hades 2 this week!!! wahoo!!! #art

Wanted to paint this dog

Freelance illustration gigs drying up. Ad agencies using Midjourney instead of hiring human artists. Costume design turned over to AI wholesale. Good work vanishing. These are the stories of working visual artists, who describe losing jobs, wages, and hope as their clients and bosses embrace AI.

my D&D party is getting back together for a Curse of Strahd sequel, I can't contain how stoked I am about it! It's been 3 years since we finished the campaign. Life got in the way for a while but now the stars (our schedules) have aligned and we're starting session 1 in couple weeks ahhh

boy im sick of all the stuff happening

Nevertheless, she persisted but she sure gets tired of being a person sometimes.

I love the smell of consequences in the morning. Thank you, @dragoncon.org

my ez illustration for memento mori volume ii! try and spot all the skulls i crammed in here

Please please please, do not tell a freelance person “you’re self-employed, just take the day off”. It’s really not that simple. If I don’t work today, I don’t have X no. of other people who will do it instead. I also don’t magically have more hours in the week to do it. Freelance ≠ part time

yeah

Look you just have to make the cool weird shit that excites you. You must. In this world besieged by bland, scrubbed boring, computer slop, you must. Make the thing you’re embarrassed to make, the thing that feels “too much” because otherwise we get drowned in a sea of cowardly work made by a button

Idk what it is always is about August for me, but the entire month feels like a Monday.

Happy second anniversary!! This game re-arranged my brain in so many ways, and it'll continue to inspire me for years to come 💜 #BaldursGate3 #BG3

I didn't think Kpop Demon Hunters would be my thing but it was actually so good lmao

Cover commission. Scorpion vs Sub-Zero, chibi style. 🔥❄️ #art #illustration #mortalkombat #digitalart

Summer night, bbq, with the gf and friends, staying up late playing party games and laughing until our stomachs hurt. Yeah. That's the good stuff. 👌

Sketches of my werewolf/bounty hunter OC. Can't wait to start posting more about my comic when I can. A lot of work to do on my own, but getting there. #oc #art #originalcharacter

life's too short to not be cringe about an elf OC on any given day

Disney, Marvel, Lucasfilm, 20th Century, Universal City Studios Productions and DreamWorks Animation, have filed a lawsuit against Midjourney. They have described it in the suit as a “bottomless pit of plagiarism.”

Updated logo, for business cards/banners when I sell at conventions.

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.

people might think creating OC lore involves a lot of thinking & planning, but in my personal experience, OC development is more like a divine vision from a god slamming you over the head with a mallet while ur doing the fuckin dishes or folding laundry

I'll be honest, I'm having such a hard time physically and mentally when it comes to art making. ideas but inability to draw, ability to draw but not for long enough to see the idea through, etc. everything being aligned feels like lightning in a bottle these days and work gets priority.

without downloading any new pics describe your gender

Normalize chasing your dreams in your 30's - - - Learn to draw in your 30's! Learn to cook in your 30's! Open that shop in your 30's! Write that book in your 30's! Start that podcast in your 30's! Pick up that guitar in your 30's! Do the thing in your 30's, or 40's, or 50's! It's never too late.

It's so embarrassing when I get consumed by a new game. Here's this computer program I can't stop looking at. It's all I think about. Can we talk about it again. I've drawn pictures

There's a bunch of things I'm working on rn, I just hate that art takes me so long, sometimes weeks for one thing. x_x My chronic fatigue and pain really impacts my ability to get things done, to the point where even sitting at a desk and holding a pencil or stylus feels too much. *sigh*.

I crave a consistent D&D campaign so badly... it's been years since I was actually able to finish one. :T

This just sparked intense nostalgia and I teared up. Harvest Moon brought me so much peace and enjoyment as a kid. I long for those carefree days. 🥲

I finished DA Veilguard again and tried a different ending w/ Solas [spoiler warning] where Rook fights him, and sends him back to the fade alone. And honestly to me it was way more satisfying. Sorry I'm a Solas hater, I can appreciate him as a character but he deserved that 🤷‍♀️

Fighting but they’re thinking they should kiss 😏. [WIP] #sketch #art #dndart #curseofstrahd

I do think it’s important.

Go make the art you’ve always wanted to make. Write the stories you’ve been dreaming of. Sing your heart out. Pick up an instrument & play. Do the things you’ve been holding back on because you’re worried about what others might think. Just do it. Do it now. Life is short. Life is precious. Please.

art goals for 2025: just post more. stop worrying about "finished" pieces. post doodles, WIPs, even stuff I think didn't turn out that great. be unashamed of what i create.

Lots to say about #Arcane: .... I started watching it when it first came out because I thought, oh hey, cool animation, which I always love to geek out about. But it pulled me in -

A number of artists and creators have made their home on Bluesky, and we hear their concerns with other platforms training on their data. We do not use any of your content to train generative AI, and have no intention of doing so.

More sketch covers! (I really gotta take better photos haha). #comicart #comicartist

Overall, a great experience at New York Comic Con. Here was our booth setup! Next year's gonna be crazy with even more conventions, but lots of cool stuff planned. 👍

Day 2/4 done at New York Comic Con. Exhibiting an extremely large convention is exhausting but also it has been a blast and I have met and connected w/ so many ppl and other artists, that I just haven't gotten to do online. Great experience so far. Now bracing myself for Saturday madness, haha

An encounter with the devil. #curseofstrahd #strahdvonzarovich #dndartist #dndart #dungeonsanddragons
