I wish all Generative AI programs and servers a very blow up forever No one will EVER take ANY creative process away from my hands. I will use my own mind to think up my own shit, use real damn references for it, and ask THE REAL HUMAN MINDS AROUND ME to get inspiration and advice.

Artists, Quote with something silly🥔✨ Hippotato :)

Artists, quote with something silly 🤲🏻💫

Artists, quote with something silly 🤣 Made this quirky Pigeon Peryton a couple years ago, still makes me laugh to this day

People need to stop using AI to show us that AI does stupid shit. Yes, it does stupid shit. We get it. Now stop using AI. WE GET IT.

QRP with your black & white art 🔳

I'm so tired of the artist's profession being treated as something unimportant and easily replaceable. “We're just using genAI for concept art, trust me, it'll be live actors!” I mean, yeah, artists aren't really people, so we shouldn't pay them or respect what they do... sigh

Create. Support humans. Write the fan fic. Draw the fan art. Fuck anyone who tells you otherwise. If you, a human, are putting lines on a page, words on a page, no matter the quality, you are better than every greedy fucknugget who bastardizes creativity with AI.

I dont care if it leaves me isolated with only my backlog. I will never support anything that uses genAI. We all know what a cost it is on the environment at this point. the second anyones willing to use genAI with this knowledge I lose all respect I ever had for them

I've been meaning to share these work sketches for awhile now, but kept forgetting. Most of these sketches will never go anywhere, but some are the inspiration/thumbnails for future, current, and past works I suppose I could end this post with one of those i-spy rhymes but I'm not very good at those

Quote your art with horns.

I did it after a month and a half the sculpt is finally done. Now I just have to paint her, but i think that will have to wait as I have some more pressing things to attend to first. #wip #sculpture #fantasy #beast

QRP with a character reference & your fanart. A friend commissioned me a few years back to draw the Chikorita evolutionary line all in one scene.

if you're an artist and you're seeing this, don't give up on your art. you create worlds and characters that didn't exist until you picked up that pencil and brought it to life. you create magic. ppl created programs to poorly emulate what you can do. don't ever forget that 🩷

UMM 🥹🥹 so my printer's not working anymore and i need to replace it now does anyone want one a fullbody skeb?

Well I didn't finish her yesterday, but maybe today will be the day. I'm already on to adding her ears, which means I'm very very close. #wip #sculpture

Make your bets! Will I finish the sculpt today or tomorrow? Only time will tell. #wip #sculpture

somebody bought some stickers the other day and that paid for ingredients for three dinners your money is literally more valuable when you spend it at lil bitty businesses

Today freaking sucked 😒 Sometimes, I really can't stand people. Maybe tomorrow will be better, idk. Just ready for today to be over.

I'm watching Danger Mouse, and I kinda want to draw Danger Mouse and Penfold kissing or something. Honestly I just want to draw them as a cute little couple. What do all think? Should I do it?

If you see this, post your winter art❄️

Getting so close to finishing the sculpt, I can taste it. #wip #sculpture

Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate. I hope you have a wonderful day with family, friends, and good food. As for those who aren't celebrating today, I hope you have a wonderful as well!

Don't fucking play Inzoi guys ffs If you hate EA so much you wanna stick it to 'em then just pirate Sims 4

Why have glass companies found away to make anti-fog glasses. I mean we have scratch resistant, anti-glare, and more, but what about the fog. Honestly it's a terrible nuisance, especially in winter. Glass making companies need to get on this, asap.

She's got furry pantaloons now. I'm getting closer! #WIP #Sculpture

Working my way up the body. Underbelly is pretty much done. #WIP #Sculpture

Both tails are done, now to start on the belly. Also I just love how fluffy looking these tails came out 😍 #WIP #sculpture

Artists! Please show: ✨ the first piece you did in 2025 ✨ your favorite piece of the year ✨ your most popular piece of the year ✨ your most recent piece

lol I fucking knew that little shit wasn't to be trusted. Avoid the new Vine like a plague, they just want a pure dataset to scrape.

I did a live mini painting yesterday on Facebook and made this Raven skull. My goal is to fill up the whole paper with mini paintings and film each one. Not sure when I'll do the next one, or what I'll make but either way it'll be fun. #watercolor #Raven #skull #flowers #painting #mini

Who else listens to playists that focus on similar thematics to their current art project? I'm currently listening to Greek mythology inspired music. What are you listening too?

Woke up way too early, so I figured I'd make some more coils and continue working on the tail. At least now it's looking like a tail. #WIP #Statue

The Art vs the artist's hand. Some people asking me how I make art with long finger nails and that's when I say it's easier with them. Also yes they are my real nails.

Tails have been added! Still rough I know, but there's a process trust me. Next I'm going to start adding the fur coils. #WIP #sculpture

that’s what I’ve been saaaayying maaan

Added the 4th head today. I decided to try giving it a tongue and a few teeth. Still have to bake it before moving on to ears and tails, but I think the hardest part is over... I hope. #wip #sculpture

If you see this, post your bird art 🐦 #birds #ducks
