It mah birfday :V Level 35 get! Here's to many more heh

Persist against all odds

"Artists peak at 30", "30 under 30", "by 30 you should" ridiculous. Arts industries capital craves young people to exploit and burn out. It doesn't want older artists thriving and guiding the young. It also doesn't want artists to exist. Stop letting cannibals tell you you only matter on a plate.

It may or may not be relevant anymore now that the account has been banned, but I was alerted last night to someone impersonating me. So to be clear; this is not my discord handle. If anyone sends you a friend request claiming to be me, ignore and report.

Tapping the sign

Creators don't owe you anything. You are the audience, no matter how big of a fan you claim to be. You don't get to change how a story is told, and have no right to hurt the people telling it. Seeing my friends be harassed infuriates me, and anyone I ever catch doing that will be blocked on sight.

Here’s the thing and I’m gonna tell you: a lot of fans are why so many creators just don’t want to create anymore. And so many of them are oddly proud of their ability to bully. In order for cartoons as a concept to survive, they need to knock that shit off.

I've been making some D&D tokens for my next campaign. I've got a small collection of them by now... I'd be interested in hearing what you think of them!

How I feel drawing anything rn

You can completely uninstall/disable copilot on Windows. Your system and local search will run faster afterward. www.howtogeek.com/how-to-rip-o...

I went to art school... I had no clue this is what people meant by "warm ups". Like, a whole routine? Each part specific and functional? Dang. Probably would have less "forgot how to draw" days if I did these every time. I'm gonna try it.

Sorry to get radical but I don’t think it’s my job or yours to embrace, accept, understand - and certainly not to use - the thing being sold to us as AI. I don’t like any part of it, so I won’t. I’m missing out? Good, that’s what I want. You’re worried about me missing out? That’s fuckin weird, man.

This is far more than a claim. These are facts.

mom they’re roasting the US economy on mastodon again

New Year 2026 - Morning After Yes yes, it's late, but better late than never or something. Looks like the girls had a particularly good time partying the night before, but now comes the cleanup on the morning after. Some are faring better than others.

It's pretty funny that GoT fanboys kept ragging on LotR going like "we like the BETTER novel because it's DARK and GRITTY" and now even GRRM is like "this sucks actually I just wanna write about knights going on adventures".

bully them more

bite the hand that will not feed

Tried to have the calm discussion two and a half years ago. Sorry you didn't want to have it then. Now you get angry Fiona. I'm beyond done.

Discord posted an update abt their age verification - I feel the need to inform people that all of these things were already true last year when they had that data breach that exposed people's IDs. Bad actors got into a customer support account that had access to tickets with people's IDs in them.

This is just a dev rephrasing whats already been stated. Don't give them an inch.

Discord is already starting to walk things back a little, so people should keep doing what they're doing (cancel Nitro, leave feedback/criticism, direct contact through support tickets/phone/email/etc)

FUCK EM UP CHAT

THEY'RE BEING PUSSIES GET THEIR ASS VIA CUSTOMER SUPPORT

Democratizing the arts looks like universal income, low-barrier grants for both emerging and working artists, well-funded municipal arts & recreation programs, vibrant third spaces, and a well-funded public school system with progressive curriculum. Not a free pass for corporate-owned slop engines.

"I need AI to make art, human art is only for the rich and privileged-"

Feel like I'm becoming a 'Hater' and a salt-pit-dweller heh. I went to Uni to do animation. I so badly wanted to get into Films or Games. But both industries are hell, run by rich assholes, and I just have to watch concepts I love turned into mulch. So just... sitting and festering 😅 Bah...

James Baxter's Masterclass video about walk cycles is necessary viewing for a lot of reasons (not the least of which being that he's one of the last living masters of 2D animation), especially in how it showcases the drawing habits in his process that I was told were "wrong." (1/5)

Why Expedition 33 became so trend but the guillotine didn't when it's obvious which french product we need the most?

If you don't love your comic you can't expect anyone else to. So get that notion of "Cringe" out the door, bury any thoughts of "For the Audience", douse the flames of "Someone else already did this--" and go forth with all the WILD AND UNTAMED love to INVIGORATE your craft

"Slip the surly bonds..." #Art

Please keep in mind selah-sketches on bsky and selah_sketches on Instagram are NOT the SelahSketches that's far right pro trump pro ice killing people They are two different people Do not attack an innocent person with an unfortunately similar username

"Our standing rule is: If one of us brings up using GenAI in any of our work, then it's safe to assume we've been assimilated by The Thing and should be burned alive by Kurt Russell," said a game design consultant in the US.

Oh, fuuuuucccckkk offfffffff!!

I try to avoid blocking people. I find reading all opinions to be beneficial. They either bolster my own or prompt reassessment. People that post AI content, however, are blocked on sight, as AI does not offer an opinion or view. AI is white noise that drowns real voices out.

I'm excited to release Just the Browser! It helps you remove AI features, ads, shopping integrations, and other annoyances from desktop web browsers. This project includes configuration files, a simple setup script, and guides for manual installation. It supports Chrome, Firefox, and MS Edge.

I feel seen

Added it to Chrome and can verify it works, thank god

MLK was only 39 when he was killed. Growing up, I thought that was old. But I’m 43 now and I’m stunned by the burden he shouldered at such a young age. I’m also a lot more aware of how hard it is, at any age, to carry the hopes and dreams of an oppressed people on your shoulders, as so many do.

"AI is asbestos in the walls of our technology" There have really been some fabulous analogies for that garbage.

Stopped using stickermume years ago when they showed Trump support. And now look where we are 🫠 I use stickerapp now great quality 👍
