Another study I did the other day ❤️ this lady's curves were so pleasing to draw? So soft ✨️ #anatomystudy #artstudies #curvyconfidence #curvygirls #curves #curvywomen #drawingbodies #artsky

My OC Xanthos with his cat Ermanos (he's that kind of cat that's an absolute dick to everyone but his owner) 💜 definitely missed drawing my characters! #art #artsky #ocsky #myocs #digitalart #characterdesign #cats #ocart #originalcharacters

First #art in months, woohoo! Proud of myself for picking up my (apple) pencil again. A little #portraitstudy to get back into the groove ✨️ #artsky #procreate #digitalart #characterart

coral reefs are one of the most fascinating ecosystems on our planet!! been watching a bunch of documentaries about them, so i had to draw a little snippet of one. (also a non-square illustration so i hope it posts okay!)

Shark finning is a cruel practice that causes immense suffering and a slow, lingering death - all for a bowl of soup 🍲 🎨 Just Comics #SharkAwarenessDay 🦈

An alert to all creatives using #WeTransfer. Basically, stop immediately! As of August, they will begin scraping everything you send for AI purposes (see the new paragraph in their Terms and Conditions below). If, like me, you’re a voice artist, they’ll clone your voice. Avoid at all costs.

Retro videogame inspired art, my beloved. #myart #characterart #highfantasy #devil #devilart #jrpg #charachterdesign

Im so sick of going to conventions and seeing authors using AI generated filth for their book covers. Instant turn off. I have no interest or respect for your writing if you have no respect for artists.

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references. Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.

Hi #PortfolioDay ! ✨️🩵 I'm Kerston and I do illustrations and occasionally cover design. I love making fantasy and marine themed art.

if i see one more artist call themselves "content creator" or their art "content" i am going to throw something brittle at the wall. call it what it is!!!!!!!! u are an ARTIST. u r making ART. im begging u!!!!!!!!!!

🌬 North, East, South, West A little art series I made some eyars ago. It was fun combining elements of traditional clothing from all kinds of cultures ✨️ #art #artsky #digitalart

Finished a character ref!! I'll be on team crystals this year on artfight 😤 #characterart #myoc #myocs #artfight

If you have no moral objection to producing your book cover with AI then why the hell would I believe you didn't use AI to write your gd book ✨️

check your values! illustrations should be legible and readable and should work composition-wise in both black-and-white and colour 🙏 i always use a fully black layer over the illustration set to colour layer mode to do this

If you don't know what colors to use for a piece, try out a random color palette generator online (e.g. coolors.co). Perfect for getting inspiration and trying out different combinations ✨️

Yesterday was the 50th anniversary of Jaws 🩸🦈I made a list to score, with 13 levels of stereotypes about sharks, I hope it is useful for those who want to create works beyond the fear ingrained by Jaws and seek new creative representations of sharks. #shark #jaws #jaws50thanniversary #jaws50

Such great loot! ✨️👏 Thanks for stopping by and getting my cat sticker!

I don’t want to be a content creator. I don’t want to be thinking about when is the best time to post or what is the best type of content to post for maximum engagement. I just want to be an artist and I just want to make art.

QRP with your header art ✨️

We do not support gen AI in the book, art and music communities. Ever. It has no place amongst human expression. It’s soulless, it’s theft and it’s damaging the planet. If you use it knowing that, you have betrayed your fellow humans, and I want nothing to do with you.

So that now makes Lena McDonald, KC Crowne and Rania Faris leaving ChatGPT prompts in their ‘books’. I’m so fucking tired, guys. If you don’t write, you’re not a writer. It’s that simple. Stop doing this to your readers, who PAY. Readers and authors deserve better than this. 📚💙

Before you assume someone has ill-intent, please ask questions. Offer a little gentleness, especially to people who are on your side, even if they say something wrong. This world is hard and mean enough, but we get to change that, one interaction at a time.

Your stories and art are worth telling and sharing. They don’t have to be groundbreaking or revolutionary. They just need to be YOURS.

Yesterday I had a little #art day with friends and I decided to pick up #watercolors again ✨️🐙 #octopus #animalart #marinelife #watercolorart

I know I bring up this elephant in the room a lot, but it warrants saying again because it's rampant in the writing community now: STOP USING AI GENERATED IMAGES TO PROMOTE YOUR WRITING! If you can't be arsed to hire an illustrator or use stock photos/art, I don't trust anything you've written.

Figured I'd post this little #anatomystudy here too ✨️ #art #artsky #digitalart #artstudy

Young Viktor My tribute piece for the Arcane exhibition @gallerynucleus.bsky.social

I had the honor of illustrating the Folio Society's illustrated edition Madeline Miller's "Circe," a book that is very dear to me and has been a favorite of mine since it came out. Feels a bit surreal, tbh 👀 www.foliosociety.com/usa/circe.html

Stop using ChatGPT. Stop letting GenAI do your thinking for you. They're making you lose focus. They want you compliant. They don't want you to think for yourselves. They don't want you to do anything but make money for them until you die. Don't let them have it. Don't give them what they want.

Signed. If you’re a European artist please take a minute to sign this open letter.

This very old post of mine seems suddenly resurfaced on Tumblr, figured I might as well repost 👀 Besides, my constellation knowledge has not improved since then
