Learning how to make art of any kind is difficult because amount of inertia you need to overcome to be self-sustaining. If you ever want to be good at a creative field you need to do that craft to the point where it becomes second nature

Got home from magfest, fun as always but damn i need to sleep for like a week

Maybe I'm missing something but the Isabelle mod discourse seems such a nothing burger. OP could stand not to post through it but people attacking her character over something this innocuous is bonkers. The way people be posting about it would make you think she killed someone's dog

Gonna be at magfest at the end of the week 🎉

now more than ever:

Maduro was a dictator however that doesn't magically make what the US did this morning right. Speaking as an American whose familiar with US interventionism, they're focusing on him so they can manufacture consent on occupying Venezuela and extracting resources

Finished Unbeatable. I need to chew on that for a minute because I don't get everything it's trying to say but damn that one of those things you love with your heart first and foremost. Really powerful stuff.

So for the last little song snippet of 2025, I figured I'd end things on a upbeat note with "Spacewalking with You." This is probably the most fun track sonically I've done in a minute and I'm pretty proud of the retro sci-fi vibe I was able to pull off with the chords. Art by halcyotis

I'll be completely real 2025 was a dogshit year for a bunch of personal reasons and frankly I don't have high hopes for 2026 either.

LRT people need to get off twitter like today

Tales from the Other Site: Over the last few days, people have learned Grok can generate a near-pornographic image of anyone by asking it change minute details of an image, then adding "put them in a microbikini" or "turn them around" to show their ass. This is happening to most women on the site.

Today is the last day that you can repost this image

happy new year mint blancmanche #galaxyangel

Another here's another new one from Vast Error Vol.6, One Troll's Scrap is Another Troll's Mecha. I remember this being one of my favorites from the batch of songs I wrote in 2024 and am super excited that the full version is finally out. Art by @princepeachu.bsky.social

So I finally have the time to do promo on some of the songs I put out for Vast Error Vol.6. First a snippet of the song "Cure For What Ails You" which is a collab between me and @dbnet18.bsky.social. If you like kinda whimsical orchestral music, give this a listen. Art by @bakudadadan.bsky.social

My track from @umspaf.bsky.social 's art-first album Fondly Regard Illustration is now up on Youtube and Soundcloud! 🎨 YT: www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2ew... 🎨 SC: soundcloud.com/tee-vee-nova... 🎨 Full album on Bandcamp: unofficialmspafans.bandcamp.com/album/fondly...

For all the newcomers here: please post regularly. I'm tired of dudes migrating here, posting once every other month, and then going back to Twitter complaining that Bluesky is dead. Please repost your friends' stuff too.

I'm pretty confident that I won't be listening to any more new music this year but here were some of my favorite that I listned to for the first time.

Seeing people in the comments saying that To a T was unfun and essentially that he deserves this if he can't make a good game. Gamers, I don't know how else to say this, artists are not supposed to be punished with financial ruin for making imperfect art. That's such a fucked up idea you have

Can't be understated how much digesting a wide variety of media can help with creative inspiration, and if you don't know where to look, seek out the artists behind the stuff you like and see what inspired them! Without much digging you'll find a whole network of things to check out.

Repealing Section 230 would chill free speech by allowing platforms, not users, to be held responsible for what its users say. Platforms will become much more censorious over what its users can post. This is extremely bad They're trying to rush it. Call your reps, don't let them

🚨🚨 Tomorrow, a House Energy & Commerce subcommittee is voting on passing KOSA & several other age verification bills. We need to spread mass opposition now. We cannot allow this to pass. We have to drive mass calls into congress NOW Call 202-224-3121 www.badinternetbills.com

There's got to be a way to refute AI music without codifying live or performed music as somehow more "real" then sequenced music programmed on a computer. It's like saying painting on a canvas is somehow more real than drawing in CSP because AI art is made digitally

I have drawn the track art for 'Volcanic Viper' in #VastError Volume 6! It's been a hot minute since I drew Vilcus, but I'm really happy to have been able to for this!!

had the LOVELY opportunity to do track art for #VastError volume 6 with @fishtnp.bsky.social!! fish's lines, my colors🧟💙🪩

It was the Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Anniversary the other day, 8 years already! A big thank you to one of the games most precious to me #XenobladeChronicles2

Completely forgot to do this because it was midnight when I got back home but I'm on the new vast error album. I did a whole 7 songs for this and I'd appreciate it if you gave it a listen.

VAST ERROR. VOLUME 6. OUT NOW. vasterror.bandcamp.com/album/vast-e...

My track art for #VastError Volume 6! I knew I had to do my pixel art for the Cave Story-like track, Blood Packt! Then, I also had a clear vision for Sparks in the Powder Keg. I’m just a big fan of the Skaia flashback. It feels great to have the album out!

halloooooo i did track art for ve once again!!! this time depicting cadlys~ please give the album a listen if you can! #VastError #RanBakudraws

FUCK THIS SHIT CALL UR REPS AND SENATORS this all needs to go back to the dirt where it came from. I wish I could do more but I dont live in the USA. if you get these shot down, you're not just helping the USA, you're helping the whole world

I think the thing that a lot of well intentioned artists miss when they say "pick up a pencil" in response to AI shit is that actually trying to learn to draw (or do any artform really) is actually quite difficult.

Surprise. We're so back

It's the last month of the year so it's time for some of my favorite albums from 2025

What a great headline

Can you hear that? Sounds like the next train's arriving. [ DECEMBER 5TH ]

I haven't seen this talked about much on Bluesky, probably because there's like near zero hip-hop representation on this website and I feel a good amount of people would pearl-clutch about copyright infringement. But this is another important wedge between Spotify and artists

They added the lesbians from the sonic comic in the new sonic racing game? Is this their first game appearance?

It's been a week and a bit since I beat Trails into Reverie and the battle theme from Rean's route has been stuck in my head, so I decided to cover it and use it as an excuse to work in PxTone again! Check it out on my YouTube here! youtu.be/GWcFBMPg-Eo?...

Thinking about Left 2 Die. I don't get my tracks remixed often but know that I love it when I do

somehow this doodle i did at like 2am popped off on the other site

Why are we re-litigating Hamilton discourse in 2025? I agree that it's basically propaganda but surely there's a way to talk about that without being the world's most condescending poster about it.
