Now put it on some bread and butter because that's really the only choice you have 😭

Forgot to update but Bootsy has gained a pound (8lbs to 9lbs) and the meds have helped him eat more and manage pain. He has another appointment elsewhere but the goal was to have him in less pain to eat so he doesn't develop more health issues in the process of waiting to get his teeth pulled.

I guess I always find this conversation funny because in my household the women were always the main and higher earning breadwinners.... I think that's why I find dating to be odd too because all this "I'm a man and I wanna be the breadwinner" is kinda an embarrassing because...be it then?? 😭

It's exhausting because everyone has different opinions. For example as an "older Gen Z" ever since I was 16 people called me 30. Not because I really looked older but because I was bald and to them bald = old automatically in which it doesn't and I was a kid. I still get that at 27.

I genuinely hope the East coast will rise up when it comes to animation and other creative industries because honestly....🙄💀

My one nail breaking off makes me so mad actually (My lotioned blessed handdd) 😂

Bootsy has a small check up appointment tomorrow (just to check up in between waiting for the more important appointment elsewhere). 💗🖤 The meds he is on have helped him eat more and managed his tooth pain well and I think he gained some of his weight back which is nice.

Been listening to a lot of prince and it inspired this vampire art. #vampire #gayart #homoeroticart #humanartist #fuckai #gay #gayvanpireart

Yeah...we can tell. Anyways...back to struggling.

Hey guys! ✨️I still have some commission slots available on VGen! 🌱💚💜 There's currently 2 left for Character Portraits and 5 for Half body, along with another 5 for Character Design sheets! ✨️ vgen.co/cryling-art

If I said it feels very white too would you be mad because I feel like that's also why it's so...majority dull and majority the same. No "risks" (as you all call them) are being taken and it's just...the same thing being made by the same people obsessed with the same thing we've seen before.

Coming soon I swear 👀✨️

🚨 The keys to being a successful artist in 2026: - produce as many pieces as possible - make short form videos of you doing that ⚠️ What I'm doing: - spend forever on one piece - whining about pressure to make short form video

Worked more on a commission today. 💗 I do have some more slots open on vgen 🌱

I'm bored, let's do an #artshare ૮꒰˶ᵔ ᗜ ᵔ˶꒱ა ✧ SFW & NSFW allowed! (Please tag NSFW accordingly) ✧ Share your work, and even promote yourself! ✧ Remember to support one another! ✧ Like, share and repost! Tag a friend, if you want! ✧ NO N*F*T, A*I, CR*YP*TO

Lol yeah no. I wish they were $50 but instead they are $100-$500 and even more. I rarely make that table cost back so I don't go to conventions/markets much. For me it's becoming financially irresponsible to table at cons when I know I get more commission work and "sales" at home. (Still not lots)

Here's my part of a chill art trade I did with @entertaingels.bsky.social of their OC Angela! 💜🌱🎶 #artsky #ocsky #arttrade #artistsupport

Somewhere along the way I think some people conflated using references for art as being the same as tracing/copying. Plagiarism is totally different thing and not the same as using reference. If you don’t understand the difference, please read some art books and art history! Talk to working artists!

So this is a future me question for artists who do traditional inking, what are your ink recommendations? As in bottled? They could be black or other colors but I guess I wanna see what's best. ✒️🖤✨️

I wish you well in your adult literacy journey

My unpopular opinion is that new artists start more unnecessary drama than they make art because with how social media is they think that they have to start something to gain a following. Spend that time having fun, drawing, and making friends. OR actually talk about REAL problems.

I feel like most nights I'm just like "let me eat some Ramen, potatoes,or Mac n cheese" at this point 😪 When it comes to food I kinda have decision fatigue at home and sometimes I'll just skip eating (which is BAD). So I try to convince myself to eat something. The other day I hooked up my Ramen.

I love how Drolta's baby is just cuteeee 😂😭💗 She is the cutest actually! 😭

Dealing with elders who are "low-key" homophobic is just goofy because they are honestly projecting their own insecurities and the fact that....they aren't one of the options (usually a man being mad that men aren't the only option we MUST date) anymore. 😭 Like...I'm going to outdo them...

I think you can tell when I make art on Procreate vs CSP. My art in CSP tends to have more..."smooth" linework while procreate has textured line brushes and so on. I have to get one brush set I like for CSP that I use on procreate and maybe my lines will feel similar Either way, I love both. 🎨💗✨️

My dream as of late is to have all the money I need to simply buy fountain pens and different inks to draw with. I like lines and inking a lot actually and it's a small dream of mine to just do that. ✒️✨️

Not true. There are many reasons why we got here. People not voting is one of them. Not even the most important one. This pedestrian analysis needs to stop. The number one reason we got here, above all, is racism. Until we contend with that we won’t even understand voter disenfranchisement.

Why do people think Alopecia is this thing that I can just grow back via willpower after a rando asks me "When are you growing your hair back or have you tried to?" ???? Idk Janice...do tell me when because the dermatologists also don't really know because if they DID we wouldn't be here? 😂😂😂
