Talent does not exist. While everyone has different attributes that may help or hinder any specific endeavour, no one is born good at things (I mean have you ever met a baby?) What talent is, is a mix of pursued interest and cultivated predispositions

Friendly reminder that using AI for concept art is STILL replacing artists. Any company that thinks this is acceptable is not worth shit. Pay your fucking concept artists.

My first #VGenComm was made into its Timelapse! Please enjoy The Dine-In Dash starring Cocoa the Cat! #digitalart #procreate OC/Commissioner: @lorienstarz.bsky.social

Lots of fandoms have ruined some media for me, whether it be characters who I liked quite a bit, to ones I’ve made OCs for… and it genuinely sucks… I miss drawing FNAF, Steven Universe, Sonic, Undertale/Deltarune,and so many more things. I just feel sick at my stomach to draw some because of some bs

I do participate in #yumeshipping , tho I don’t really have too much artwork of mine…My yumeship is with Dyle Timesly from Dandy’s World…and I made a WIP #animation to a cover of “Sway” (My OC Clayn is no longer a DWOC, I’ve written original stuff, but there’s always a place for Dyle lmao)

#VGenComm My buddy @lorienstarz.bsky.social commissioned me on VGen to draw their cute OC Cocoa in the style of a Dandy’s World Poster/Character! Made in #procreate TT: 5hrs (2 days)

Thanks to a buddy of mine, I'm now available on Vgen! You can find my commissions there and support me by giving me a follow as well! vgen.co/RavenDawnStu... It would help a lot especially with a lot going on right now. #VGenComm #Vgen #grandopening #commissionsopen #commissions

I got into my Game Design program! I’m so excited, just need to gather up a few more things and I’m off! I’m so happy 😭✨

I’ve known I’ve wanted to be an artist since I was little, however my love for Game development didn’t come to life until middle school where I learned and saw how small developers (Fnaf & Stardew as the biggest sparks of encouragement) were making games! Now I’m learning UE5 w/ ~4 projects I.P.

Is it just me, or does anyone else get irrationally angry whenever you see some app or website suddenly introduce yet another "NEW AND FANCY AI tool" that no one asked for and/or wants?

I’m not on enough AI Hater lists. I want them aaaaaalllllllll

On my #indiedev journey, I’ve had to learn a lot of things, and hell I’m still learning everytime! From Unreal Engine for Gameplay & UI/Level Design, to Blender for Character Modeling/Rigging/Animation, it’s been absolutely insane! #gamedev #learning #WIP #charactermodeling #blockouts #projects

I appreciate my friends very much! Especially the ones who helped me get enough for my bills for the next two months. It’s been a really big help, and getting a ton of stress off my back. I love every single one of you! Even those who are just there for me at my worst, I love you all! 🥹❤️✨

What flavor is your OC?

Flumbo was apparently based on a superhero… I got ✨inspired✨ #gartenofbanban #flumbo #fanart #humanart #noai #superhero

It's happening. Please call your reps and yell about SCREEN, KOSA, and IODA

Welp not seeing this movie now.

I’m officially ✨35%✨ through my Unreal Coarse! I’m learning so much, and understanding some of my game dev friends’ pain with the software! It’s hard, but I enjoy hard work! Onto Lecture 97! Woohoo! 🥳

So when you guys do you daily calls today you should ask mastercard what illegal adult content they found on these content creation platforms. Tell them to make names. When they give you the runaround say "but what have you found that's illegal". They won't because there was never an investigation

KOSA is back. This is the internet censorship bill! And it's not just coming for SWers, it'll be coming for all LGBTQ content, because the people in charge view LGBTQ people as inherently pornagraphic! We must push back even harder than we did last time we killed this bill 🔥

Spooky ending to a Hide & Seek game! 😈 #oc #gartenofbanban #doodle #sketch #indiegame #spooky #digitalart #art

Another Banban piece, but it’s based on what I’d think a Hellish Flumbo might look like! 💙💛#gartenofbanban #mascothorror #digitalart #hellish #angelic

Why is there so many of these type of articles all the time........

When I talk about my opposite and naked hostility toward AI, people will point to emergent technology in the past that disrupted. But the thing is were I there at the time, I would have been an opponent of that too. This does not mean I am anti-technology, or didn't want the tech to develop. 🧵

Artist funks suck, so I changed gears and I’m super proud of this! She’s a Baphebabe! Definitely will continue using this art process! ❤️🖤 #goatgirl #baphemet #art #digitalart #burnoutrelief #newart #smallartist

These are being overhauled! At least the teasers themselves! Designs may change slightly! I’m developing a new style I’m enjoying a lot! #projectrestoration #indiedev #amatuer

So manyyy notes! I’m currently doing a course on Game development specifically with #unrealengine so I can make a game! ✨Game development is my passion✨ (Blame the Euphoric Bros, they inspired me to be a Game Dev Gremlin! 🩵💜)

If you use chatgpt you're stupid. It's confirmed

I did my best to compile as many protest safety notes as possible into a one page foldout zine! Coincidentally…it seems the file has breached containment…like it’s available for anyone to print or hand out 👀⚖️ toonyart.com/s/PSZine.pdf

I’m re-doing my commission sheet, because I’ve dealt with on-and-off situations that lead to me questioning my prices. I’m too old to be insecure about my stuff! I know my art is good, my problem is showing it!! Anyways I finished my first ever Lego set that I found marked down at GameStop! #ramble

I’ve seen an uptick in toxic, rude, obnoxious, and negative comments lately, perhaps stemming from some users coming to Bsky after the outage on X. Turn that negative energy into something positive! Do art. Check in on your friends. Be kind. Mean spirited replies will earn you an immediate block.

Learning many things is a pain in the ass, but genuinely I enjoy that struggle just to triumph on the otherside of something. My problem is overloading my brain, I can’t learn everything… BUT I like doing things myself. Mental health go brrr.

So…about AI’s energy use… “…to create a five-second video, a newer AI model uses ‘about 3.4 million joules, more than 700 times the energy required to generate a high-quality image’. That's the equivalent of running a microwave for over an hour.”
