It seems many ppl still can't grasp that developing great female characters isn't just about replacing sexualized designs: they must have relevant roles and deep, non-stereotyped constructions too. And an artist can do a great job at one of those aspects yet lack on the other

If you got a blorbo you love, draw them even if it looks like "shit" Draw them everyday to get your fixation going, even if it takes YEARS The look at the progress you made from the very first blorbo concept to now. Be proud of your achievement

conselho importantíssimo desse jeito é mais facil a pessoa querer te dar unfollow ou block do que continuar vendo seu trabalho

we need to purge fandoms from the idea that being a "hater of things people enjoy" equals having more intelligence, coolness or success because it really doesn't. it just makes you bitter.

What is that that everytime I try to draw a kiss I chicken out and end up drawing something else

Neosnapaeth is my Void elementalist character from draw steel, here are some explorations of her from the sketchbook. Really been enjoying building characters in the system, thank you lovely game designers. #sketchbook #pencil #drawsteel #characterdesign

Show me what you can do with just a pencil!

I'm actually thankful for all the singers that refused to collaborate with Ghost on it's begining because it's crazy to even think we almost had a Ghost without Tobias's angelic voice

I didn't want to say anything, but... what about Jerza telepathy activating during intimate moments

I just realized that all my hyperfixations on these latest years are things that I like/know since 2012 yey

Wish you all a wonderful night and may you never have to see your favorite ship descend to the "bored-married-couple-that-used-to-be-passionate-lovers-but-now-have-no-interest-in-each-other-anymore" trope ♥️☕

on some level I understand it cause there’s definitely a place for easy, comforting books, my problem is when people run into a challenging, emotionally difficult book and make it everyone else’s problem that it made them harmlessly uncomfortable

but both as a reader/viewer and a creator I don’t want to engage passively with things I looove unlikable characters & morally gray situations & ambiguous symbolism

my frustration w/ fandom lately is the growing number of people who don’t seem to a actually want to engage with stories. they want everything to be fun or relatable or easy to digest. Which u know is fine, just read slice of life manga and watch blues clues and you’ll be ok

Lembrem-se. Se alguém usar alguma foto sua para gerar nudes por IA, você DEVE manter a calma e registrar tudo. Há duas leis que sempre podem usar em defesa contra isso: Lei nº 15.123/2025 - criminaliza a DeepFake Lei nº 12.737/2012 - Lei Carolina Dieckmann

Lembrando que o que fazemos serve de refúgio pra muita gente que tá se sentindo exatamente como estamos nos sentindo agora. Lembrando que o que fazemos faz muita gente lembrar que não tá sozinha. E lembrando que fazer arte também é nosso refúgio e resistência 🫂

1/5 Seeing some tech/ai slop accounts online claiming that AI has always been used in games, pretending GenAi is a part of that, when its absolutely not. Yes, AI has always been a part of games in: NPC behaviors, Data Mining, PCG’s (Procedural Content Generation) etc All different from GenAi!

I'm sorry for being pretentious but everytime I see people paying to "learn AI" I laugh so hard... are you really that dumb you can't even give orders to a machine?

the thing that drives me insane about genAI/chatgpt bullshit is that brother, the process IS the work IS the entire thing. no artist comes to art for the final result. the final result is inextricable from the fucking labor that came into making it

if you are still writing fanfiction the way god intended (without any gen AI in the process) i hope you get a million kudos and a lifetime supply of content for your ship

Lembra que a Sony tentou enterrar Kpop Demon Hunters por migalha pq não encaixava na tal da planilha de projeção. Não era "o que o público quer". Fica calmo e faz sua arte. Celebra suas coisas, faz do jeito que vc gosta. Esse é o nosso poder.

Esse é o grande problema da IA. Esse é o grande problema de pra onde esse mercado tá indo. Sabe esse monte de remake? Ninguém aguenta mais - pq foi tudo feito baseado em planilha e projeção de lucro. Não é assim que se faz arte boa.

Galera, segura minha mão Sente: Fazer arte baseado em estatística e número de mercado, o que "o público quer", é dirigir olhando só pro retrovisor. Quem sabe fazer arte é o artista, não o público. Se o público soubesse o que ele quer, ele mesmo faria a arte.

i just want to say: whether A/I becomes a thing or no, it in the end relies on the masses to actually use it. its up to us to refuse to use the tool that these big companies swear we would love/need despite never needing or asking for it in the first place. support creatives. support human art.

I find it annoyingly weird how the communities on reddit seem to be built around hating the thing they are supposedly fans of...?

The Frieren angle drawing challenge, but let's make it... ✨ Siren coded hehe ✨ #Ghost #Ghostband #papaV

The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.

dói no coração ver amigos queridos de conversinha com o chatgpt. tratando como amigo, batendo papo e tal. sem brincadeira, parece que quebra algo em mim

Another way to think about it is there are three standard shot sizes in cinematography, and while comics is so much more than film, knowing some camera basics can help: * WIDE: Shows whole body (inc feet!). Great for showing environment, spatial relationships, big action / comedy. (1/more)

you smile so wide, I can see the sides

Influencers de finanças (quase tds de direita) revoltados com tributação de dividendos. Não avisam q isso é só pra quem ganha acima de 600 mil por ano. E a alíquota mais alta (10%), só pra milionário! Se vc não é um deles, devia comemorar a isenção pra quem recebe menos de R$ 5 mil por mês.

i know WHY this is but that just makes it even more of a kick in the pants lmao

A very quick study I didn't plan to post but here we are

I started watching a duo on tiktok that makes Ghost cosplays (the band). I never knew Ghost had a lore. Now I'm obsessed and thinking about how when you love something too much and cherish it spreads and I think that's beautiful

I have been getting a lot of those fake commissioners messages lately and I wonder how this scam works? Cuz they are so obviously fake and always ask for the same weird shit I can't even believe free art is their goal lol

#3157 A helpful tutorial

"Not even in my wildest dreams did I imagine that one day I would paint a picture of hot Bowser for official material, announced by Miyamoto himself. 😭 I laughed so hard in disbelief while painting, you have no idea lol"

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

Now, more than ever, you have to be a weird little pervert who makes art of questionable quality. You need to be driven crazy by the flesh. Because, as we all learned from Cronenberg's The Fly, the computers are not made crazy by the flesh. They can't do it like us.

Real. One of THE most freeing bits of writing advice I ever got was, "you should be unafraid to alienate some people from your work. Trying to please everyone makes for boring storytelling, and that's worse than poorly-executed storytelling.

Lady of a dream I had.

Besteirol #3 - Someone needs theraphy (part 1) 🌱 I know Cobra's magic is "hearing" and not exactly "seeing" thoughts, but I'll ask for the poetic license to make this joke work.

A sketch from last year I found lost in my sketchbook. I guess I rejected it because she ended up not looking like Elza at all.

Not my picture but my god this EXACTLY sums up why I'm so done with goddamn internet discourse. Everyone feels they have to have a take. It feels like people are seeking out negativity rather than just... enjoying what they do like. I genuinely don't wanna be around people who act like this anymore
