Exactly. I wish we would move past this tired subject, & stop beating down on those using legitimate forms of working that is as old as the dawn of humanity creating art. And focus on actual issues that matter in our community. Such as tracing copyrighted works, AI exploitation, and real art theft.

I loved movies from before I was born when I was little. Most of my film tastes today branch back from the 40's - 70's (Disney & Don bluth films, little women, The Dark crystal, The Labyrinth, Legend, Watership down, Planet of the apes, Wizard of Oz ect. Kids absolutely can appreciate older film!

Final colour design for shitbird :) Simplified for when I draw Path of Titans Comics, like this older one I've already made!

Finally it is done! The most detailed work I have painted to date. I am incredibly proud of this artwork. Thank you to Whitepelt for their amazing patience, and trusting me to paint this beautiful character! Added some closeups of my fave parts!

I kept seeing all these posts about how much people didn't liked the new Netflix movie "Swapped". I don't get the hate. Like sure the designs were a bit basic (but really nice imo). & the story was simple? But it was nowhere near as bad as I was lead to believe! I rather enjoyed it. It was cute! :)

good tweet

Just a heads up re: Commissions. I am currently in the process of working through all my remaining work to be done. After these are clear, I will not be taking on -any- new commission work until next year, unless absolutely needed. I wish to reset and breath this year & focus on personal work.

I wish carousel would die in the past where it belongs. And I wish coders/owners of these sites would just listen to artists who have to navigate social media's bullshit every year to survive. Its freaking exhausting having to navigate today's internet and the idiots that shape it. I'm tired man.

These artworks are still going to be keycharms in time. But I thought they would look cute as stickers too!

This song gives me such warm fuzzies, especially in the times we are living in right now... youtu.be/5yMMZQWYTZA?...

3:30am start and ready for the many hours drive to vend at The Curiosities and Creators Expo in Newcastle today! This will be my first time vending in this area, so looking forwards to meeting new folks!

Walkies badge commission for Janine :)

Heading to my first event of the year this Sunday. A little nervous as my hearts still being a pain. But gotta make money! Just going to have to take the drive easy.

A comic about hunting, and my ability to stick to a plan when a Titan is involved, in @pathoftitans.bsky.social ! #Comic #Fanart #PoTfanart #Pathoftitans #raptors #dinosaurs

just to be clear, everyone, when 8 pm EDT comes and goes, regardless of what does or does not happen, the president still threatened genocide and war crimes and we should still impeach, arrest, and try him

If you are in the military. It is your duty as a human being. To look at history & not repeat its mistakes. If the crazy man and his cabinet decide to go through with his crazy, genocidal threats tonight. You need to look within, & realise your job and orders are worth less than what's at stake.

I am currently going through my current WIP's that have been awaiting their photo snaps :) First up, Bluejay Kenku! While I will still have the normal raven variety available. I wanted to branch out and have some other bird species on offer! (More to come!) This will be a large, pose-able art doll!

I love crazy collection clutter. And my mic is not safe from this...

I think I have decided, since I had to cancel one of my biggest events for commission work. Apart from the odd one here and there. I will be taking a break from commissions this year into next. Once I have completed my list, I will be focusing on bettering my realistic style via paleoart practice :)

I have made the hard decision to only attend events I can drive to for the next month or so until I am cleared for flying/know a bit more about what's going on with my heart. So I will unfortunately have to miss FurDU this year (I will miss you all! I love this event.) I will still be attending =

Also had more bloodwork's done today, and my dr was fantastic and got me on a heart halter monitor immediately. I guess reading bullshit about AI is a good way to get my blood pressure up for the cause haha.

EXACTLY. It's just making emulating and faking artists works 100% easier for people on a commercial scale. Not only is this bad for Artists themselves to jump into ethically. It's giving "bad actors" a very easy and accessible means to do it via the Adobe product. Its bullshit on all fronts.

If you willingly use this. You have to be one of the dumbest shits alive. This company is no friend to artists. Its become a AI shill, nothing more. (How long till workplaces abuse this by feeding off the work done in house, then fireing staff to "cut costs"?) My guess is not long.

High detailed painting commission for the lovely ‪ @bleese.bsky.social ! This style of artwork is always a challenge for me as I don't get them often (but a welcome one!) I had a absolute blast working on it, what a fun theme!

Had a good long sleep! Thanks for the messages <3 Atm I am OK, all we know is that when I walk (at random times) I get rather bad arrythmia. I've had 2 blood tests and ECG scans now (once in Japan emergency), and not much has shown. I am booked in for a drs appt on Monday to get stuff rolling :)

Just landed back in Australia from my time in japan. I am currently having some heart issues (had to go to hospital twice now). So may be a bit slow on the posting for the next week while I get more tests done (I will be still working on commissions). So for now, ill repost some older art for you!

While I work on more charms today, have some old WoF fan works I've done in the past! I do plan to do a portrait series like the clay one eventually. & More detailed ones like the first 2 if I ever find time XD #WoF #WingsOfFire #QueenGlory #WoFClay #Deathbringer #DragonArt #WingsoffireFanart

Also got closer to Mt Fuji than I usually do (usually just on shinkensen between Kyoto & Tokyo). And it was a clear day and he was fully visible!

One of my fave finds today in Tokyo (which I was looking for) while travelling. Was The Japanese editions of Wings of fire! I wanted them especially as the illustrations were created by a wonderful artist I follow, @gomalemo.bsky.social . The internal illustrations per book are so beautiful too!

I love that a person who commissioned a icon from me once, said "thanks" on delivery. Didn't tell me they disliked it till ages later (by posting everywhere that I am terrible.) Has now added me to a blacklist here. Ive never understood this behaviour, it feels like boarderline harassment <_>

Couldn't wait to pick up a book while I was travelling, so listened to the audiobook first :) All done! ...I don't want to wait a year for the next one! (But now I have new dragon charms to draw!)

The main thing I was looking for was Nunobiki owls! I had a cup I picked up in Hikone last year that broke and I was hoping to replace. Managed to get a new one today and some statues!

Some adorable ceramic owls I got in Kyoto today ❤️ Met the artist who made the smaller one, and he was lovely! (I may need to go back and get another one before my trip is over...)

Hey all! I am in need of funds asap (I need a new intuos tablet this week). I am offering a sale on this large posable art doll (can measure length for you tonight), or the snake which is 6 ft long for $700 aud and free shipping in Australia (bank transfer preferred so I don't lose extra on fees.)

Was clearing out some files on my Ipad so I can continue commission work while I am away for 3 weeks soon. And I found this guy I forgot about! Sketched while flying to a convention last year in procreate :)

Almost done with one of 2 detailed painting commissions. I think i will be taking a break from these till I learn a bit more with personal paintings/speed up my process a little. They are so challenging for me, and i just realised I've only really done like....a dozen ever!

This is the shit they forced on Australians due to the kid social media ban. Now you ALL get to enjoy it yayyy! (I never did it, I just can't see NSFW stuff <_> )

Adobe may as well just have a AI generated animation, of a robot eating art. Shitting the processed slop onto a plate made of money, setting it on fire, and eating it again. It would be a pretty good illustration of what that company has become these days.

Moss Grats! As one of my earlier designs, I have a real soft spot for these guys. Half posable art doll, half resin sculpture. These guys have ball jointed articulated necks, and wired arms and tails for gentle posing. These 4 will be ready for adoption soon!

A fall beast, regarding it's reflection. This is one of the many new shots I got while taking my art dolls out to a local waterfall near me today. This creature is a large ball jointed art doll. And includes a feral Australian red fox skull, faux and real rabbit fur, and sculpted resin parts!

I like to remind people when I can of the incredible artist of "Poco critters" Caileigh Goodrich. Who I discovered around 2009. & I personally see as one of the OG creators of poseable/mohair animal art dolls of today! who's work is hard to find records of these days online.

I love how people who are so far gone with AI brainrot, can't comprehend people can chose to never use it/when its not forced on them. I dont even know if chat gpt is a website or something you download lmao. I care that little about it. I dont even click on the suggested responses in Gmail hahaha

This little shit decided to give me heart palpitations for 2 days. Flew from the aviary (has never homed before) & got lost and didn't return over night. Then spent all day today jumping from roof to roof not knowing how to fly back down... At least I got some nice photos out of the experience <_>

My first Etsy post is now live! etsy.me/4bXiVHh I am now able to ship to the USA and elsewhere :) Shares would be much appreciated!

Also man. It's stressed me out so much (cause I have always been a in person/event seller.) But I have FINALLY setup everything for online sales. I have a post buis acc, PO box, and a Zonos acc so I can ship to America ect. Once I am done with my promo photos next week. My Etsy will be OPEN!

Still one of my favorite things I have made for myself over the years. These are large silk faery wings! They are lightweight and comfortable to wear. I'd like to make some half sized ones in the future for people to buy. But time is forever a problem, I have so many things to do aaa!

One more photo of the large Viper faery snake art doll that I currently have up for adoption! He is around 6 ft long, adoption fee is $800 aud plus shipping. I will be placing him on Etsy soon if he does not sell privately :)

Kira is finally 100% back to her normal (driving me insane with her energy <3) self. The antibiotics seem to have really dealt with the swelling! Vet said we just now need to wait to see if there's a relapse. If there is, its most probably a unseen tooth issue and she will need more tests.

My next dino charm for today, Steggo! I don't think he's happy about being confined to a square... #Stegosaurus #PoTfanart #Pathoftitans #Dinosaur
