All these bills and renewal fees keep sneaking up on me! This time it's my website/ portfolio domain renewal fee gdi I just need a few commissions to cover this upcoming charge coming up vgen.co/sonybaloneyart

If you're a writer or researcher who thinks AI is better than you at your job, I believe you. I just don't think you should pretend like your skill issue affects me

Old pieces from a project that never went anywhere, but I'm still quite proud of! The spirits of ruined or broken artifacts, trinkets, objects once cherished that time forgot (plus sketches and dev because I'm a concept artist and I like sharing that part too) #rpg #dnd #conceptart #commissions

If I finish today’s squat (with good form) then I’m squatting 200 next week and that’s wild to me

Gundam: After Action belgianbooleancg.com/projects/oAE...

I have had basically no time for personal art; but after watching the original Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy series with Alec Guinness, I was inspired to make some posters as a gift for a family member who is a big fan

I will trade extra time doing cardio on pull day (today) for the killer bicep pump I get later Something something trade deal something something maybe I can convince myself to do cardio 😭

Went ahead and made a kofi goal for all the sudden new expenses coming up If you are inclined to donate, I'll count it as an art sponsorship and I'll tag you in my next personal art post! ko-fi.com/sonybaloneya...

I'm trying to raise $276 to help pay my house's oil bill. It's been cold here in MA, and our oil tank has been refilled about once a month, costing over $500 each time >:( If I can raise this amount, it'll help my partner and I catch up from the last 2 months. my venmo is @nal-wu; kofi below

Short gym today but gym nonetheless

If memory serves, it was either Dread or Good Society, they were both around the same time, and I feel like that explains so much about me hahahahahahaha

Show of hands: who would be interested in a not-social media based directory website of artists who pledge to never use AI in their process? Is this something you would share around to everyone you know? Something you'd very much like to be listed on?

4 decades old today! 1986 represent! would love some shares on the ole' paintings, hope everyone's traveling well!

The month is going to end and I can’t make rent, please donate and share as you can!

hi friends! i'm in the final month of my living situation, and before I kick off a month of streams/games to raise funds for my move, I wanted to throw my k0-fi here as I'm a bit under for rent this month, and would appreciate any help to get me there! ko-fi.com/blackgirlmag...

Today marks the anniversary of my last day of employment. I want nothing more than to continue doing art for a living, but I can only march down this path for so long before I am forced to give up the dream. Every commission (even sketches!), every ko-fi helps me keep doing art a little longer.

You know what you could do today instead of doomscrolling all day is go pick up a copy of Persepolis. It is stunningly good.

Gonna make some (maybe Patreon shaped??) announcements next week, keep an eye out if those sorts of things intrigue you

Hey y’all I’m trying to keep my phone service on, I’m trying to find work and I can’t get potential offers without phone service. Please help if you can, thank you. ko-fi.com/dare2dream

Got some approval to show off some stuff from a game kinda glad i dont have to think about it anymore but it's heartbreaking to say i dont have to think about it anymore artstation.com/artwork/nJngb1 #skate

Ow (tone indicator: I’m so tired)

Alright, y’all. I missed the last couple of Fund Me Fridays because of life shit, but that ends now! Fund Me Friday is BACK! Drop your aid needs below this post and let’s save some lives. If not save them, make things better.

10 PAGE COMIC PAID GIG: here’s another one folks! In need of a professional comics artist for a ten page short comic. Must be great at drawing people, monsters, and backgrounds. Non-realistic / traditional comic book style wanted! Please email sequential examples to louissouthard(at)gmail(dot)com

In case folks were looking and wondering, I'm more than comfortable in styles other than High Fantasy Realism! If you need something more #stylized for your #conceptart, I'm happy to help! Props, characters, vehicles, organic or hard surface, doesn't matter! #characterdesign #lookingforwork

A better world. 🍃

Will delete later but boy I love waking up to More Rejection Letters I try to be stoic about it all but whoof sometimes…

Still looking for any help with rent! Please donate if you can!

I know it’s difficult right now, but I insist that you seek and enjoy beautiful things, even if it seems frivolous or irresponsible in the face of overwhelming horror. I want you to feed yourself artistically, spiritually, and literally, because you can’t Do The Work when you’re starving.

I’m tired and it’s too quiet

Chat We didn’t make it

No one lifts more efficiently than a powerlifter whose headphones are about to die

Still sick, but getting work done! Here's the widget for my new stream overlays, all animated. Combination frame-by-frame trickery, and vfx in Davinci Resolve.

#artshare Lets fight the self-deprecation, post your work and tell me about an art-skill you are proud of 🚫A\I

If you want to stand up against fascism, then you have to defend trans rights. It’s nonnegotiable. We all lose otherwise.

Hi everyone! I'm adding a new #rpg #characterart #commission tier moving forward: Character Icons! Atmospheric portraits composed with the explicit intention of reading well on a VTT. 100$ apiece for the next month as an inaugural deal before they go up to 150. I'm excited to see y'all's blorbos!!

just a quick reminder that the donut tutorial guy was big into NFTs and now he's shilling for AI. joey carlino's getting started is still my favorite quick-guide. it's getting a little out-of-date, but the basics are still the basics: #blender #B3D

I have opened a few slots for Full Render pieces (Spot Illustrations AND a NEW Full Illustration service). I would love to tackle some more of these more polished pieces alongside my sketches; so hit me up! >> vgen.co/CoveofMadness << #vgen #commissionsopen #commissions #artsky #ttrpgart

No pics today cuz I wasn’t feeling it but I did gym

I could use some Black wins. Some Black joy. Some Black good news. Tell me something positive that's happened for Black people this week.

Seeking voice actors to read the following perspectives in an audiobook for my queer mil sci fi Black Hole Guns For Hire: Captain Bho, trans woman Chief Zuri, black woman Lieutenant Connor, man This novel is like The Expanse, ALIENS, Starship Troopers and has lesbian sex. Reposts/Qs appreciated!

✨A BLACK ASS MF UPDATE✨ I HAVE RAISED ENOUGH TO PAY MY CLASS FEE. ONCE THE REST OF THE MONEY HITS, I’M GONNA PAY IT TODAY. I am so mf excited. Thank you all SO MUCH. I am still needing to secure my plane ticket and housing ASAP before prices get more expensive, so please keep sharing if you can!

Hey, PSA to folks hiring artists: DON'T ASK FOLKS TO WORK FOR "PASSION". I'm so glad you love your project. I really am, it's important to have that fire. Pay your employees. Someone wanting to be paid for the JOB THAT THEY DO isn't being "just in it for the money", it's WANTING TO BE ABLE TO LIVE.

Ow my shoulders Tone indicator: good workout

I may have to buy some new headphones soon… my gym set has been beat up and falling apart for ages, but they Work….for now. That may not be true soon 😭

I've had the wonderful chance today to help a couple of folks with pieces they're working on and I just wanted to say publicly: you can ALWAYS ask me a question, I love helping out and please never feel afraid to drop me a DM if you have an art question or anything <3 I'll try to answer when I can
