Leo sketch. #teenagemutantninjaturtles #fanart #sketch #art #illustration

Time For Bed. (Hopefully the Japanese makes sense.) #clipstudiopaint #drawing #art #pinup #japanese #bunnygirl #bunny

Work in progress. Gonna make her hand glow or make a mess trying. #acrylicpainting #fantasyart #woman #magic

Graphic sketch. Mostly. #art #sketch #graphicdesign #illustration

Bunny sketch. #bunnygirl #acrylics #sketch #art

Took longer than I thought it would. #samusaran #metroid #sketch #art #fanart

It makes me wish that unique, physical media regained it's presence in people's everyday lives. Or just the stuff that isn't boosted by the rich or by legacy corporations.

It's truly frightening how many terabytes of information are being posted per day for free. How much will go unnoticed, and how the few that will be noticed are being fought over to financially survive.

More work in progress. I'm going to be at StocktonCon Winter in Stockton, Ca on the 15th and 16th of February. And I'll be selling my comics and original paintings and sketches. So please come on by if you can. #bookofheretics #comicbooks #stocktoncon #stocktonconwinter #clipstudiopaint #wip

www.drivethrucomics.com/en/publisher... Reposting my work in progress for my comic, but without the Amazon link. Either way, tough days ahead. #bookofheretics #comicbooks #art #workinprogress #clipstudiopaint #comicart

More Samus sketching. #samusaran #metroid #fanart #sketch #drawing

It was supposed to be a sketch of Samus Aran. Yeah... #sketch #metroid #nintendo #fanart

Cap is fun because he's all about pressure and survivability. Since K/D/A's only really matter for Conquest and Doom, jumping in the fray to stop a push or disrupt the healer or to shut down a DPS seems to make sense. It helps to have a good healer, but the goal is the same I guess #marvelrivals

I think that Adam Warlock is the best Healer/Assist in the game because his heals can multi-target and you can assist other healers. But you have to be in the fight with the team, and its much safer with Luna and Dagger and even Jeff to be a healer. And you have to plan your ult #marvelrivals

Raphael sketch. #raphael #teenagemutantninjaturtles #sketch #fanart

Started to digitally ink my comic. So far...something, something. #bookofheretics #comicbooks #clipstudiopaint #clipstudio #workinprogress #art

Cheerful Dragoness sketch because that's my favorite skin in the game from my favorite character. #squirrelgirl #marvelrivals #sketch #fanart

New Splinter sketch. #splinter #teenagemutantninjaturtles #tmnt #sketch #drawing

Stumbled on this old Splinter sketch while I was looking for a file. I forgot how well this sketch turned out. I'm glad I was able to sell it, but it makes me wish I had made it a print. #splintertmnt #teenagemutantninjaturtles #tmnt #sketch #pencildrawing

Its better to figure out the game first with the characters you like and then figure out if you want to do more. Then you can figure out what you did in your wins and losses and how the mechanics work from a place of comfort. And it's harder to do that when you are caught up in the meta.

Kinda like how the worst advice you'll get for general weightlifting exercises and meal plans will come from pro-bodybuilders and pro-weightlifters. Because their plans were built for people who are already deep in the sport and are trying to compete, not causals or first-timers.

All tier lists should come with the caveat that they are for hardcore gamers and pro-gamers. They are not for causal gamers, gamers who don't do tourneys, and especially not for people who will try to brute-force into ranks they shouldn't be in because they want to ride the meta to victory.

Why is it that meta gaming in Warframe is actually fun, but meta gaming in Marvel Rivals is soul-crushing? Or maybe I should just stay out of Ranked and stick to Quick Play and Conquest and Doom? Probably that one.

I think I need a team in order to get past Silver 1 and get into Gold. But I don't have anyone I can play with and going solo is a really, really bad idea. Really bad. #marvelrivals

Dwarf sketch. #fantasyart #dwarven #sketch #art

A player stood in front of the enemy gate with a Scarlet Witch at Silver 1. How is that possible that they could rise that far up? I am legitimately confused. #marvelrivals

It seems like the better players are either in Silver 3 or in Gold because Silver 2 and 1 are filled with bad matchmaking from people who somehow got out of Bronze who had no business getting out of Bronze. A Scarlet Witch stood in front of the enemy door at the start of the match I got rolled in.

I'm hard stuck at Silver in Marvel Rivals and I can't figure out if it's because I suck or because I get matched with people who suck or both or Matchmaking is deliberately making things as one-sided as possible. But at least I reported my first racist in the game, so that's... yeah? #marvelrivals

Ninja Turtle sketch I did today. #tmnt #sketch #art

I forgot to add the link to the collected 4 issues of #bookofheretics a.co/d/gJ3jz6a www.drivethrucomics.com/product/5049...

More work in progress for the next issue of #bookofheretics www.amazon.com/dp/B0C1TZXQFG www.drivethrucomics.com/product/4321... #sketch #art #comicbooks #fantasy

I think it's a good start. So hopefully I'll see an easy end to it. #teenagemutantninjaturtles #acrylicpainting #workinprogress

Quickie sexy bunny sketch. Not much but it's still fun and I like the carrot hairpins. #bunnygirl #sketch #art

The next thing to paint and whatnot. #sketch #teenagemutantninjaturtles #art #fanart

The reason why I'm insistent on calling art a skill rather than a talent is because I want art to be recognized as a trade as much as it is a form of expression and communication and creativity. As a specialized skill that requires hard work and dedication to perform at a high level.

Happy New Year 9x12 acrylics on watercolor panel canvas. Painting a Ninja Turtle next. #art #acrylicpainting #sketch #demonwoman

Next thing to paint. Should be fun. #sketch #demon

Yup...this is me.

Djinn 9x12 acrylics on watercolor canvas. And I'm really glad I didn't buy the large canvas from Hobby Lobby. #djinn #jinn #acrylics #sketch #art

Which would hopefully divorce the notion that artistic creativity comes from survival or the generation of profit needed to survive. Because you may get creative to survive, but it's not by choice, rarely repeatable in better circumstances, and it comes with a lot of baggage.

Or the government can subsidize the arts by proclaiming it as a essential need for civilization and the citizenry. And then create a stable base of both jobs and wages so that less of the onus is on corporations who don't care about the arts other than as a means of maximizing their own profits.

I still think you can make a living as an artist, it's just harder to do so because the process is becoming so industrialized (now with the help of A.I. Image Generation) that commercial art is being transformed into a low skill/unskilled job rather than skilled labor.
