felt guilty that he wasn't born an Echidna, because he had a strong obligation to keep their culture and traditions remembered, as he spent most of his childhood with his dad on Angel Island.
His name is what the rarest, red type of emerald is called, and was, of course, chosen by Rouge.
Egg is a mischievous little gremlin, often tagging along on her brother's self-appointed missions. Bixbite is doing his best to spare her from the pressure that he felt growing up, and trying to hide how jealous of her he is. Knuckles is worried that she will be too carefree in her duties once she grows up. Rouge is of the opposite mind.
Egg's name was meant to be a placeholder before her hatching, but after a series of misadventures involving the egg, the name stuck around. The first time Eggman showed up on Angel Island and found Bixbite and Egg guarding the Master Emerald, much confusion ensued.
I think it's very funny how big Shadow's wings are.
Help.
I am drawing Maria Robotnik once again. I think it's the first time I posted her though.

I'm on a bus ride and want to draw, but don't know what. Ideas? Ideas please? Ideas perchance?
Until then I'll try to practice hands.
@everydaygremlin an Eurasian Jay, not colourful enough to be pop, not dark enough to be goth, sad about it
@flovey-dovey a distinguished grasshoper in a tophat.
I should draw more backgrounds methinks.
