if you don't like a step of the process you don't have to do it. if you don't like inking you can use pencil lines. if you don't like super rendered painting you can do cel style. if you don't like to draw humans there's whole communities of people who are waiting for you.

if you ever wonder what it's like to be an artist: you can draw your favorite drawing one day and then the next day, every line you draw is the ugliest line that has ever been created

pettiest thing I’m mad about w corporations embracing genAI is that they’ve historically always been obsessively controlling over ensuring brand guidelines are followed, but now as soon as they don’t need to pay an invoice to a human, its fine when their mascot has 3 arms

the main problem with video as a format is that it's too slow at dispensing information. I can read much faster than you can talk and there's no way you can address this without becoming incomprehensible to most of the audience.

"We use AI to generate ideas!" Oh? I use my brain.

never believe what you see when you flip your art that is the version of your art that lives in the mirror dimension

why are you as a man not out there spreading love and kindness

👑 MERCILESS PRINCESS

“This is for gooners!” Feminine sexuality and body confidence is allowed to exist and be represented without being judged by whether or not the most putrid men want to jerk off to it. Women do not exist for male consumption. We’re allowed to express ourselves FOR ourselves and each other.

new take on peter parker that his perpetual being broke-ness down not to simple bad luck but because he's a camera guy

If you got work tomorrow do not go to bed on time. Your job does not deserve you at your best

I also want to acknowledge on this fine Webcomics Day the truly unsung heroes of the webcomic world, the commenters. Thank you all so much! I don't always have the social battery to respond, but I read and appreciate every single comment on my comic!

MAMMAL BULLYING A REPTILE: Nice body temperature dude. Did the sun pick it out for you

soundwave: why keep starscream around when he keeps betraying you megatron: cuz he's funny starscream: hey did my poison in your coffee kick in yet megatron: i don't drink coffee and poison doesn't affect machines starscream: then who did i just poison? megatron: see?

my less controversial star wars take for may 4th: the lightsaber is easily the coolest fictional weapon ever created, a laser sword that you can make any sick-ass color you can think of there are many awesome science fiction weapons out there but none of them hold a candle to lightsabers

VERY COOL PERSON: It's four-twenty, you know what that means? ME: Hell yeah! [starts shoving blackbirds into a pie]

ChatGPT: you’re right you’re so much smarter than him. He’s so schlubby and you’re so suave. Columbo will never catch you.

"Fandom deserves to be taken seriously" I actually can't think of anything more desperately in need of being taken LESS seriously.

me when someone cites the deep magic to me even though I was there when it was written: holy shit, for real? I don't remember that part at all

“Why aren’t college students protesting” stories are almost always wrong (they are protesting), omit crucial context (they were brutally punished for protesting before), and somehow suggest that 19 yr olds have more moral responsibility than elected officials three times their age

what do we want? OBJECT PERMANENCE when do we want it? WHEN DO WE WANT WHAT

I truly cannot imagine caring about posting on the “biggest” social media site. “threads has more users!” threads is fake. get a life

this is what actual literature discourse is like now

whoever thought to add those top/bottom and side tags to bedsheets: you're a good person

any economist born after 1907 can't money... all they know is lower quality, fire employee, raise cost and lie

I still get the same thrill I used to get as a teen on deviantart when I see a drawing where the skills are developing, but you can tell they love doing it. The fundamentals are rickety, but they’re gonna be amazing in a matter of very little time.

echo chamber this bubble that but do you know what feels really fucking awesome? having surrounded yourself with people that genuinely care about other people, not having to hear stupid shit all the time, and not weighing down every conversation with trying to educate someone who doesn't wanna learn

DLSS 5 is the end result of trying to treat game rendering and game art as two entirely separate things. It's the same problem that leads to all those ugly remasters. Even if you leave the assets alone, it's not "the same art" if you've completely changed how it's lit and shaded.

A number of Jewish organizations are shrilly insisting that any criticism of Israeli genocide and warmongering is an illegitimate attack on Jews. At the same time, an increasing number of non-Jewish people are insisting that any attack on Jews is a legitimate attack on Israel. This sucks, man

People keep saying “oh so you want OPEN BORDERS” as some kind of gotcha and like. Yeah. When I was a kid you could just drive into Canada. On accident, even. It was great, and I think we should do that instead of kidnapping children. Normalize being normal instead of being kidnapping weirdos

Posting Manga Peach for MAR10 day~

"I don't want to have to explain to my kids what gay people are" is ridiculous. You have to explain everything to them! They've never seen anything before! What else are you doing this about? You don't like broccoli so you just refuse to ever let your child know about what broccoli is? Okay man

centipede: *walking by* Ariel: whoa what’d you trade

If you ever want to read a paper for free and can't find it otherwise, email the lead author and politely ask for a copy. You will not be bothering the person. You will in fact make their whole entire day. I have had scientists get so excited I asked they sent me everything they ever published.

...she had such good poses

I genuinely thought the “artists peak at 30” thing meant you shouldn’t worry about making something amazing while you’re still a kid and it’s still “impressive”; that most artists need to become a mature adult before they create their breakout hit. Sigh…how wrong I was…

People keep talking about if Bluesky is “relevant” or if it has reach or whatever, I don’t care I’m here to have fun, do what u want

💙 Eyecatch~

People can say it’s utopian or dreamy but it’s a fact that you have to believe new things are possible, fundamentally, in order to make them real. You have to make the choice to believe that more than this is possible & not be resigned to this being the way things have to be because it’s not at all.

large truck gets isekai'd into fantasy world instead of human it was about to hit, accidentally killing an important political figure, kicking off a series of events that will lead to a massive war

Over on threads someone just use ai;dr and we all need to adopt that right quick

Take me down to the Parallax city where the far moves slow and the near moves quickly

Feeling some kind of way because I spent the 00s being told that my political views were naive and childish And it turns out every evil person on the planet knows each other and they go to an island to plan their crimes like fuckin Lex Luther
