Hey artists!! Post some art you made from before Bluesky!!

WTF? Some labeller labelled this post as toxic???

Husband and I started to give each other gifts today because sometimes we just can't wait till Christmas or NY and it's actually Yule today, only to find out (as if it's something new) that we share a single brain cell. We both gave each other a calendar. And I can't stop laughing about

All this discussion about "oh, this is not how actual MM sex happens" about MM romance is so ridiculous. Please learn about the concept of romance and fiction. Try reading some het romances (for scientific purposes at leat) to see that sex and relationships (and lots of othert things) that is

Unless they are trans.

Saw a post on threads by another Russian queer immigrant whom I don’t know. But he described something I experience all the time: crying at pride, feeling anxious at queer events and making new friends, being overwhelmed from community and kindness…and it takes years for tte trauna to get better.

Once in your life you love Once in your life you try The one you're holdin' Is the one that tears you, apart .... It's not the love, it's just the rain Two broken hearts But not in vain It's not the love, it's just the rain #MirageofBlaze #queerart #BL #fanart

I know some folks wanna play their silly little game with friends. But if that game 1.) encourages the use of AI; the replacement of human creatives, and directly a cause of environmental destruction. And 2.) support a terf and her crusade to destroy trans lives ... Get your morals checked FFS

It’s interesting that when I moved to Hungary I didn’t have much of a culture shock. We understood each other very well with most Hungarians. The real culture shock was when I moved to Belgium. A country never influenced by USSR in its history. And I love it. But the difference is striking.

Tom and Luke doing dnd together?!!! What a time to be alive

I found out that what I’m going through is immigrant identity crisis and national/cultural dysphoria. At least I know the term now. And that it’s not just me. Lots of Russians struggle with this, especially now. And it sucks. It sucks big deal. Having bender dysphoria was enough for me.

Romance is one of the greatest fiction genres and it literally keeps the publishing world going. If it's not your bag, that's fine, but it's not a lesser-than genre and some of the best writers around work in it. Human connection is always worth telling stories about.

Me making a character for a DND campaign: I’m a bard and I gonna BARD.little combat, lots of vicious mockery and all. My party: ranger, sorc and wizard. Me: ends up multitasking as a rogue, tank wannabe and a healer. When we finally get a Palladin in a party everyone goes: why it’s so

I'm trying to fight a feeling that people expect me to draw smut, because yes, I'm known for Hansry and other ship smut, but sometimes I'm just not in the mood for it. I want romantic soft scenes, or maybe just domestic stuff, or angst, or symbolism. I love drawing smut but it needs a special mood

I'd suggest that any author who signed foreign rights contracts with Harlequin should look at them and check if there's an AI clause. Personally, I wouldn't sign without one. All authors should insist on a no AI clause in perpetuity. Contracts should state that there will be human translation.

I wish if western media still chooses to make Russian characters in more or less realistic settings , especially if they are queer, they would chose those who spoke up against the war and the oppression and list everything and had to either go to jail or leave, other than those who benefit from

🖕🖕FUCK CENSORSHIP🖕🖕 QUOTE YOUR NSFW #ocart #ocsky #NSFW

Idk who needs to hear it but: Repost your art. Do it a bunch. Old, new, ancient, I do not care. Put it on my timeline 100 times!

#buttsky Basically, all images are cropped parts of my artworks featuring butts, so I hope no alt text is needed.

I really miss winter, so I give our #hansry boys some winter wonderland experience. Thanks to the patrons whose ongoing support allows me to draw more fan art! #KCD2 #fanart #art #MMromance

Starting from today I’m both on a holiday from language school and from work! I’ve got to prepare for the exams in January but I can breath a bit! And I have time and brain energy to Sort out stuff at the end if the year with future clients. Last few weeks were TOUGH

Damn Tumblr bots that go "dm me if you're doing commissions?" are so tiresome.

Ton doing this in the studio is what MADE the game awesome, real, full of character and so fucking immersive. I hate it here. I hate that studios that made games that I genuinely loved are so fucked up now.

This is a cracking interview that explains where we're at with the snake oil that is called AI.

The hockey show was by all means very much not my thing, but I have really high hopes on 10 Dance. I liked the trailer and the give much much better. Will check it out for sure.

TBH, very little tv-shows and movies satisfy my craving for a good story, good visuals AND a full-fledged MM relationship, even if not explicitly romantic/sexual. But I would say Beyond Evil and The Devil Judge are pretty close. And I really love those K-dramas for many aspects.

Been thinking on the use of GenAi for mood boards. Ethics and legal risks aside, I truly believe using GenAi as references deprives one of many pivotal things. Here’s a blurb on what I mean:

Praying every day for something to poison databases so bad that all these structures and frameworks built around chatGPT and genAI instantly implode

hah, what timing, i've been staring at this beauty all day for the kdp paperback! Art by @thistlearts.bsky.social, obviously (Jan has such a recognizable style). He did a stunning job!! Out March 17, get it here: emcaro.carrd.co or amazon.com/dp/B0FFJF2QBH or books2read.com/RearsAndVices

Thank you for a wonderful question! Ah, I’m such a fan of staring menswear! If I had to choose it would be 1600’s 1800s and 1930-s But it’s not really fair because there are so many variant even within those time periods!

Oooh what a great question! Mostly its the combination of the moon and the "weight" of the scene. If I want it dense and feel very palpable and physical, I would go for more oil-ish style. If I feel like it's more ethereal, or fleeting, feverish or dreamy I would go for watercolor-ish style.

Let's go!

Yeah, readers, please don't do this. If you love a character so much you want to make art, do it. I would love for people to be so inspired by a book I wrote that they made fan art themselves. Generated AI fan art is an abomination.

Every writer who generates a slop image for their work is a class traitor. "I can't afford a visual artist" So your solution is stabbing artists in the back? Stealing from them? Furthermore, slop-generated imagery suggests slop-generated writing. That's how you're presenting yourself.

Artists! Quote with art that has purple in it!✨💜 Oh, that would be easy!

I am beyond pissed that @larianstudios.com would fucking do this. There are so many things wrong with this and it is a bad fucking move to take. Fuck you.

Another major disappointment. I'm glad I wasn't even so excited about this game because I don't like so much gore.

I regret nothing, kcd time is the best gaming time 💛

I can't help but admit that the actor from that hockey smut show who plays "theh russian" did an insanely good job as a westerner to portray the amalgamation of typical Russian traits that I, as a russian, cant' stand in russian men lol.

It's December 15th, so I guess it's a good time for #artsummary2025 I still have hope that I will draw some more art till the end of the year, though. This year, I was able to draw a lot of #fanart thanks to #hansry, who brought me back to fandom life. A lot of work art is still NDA, though

This year was really great, and a huge part of this was due to the wonderful community and friendships I've made on this site. Thank you all!

share your couples art! 💐💕

I realise that Benoit Blanc was created for film, and he works perfectly in that context. But he reads so like a character adapted from a Golden Age detective novel that every film makes me feel sad there isn't a series of Benoit Blanc novels for us to read as well.

I would not play the Harry Potter game if it was free. I wouldn’t play the Harry Potter game if you paid me. Fuck Harry Potter
