Sketch vs. Final 👏 I always love seeing just how different sketches are from the finished work #digitalart #procreate #canartist

"I have so many ideas lets work on this one thing" "Okay but what if I started on something entirely different though" One day I'll learn to focus on one thing at a time but today is NOT that day #digitalart #procreate #wip

Even self-care can turn into another stressful job. This is just a little reminder to take the pressure off when you can. It’s okay to just be sometimes. 🐾

Me each time at myself: Lester has enough fits HE'S SPOILED Gives him another fit anyway He can have a little treat, this once. #oc | #art | #originalcharacter

Share your knowledge if/when you can. Teaching other people how to do what you do doesn’t lessen your art - it just means more and better art for everyone. I appreciate when people are willing to tell me about their brushes, how they study, etc… I want to put that back out into the world.

If I'm going to make a self-indulgent comic then I oughta just be self indulgent about it 🤷‍♀️ I think formatting wise I'd be most comfortable with Webtoons? How do people find using/uploading to it? #digitalart #procreate #futurecomic #oc #FindingJustin

QRB with your most popular piece on Bsky I think it's going to be a long while before I can top the numbers of this monstrosity 😰

Horns horns horns 👹 Anyone who hangs around me longer than 5 seconds will find out I have a *problem* #digitalart #procreate

Show me how YOU draw armour ⚔️ plz Haven't done a full set of metal in a hot minute so clearly ought to fix that (at some point) #digitalart #procreate #oc

Obligatory birthday art post, happy birthday to me! It would mean the world to be able to share my art with people today, so any sharing means the world 💙

Good watch. Share with your parents youtu.be/W8Z3MfNpJpE

I'm seeing something about Netflix wanting to buy WB? I've read this story; of a greedy dragon hoarding gold under their mountain The dragon's never been "the good guy" in it though

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

Happy old year

❄️ Show me how you paint snow ❄️ I really need to paint more of it. I still love how I handled the accumulation on these twos' sides #digitalart #procreate #oc #canartist

if you're one person making a comic by yourself, don't treat yourself like you should function on the same level as comics that have multiple people working on them. your backgrounds can be squiggles and colors. allow yourself room to be abstract with details and give yourself some grace

Some quick messy doodles to help explore this guy. Going name atm is Justin. We'll see if any of this sticks during my "figuring things out" stage #digitalart #sketch #procreate #oc #personal #IDunno

Why is it... that when work starts picking up is when my brain thinks, "ah yes, but have you thought about doing this big project instead? Lets flood your brain with ideas right now for that."

What a great headline

I really do enjoy this sequence of doodles, it's a redraw of some older sketches form a few years ago when we were still discussing the dynamic between these two Lester might not be able to die, but he can still suffer :) #oc | #art | #originalcharacter | #friendsOC

[observing someone’s obsessive passion project] wow i really like whatever’s wrong with that guy

be messy!! draw for fun! #illustration #kidlitart

Been chatting with a long time friend lately and they've been making me feel nostalgic for an old rp of ours. Hope you don't mind me stealing Enir for a hot second @bestroy.bsky.social 🙏 #digitalart #procreate #personal #oc #ocart #rpcharacter

trying to switch off the AI bloatware that has been pinned to the top of every single menu in every single app

🐎 ALRIGHTY Here we go, comm done! I had an absolute blast working on this and gosh...the more I've learned about these two the more I love them. It's been a total pleasure 💜 #canartist #artistofbluesky #digitalart #procreate #commissionsopen #oc #commission #art

“And thus the heart will break, yet brokenly live on.” 🖤 It’s been a while since I’ve seen a gorgeous piece of cinema like Guillermo’s Frankenstein 🖤 #frankenstein #frankenstein2025 #guillermodeltoro

Busy busy this morning 💪😤 It's getting there #canartist #digitalart #procreate #wip #oc #commissionsopen

A new painting from the wilderness of Northern Ontario “ SUNRISE, LAKE TEMAGAMI “, Ontario, Canada, acrylics on canvas, 16 x 20 inches

Another one lol. His name is Talas...

The reason you see AI pushed so hard in products, ads and promoted posts is that they know people don't WANT to use it but they are desperate to recoup on their millions in investments. They wouldn't be over-saturating your feed with AI tools if people were buying these things on their own.

What was supposed to just be some painting practice turned into... One of those brain off and go moments. Least I'm feeling ready to go for painting the comm I'm working on now #digitalart #procreate #canartist #art

One of the cruelest tricks society played on creative people was planting the idea that being proud of your work is somehow unseemly and egotistical. You made a thing! You like it! You SHOULD be proud of it. Brag all you want!

Well put by @drrachelbarr.bsky.social

Why am I so against generative AI in games? Because I simply do not want my initial reaction to art to be one of suspicion and scrutiny, AI slop is fundamentally damaging my relationship to art and artistry, and I am deeply resentful that it is forcing me to be guarded when I should be wowed.

For #FolktaleWeek2025 I wanted to once again make sure I included some Canadian #folklore. So for the Day 1 prompt Night I knew what to illustrate! This lino block print illustrates the famous French Canadian folktale of the Chasse-galerie, or the Flying Canoe. The tale tells of some hardworking 🧵

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

I've been reached out to for a couple of comms and having been sucked into book world for the better part of a month (and change) I am feeling r u s t y I've been loving the challenge of stepping out of my comfort zone though! 💪😤 #digitalart #procreate #wip #canartist #commissionsopen #oc

lmao even the machine doesnt consider AI images to be art

Lake Kaindy is a valley lake made by flooding in Kazakhstan, whose water is so cold that it preserved the spruce trees that grew in the valley for over 100 years. Underworld environmental design drop for you!
