If art is your hobby and you do it as a job, you need to accept that there will be times (sometimes years) where you lose that hobby. I think it's really unfair that monetizing art is so often framed as "you'll never work a day in your life" and not "you might lose something very important to you"

Here’s some anime styleframes I illustrated for a Spark Mobile spot! ⚡️// Creative direction by Scholar #illustration #anime #animation #backgroundart #design

The new seasons of Bleach continue to blow me away in animation quality

I feel this but I try to remind myself that we don’t ever truly stagnate because we’re all constantly changing. So even if seems like we’re not making progress in art, just being alive and witnessing life changes us and this affects and evolves our art.

@treznor.bsky.social hypothetically, would yall ever go on Hot Ones 🍗

I joked about Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross scoring Intergalactic as soon as I heard the music, and surprise surprise they did LOL

Why are there so many new waifu games

gettin paid to draw anime boys rn, very cool

some gaiaonline requests i did awhile ago

unfinished from kat tsai’s class - i learned some really neat painting and PS tricks, but the subject matter bored me too much, so it remains unfinished LMAO

If anyone wants to give pointers on this, feel free! It’s something I’ve been wanting to color, but I’m not sure how to go about rendering the water, or if the shape of it even works. Finding refs has been tricky

Um wow... was not expecting this positive of a reaction to a simple QRT about Dissolve Mode in our Carol & the End of the World BG paintings! 😳 Since y'all seem to have liked that so much, I thought I'd put all the pages of the BG Paint style guide I drafted in one thread! 🥰

Miku!!💙🩷🖍️

A few years ago I worked on a bunch of illustrations for FFXIV’s Starter Guide Series! As a fan, this was a dream come true! (More on my website✨) #ffxiv #finalfantasy

My HS reunion was quite nice! I didn’t stay too long but I’m glad it wasn’t totally lame 😂

Just wanted to share pretty pictures of my steam deck

FF13 aged soooo well, just got it for the steam deck and this game continues to impress me visually 😍🥹 I never beat the original and excited to finally do that. Linear games is such a breath of fresh air these days and always loved the combat in this one

Hey Squarespace users! Did you know Squarespace opted you into being crawled by AI bots without telling you? I didn't... #AI #scrapers #bots

Just beat Eastward, very pretty game but gosh the combat was so frustrating and not designed all that well IMO

Fell behind so hard on the class because I was on vacation for a month lol 😩

Assignment 2 for Kat Tsai’s color and light class! That’s my kitty Mitzi 🥰

Value study assignment from Kat Tsai’s color & light class! The shot ref is from Jacques Tati’s “Playtime”
