Sadly, animation is the same. There is work, but not as much, and it's a struggle to just get in the door if you lack notoriety/good connections. Industry vets and new artists are forced to fight for rare jobs that only last three years at best, end in burnout, and are rife with exploitation.

Shout out to all the creatives making shit: comics, animators, movie directors, hell gourd carvers I don’t care, you do you. Our greatest gift as a species is creativity. Make it. Show it off. Be proud.

There's a share a green character trend going around, so I'll share an OLD FFXIV OC screenshot I haven't shared in years. Hard to see, but she's got deep green hair, and of course the green shirt of early leveling.

Happy launch day!!! 🎉 #mhst3

One last thought on jealousy and envy of more successful peers: You’re not a monster for feeling it. Jealousy is a reaction, nearly an instinct. It’s the easy way Being happy for ppl’s success takes practice. It’s a *conscious decision* you make over and over. It’s hard at first, but it’s worth it

Agree use the 3D assets however also use your artistic vision, photo refs, and human brain as a lot of these 3D mannequins are stiff and not exactly 1:1 to real human anatomy. Kind of gives uncanny valley when strictly traced.

Folks, listen to me. Don't go looking up what blocklists you're on or who blocks you, down that path lies madness, poster's madness! Don't do it! People will block you for any reason, or no reason at all, just ignore it. I always assume that if I'm blocked it's probably because I was annoying.

Well done, Grace.🫂

sketches of all my dragon ocs ✨

Slightly older, but something I haven't posted here yet. This was gift exchange art in a friend's discord of @shegoran.bsky.social's dragon character Ran. #art #dragon

listen i love ao3 as much as the next guy but ive seen people quit fic writing over the past few years because people comment and engage with authors way less, and then everyone still freaks out when ao3 goes down- if a fic is irreplaceable to u, let the author know!

!! PLEASE SHARE AND SPREAD THE WORD !! Friends Of Big Bear Valley need to raise $10 MILLION by July to secure land that is under threat of luxury home developments. The sensitive ecosystem of endangered animals and plant life must be protected!! >> SaveMoonCamp.org << #art #zigzart

For ppl who aren't aware: Old temperate forests are insanely rare nowadays and extremely important ecosystems lost forever once cut. They're not just "old trees" but intricate networks of trees, fungi and all kinds of living creatures. You CANNOT replant this!! Once it's gone it's lost FOREVER!!!

ancient who submitted the concept for salt: and this rock will be edibile, no, NECESSARY for life ancient who submitted the concept for slugs: dude that’s the dumbest idea i’ve ever heard salt ancient: you know what.

Hi, I have diagnosed c-PTSD and this is true and if you suck at tetris, any bright coloured fast game requiring rapid eye movement and decision making will do! it also helps if you witness something triggering and are trying to stave off an episode

Sketch for Dragonlings 💎✨

Can confirm: Once saw my girlfriend being allegedly a user, and she hadn’t even heard of it until I saw the notification.

The only thing you NEED to have as an artist at 30 is a blorbo you're deeply invested in, next question.

Just a reminder while this is a victory, it's not over yet until Discord completely gives up on the age verification nonsense. Don't resubcribe to Nitro immediately.

"You should just delete your account anyways." And risk losing contact with my friends who aren't ready to jump ship yet? It's already clear that Discord is buckling under the pressure from the backlash, the last thing we need to do is make rash actions that harms people around you
