She sees your fandom as affirmation, your money as funding for the harm she causes to trans people. It doesn't matter how you feel about her work, whether it was a formative touchstone or not. If you still buy the merch or hype up Harry Potter, you are complicit.

yes yes yes

hello fellow artists. google has fallen. pinterest/duckduckgo AI filters don't work. do not despair; here is a list i made of places to find reference images without having to sift through piles of worthless garbage: doodlemancy.dreamwidth.org/20757.html 🚯 #NoAI #HumanArtists #ArtistsOnBluesky

Commission for hellfarin (X) Thank you so much!

Today I want to remind you that your worth isn't tied to productivity. I fall into this cycle a lot too, but we have to remind ourselves every day: you still deserve rest and kindness. You're not a machine and you're allowed to just be. Don't forget to love and take care of yourselves 🧡🍂 ~ #furryart

'Wolf Dreams' my favorite recent woodburn piece, on a BIG slice of birch!

Hey guys so uhhhhh Groceries have become steadily more expensive and I've been feeding 3 people on half of a normal wage because I'm physically and mentally disabled If there's anything y'all can miss, please consider getting a commission from me or tossing smth in my tip jar: ko-fi.com/beachrrat

Just so it's clear. It's not allowing AI because it's trying to create a clean dataset for training AI. It's not because any of the involved parties actually care about human created art. Demons can lie to you. You have to rebuke them categorically, rather than fold when they say the right words.

If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features." There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

“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…”

Gonna like, try to actually post the stuff i finish even if its not my current fandom-- first up! Had the pleasure of designing a sona for the LOVELY @starrcrossrose.bsky.social

As posted in a few servers and was alerted to this picture earlier today: What they said. DO NOT FILL IT OUT, it is there to fuck with your artist peers and yourself, they (paypal) can and will abuse this and steal your money by banning your account

trans moments in terracotta 2021 (another part of my thesis!)

Home Is A People, 2021 my three-piece thesis exploring private, tender queer moments in transmasc life 🐂💙🦌💗

I just wish art by smaller artists got attention too lmfao

the only good thing about genAI is that it got me to really love seeing bad art, because I know a person put in time and effort, made themselves vulnerable by showing it to others, and is trying to improve. I value that more than anything now

I’m howling.

one of the difficulties I had with this piece is severe lack of references, especially ones that show a person half way in the water, and the view being angled (not fully looking up) It was basically a while bunch of intuition and just mixing and matching to get it right

The amount of people I know who have been laid off from games industry jobs and are deciding to leave games entirely as a result is not only extremely saddening (of course), but also genuinely scary. We have lost legitimately thousands of years of knowledge and experience in the last four years.

Don't mention NSFW and don't mention the word commission as well, to be safe. Sharing to help many. Keep going guys and be careful.

i figured i should make a post about this since its kind of important and i wanted to get the word out

happy transgender day of remembrance thank you for sticking around in the hardest of times. if you haven't, you are missed dearly please live 💜

Apparently P*ypal now asks for customer opinions on accounts sending invoices. If you are paying an invoice to a nsfw artist, do NOT mention NSFW in any way, keep it blank even. you risk both your account and the artists.

Let's reshare an old thread from Jesse Hamm's "Hamm Tips" account. Jesse wrote: "There's a tragic urge, lately, to add subtle shading to every shape; a temptation to over-explain forms whose contours already explain them."

Opened Twitter for the first time in a while just to dig up this tweet of theirs I adore

honestly with how irony poisoned shit is now, we need more melodrama and saccharine sincerity in films

I think something awful happened and I need a lot of time to process it

for a warm up I did a quick test of the frieren angle thing thats been going around. I think the original drawing implied a perspective/ angle that some of the versions i've seen haven't taken into account. My one isn't perf but hopefully it makes sense.

I don’t want to seem out of touch but I don’t actually understand the economy anymore.

As always, today is a great day to support artists, writers, creators of all sorts. If you have the means, buy a book, sign up for someone's Patreon, commission an art piece. It's also a lovely day to leave a nice comment, post a short review, spread the word about someone's work. Everything helps.

if I said I'll draw something and I don't, i wasn't lying I just failed lmao
