Not extatic about the face, but after spending an entire night on redoing it I just have to call it done for now. Hopefully the things I’m unsure of now will be better with some light and shadow applied. #lineartwork #trrpgcharacter #vamily #clanlasombra

Anyone have tips on best way to send blood?

A proper intro post! 🌷 I'm Gabbi, Swedish illustrator and comic artist, who is currently working with games (concept art, 3D and UI). When I find some free time to draw for myself, you will mostly see art of my dnd characters, oc's or fanart! 🫧🌙⭐

Keep writing, drawing, creating, making cool and weird and gross and provocative and fun and sad and hopeful things. It's never a waste of time. In fact, 9 out of 10 dentists recommend you use your time for this. It's good for you.

decided to animate the remainder bit! The pug's name is Guns, so I'm thinking of naming the lifeguard dog Roses.

i need authors and agents to be much louder with their publishers how much they hate gen ai and make it embarrassing/financially harmful for publishers to be associated with it at every level (incl marketing, publicity, and sales)

😲 We are "hurting society", which... in the current context means we are healing society and hurting corrupt, entitled, evil billionaire leeches. WE NEED TO KEEP THIS UP.

Good morning #PortfolioDay ✨ I'm AgzDeGrey, a 2D/Game artist and character designer based in Sweden✨ I use all sorts of art mediums, and I enjoy drawing anything fantasy-related 🧙‍♀️⚔️👺 I’m currently looking for full-time or freelance work 📧[email protected] 🧙‍♀️ agzdegrey.com ⟡ #art ⟡

Searching my hard drives for what to select for #portfolioday I found this Carrie illustration I did for a special screening at my favorite movie theater that I think I never posted here? I still like it a lot.

Keep hearing devs say that they only use ai for "pre-concept art" There is no pre-concept art. There is concept art. That's where the idea starts. With the concept. You're using ai for concept art.

For me, 2023 was chaos and distractions, 2024 was crisis and recuperation, 2025 was confidence and clarity. For 2026 I want courage and connection to lead the way, and share a lot more of my art and myself. #sketch #illustration #portrait

"This promise of an AI future, is really just a collective anxiety that wealthy people have about how well they're gonna be able to control us in the future." - @tressiemcphd.bsky.social with an absolute mic drop moment about AI bullshit. Incredible words. Listen to all of it!

In 2026 I hope you get freakier and get plenty of money and become the cutest or scariest you wanna be and that your hard earned talents and hobbies reward you endlessly

if tumblr dies I need this video to make it's seasonal rotation here instead just in case, Happy holidays 🎄

Ni, plebejer: gnäller över frukt på pizza Min pizzeria, genier: Har en hel sektion med ”fruktpizzor”

What gets me about executives at movie/videogame studios being taken aback at consumer backlash to AI is that they seem genuinely surprised that we like the human beings that make the things that we like

"I'm a monster, you're a monster... oh, we're a perfect match!" [oc]

I think about this all the time (from catandgirl.com/the-genius/)

#TeaWitches 2025 edition. #art Day 16: Vasa Tea Years ago, the Vasa Museum did a tea-blend based on something they had found aboard the wreck after it was salvaged. I've lost the ingredient list, but it has bergamot in it. The witch wears 1600s fashion because that's when the ship was built.

the think about this that evangel-AI-sts don't get, and WILL never get, is that the hours or days of creative iteration *is the work*. that is where the magic happens: that is where you figure out what you want to say, how to say it, what you MEAN by saying it, and what the point of it all is.

this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous this is worth sharing and educating people about

Ominously Kind Crows ⚔️💕 #originalart

I started saying "improvise, adapt, overcome" when I make a big mistake. Feels much better than "oh no oh no oh no"

If you see me like this, I'm fine. I'm being creative. I'm writing. I just need to be dramatic about it first.

Hell yeah 💜 Early christmas gift for myself. This year I’ve been really involved with Vtm (Chicago setting in particular) and this ties everything together so nicely. Will show entire game room setup once it’s finished. #vtm #vamily #vampirethemasquerade #lasombra @bynightstudios.bsky.social

A piece I made about a week ago for an invoicery firm I’ve used a lot. The brief was ’freelance life’ and I went for a blend of authentic and fantastical. #art #freelanceillustrator #selfportrait #vectorart

Also, congratulations everyone who made something this year. A comic, a song, a film, a novel, a painting, a poem, a short story, a sculpture, crochet, embroidery, whatever it is. In this era of slop and theft, if you *make* something you are a shining jewel and I am so grateful for you.

Share your knowledge if/when you can. Teaching other people how to do what you do doesn’t lessen your art - it just means more and better art for everyone. I appreciate when people are willing to tell me about their brushes, how they study, etc… I want to put that back out into the world.

this is true for all mediums! books, games, ttrpgs, comics, etc. Leave reviews where you can - and tell a friend you think might enjoy it about the thing! I don't always trust reviews by strangers, but I sure do trust recommendations by people who know me well.

Hey, whether you did hundreds of artworks this year or one artwork this year, you are an artist, and you're doing your best. Be proud of whatever you created this year. Life ebbs and flows.

I'm only in my 50s, but I'm trans/nonbinary. Didn't even know that was an option until my 40s!

Remember folks: if you have any small amount of artistic talent, any sex appeal, or can make your friends laugh, the richest man on earth is crying screaming throwing up because he can’t be you.

Art is wild because you'll be stuck working on the same part over and over for hours and then you make one random extremely frustrated line and you'll be like "... wait... 👀" and it'll fix everything.

I’ve sometimes fallen into the trap of thinking that complementing a creative person for their work is less sophisticated or desired than discussion or debate about it but very often the best thing you can say to them is hell yeah and that doesn’t make you dumb it just makes you nice

it's the universal queer experience /j

A reminder to all that pointing, laughing AND SHAMING THE FUCK out of companies does Abso-fucking-lutely work and we should do it more often They keep doing this becsuse they don't think it will harm their brand as much as not using it Prove em wrong

The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.

did you enjoy creating it? did you have fun? does it make you happy thinking about it and sharing it? then that's it. you did it. you found the secret sauce. "was that a waste of time?" of course not, fuckface. expressing yourself creatively is always worthwhile. you're doing great

"oh, don't forget to highlight, in bright red, the two-letter word in the tagline! the two letter word that's kind of the whole point of this clever ad campaign! the two letter word that links this show to the horror movie of the same name!" "no problem boss. i'm on it"

"Imagine you stole all of the intellectual property in the world. And you're using it to help people write middling emails and make revenge porn about women, and also children. And you're powering this plagiarism and non-consensual porn machine by eating up what's left of humanity's carbon budget."

So, real talk. The imposter syndrome never really goes away either, it's like an old chronic injury that flares up again and gets really bad at certain times of the year, or if you've strained yourself. It creeps back when you don't expect it, and it's hard not to hear that little voice get louder.
