Just slowly falling in love with this cute orc blacksmith I’m working on for @bettybrownie.bsky.social and their Veridius Chronicles (available at www.patreon.com/c/EliHunt !)

Anyway, can’t share what I’m working on now, so here’s some old art: a commission of a pet axolotl as a water dragon. I used to exclusively do weird/fantasy pet portraits and refuse “normal” ones.

Upset and discouraged because I just saw, for the first time, an example of AI actually doing my job better than I could. I’m a photo artist. I digitally paint over photos to make them look like oil portraits. I do it one brushstroke at a time. No filters, no AI.

The difference in time between now and I can has cheezburger Is the same between I can has Cheezburger and the Berlin Wall falling

-it got worse- Just as books should have content warnings if the dog dies, they should have content warnings if the horse is evil. Literally any other kind of creature can be written evil and I’m fine with it, but not the horsey 🥺

Hello! I am Nathan, a disabled traditional artist from Brazil I am inspired by my 12 kitties and 2 puppies to draw every day, I do pet and character commissions of all kinds! inquire within!! thecatfortress.carrd.co

Reading a book that contains a treacherous and evil horse and it’s very difficult for me to handle 😭

HILE, GUNSLINGERS

A thread about unreasonable photo-editing requests: Just painted a nice photo of someone’s three young adult kids outside their beach house. Mom wants both the girls edited to be skinnier.

All I want for Christmas is to learn to be at peace with the fact that my pet pic posts will always be more popular than my art posts 🙏

First, I stole his blanket. Then, the dog jumped up next to him. Nap. Ruined.

My favorite part was Hermes the friendly vulture 🖤

HELP I CAN’T DECIDE WHICH PIECE TO BID ON

Sweet potato pie is better than pumpkin pie. Fight me.

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

If you ever need help disambiguating remember that a weasel is weasily wecognised and a stoat's stotally different.

I’m reading T. Kingfisher’s A House With Good Bones. Thoroughly enjoying it. Following @tkingfisher.com here makes it more fun, because I can imagine how much fun she had researching bugs and roses.

*Looking at my pill organizer this morning* “Do I usually take my pills BEFORE I brush my teeth, or after? Hmmm… I’ll take them after.” *2 hours later, at work* “Pretty sure I never took my pills”

Let me get this straight: I’m supposed to leave this cozy creature, shower and dress, go out in the chilly drizzle, and go to work?

I have an incredible therapist who saw my ADHD, got me treated, and has done so much for my anxiety and depression. But now that I’m doing better over all, I have more energy to devote to ~imposter syndrome~, hating my art, and hating myself for not getting better at it faster.

There is no video game enemy scarier than those dumb floppy birds in Bloodborne.

That’s just rude.

OK, I’ve watched playthroughs of Demons’ Souls, all Dark Souls, and Bloodborne, and I’m thoroughly soulsliked-out. What should I watch next, while I wait for my Libby audiobooks to become available?

No Noise November. everybody shut up

Attention WA/Seattle area! Oscar is a 5 year old male (fixed) cat looking for a home! His owner recently passed away and my brother is looking for a new home for him. He's up to date on all his shots. If you know anyone who is looking for a companion, let me know! Boosts are appreciated.

But if I draw your pet it means I am now your pet’s godparent. Sorry. Tell them I love them.

I really wish I could show you guys what I paint at my day job, because I have been working on -the cutest- dogs the past few days.

This photo of Artemis from 8 years ago, sealpupping 😭 I miss her every day.

We shouldn't have allowed companies to make the switch from perpetual licenses for software to subscription based, we should have spritzed them with the water bottle until they retreated under the bed

Today's warm up🐔 Why drawing chickens is so relaxing for me lol Her name is Chryzantema (chrysanthemum), and she's my DnD character's familiar! #art

It’s official! We’re going on a vacation to Savannah in the Spring! I get to show my husband all the places I got shitfaced in college. Should be nice to experience the city as a tourist instead of a broke art student.

The unicorn listened intently. Somewhere in the forest, someone innocent was singing. The unicorn followed the sound, found the singer, and laid down with their head in the singer's lap. "bottles of-" The young orc fell silent, smiled shyly, then resumed singing. "Beer on the wall..."

Finished pet portrait commission of Gemma, Queen of the RBF! Some artists charge extra for certain markings, and I definitely understand why. Tabbies and tortoiseshells take a lot longer, because I want to get their patterns just right. Get your pet portraits here: ko-fi.com/rblaylockart...

I actually don’t think this way and don’t want others to THINK I think this way. It’s more like that meme of the knight bowing before a towering, lordly figure and proffering his sword. If I gift-draw your OC, I am paying you tribute. I would never presume anything else.

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh once again another job rejection has welcomed itself into my inbox, this is getting to be a v tiring tune

This is always a weird time of year for me. Sept-Nov 2017 is when I: -realized my husband didn’t plan to keep being my husband -figured out how to file for divorce without a lawyer and did so -left said husband, house, job, and friends, and ran back home to TN -started life over from scratch

I’m offering character commissions at a discounted intro rate! Any humanoid race or furry species, any gender, any body type, all welcome—just no NSFW. ko-fi.com/c/14794d46d5

Love it when I’m just sitting at work, doing my job, and Imposter Syndrome just walks up behind me and smacks the hell out of me

It's the time of year again -- time to do your holiday shopping from independent artists. It's more important than ever to support people actually making stuff! If you're an artist or craftsperson of any kind, please reply to this with what you make and a link to your store and I'll share it!
