I don’t “network,” I make friends. Other artists are not my competition, they’re my beloved peers and sources of inspiration. We all have the same goal; to share our art. I’m not gonna corporatize my human relationships with them. I am in my sandbox playing and I hope they join me.

In Autumn

a moment's bliss #ffxiv

One thing you will never think after reading a great book or listening to a great album or seeing a great piece of art is, “I’m really glad this person remained cautious while they were making this and guarded against being perceived as weird.”

I have woven you a dream of exposing and observing.

How to Paint a Cat

Artists! Show what built your art style 🎨 I don't know if "built" is the right word but these are some that inspired me to find mine

Sometimes I am capable of drawing men

I accepted the label gray ace for myself and it has been such a relief... it's vague and broad enough for me to feel comfortable with how I experience things. Cupiosexual works too but I feel like gray ace gives me a little more room to breathe ☺️

⚠ PSA vgen reference scam this just happened to me (didn't download the file no worries) don't download .html reference files from vgen as for commissioners, if you're using your email instead of a vgen account I'd suggest uploading .jpg/.png files for your character references instead of links! 👀

One Last Breath My favorite haunted youth is back in my brain. sorry for the lack of activity i am currently besieged #art | #wotr |

Context: this speech is from SIR THOMAS MORE, a history written, as near as scholars can tell, in the early 1600s by 6 or 7 people including Dekker, Heywood, Chettle, Shakespeare, and Munday. It was never performed, because Jacobean England was a police state and it was banned by the censor.

Gustave Courbet appreciation post because what do you mean he painted so many of my favourite works?

Electricity is cool and all but can we bring back biphasic sleep? I’m wired for two sleeps and some light refreshments in between

Gender should literally just be a common thing that people *should* examine in order to have a fullness of life, even if nothing massively changes. It should be as common as developing a fashion style or a music taste. Deconstruction of societal imprint, no matter how “far” you go, is freedom.

They'll keep shrinking the definition of "acceptable art" until you can't talk about any of your lived experiences in a fictional setting

the actual eroticism of hurt/comfort is that the comfort is an element of the hurt. it is painful for those wounds to be tended to, it is humiliating to be vulnerable in that way, and they are forced to bear it. THAT is what’s horny about it

I've shared this drawing months ago on my Patreon, so I can share it too now ! 💕 I've loved the 1st season of Trigun the Stampede and I've fallen in love with Vashwood ! So I hope you'll like this drawing of them ! I've tried to do something soft 🥹 (They'll fight later). #trigun #vashwood #nsfw

Uh, no. It’s about the fascist bombing of the town of Gernika. It’s got nothing to do with peace or resistance, and all to do with the horrors of war and fascism. Every single thing depicted in it is in excruciating pain.

in CELEBRATION of my getting verified on Vgen, I'm holding a week-long 20% off sale on character illustrations! 🎉🩷 get yourself a custom, rendered bust piece drawn up for as little as $40! 🫶🏻 vgen.co/ace_of_dragons

reconciling that my skills improved and the fact that people who commissioned me before got "worse" work is hard, mostly when one gets confirmation of the second thing. "if they commissioned they were okay with your skills at the time" that sounds right in theory... whatever. enough negative talk 😔

If you're doing callout posts about artists creating fictional taboo content, you may not consider yourself a fascist, but you are one. You are their stupid tool at the bare minimum. The good news is you can stop doing that at any time

Reminder: You don't have to give right-wing chuds attention & you *really* don't have to share screenshots of the dumb shit they say on Twitter! We came to Bluesky to get away from it. If you want to engage, go there. Don't bring it here like a dog dropping a rat at our feet & expecting praise.
