If you're a VTuber or livestreamer and I recently followed your account, it's because I'm looking for new creators to follow and support and eventually make a name for myself as a design services provider in that space. I look forward to watching your streams! #vtuber #design #streamer

Any of you also experiencing weird algorithm behaviour on SOcial Media apps? My TikTok, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter are all fucked. I am being served the most random and irrelevant content from people I have never seen and probably never want to see as it doesn't align with my interests

⭒⋆✵ ARTSHARE ✵⋆⭒ Let's share some love and kindness! 🔮 Post your art 🔮 Repost this for visibility 🔮 Invite friends and support other artists 💀 Human artist only, no Ai, no NFTs, keep it SFW please I'll RT my favorites through the days 💜 #selfpromo #artshare

Something I keep getting back to a lot, especially in my art lessons, is the importance of the absolute, basic fundamentals. If you want to make your art better, just the fundamentals will already get you 90% of the way there.

After watching @jameslee.bsky.social 's video about how he dropped Adobe, Linux, Resolve and Affinity is looking VERY attractove as a toolkit as opposed to Windows and Adobe... If only I could dump After Effects entirely for Motion Design.

The last two projects were amazing! This one will be guaranteed to be a success!

I'm having a cozy, slow morning today, so let's do an #ArtShare! 🩷 🕯️Drop your beautiful work of any medium! (artistic nudity okay) 👌🏻 🕯️Interact with others! (spoons allowing 🥄) 🕯️Repost this? 👀 under 100? lmk and I'll repost from your media tab as well 🩷🩷

No context.

A reminder that small press/indie comic creators may use Blambot's indie fonts (those listed with a $0 license option), free of charge in print or in webcomics--even if you're making money with your projects!

1000 Follower Giveaway! So I've reached my milestone of 1000 followers, so as a little thank you I'd like to host a free *Half Body* giveaway! I will announce the winner on the 6th of January 2025! All you have to do is like, repost, make sure you are followed and comment with a pic of your OC!

It's 2am and I have an amazing idea for the brief I need to work on tomorrow... I pop off the idea in a mail to my inbox and then sit down and go "It's a shit idea" -sigh

hey man. you should go draw

I levelled up in Art Class today, learnt about Mass Tone and using Silhouette to make a figure drawing. #figuredrawing #art

If you'd like to see work and creative milestones I share on socials - Mostly you can find me here, X and Discord. I'm busy with my Tik Tok and trying to get Insta to stop telling my I've been logged out. My Youtube will happen later 2025. Hope to see you all being your best in 2025.

Discussing Bluesky migration in terms of liberal flight misses the simple fact that most people use social media for fun not influence and this platform, unlike X and cruddified Facebook, doesn’t feel like you’re wading through shit to reach your friends. It’s not that deep.

I'll be posting here more often and my Twitter accounts will eventually cease to get any attention For any updates about art and design that you follow me for, you'll mostly see it here on this platform.

Been working for some time on this one and am going to make a call on the linework to rather move on to the flats. #artist #pinup #tiefling #dnd #OC

Further progress in art class on this nude, working towards getting it ready for the next phases of inking. Art class hosted by @gerbrandart.bsky.social #art #Artist #fineart

In this video I show the rough sketching stage of my OC Saiya for my Graphic Novel project I am busy working on youtu.be/gkOsn-1KW1k?...

Today's art class was cool. Worked on getting firgure drawing done and rehashed lessons on plumblines, flow, angles and proportions. Art class hosted by @gerbrandart.bsky.social #artclass #fineart #figuredrawing #gesturedrawing #drawing

✨🏬 Somehow I need to put together $800 by the end of May in order to pay off a debt that's been hanging over my head. That's only $100 extra a week (as of 03/01) but any donations from now until then will go towards that debt! ko-fi.com/sgathan/goal...

Today's art class was quite the challenge but it was a great lesson and I learnt a ton from @gerbrandart.bsky.social

⭐COMMISSIONS ARE OPEN⭐ Please don't hesitate to dm me on discord @alypiart if you'd like some work done! 💜

@skaavart.bsky.social has an amazing Kickstarter going, titled Human Art. It's an awesome opportunity to support art made with love and emotion by people. www.kickstarter.com/projects/ska...

I did this painting last year, inspired by Lilith, and I tried creating a theme of a powerful figure, by adding the halo and the horned crown along with the majestic, black-feathered wings.

What does being a creator mean to you? Does it bring you excitement when you make something you're proud of? Does it bring you fulfilment when someone hires you for your experience and lets you help them? Let me know if the comments! #creators

I painted this character for Hannah James, an Indie Author, for her Night Heir series. This is Jonathan, a vampire prince and he is the male main charactet for the series. It was a lof of fun making this character come to life. #indieauthor

It's February and I've come to the realisation that I have not posted art in over 6 months almost anywhere. Here's a Work-In-Progress of one of my OC's, it's a project I've been chipping away at for some time, working on it in little bits as I go. #artist #artistsonbluesky

Thanks to @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com I was able to do the domain DNS verification on my BlueSky handle.
