Very quick and dirty sketch of my OC Fennel! Would like to actually render this sometime #goblinoc #goblin #sketch #ocart

I did a little more on this one, I think it looks pretty good so far! Will probably finish it tomorrow! #oilpainting #traditionalart #nsfwart #painting #WIP

Nothin else for it

I suspect I'll get crap for this, but I do think it's something we all need to be reminded of, especially fans and creators of things.

Progress on a small piece I'm working on today!

I wasn't thrilled with how this was turning out and was starting to get very hard on myself while painting it. Trying to keep in mind though that 1. It was meant to be a practice piece anyway, didn't go in intending for a full beautiful painting B. I can always try again and do better next time

I've got a lot of big ideas for art that I simply have not put the time and practice into to pull off well and I think it's really big of me to admit that

Was honestly pretty siked with this one! Spent about 2 hours on it

“THE NON-ARTIST FIXATION ON HYPERREALISM AS THE PINNACLE OF ART IS CLEARLY PART OF THE REASON SO MANY ADULTS THINK THEY CANNOT DRAW OR CONSIDER THEMSELVES TO BE FAILURES, KAWAII, FOLK ART, DOODLES, OR OTHER EASIER ENTRY POINTS ARE CONSIDERED CHILDISH, WHICH IS WHY JAPANESE DRAWING BOOKS ARE BETTER…”

I finally got to play Expedition 33! Just finished the prologue and yeah I get it this game is already incredible!

I know we're going to beat them and going to beat them so bad there'll never be a them like them ever again; however, today I am just absolutely agog at the ocean of banal cruelty. I guess I'm lucky I still have a conscience that can be horrified by the confirmation of its cynicism, but Jesus.

“Content” is a corpo-brain term, makes me cringe when I hear it in the wild. You don’t make “content”, you make ART! You write STORIES. Its your WORK (and often play too)! “Content” is the noise you flick through when trying to find a SHOW you like, don’t cheapen your work comparing it to SLOP. 😤

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful. Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened. This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

wow! the breasts of a fictional character

There is no such thing as ethical generated AI. There is no such thing as AI 'art.' AI generated media is theft. Enthusiasm for AI is weird and stupid and yes you should feel bad if you've used it for anything. Give up on it, move on and do something worth time and effort.

After reading Carl Sandburg's "Chicago' poem in full in open court this morning, Federal Judge Sarah Ellis says this about our city: It should go without saying that is she correct & Donald Trump is lying. #chicago

I have come to realize over the last year or so that I am just not a fast artist I am usually lucky if I get a single piece done a month and honestly that fine with me

Genuinely, stop giving FNAF promo. He still gets paid from it all. It's his IP. Y'all talk about dropping HP but can't drop FNAF?

New awareness campaign

every time you drink water an artist draws boobs, go hydrate

It’s hard to convey just how much Chicagoans are mobilizing against ICE. Don’t want to downplay the harm, or make it seem like a fair fight. But in neighborhoods across this city, ICE is getting chased by people blowing whistles and shouting. People are running TOWARD ICE to protect their neighbors.

If you're taking to the streets to protest today, know your rights.

Remember folks. The original bluesky ethos by us bluesky elders (apparently I count?) is block and move on. Don't quote dunk, don't pick fights. Block, and move on. This is what made this site unpalatable to the right early on, and we can continue to make it unpalatable to them.

AOC: The problem is that the Trump administration, they think that destroying our health care, making sure that housing is too expensive to live in, that jacking up the cost of our groceries—they think all of this is about hurting Democrats. What they are doing is hurting Americans

It's worth reiterating that independent creators are getting debanked for the same content

Let me reiterate: that shit ain't real. www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/wome...

Whistling when ICE is about to kidnap someone for no reason is incredibly effective. They know what they are doing is wrong and will scatter in the wind when too many witnesses gather.

lrt THIS IS WHAT I KEEP SAYING TO PEOPLE, YOU DONT HAVE TO MAKE THE BEST THING THAT'S EVER EXISTED, YOU JUST HAVE TO MAKE. you will make it better than a computer. you will probably make it better than a large part of other humans, too, but even if you don't, you Have to Make It! quoth the Man Ever:

Posted a new painting on my other account!

The regime's desire for authoritarianism is bottomless, but their capacity is not. Not even close. They rely on bluster and memes to make up the difference. The threat is real, but less powerful than they say. Freedom-loving Americans outnumber them by a lot. Communities can resist. Like this one:

Hang in there, struggling artists

Found this on the AO3 subreddit, and I'm about to let it change my whole life (or at least work really hard to internalize it wrt my writing).

I am just so fucking proud of her.

Think I'm gonna attempt this! Might not get around to all of them but gonna do my best 😎😎🤙

Yo forget about Hades 2 coming out of early access Slime Rancher 2 just came out of early access! Let's fucking go!

"Now what do you have? You've been imprisoned in the fuckin' moon!" --me, to an opponent who can't hear me, after I cast Imprisoned in the Moon

Genuinely powerful words to live by.

I have zero fucking sense of humor about this rfk shit. besides the obviously gross misreprestation/othering/etc of autistic people it's catastrophic from any sound scientific POV. any doctor who consults governmental guidelines for anything at all under this admin is guilty of malpractice

I'm being so real right now, learn how to engage in media as art and not a reflection of your own real life morals. consume things that make you uncomfortable and understand why it makes you uncomfortable. Don't just base yours and others morals standings on the media you consume.

It's crazy how quickly I feel better in general after deleting the reddit app from my phone
