I can spend all day drawing and reach a point of exhaustion where my brain is tired and my body is sore… then after a measly few seconds scrolling through BlueSky I’m immediately reinvigorated and want to draw more lol

Dude, I love SAC, I’ve been rewatching it actually, but this looks so fun! They’re clearly inspired by the original manga which is a dope direction to go.

Been rewatching the GitS Stand Alone Complex anime again and had a moment of curiosity. Major visits with two girls in Ep5 who suggest a flirtatious history. Did some digging and it turns out Motoko Kusangani is bisexual as well. How cool!

I created an idea that requires me to design eldritch monstrosities. I don’t monster, let alone eldritch monster lol. Send me your favorite monster designs please! Anything from freaky little guys to impossible monstrosities.

the lesson to be learned here is that when you let artists and creatives cook, instead of doing everything possible to increase shareholder returns, you get creative art that becomes immortal and inspires everyone!! you will always fall short when you don't trust the artists to do what they do best

I have 2 ideas. Captain America - all the adventures he went on before being frozen. MODOK would appear from the future and offer Red Skull dope tech weapons. Lost Boys - Michael somehow didn’t die and the Frog Bros have to stop him from making new vampires every week.

Started this one almost a year ago, jumped back to it again last week with a new perspective on how I wanted it to look. Ironhide is one of my favorites from the Bayformer films.

This one took some thought. I ultimately went with the games that influenced me, stuck with me, and really altered my idea of what a game was.

Man… I have always loved Final Fantasy X. It was my first FF game, I loved the whole group and the isekai plot. I’ve played a few other FF games since but 10 always slaps! They’re so great to draw too haha

Thanks to my ADHD meds I’m finally able to read and I’m learning what many already knew, that everyone writes differently. It does my self esteem and confidence good to know that, while some authors DO favor floral wordplay, others say it plain. It’s all about the story being good.

I had the idea for a videogame in which you place a wanderer called the Indexer whose task is to survey the planet and take note. The gameplay would consist of wandering vast landscapes to survey vistas of large factories, sprawling fields, soaring towers, dense forests, endless cables, and more.

I don’t do this often… I was fired back in October so, my days are spent looking for work, bettering myself thru education, and drawing/writing A LOT! You don’t owe me anything because I can’t promise anything in return yet, but I do have a KoFi and I’m open for commissions.

I know Pinterest has been going downhill but, the hell is up with it here lately? I pulled it up today and the homepage was washed with pictures of books and nature and shit. Like… what happened to all the images based on the shit I’ve searched for years?

I’m a very big fan of collectible figures, especially little ones that you can cover your desk with. I had fun designing these, finding a style that was cute but still allowed for some great silver age comics elements. Hit me up DC Comics, I can do these all day.

Sure. It looks just like them fighting… but the question still remains, who cares? I’m not worried about what this means for Hollywood, I’m worried about what this means for humanity in general. In an age when one party refutes actual facts, what do we do when they can fabricate their own?

I’ve been leaning more Rule Of Cool with my art lately. Focusing more on what looks good and less on stressing that every detail is clean and scientifically accurate.

I’ve been really enjoying the mobile game StellaSora lately. For one, it has actual gameplay which is a nice change of pace for mobile stuff. The characters and the story and the world are all very fun and playful which I appreciate. I wanted to draw the main trio of Noya, Iris, Amber.

Hey Art friends, I’m in serious need of some printing help. I’m trying to put out my first ever artbook but the prints keep coming back so insanely dark and I have no idea why. I know you lose some vibrancy going from RBG to CMYK but this is far more than that. What am I doing wrong?

I spent a slow work day entertaining myself with DC Comics themed games I would love. I had a bunch of fun ideas but couldn’t get THIS ONE in particular out of my mind. A side scrolling beat em up starring some of Gotham’s greatest gals!

Partner and I watched both Inside Out films the other day, and not only were they absolutely delightful, but it left me wondering how my ADHD brain operates. Here’s my approximation, specifically, that my Joy has watched way too many game shows.

Aw shit… I have an idea for a video game and enough ADHD fueled confidence to think I could actually make it.

I would sooner spend an entire day listen to Weezer’s entire discography on loop than 5 seconds listening to a tech bro convince me of the benefits of AI.

Update for those following along: Made an image in Procreate of a huge color range with Hexcodes. Replicated it using MSPaint. Imported both into InDesign then replicated it again within THAT program. The intent was to see what stage in the process was causing the biggest dip in brightness.

I really appreciate the people that reached out this post but, I got too ahead of myself wanting to commission someone haha! I do not have the funds to do so That said, I really enjoy the conversation. If we could pivot to artists or media I should look at, that’d be great!

So here’s the skinny, I have these characters and I’m just struggling to nail down their style, their anatomy, their outfit, all of it. I just don’t do cute girl or military. Doesn’t mean I wanna give up tho. I’m look for artists who excel at this kind of work to commission and learn from.

I have a laundry list of things I need to finally finish this year, but the major ones are: - Finish my Character Design Portfolio - Fix and release my first Artbook - Complete and release something narrative, either Hailey Comet or La Madre - Write a rough draft, either Job Hunting or Burdens

Watched the VERY enjoyable Welcome To Derry last week. I’m not a big horror fan but I love what Andy has done with the world and lore and the way he handles the unnerving tension. I also ALWAYS enjoy when Pennywise is on screen, the way Bill expertly rides the line between playful and deranged.

I am persistently caught between the knowledge that I am only some dude put on this planet to just breathe, and the absolute necessity to create something that might maybe emotionally impact someone.

I’m bummed about having so few pieces to share this year but, I’ve spent a lot of time on my portfolio and some different pitches I can’t share yet. And I’m so proud of that work. Just wait until you see it.

Bruh, we’re ALL out here making art because we don’t think we’re good at it. I post every thing I draw and hardly ever get a response, but you bet your ass I’ll do it again and again. The point is to make it.

I set up my LinkedIn account to be purely my art, which means that I get emails about jobs. I’ve never applied for any, which at one point included Glitch, because I haven’t finished my portfolio. Am I dumb for that? Should I be applying anyway?
