Shoutout to commission clients who send crude mockups and stick figure drawings to get across the idea of what they want for their comm. You don't need advanced art skills to communicate concepts.

this feels like a universal thing i experience all the time lol

“Love it or hate it it’s here to stay” is a crazy thing to keep saying about a technology. If people don’t like using something it doesn’t have to stay we’re not talking about bad weather here

Creative solidarity means: If you're a writer, do not use AI "art" or AI "voiceover" If you're an artist, do not use AI "writing" or AI "references" If you're a streamer/actor, do not use AI for backdrops, thumbnails, etc. Never help AI steal another medium No excuses, no shortcuts, no surrender.

Sorry for the lack of activity, I've been really wanting to draw but have such a hard time to find a starting point. Daily life feels too stressful these days. I think I'm running out of steam a bit towards the end of the year 😮‍💨

The worker ant is celebrating her 23rd birthday! The best gift is a repost of my art 💋

In another life

AI has actively made life worse for literally everyone - tech is now more expensive - you cannot trust most media of reality anymore - programs barely function - energy prices - literal psychosis - your voice can be literally stolen for evil - more spyware but hey, you can avoid paying an artist.

This man is EXACTLY where he wants to be. #piparOCs #OCSky #werewolfOC

Snowy evening 🌨️ #arcane #Silco

friendly reminder that you didn't waste your year. any moments of happiness or comfort. any small accomplishments, they all matter. this has been a really hard year, and simply surviving is something to be proud of.

Me: *joins a lively Discord group for artists because hey that sounds nice!* Also me: *gets overwhelmed by the number of people there and the fast-moving, overlapping chats and becomes a silent lurker in the corner*

The handmade, human qualities of your work are more valuable than they've ever been. Don't doubt that for a second.

Repost if you're tired

I don't know who needs to hear this but sometimes a sketch is just meant to be a sketch and not a finished piece. Not everything has to be a "finished" thing. Maybe the sketch IS the finished version of that thing. If you learned from it, took what you needed, it had its purpose fulfilled.

sometimes we (i) forgot

Feeling a little art blocked as of late. There's just too much going on and not enough freed up time to cradle and foster my creative energies 😮‍💨

I hope everyone can remember your art is more than the numbers it gets. The internet is not as kind to art as it was a decade ago. I hope everyone can keep creating even if it's just for themselves.

If you're buying gifts for the holidays, maybe consider supporting artists, writers, creators. Gift someone a Patreon, commission an art piece, buy a book, purchase handmade jewelry, etc. Your support means everything.

It’s a bit funny to me when folks accuse anti-AI artists of “gatekeeping.” My dude, Midjourney charges you $60 a month for images, while real artists remind you that you can make it for free and experience the joy of the process. So who’s really gatekeeping?

🔹 Gilderune nurtured a growing endearment for his companions, though there was much too great a distance for them ever to clear. After all, how could any human ever understand the whispers of the unicorn beneath the moonlight, questioning "if only... If only... If only." 🔹
