Eliza McLamb had an apt analogy abt modern fandoms: Fans no longer treat creators as creators. Fans treat creators like stock options they’ve invested in; like they’re part owners of a creator’s work just by *being fans*, and therefore get a say in what creators make/how they act. And it sucks.

From the creator of #ButterflySoup and #PomGetsWiFi, The Crane Rider's Tale is a mystery game inspired by Disco Elysium, Zero Escape, and Chinese folktales. 🪽On Kickstarter now! www.kickstarter.com/projects/psy...

Rotating some Frieren drawings around in my head and yesterday's WHA ep sparked an idea too. I'm trying to embrace the inspiration as it comes and if it ends up becoming a print later, cool; if not, I don't think any drawing is a waste of time if it was fun to do. The joy is in the journey etc etc

So Calypso NEEDS that ojou-sama laugh emote. I already think the femelezen laugh she has sounds like "oh-ho-ho-ho!" but with the hand gesture, this energy would be unparalleled.

Dark Bunny small comission to @smollestbunny2.bsky.social :) had fun bringing this one to life! { #art | #illustration }

everybody cheered!!! #ffxiv

The WHA anime continues to blow me away every week 😭🥰✨

genAI offends me so much bc it's this naked contempt for artists on full display and marketed as much in so many words. you don't even have to wait for the artists to die now to take their art, you can just take it and not think about them at all to even know whether they're alive or dead to matter

I do portraits of cats for 50 usd apiece, if anyone is interested ^-^ ! I am a disabled illustrator w a life limiting disease, and I would like to be hired to paint your cats so I can recover my supply of my levothyroxine, metformin etc ETA is 3-5 weeks, and sooner whenever my health permits!

Japan's publishing market shrank for the fifth straight year in 2025. But one corner is booming: zines. Here's why self-published magazines now sit on chain bookstore shelves and why booksellers say they "can't ignore" the movement.

Introducing #FanfestMooglePost 2026! Created with Endy's permission, I've organized a way for the Warriors of Light who are unable to make it to Anaheim and participate in #FanfestWoLTrade this year to exchange stickers via Postmoogle. Links and info in 🧵

creators get better by finishing projects no project ever comes out as good as it is in your imagination but that’s ok, the next one will be better also it’s ok if projects fail, taking risks and big swings is an important part of growing as a creator

a reminder that wholesale copying artistic photography for a painting is often still plagiarism, even though it’s two different mediums

"I have been mortal, and some part of me is mortal yet. I am full of tears and hunger and the fear of death, although I cannot weep, and I want nothing, and I cannot die. I am not like the others now, for no unicorn was ever born who could regret, but I do. I regret." #thelastunicorn #fanart #art

thinking about that "fanfic/fanart is a conversation" post and about how so many people apparently just talk about stuff in private discord servers and don't comment or interact at all with the person actually making the stuff to tell them they like it

The Pointed Caps 💐 This series has been such a source of comfort for me in an increasingly turbulent and uncertain world. It confronts the dark side of humanity while reminding us of the good that exists in all of us 🌷 #witchhatatelier

My polite and effective way of saying this is this screenshot and a heavy handed but gentle stare at…quite a few of you.

these ancients were amazing and this is my favorite photo from fanfest

Oh my god

I know a lot of oomfs don't watch Vtubers and that's A-Okay, they're not everyone's cup of tea, but not only is Ironmouse a disabled woman, her voice is an actual direct product of her disability; infections in her lungs messed up her vocal chords and that's why she sounds like that. It's not a bit.

Touring the Getty Center today ahh!!!!

LONG LIVE THE ERA OF DRAGOON AURA

The fanfest keynote, and the reactions to the concept art, is such a loud reminder of the importance and significance of the artists who work and pour their passion into these pieces, and how they resonate with so many. Respect, pay, and give artists the time and space to create beautiful artwork!

Winter expansion for my winter-themed WoL. Nice. 💙❄🌫

GET IN THE ROBOT, ALPHINAUD

yo shout out to Bob and the whole damn Red Mill

Have fun FanFest y'all! I eagerly await scrolling my timeline for updates

Wishing you all a cozy #NationalLibraryWeek! 📚

Your worth as an artist is not tied to lack of sales. Your lack of sales is, however, tied to the fact absolutely none of us have any money. You're NOT a shit artist. We are ALL broke, my dude.

HAPPY 1ST ANNIVERSARY!!! To celebrate the occasion, the team put together this piece of artwork that we hope you'll enjoy! ❤️🌹

None of the accident lawyer billboards here have the same babygirl vibes as Rafi. If you come to AZ you'll understand.
