Make mistakes, often. Draw “ugly” things. Draw shitty thumbnails of art ideas with little notes so you don’t forget them. Study life vigorously. Take breaks. Don’t expect a smooth ride, allow yourself to get frustrated during, you’ll get there! Don’t give up! And, most importantly. Draw for joy.💖

A little ink sneak peek for you! Working on a very soft Victorian era t4t illustration for @taplingzines.bsky.social We’ve Always Been Here zine💖 Give them a follow, this zine is going to be absolutely stunning and filled with gorgeous artwork from so many incredible artists! #art #t4t

I play Minecraft with my 9 year old nephew and left him a chest of items when I had a good mining run, logged in to this and the note with it 🥺💖 “Thank you uncle all this stuff is for you” (the cuteness doesn’t translate well) Made me go “Ah. The world will be alright after all.” #minecraft

Soup would continuously try to lick his beard, and Raiden would respond like any level-headed adult would. 😆 #raiden

got around to scanning THE LONG DARK, a riso mini about a knight navigating the perils of the mega dungeon he’s taken refuge in. will share a couple pages

Tentatively going back to work today, recovery is now finally reaching stages where I am doing better 🔥 Set a timer so I don’t immediately overdo it, starting with admin stuff and some project management, planning out editing audio for @idjithourpod.bsky.social and zine submissions, feels good!

Put on my pyjama jacket (it’s a jinbei set from the softest padded cotton, 10/10 would recommend in this frosty weather) without the Recovery Binder from Hell this morning and man. Wow. That hits different. That lit up my entire nervous system in euphoric delight.

Silly little recovery craft projects help make things better, like looking for a yarn that matches with my Feileadh Mòr (great kilt) so I can knit and felt my own beret 🤣 Such a satisfying color match, can’t wait to make a cunty little hat (wish me luck on the felting process lmao) #crafting

Mental health walk activities 😈⛄️

Literally a publication for eight-year olds 40 years ago

Haven’t seen this much snow in a while

i forgot to post the little Krem thirst i did for a surprise Krem Day in mid December! #krem #cremisiusaclassi #dragonage #dragonageinquisition #dai

As my third week in topsurgery recovery is coming to a close, I’m considering more and more to make a free zine that focuses on the things they DON’T tell you about recovery. Especially as my own is wildly off the rails (I am okay, don’t worry) and not following any of the given “standard” -

One day something will happen — a wedding, a graduation, a job promotion, Jake Paul getting knocked out, Andrew Tate getting knocked out the next day — and you’ll want the right outfit to celebrate. Buy that special outfit now, so you’re ready when that next unexpected moment arrives.

Hello hello ! I finally took some time to put my 20+ scale brushes for Procreate on Gumroad ! They're 5$ but you can also get the free pack with 6 brushes inside ! ✨️🐍 kedeos.gumroad.com/l/scales

Despite the horrors, art happened - mainly of knight bara sort! [ #artsummary2025 ]

DnD character sheet ready. TrueRef: real references for real artist.

This is so important. I see this, and I see and feel hope.

#artvsartist In 2025 I tackled big mental health stuff. As a result my creativity sparked back up, and I dove head first back into the joy of creating that I'd been missing so deeply in 2024. Big plans ahead! I've started working on a long form comic - I'm excited to see where that takes me 👀

Hi, #PortfolioDay I'm Kova, freelance fantasy artist from Poland with passion for nature themes and folklore🌿 ✉️ [email protected] Portfolio: cara.app/twoshortswords #art

Hello #PortfolioDay ✨ I'm Tkacz, fantasy illustrator inspired mostly by ttrpgs. I love to pain with vibrant colours to tell character's story. I'm looking for freelance work, both commercial and private. I would love to work on ttrpgs, tcgs and books projects. ✉️[email protected]

Hey, my PC is in a very bad state, it crashes so often that I can't even draw normally and it needs an urgent repair, which is not cheap. Opening 2 fullbody commission slots. Price - $200 P❤️ypal. I will draw - OCs, fanart, nsfw. I won't draw - furry, robots. DM me if you're interested!

Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAI is. GenAI is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart. But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.

Let me test the waters.. Hello. I'm Caleb. Mixed southeast asian trans guy just wanting an audience for his art. I hope I can find it here 🕯

commission work 🖤🗡️

Yesssss. Push back as hard and vocally as you can. Cast it into the fire. Destroy it. We have power. Make genAI use and implementation synonymous to untrustworthy and scumbag behavior.

this year has been...a year, but art was made and i discovered my love for knights 🌿✨⚔️ [ #artvsartist #artvsartist2025 ]

Very much waiting for the swelling in my dominant arm to go down a bit more (they put the thing for fluids and anesthetics there rip) so I can enjoy some light sketching and painting again, but other than that day 6 feels like I’m over the peak of the most pain (let’s hope!)

If it bleeds we can kill it

I don’t make art to be exponentially more creative, but because if I don’t, my soul will rip itself from my being and launch itself into the atmosphere. The hours, days, weeks are my happy place, calm, therapy. Building skill drives me forward, its rewards are nurturing. To make art is to be human.

Would you like to know how to make a zine? Here's easy step-by-step instructions on how to make your own without the use of a computer by @thorazos.bsky.social

Why does this make me think about @killjamesbond.bsky.social

I can’t wait to have RAM space in my brain freed up after this goddamn surgery so I can think and feel again and thus return to making art 😭
