Kids need/deserve traumatic films. Films that show death or lasting consequences that aren't resolved almost instantly. Fear, anger, grief and frustration should be part of kids movies. Kids arent stupid, they feel big emotions just like adults, they deserve to see those experiences reflected back.

I know this is probably going to get buried by the short excitement, but the outfit I wore today was kinda cute, and I only realised as I was drawing that it's so close to being Blitz coded (the og has giraffes instead of horses) so I put him in a fuckass romper of his own #buttscribbles

GOOD JOB! It's wonderful to have someone with whom you have a lot in common ✨ #helluvaboss #stolas #moxxie

Every time this goes around I’m stunned that there are still people who’ve never seen it, this performance is to drag what the Mona Lisa is to paintings, but maybe you’ve never seen the Mona Lisa, so today is the day you shall behold it

We've got a little over a month to go, so what is the season everyone is most looking forward to? I can't wait to make something for spooky blitz, but i think i'm most excited to see what everyone does for winter! #helluvaBoss #blitzø

i love how all the best art software isn't being made by big companies.... or foss heads.... it's just literally like... some guy who just got really annoyed and autistic about a specific problem. Like bro look at this www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihw3...

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.

Here's a closer look at one of the photos in the back! @ladyshadowdancer.bsky.social suggested it and I had to draw it immediately!! (even if I'm posting it weeks late~) Stolas and Loona's relationship is one of my most beloved parts of this fic! 😭 💖 I love them dearly! #HelluvaBoss

If anyone is getting smacked with this - just use deer.social or another alternate client. Bsky is just an AT Protocol Client, and your Bsky account is an AT Protocol account - you can use your same Bsky account thru another AT Protocol Client, no migration or loss necessary. Could not be easier.

I say this with gentle love to my fellow creators who I truly believe have no malicious intent but I vehemently dislike hearing/seeing an AI summary of my channel or stream when I raid in. Out of respect for your fellow creators I URGE you to consider not using FrostyTools/Tangia/etc in your streams

Going to bed. Post cow Stellaluna. (I thought the idea that she wears a ponytail to keep things slightly neater but her hair is so thick and fluffy it poofs out at the bottom anyway was cute.)

SFF, we need to talk. I'm not here to rag specifically on Bona, who did the right thing by going public. No, I'm looking at all of you. Or at least, 15 of you. Because this right here? This is buckwild.

@alexrochonva.bsky.social @justtheclippy.bsky.social A little something I did yesterday bcause it was just too cute. #TADC #CAINE #Theamazingdigitalcircus #Fanart

Look at the ROUND on this quail. It’s glorious.

Ouroboros #art #oc

Lotta people out there acting like "gatekeeping" means "you have to learn it." Art, programming, writing, etc are skills. They have to be learned. You not being able to do something because you haven't learned how to do it isn't those people gatekeeping something from you, you just haven't learned.

please understand. artists don't get nearly as much feedback (praise, comments or otherwise) as you think they do. much less than years and years ago. we don't know how much you like it. we don't know how it affected you. unless you say something, or recommend it, comment, reblog. anything.

Spindlehorse peeps! Stella here has made a feed list to encourage support and promote Patreons/commissions for those of us who have been affected by the policy change, so if you’d like to be added to the list reach out to them through comments/DMs and let them know! 💖

some tips for actually doing this: -shitty is better than incomplete -you are the ONLY one who can do what YOU'RE doing -people LOVE seeing the artist's hand in their work, esp in the age of genAi -the more you say "this sucks," the more you believe it. the opposite is also true

Rough outline for a dragon design, she pointy

The only reason you should boycott is if the union calls for one, otherwise ya ain't helping

underrated advice that i wish i'd figured out way earlier in my digital art life: if your drawing software lets you adjust your pen pressure so you can make more varied line weights without using a lot of pressure, DO IT!!! cut off the end of that pressure curve!!!

A new storyline approaches. Or an old one? Writing about the days when Half House became Half House is going to be fun for me. Brand makes more mistakes. Rune has to rely more on wits and less on godlike magic. Cannot wait to share with my Patreon patrons this summer. www.patreon.com/c/KDEdwards

both of those articles are about how discs are fragile and unsafe, poor for digital preservation, and they argue for either 1) a return of cartridges (polygon) or 2) true ownership of data without DRM & platform locks (gizmodo) but you'd have to read more than the headline to find that out i guess

This game gave me the gamedev bug. I love doing it and I'd love to do it again one day. I was in charge of the visuals here- the sprites, 3d models, and GUI. I also did a bunch of writing. Please give the game I helped work on, as well as the other games included in the bundle, a try 🥹

Stolas is really going through it in Season 3 huh... I'm genuinely looking forward to Helluva Boss in October 👀 Seems like we'll be seeing the consequences of everything that has happened so far! #helluvaboss #stolas

'The Chase' - watercolour on board. I absolutely LOOOVED painting this piece, it appears in my book Savage Strangehollow. The red dragon btw is the biggest dragon in Strangehollow, but every few years this big chap flies in for his crunchy dragon appetiser. #dragon #dragonart #reddragon #dragons

so to be clear, the city didn't "give up." the last time they painted over the mural, sitting city council members alexis mercedes rinck and joy hollingsworth personally helped scrub the paint off, effectively rendering hot rat summer an official city monument.

a small quick shoddy guide to help you avoid one specific problem in comics dialogue presentation. i'm smokey bear and this is my personal forest fire [tiptag]

my brother & his partner are telling me an insane story about this local deity called "st. rat" which is apparently a mosaic relief put up by some queers in seattle. the city kept trying to paint over it, but people would repeatedly just use acetone and remove the paint until the city gave up

oh fuck here's a shark loose in the eshop !
