If art is your hobby and you do it as a job, you need to accept that there will be times (sometimes years) where you lose that hobby. I think it's really unfair that monetizing art is so often framed as "you'll never work a day in your life" and not "you might lose something very important to you"

Happy #TransDayOfVisibility! What a good day to buy books and comics by trans creators, what do you think? I'll be sharing books/comics and links to buy them throughout the day, maybe links to shops as well. Feel free to share yours too!

《GOHAN BLACK》inspired by Dragon Ball Sparking ZERO Took some liberties and gave him a new form that I am uncreatively calling "Super Saiyan Violet" lol #DragonBallSparkingZERO #sparkingZERO #GohanBlack

Slowly my artistic vision is coming to the finish line. The face looks better here (he blushed a bit, XD). But I'll still work on his final look. #dbs #piccolo

Probably my most conservative-coded thing is I have a particular pet peeve for men in positions of responsibility at any scale who get whiny and pretend to be aggrieved and sensitive and hurt at the slightest application of pressure

Seems like a good time to share this old clip of Hayao Miyazaki from Ghibli Studios reaction to generative AI in art.

THIS! Everyone can learn to draw. If you only knew how much I struggle with fine motor control and coordination and yet here I am, drawing. Drawing, writing, all creative pursuits are SKILLS you can very much learn to do. At this point anyone who uses genAI is either hateful or lazy or both.

A BLATANT reminder that I will NEVER support Al or use it.

That cool artist you admire is probably struggling real hard right now and trying to make it seem like things aren't as bad as they are. You should give them some love.

please don’t text me war plans, because I’m actually at capacity right now and I don’t think I can hold appropriate space for you. do you have someone else you could reach out to?

nowhere near fully rendered but it is really really fun to play with his features in different ways

The opening example in this (great) piece—students using genAI when asked to write about their pop-culture obsessions—strikes a similar ??? note within me as people using it to write fanfiction. Truly, what is going on in the minds of people who want to outsource...enjoying their personal interests?

we will never know peace in fandoms again until people stop assigning moral value to liking or disliking characters and ships. these things are just abstract concepts. how about treating people online and creatives like human beings instead

I'm working on Piccolo's look in my style, but it's going hard. Especially with the face. But at least it looks aesthetically pleasing. #dbs #piccolo

I’m challenging you, the person reading this, to go and leave a comment on the last three fics and pieces of art you enjoyed. The art of fandom is communication and collaboration between people enjoying content, praise those willing to make art/fic you enjoy. We need it as much as you want it.

Dragon Ball Fanart Alright! another one from Dragonball. Gohan and Piccolo are my favorites from Dragon ball. I like their relationship. So I had to paint them fighting together! #fanart #Dragonball #art #artist #Illustration #DBZ

Artists feel pressured to make new art too quickly at the moment. Normalise artists fucking disappearing for months. Just walk off into the woods for a year and come back with a single sketch. It’s good for you
