7 DAYS UNTIL ART FIGHT!!!!! ONE WEEK LEFT. I REPEAT: ONE WEEK LEFT!!!!

is everybody ready for artfight this year!!!!!!

Suck it up and merge the layers. Art is done by limitation. Fuck ups are part of the process and the process is where the beauty is. Trying to be nondestructive/undo everything instead of pushing forward will paralyze you

Maybe this. I used to be viciously negative towards myself when I felt anything I drew fell short. (Which was almost everything.) I’m trying to work on it though.

Tracing is only "cheating" if you try to sell it. Otherwise it's great for: - practicing pressure control - training your muscles - learning new styles - basic line control - rehabilitation from injury - understanding model sheets - mastering new tools - 100+ years of animation :)

engage with art that challenges you

learn how to talk about art sincerely. read art theory, study the fundamentals, engage with art critically. eradicate the shame around taking art seriously and then do it. engage in conversations with your peers, ask "can you tell me more about this," and know how to answer when its your turn.

Today is my birthday!! Thank you so much for a wonderful year!!❤❤❤ ..a wonderful gift will be a repost of the works 🥺👉👈

Moment I think about sometimes

if you are a baby digital artist and you do not know about: -layer modes -alpha lock (sometimes transparency lock or opacity lock) -clipping layers -gradient maps google all those things with the name of your chosen software. your entire life will change overnight

Wacom doing planned obsolescence with a "Thank you for your support" on their staggeringly overpriced products wasn't on my bingo card but I am UNSURPRISED. If you too are in this position, allow me to draw your attention to what's probably your best solution: opentabletdriver.net

some days I just think about silksong

8 DAYS UNTIL ART FIGHT!!!!!!!!

please DO NOT EVER EVER EVER listen to those "how to make an OC that people will like" or "fixing someone's art" avoid them like the plague, be yourself and have fun there will always be an audience for your character even if it's really small (but is yours and you do whatever you want)

This isn't a joke, it's not hyperbole, this is what they actually said - and GN mentioned the same is happening to companies like G. Skill who have been selling RAM to consumers for *decades*

Anti-Prime Day starts…NOW! 🥳 Today through 6/26, enjoy free standard shipping site-wide, all while supporting local, independent bookstores.

get a hobby you can't monetize. anything.

hating your art is not a virtue, it's a sign of burn out or mental illness. the same way your muscles ache if you exercise too much or your stomach hurts if you're starving. learn to identify it as a sign you're pushing too hard or expecting too much of yourself somehow and check in with yourself.

Type-I Supernova SN 2025rbs in NGC-7331 - From Ryan Kinnett (rkinnett.bsky.social) - https://flic.kr/p/2rBK6rh

This "ai code/art is already everywhere and impossible to avoid so you should just relax about people using it" shit has to stop, it's not remotely true. Same exact shit as "it's the inevitable future!" or "you can't put the genie back in the bottle!!" We can literally do whatever the fuck we want

This is correct. The price isn’t about Valve. It is a wonderful little machine that Just Works, and its part logistics have been fucked beyond all recognition by our AI dipshit overlords. If you were Valve would you want this shit to be a thousand dollars

The last time I saw Earth. #Projecthailmary #art

yeah the steam machine is expensive, but the good news is everyone is making so much more money thanks to our AI-enhanced productivity

I hate Ai being used at any point of a production but I cannot understand why people think it sounds better to say that you only used it at the early stages of pre-production. That's the fun bit!! The ideas bit!! The creative bit!! The bit that makes your story YOURS.

I see some concerns raised about Godot's policy on contributions using AI. TL;DR: Godot isn't vibe-coded. As a whole, the Godot foundation and maintainers are fairly critical of AI usage, and don't make nor accept vibe-coded contributions. Godot doesn't include AI features nor intends to add any.

M33 Triangulum Galaxy, 2021-08-06 - From Ryan Kinnett (rkinnett.bsky.social) - https://flic.kr/p/2mgieU9

i love it when a book teaches me a new word, man. can't imagine not wanting that.

It was only a few years ago that I learned a lot of people get derailed/mad when they read words they don't know/don't know how to pronounce. When I was growing up I tried to figure out meaning through context and if I couldn't do that, I'd look it up. Never cared about pronunciation while reading.

You don’t need AI to help you “visualize” anything. Just draw a little wonky you fucking coward.

happy Indigenous peoples day :] marʉawe, i'm Wolf. i am a two spirit (trans man) Nʉmʉ (Comanche) artist. heres some of my fav pieces i've done!
