Added this bear into this fantasy scene. See if you can spot him! (Hint: you may need to click on the picture to see the full image. 😉) #ArtSky #fantasy #medieval #bears #wildlife #mountains

I keep wanting to post more art, but freaking fear of AI thieves sometimes, or just art thieves in general gets me way too paranoid.

“I’m thinking of getting rid of Netflix, and just keeping Prime.” That’s not the morality flex you think it is, and you should be paying more attention. For the record my issue here is with the flexing. I don’t use AMZN anymore, but I do still have Paramount, so I’m not claiming a glass house.

Don’t shop small businesses during just one weekend a year, or even one day a week, shop small always. Yes upfront price is more expensive BUT you are getting better products with people concerned for YOUR customer experience, not THEIR bottom line. #economicblackout #smallbusiness #GuitarSky

Even if the old adage is to “not judge a book by its cover,” the truth is an appealing cover will attract more readers to your book. When you’re at the store, (book or otherwise,) it’s the packaging that draws you in. If you need a cover: www.fiverr.com/s/dDkbjg6 #BookSky #WriterSky #Writers

Impeach, convict, remove. And if our current leaders won’t do it, they need to step aside for people who will.

Glad that they are voting to release the Epstein files, and hopefully ALL the criminals will face justice. Not to split hairs, however as a victim of abuse, there is a hashtag that says #believewomen I think this should be updated to #believevictims Sometimes victims are the people you least 🧵

Gonna post some art soon I swear! 😼

This is a better answer than I gave on The Source to @kaitlancollins.bsky.social last night.

I’d just like to reiterate that if you put on a mask, and go out without a warrant and kidnap people because they aren’t white enough, you’re a huge piece of shit…

Interesting that the head of AC franchise stepped down a few weeks ago, and now Ubisoft is trending with speculation. Well, here goes! AC which dedicated itself to having a diverse team of people, is now bought by another group of small d*ck males, Saudis/MAGA/etc. who will now ruin the 🧵 #ubisoft

(Spoilers) I’m not doubting Savannah’s story, but if someone treated you like that, why are you doing the EXACT same thing to other people?! The ego is immense. Even said to my wife that the “Hot Grim Reaper” episode title would be Savannah describing herself. 🙄 Just glad Sage stayed in #Survivor49

“AI is a fucking covers band.” - Jimmy Carr when asked by an audience member if AI would replace humans. Love that dude’s wit.

Breaking News: House Democrats released emails in which Jeffrey Epstein alleged that Donald Trump knew of the convicted sex offender's conduct and “spent hours at my house” with a victim.

Here’s the facts of what all this is about: www.snopes.com/fact-check/g... Now, I have long stated that @democrats.org should be more progressive, and @kaine.senate.gov I’m very disappointed to hear that capitulation may have been the 8 of you’s idea. Pinky promises from liars mean nothing.

Love letter to all my art friends and a reckoning for those who “NEED” AI to make art. (Spoilers alert - no you don’t.) #ArtSky #artists #Santa #Christmas #doglovers #huskies youtube.com/watch?v=mrSn...

Reposting this, it’s the first bit of my artwork I’ve ever put up for sale. Hopefully, some folks like it. Just finished editing the video today, and it should be going up in the next day or so. Reckoning for AI “artists.” #ArtSky #illustration #SantaClaus #Christmas #dogsky #dogs #digitalart|noAI

Folks, if you are hungry, please contact your local Sikh gurdwara. Or just show up for langar, which most gurdwaras do several times a week, for a free meal. Lots also do weekly or monthly drives giving out groceries. No conversion necessary. Feeding anyone who is hungry is a key part of Sikhism.

I really enjoyed this person’s video on AI “art” and the future of AI. You might enjoy it as well especially if you’re a creative: youtu.be/PgjnuhOIB6c?...

Apropros of everything. United we stand: youtu.be/3SLy0K7REAA?...

Attn Pennsylvania voters: Reports are coming in of signs near polling places reading “No Kings, No Retention” with a crown-slash logo. These signs are fake and misleading, part of a disinformation push. In Pennsylvania, you should vote YES to retain the Supreme Court justices on the ballot.

If nothing else, the last nine months should have made it clear that elections matter. But what’s remarkable about America is that we have the power, as citizens, to change this country by voting. Go to IWillVote.com.

Remember—we dropped Disney's stock 7% in 24 hrs & they went back on their big decision. We need to do it to every one of them during the peak of their money-making season, the holidays. They don't think we can make a difference. Let's prove them wrong. Fight back in whatever way you can.

Obama: They never miss a chance to scapegoat minorities and D.E.I. For every problem under the sun. You got a flat tire? D.E.I.. Wife mad at you? D.E.I..

I’m going to do the scariest thing in the world to some people (for some unknown reason) and put pineapple on pizza. Mmmm, pineapple pizza. Scaaaarrrryyy!

The key to realistically paint materials is to understand the "Specularity Spectrum" (term made up by me). Once you understand how reflective or not something is, you can roughly deduce how much you need to emphasize form shadows vs reflections (highlights), or whether to combine both.

Happy Halloween/Samhain my fellow BlueSky’ers! No new vid this week, but check out last week’s if you haven’t seen it yet! #Halloween #Samhain #ArtSky #boo #drawing #digitalpainting #digitalart|noAI #digitalart #vampire #vampyr #skull #tutorial #tutorials #learntodraw youtu.be/ZSVNPo4Csrw?...

“No, I won’t support racism.” Done. Not hard. Also, the job of government - REGARDLESS of whether or not you’re appointed by the president is to serve the people, NOT the president. Fuck these nazi scumbags.

Current WIP. Surprising my brother with his kids as Jedi. Not thrilled with drawing of my niece for multiple factors. Photo ref was blurry. #wip #starwars #jedi #digitalart #digital|noAI

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice. This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

The GOP/MAGA can spare us the pearl clutching over Jay Jones. He shouldn’t have said what he said, but pretending that you’re not okay with this when you completely lack ethics and morality is a ridiculous farce that no one should buy into, especially not the party of going after political vengeance

New video up now! Hopefully it’s helpful to those who are frustrated with low engagement! 🙂 Thanks to those who are always engaged with my work! 🎉 #artsky #artists #digitalpainting #spooky #novice #halloween #drawing #learntodraw #artlessons youtu.be/ZSVNPo4Csrw?...

Cut Congress’s HEALTHCARE until they return to save ours

Okay take 2 on this one. Added narration (because I love the sound of my own voice! 🤣) For some reason BlueSky doesn’t show the thumbnail so I’m also attaching the image: #art #learntodraw #vikings #norse #odin #proseedda #allfather #scandinavian #odinn #artsky youtu.be/0p5OEY_Gt78?...

Just throwing up my most recent stuff for this #artshare currently working on a video for the Odin piece! Thanks for tagging me @kingcobey8.bsky.social and to @quicoarts.bsky.social for hosting! My tags for friends in comments. 🙂

Continuing my dragontober over here lol! Thanks to @jacqjohnsonart.bsky.social for the tips! (You should follow them if you aren’t already.) Still a ways to go, but vs even a few days ago - definitely seeing an improvement! 🎉 Now to ruin it with inks! 🤣 #art #artsky #sketching #dragons

Freyja and Odin respectively. I plan on making a Thor and maybe a Tyr or Loki as well. I’ll feature some of the process in this week’s video. I debated the runes, because hate groups STEALING them - but fuck hate groups: #art #ArtSky #digitalart|noai #digitalpainting #illustration #freyja #odin

Hey art friends- does anyone have any recommendations on their favorite POD services for prints? I’ve used spreadshop and sticker mule for my other small business promotional products, but not too informed about prints. #art #artists #POD #ArtSky

I really wish I didn’t have to say this but especially as a white guy whose recent work has been Norse gods, (because that is ours, not racist hemorrhoids,) at no point at any age is it okay to make racist and antisemitic remarks. Second, the adult brain is finished forming at 24 - all were over 24.

Sleep Sweet, BlueSky💙

It’s world mental health day, so I’d like to ask you to remember just because someone doesn’t look like they’re struggling to you - doesn’t mean that’s the reality. Let’s try and show kindness to all people today. #worldmentalhealthday #ocdawareness #mentalhealth #anxiety #ocd #PTSD #cPTSD
