An anthro shinobi crow wearing a long yellow scarf and jean shorts in the air above a sea of cherry blossom petals.
A Goloma with pale skin and hair looks stands imposing. Their cracked mask has 8 red eyes, and they wear padded armor, a large pack, and a longsword on their hip. Clinging to their pack is a large, white spider. Despite their imposing g stature and appearance, they seem nervous in body language.
A cryptyd-like creature with spiky black fur and a bone mask sits in an armchair in a well-furnished cave. He wears casual clothes with a witchy motif, a pointed hat, and fluffy slippers as he reads a book by the light of a deer skull lamp. A fire glows in the hearth, and a shelf nearby is cluttered with various books, baubles, bones, and such.

A reference sheet for Trypp's tanuki fursona.
A fiendish entity of marble and flesh. Most of their body bears the appearance of a marble statue, fractured down the middle with each half taking on a more masculine or feminine appearance. Out of a large fissure in the middle of their torso, a fleshy, underformed chest, neck, and head twist and emerge. A similarly split stone mask conceals parts of the face, revealing fanged teeth and a glowing, golden eye. Stone horns float near their head, and they hold a black staff nestled in the crook of their arm.
A gold dragonborn in fancy green and brown attire. Various gems and pieces of jewelry adorn their face, spines, and horns.

A three panel sequence from the manga Jojolion, in which a bubble slowly drifts towards a man's finger before popping.
An anthro hyena with brown and black fur patterns and golden tattoos. Scars are visible at various points on his body, and a chunk has been taken out of his ear. He wears armor that is a mix of plate mail and bone, with fur-trimmed red fabric making cape and mantle. He holds a spear in his right hand and carries a battle standard on his back.
A bipedal creature wearing a tattered cloak with thick fur about the shoulders stands menacingly at the edge of the shadows. Surrounding them are tiny bits of floating metal, and three masses of metal twisting and coalescing into spikes. Their face resembles a mask with 8 red eyes along it. Their mouth is open, revealing sharp fangs, and their hands and feet are visible, ending in large claws.
A mech, strafing on rocket jets. Its armor plating is purple and black with gold trim, and it has shoulder-mounted rocket batteries and a bird skull-like mask. Its right arm ends in a chain sword, and its left has a claw grip.

A 2 panel comic. The first panel shows Impact slightly leaned forward and smiling. Text reads: "You have work that needs to be done.

A figure crouches, hidden, in the darkness beneath several cloth sheets affixed to a twisted wooden staff. Their pale hands clutching the staff and wide, glowing, green eyes are all that can be seen of them. Atop the staff is a massive eyeball with a bright green iris, staring at the sky as dozens more eyes are visible in the background, surrounding the figure. Tendrils tipped with venomous claws writhe out from the base of the staff.

To be clear, I'm not blaming others for not buying. I'm grateful to those that have supported me by purchasing stickers so far. I just haven't put out enough new/good designs to keep interest up to cover the cost of a PO box, and I'd rather not put my real address on the return label or leave that blank. I looked into third-party sellers when first setting this up, and among other reasons I'd rather just produce them myself unless they're getting to a volume I can't handle on my own. It's nice being able to do the physical crafting myself where I can personally ensure the quality of the final product.
An announcement detailing the hiatus of sticker sales starting December 26th. A code, IMPACT25, is listed to allow 25% off on sticker prices until December 25th. A new, Stormlight-themed sticker is presented. The main body of text reads: So here's the situation: My PO box reservation is going to be running out at the end of December, and while the stickers have been fun to make, they haven't really sold well enough to break even on the cost of the materials and the box. Financially, it's been a net loss so far. Due to that and some other factors, I'll be shutting down sticker sales after December 25th. It's clear now this pursuit needed more time in the oven and a better/wider selection to be viable. The plan now is to keep making some more designs when I have ideas for them and time to get em done, so that when things stabilize for me in the future, I can reopen orders with more things to offer you all. But for the time left...

For a good while, my PC was having an issue where it would "get stuck" when trying to shut down. It wouldn't freeze or anything like that, but the fans would spin up to a random speed and stay there, one 'fan' being a significantly higher speed than the rest. Additionally, the temperature reading, both on the board display and in the monitoring software, would stick at whatever temperature reading it was at. In this state, the computer functioned as normal, but when I would sleep, restart, or shut it down, the monitors and the cpu would do so, but all the lights and fans in the case would remain on. From this state, the PC would refuse to turn back on. It would respond to nothing but holding the power button to force a shutdown. From there, I could turn it back on as one normally would from a shutdown state. After researching the issue with little luck and searching through and testing software with the help of a friend, I let the issue sit for a while. Eventually, I got around to opening the case up to look at the wiring. I'm quite far from an expert in PC building, but I was able to figure out, with some reading and visual inspection, that the motherboard had a specific port labeled for an AIO pump. (I know, who'd have guessed the port labeled 'SYS_Pump' should've been connected to the pump) That significantly faster 'fan' that had caused concern was actually the pump for my liquid cooling and was supposed to be faster. After reconnecting the pump, splitting up all the fans onto their own ports (which I've been told was a bit extra, but I figure could hurt, at least), and adjusting the fan speed parameters, the issue has yet to resurface and my computer is even running quieter at baseline than before!
A roughly drawn comic depicting Impact, saying "Alright, tomorrow's the day I get some good work done..." as they go to sleep for the night. As they wake up in the morning, steel spikes labeled "All-day migraine" have been driven through their head through the eyes ( a la Mistborn), prompting a response of "Ah.".
A synth and a protogen snuggle on a couch by the window, wrapped in a warm blanket. Both are wearing sweaters, and the protogen has his arms wrapped around the synth. Fairy lights on the wall behind them illuminate the scene in a cozy warm light.
The Sword Saint has been built up as this force of nature BBEG that went mad during the big war 19 years before the story started. Using what was essentially the sword equivalent of a nuke, he committed mass genocide and drove the opposition to a treaty, leading to the incident being covered up and him being sealed in solitude for almost 20 years. The current plot is a massive raid on the Kamunabi, the main governmental sorcerer organization that's been keeping the Sword Saint imprisoned and the enchanted blades on lock down, to try and reach the Sword Saint and his weapon. Easy set up for a "The mad swordsman is now free, we have an apocalypse level threat to deal with now" type plot, right?
An unamused looking man leans back over an iron maiden he carries on a chain. He wears faded blue pants held by suspenders, a button-up shirt, and a ratty leather jacket over top. He has medium-length brown hair and glasses, as well as a vertical scar across his left cheek and jawline.
A white-feathered owl recoils, blushing with a nervous smile. They wear a green sweater vest over a white button up and khakis, accented with a red, patterned bow tie. One sleeve is fastened over the end of a missing arm.
