Lil' Morrigan sticker for Dreamhack Atlanta this weekend. Come say hi! #darkstalkers

I was influenced by one of you on here to get this desktop cat bed, and they love it. AND I LOVE IT. I get to just reach over and pet their little heads.

It’s endlessly frustrating to see the value of art in society. How it’s used, how so many companies profit from it, meanwhile the people who actually make art can barely survive. Artists deserve better. EVERYONE deserves better.

I don’t “network,” I make friends. Other artists are not my competition, they’re my beloved peers and sources of inspiration. We all have the same goal; to share our art. I’m not gonna corporatize my human relationships with them. I am in my sandbox playing and I hope they join me.

Just sharing photos of my newest girl Estella. I've been coping with the state of the world by painting and enjoying my dolls. They keep me sane! #BJD #dolls

Remember to make art with your boner. It doesn't have to be a horny boner, it can be a brain boner or a heart boner. Make art that makes you happy and appeals to your own freakish sensibilities. This is imperative.

Finally coming back to this! Here are the flats! I love flats, but I'm a sucker for rendering. Hope to finish this before DreamHack. #OCsky #WIP

"There's a brush for that." "Actually, there's a shortcut..." "If you look in assets, there's..." Maybe I don't wanna go quicker! Maybe I want to quietly spend time with my art and enjoy the bond we share.

the video game industry is a mess

Cross thumb here!

I see that she’s drawn some ffxiv commissions, so sharing here for those wanting to avoid commissioning her by blocking her VGen.

I spotted this on Mastodon and I find it horrible, not least for the speed with which this has happened.

“So you’re saying we should bully companies that use AI?” “Yes absolutely.”

I am so tired of this conservative ass timeline we're living in. Like what year is it?? Christ.

I wonder if I liked it.

"ChatGPT is great for brainstorming!" Actually we have a tool for that already! It's called thinking. We use our brain. It's called brainstorming! Clue is in the name.

Create NSFW art Porn is not evil, sex is not abhorrent, pleasure is not a crime Even if you don't agree with all kinks doesn't mean they should be allowed to censor art This is why we have tags and the blick button, not megacorps deciding what we can and cannot like Always resist oppression

Practice

Facebook rage baiting me by showing me a post saying "AI artists are artists too!" I pretend I do not see it.

Hi! This image is going to kill me when it comes to inking, so I’m inviting you all to my funeral now. Anyway, haikaveh. Who knew KFC would bring me back. #haikaveh

Man. I just wanna commission art of my OCs. To see how different hands depict the same thing, with unique flavors specific to those artists. Each adding their own wonderful spin on something i created & i get to support their livelihood simultaneously. I wanna live in a world where that's possible

Little Melon! She’s a garden faerie who was born in a melon patch. She’s shy, but loves to watch humans and bless their crops when able. #bjd #balljointeddolls #dolls

This feels like a dream. Let me introduce Hua Cheng! I’ve had this doll before the official one was released. I read TGCF and envisioned this doll before the books were even translated and sold. There was no official look. He took nearly 4 years to finish. #bjd #bjds #soom #tgcf #dolls

Hey artists, I know it's hard to leave a platform esp if you have a lot of followers but xAI buying X/Twitter means it can use everything you post in its AI programs. Leave X. It hasn't been good for us in a very long time.

Not my usual post, but I went to a doll convention last month and they had a photography room, so I took some neat photos of my boy Ambrose. #dolls #bjds

Some sketches that didn't make the final cut

Artists feel pressured to make new art too quickly at the moment. Normalise artists fucking disappearing for months. Just walk off into the woods for a year and come back with a single sketch. It’s good for you

Here's your friendly reminder to remove the word "content" from your vocabulary 💁 you aren't making content for the algorithm, you're making webcomics or sculptures or illustrations or speed paint videos or whatever it is you do

My life is changing. Art has taken a back seat to my studies. I feel really good about this change in direction for my life. I'll always be an artist, and I'll still post from time to time, but I no longer feel shackled to the label "artist". There are so many other things I can, and will, be.
