Upside: my job has me not scheduled until the week after I come back, so I can do draw Downside: Ogh no monee Double downside: fuck me I have so much comms to get through

As we enter the New Year remember fear of making bad art is holding you back. Fear of people not liking your work is holding you back. Rejection is holding you back You'll make bad art, you'll have people not like your work, and you'll be rejected. Moving past it is half the job of being a creative

Because of the twitter changes I feel the need to make an official statement: I do not endorse any of my work out there edited by that trash heap that self identifies as a “site”. I do not endorse the free editing of my work and have not since before AI.

Basically; I took her into my home after she claimed she was being abused by her parents (which was a lie) While she was here she: -Touched me -touched my dog -took a bunch of her pills and ran off so we'd have to hunt her down -made me the asshole if I ever had to confront her on anything

Everything’s too much

Okay, I now have to make The Post: Help me. My home is no longer a safe place to exist anymore. My family refuses to accept who i am or how i feel about them and what they've done to me, and when given the slightest pushback i got excommunicated. I am going to need to escape really soon.

It is different for commission artists, of course, but it really cannot be overstated how much Twitter is designed to suck down all of the engagement you create for itself and its own platform, and how fucking impossible it can be to get anyone to click a link to anywhere else.

Users are noticing Twitter/X has added a Grok-powered AI image editor that lets anyone edit any image on the platform, including other people’s artwork using text prompts. Artists warn there’s no opt-out or consent, raising concerns over unauthorized edits and misuse.

I don't see anyone talk here yet but appearantly X (former twitter) has push out "Edit Image" features early today that let you edit any picture post (even to older post) with (assumingly) grok AI here's some of video in action too

Reply or quote if you are anti-AI, anti-generative-AI and pro-human made art.

I know I don’t post my Wips much, but I’d be more than happy to provide advice (and if I can’t, I have a whole trove of tutorials I can pull from)!

I can I be honest and say it's depressing being an artist during this era Not only is drawing a funny dog person with the knowledge many are deeply suffering suck, but when art is brought up it's in such shallow incurious ways that posting art is knowing many folk won't get it

Fire emblem Fates revelation, no question

hey it's not just fortnite it's rocket league as well

Quick psa

I’ll be away from my rig until like… the 6th of January. Can’t bring my laptop with me to the BF’s family house so I’m sorry 🥺

I saw someone say this and I want to make it clear too: please, if you commissioned me and you still use Twitter, don’t post my art there. Please

Reposting this with alt text. Delete your Twitter. Now.

Creative solidarity means: If you're a writer, do not use AI "art" or AI "voiceover" If you're an artist, do not use AI "writing" or AI "references" If you're a streamer/actor, do not use AI for backdrops, thumbnails, etc. Never help AI steal another medium No excuses, no shortcuts, no surrender.

... guys. Seriously. Let irredeemable pieces of shit stay irredeemable pieces of shit. Let characters who you wouldn't piss on if they were on fire, stay the same assholes in perpetuity. No need to give backstories to the worst of the worst. It's okay. Let them suffer in a lake of fire.

I cannot make anybody stop playing games they have a lot of time and money sunk into. But if I, of All people, with 500+ skins, who used to play this Daily, can uninstall Fortnite and the Epic Games store, you can do it too.

Draw your kinks y’all. Your dirty, nasty kinks that so called normal society will look down on you for. Because it doesn’t matter. Because drawing any porn is distasteful to them. You could draw the most basic missionary crap and they’ll still want to hang you. Be free. Be a lil weird. Be loved.

HELL YEAH A MILLION REPOSTS

this is doing permanemt damage to people's pysche btw. It contorts users online behavior into a series of arcane rituals in the vain hope of pleasing an algorithm. It gamifies social interaction until we're all engagement farming on a level that would make Mr. Beast blush.

Did you guys know I’m the reason my old job blocked furaffinity from their WiFi xd

Had to do it.

Honestly? I think I’d be a fire / psychic type

I wannt date Pawbert #Zootopia2

I would like to specify that while I hold no ill will for those who associate/ get art with/ from either person, I do believe it’s within my right to not accept work from those who associate with or support my abuser/rapist and his primary apologist.

there were multiple different countdown clocks until the Olsen twins turned 18 reddit had its infamous 'jailbait' community online until late 2011 all of this shit was just out in the open, it was awful

The subcategorization/tropefication of popular fiction has been very bad in general, both for authors and readers.

Happy thanksgiving, yall.

Let's Keep Calling!

remember, Salvation Army is a big NOPE use your extra $$$ for mutual aid groups

Just so it's clear. It's not allowing AI because it's trying to create a clean dataset for training AI. It's not because any of the involved parties actually care about human created art. Demons can lie to you. You have to rebuke them categorically, rather than fold when they say the right words.

Saw this on the other site and wanted to share it here. Furry artist ardwoof has been detained by ice for the last few weeks. here is the GoFundMe link their family/friends have set up to help with their legal fees: www.gofundme.com/f/help-johan...

Transgender Day of Remembrance was founded in 1999 to mourn and honor those whose lives have been lost to transphobic violence.

This feature can be disabled by going to Invoicing -> Feedback and toggling 'Collect feedback' off there (on a business account, at least)

hey! if I send you an invoice, shut the fuck up. do not mention NSFW stuff or even the word "furry" or anything, Paypal is company of dickbags searching for any excuse to harass creators. using invoices is the smartest/best/safest way of working as a comm artist, and this is explicit targeting

once again prefacing a rant with "not siding with paypal because fuck them" but i cannot stress enough that the word "commission" being used is not enough to get your account terminated. "commission" is a very normal business/financial term. it'd be like terminating farmers for saying "tractor".

Cw Hazbin hotel, s2 (vague spoilers in thread) I’m adoring the direction this series is going with pretty much all of it. Striking the right balance for not glorifying what main characters have done in their past is very important!

The big ass ych is at 42 hours and is about halfway done, if you’re wondering
