The reason why the sketchy drawing is better than AI reference are the economical choices made. The person only drew what was most important and nothing else which gives clear direction! Please do more of this!

Some more sketches, this time featuring some of my ocs and more fanart: Lyra belongs to @cokona.bsky.social Nova belongs to @black-beary.bsky.social Khay belongs to @its-soulfy.bsky.social Probably didn’t get all designs quite right, apologies if I missed any important details #ocsky

Artist! Show your long hair art!

Life is short trace the 3d background assets that were made for it. #artvsref #ocart

i am really sick of the anti-sex attitude in fandom in general. "gooner art style", "this is for gooners", "the gooners will ruin this" PLEASE get off the internet and experience life, demonizing intimacy makes you sound sheltered at best and like a demented Baptist boomer at worst

Life advice for the ages. Those doing wrong want you tired and hopeless. But stay angry. And when a chance is in front of you: bite back. Digital plans for a real linocut. I'm anxiously awaiting a press to make this stuff possible with my RSI in my hands. #art #tiger #resist #linocut

I can't believe we're going back to this kind of discourse but: Using references isn't cheating Using 3D mannequins and photo references is STANDARD, even for professional artists Shaming people and pushing them to draw exclusively from memory is harmful and can set back people who are learning

Had the pleasure of drawing Asher and I love him For @taux.bsky.social!!

Unfortunately it's Fireflies by Owl City :(

Can confirm, when I use my stash of mirror selfies, tracing will initially look BAD. Anatomy is weird, bodies have quirks, camera angles distort. I'm always shifting, resizing, redrawing to turn it into something actually pleasing to look at, and I need the knowledge gained from studies to do that.

the desire to exist in community with other artists is innate. to collaborate, celebrate, gift, grow. af is unnecessary and is only novel in that it makes artmaking a competition. allowing unqualified strangers to litigate your community experience and your relationship to craft is a waste.

Mixosaurus was about 1 m long and weighed 5 kgs. I want to hold one. Screen recording of me drawing this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=KcnE...

Idk man I feel like even if AI scraped from 100% ethical sources, had zero impact on the environment, and produced gorgeous work, I’d still think you were a bitch for using it

Bday gift for @kahryez.bsky.social !!! Our wonderful patron of the arts 💛💛💛

being obsessed with your friends oc is the best ever. its like loving canon characters but you have a direct line to the author.

Curtain Call is going to a masquerade and I can finally share my Sheireen design :D [ #dndoc #OCsky #dndart #characterdesign #KuroArt ]

Neeeew fullbodieeees #ocs #art #originalcharacters

If you don't reshare other people's art because you don't want it "clogging" up your own profile, you aren't interested in community. You're only interested in your own numbers.

another wow ref bc i was away for the weekend

Legion, the one who is many "Sometimes, the will of many people might align, forming a single cluster of spirits working collectively as a hive mind. Commonly found in old trenches and battlefields, they're believed to be the spawn of soldiers who fell in battle."

Oh hey, Fish :› [ #invei / #slimegirl ] [ #pixelart #animation ]

Myhral is officially my "testing the system" character for Starlings stuff. Been writing a bit about how she starts out and gets recruited and she's gonna hit the Academy soon so I wanted to see her in the uniform :3 #STARLINGS

I launched an indie webcomic hosting platform several months ago that offered a free and a $4/mo paid plan. This was purely to cover the cost of the infrastructure. But in seeing it grow, I'm no longer worried about the cost. So yeah Webcomic Studio is now free. webcomic.studio

Can anyone recommend some Korean/Korean ancestry semi-real artists for a character design comm? Style should be similar to what I've gotten in the past Looking for someone comfortable with designing a kpop idol type character, similar to kpdh but more cyberpunk

videogame I suppose

anyway yes sorry i do this speech like once every four months, it's just that this is one of my most firmly held beliefs ever, and i have yet to encounter an example (although people often try to provide one) that doesn't fit the prompt, while often encountering folks who want MORE limits on topics
