As a complement to my last post, I regret not taking textbooks seriously when I started studying Japanese. I heard people on YouTube saying that textbooks are useless, like "it's not the true Japanese," then I found a hyperpolyglot explaining his learning process through textbooks with audio. (+)

It took me time and money to realize this, but recorded courses usually don't work for me 🙃 I'm very prone to not watching them, or watching very superficially. And I found out this is actually very common.

Omg I received my first commission on Vgen ✨🥰

LOSING IT

I struggle a lot to be part of any fandom – can I just enjoy my favorite media and draw fanart without being involved in weird discussions on the internet? 🥹

I heard from a professor in Brazil that he didn't like to accept American students to his international scholarship program because their basic knowledge was always poor compared to students from other countries 🫠

I have a theory that the best teachers are the ones that promise nothing. By studying with them you have no guarantee of being rich. They won't pay advertising on social media or SEO, and they don't do miracles. However, you will have the best support ever.

I think a lot of the neurodivergent experience is being punished for asking questions so we instead decide to infer meanings and intentions and patterns based on context and cues, but because we're neurotypical, that process is extremely prone to error. so we get punished for it anyway later.

Art college is a mistake.

I'm exhausted and I don't have time to draw and socialize until December ;w;

I need an alternative to SciHub to get recent papers. Unfortunately, the new Sci-Net asks for a crypto payment, and it relies on luck to find the paper you want >.>

Hi #PortfolioDay 👋 I'm a Brazilian artist and graphic designer, and I draw some anime characters and furry stuff! 🌐 mnvulpin.com 🛍️ vgen.co/mnvulpin

Two months ago I installed #Windows11 on my unsupported PC thanks to this tutorial. No errors, the system is updating normally, absolutely perfect. Try it with your unsupported PC too! youtu.be/Tl9OEX-IKEk

Apparently offering #commission at random posts from people looking for artists doesn't work for me. What is the best strategy then? Should I simply post more art and pray for people to get in touch asking for commission? I feel more inclined to do that rather than spamming my services ;w;

Getting commission nowadays is not easy due to AI and bad economy, and now we have a lot of scammers and fake artists flooding the internet with fake or stolen art 😭

To celebrate my new VGen page and help me get a verification, I'm doing this kind of painting of a cute creature for $52! Commission here: vgen.co/mnvulpin Sharing this will be very appreciated 💕 #commissions #commissionsopen #artsky #furry

My VGen page is live! I'm open for commission ;) vgen.co/mnvulpin #VgenComm #commissions #commissionsopen #artsky

I noticed that fewer people are hiring artists on Reddit nowadays. I wonder if this is the consequence of art commissions being replaced by AI or if people are moving to other platforms.

I don't understand why people are mad that Bluesky isn't allowing non-consensual activity. Like... even in BDSM, you have consent, it shouldn't be an issue for NSFW artists. This guideline is not even new, so as long as you don't post rape and revenge porn here, then you will be ok.

I love Digimon (perhaps I'll bring some fanart here). But sometimes I feel it's an underdeveloped franchise - the whole lore is about a digital world that impacts our real world, so writers and producers could embrace this and talk about digital problems - fake news, addictions, AI ethics, etc.

In 2024 I made and posted short comics on my socials as a part of an official project hosted by HoYoCREATORS. But I'm not doing it anymore nor will I make them again. The reasons are the following 🧵 mnvulpin.com/hoyoverse-sh...

God bless Anna and her Archive.

I'll update my commission info and pricelist soon, I just lost my freelance job and I think getting another position this year will be a bit hard due to my college :')

I feel I can sketch faster and confidently when I draw with pencil on paper. But if I want details, then drawing on a digital tablet works better, however I ctrl+Z very often 😶‍🌫️

It's sad how the Genshin Creator Program has deteriorated. It began as an independent program by the global community managers. Then, it was integrated into a unified program for all MHY games, and now it's managed by a 3rd-party agency. I was a moderator for this program, and I saw so many things.

I'm rereading Blue Period, after suggesting it to my drawing teacher. For those who don't know, it made me drop out of my art college; maybe I'll write a text on my blog to tell this story and why this manga hit me so hard. This video gives some hints www.youtube.com/watch?v=afGn...

Today is International Cat Day! Here is something I saw in a dream. #illustration

I'm not taking part in any Art Fight cuz I'm against violence 😔

HEY ARTISTS LOOK LOOK FASHION HISTORY RESOURCES!!!!!! fashionhistory.fitnyc.edu

We need to talk about this: many artists are not adding alt text because they take a lot of time writing and they don't want to spend more than 5 seconds posting a picture. GenAI could be a solution, most of them can read and transcribe images. But we have the GenAI problem of stealing art.

I wish to post drawings on Bluesky only and close my X and Instagram accounts. But... Is this viable? Many people contact artists on X/IG and won't move to BS. I need to sell my art regardless :/
