The Sickness was massively influential for me, as a teenager just getting into metal, but David Draiman can properly get fucked.

Who’s been putting off filling in that government consultation on AI then? Because you took one look and realised that fucking thing was designed SPECIFICALLY to put you off? Don’t worry, there are three online guides to help you: The Association of Illustrators theaoi.com/news/the-cop...

Post exertion fatigue just gets worse, year on year. It's been two weeks since Pomfinity and I'm *still* not back to what I'd call a working week - however short that may be these days. :\

Every artist I know is really struggling right now. Financially, emotionally, their confidence, in general. If you like an artist's work, support them any way you can. Buying their stuff or subscribing to their Patreon is great, but words of encouragement are also incredibly helpful.

I'm 55% of the way funded on buying my first art easel that I could use for painting my traditional pieces. Right now I have to paint in bed which is *not* ideal lol. Help an artist out- throne.com/prismatrix/i...

So, pins with video game (possibly other) monsters doing the Korean finger heart, yes?

Fighting off the post-con blues with some new shirt designs. Bloodborne, Dark Souls and Dandadan ideas in progress!

i dislike the notion that "things have to be difficult to be valuable" as a counterpoint to AI, because ime most of the stressors that make my work difficult are the result of capitalism and ableism, not the work itself

I never really have time to draw my OCs or my favourite canon characters, so I figured I could give this a try after seeing so many other artists doing it too. If you'd like to see me working on more passion projects, consider tossing a coin my way ❤️ ko-fi.com/c/e8a4e44ac4

A friend shared this with me, so now I'm sharing with you: This is a fork of Blender that has an overhaul of the interface that adds colored icons, verbose tooltips, and more industry-standard behavior across the board. www.bforartists.de Check out this before and after of the modifiers menu:

Hello! I have digital brushes available! These are currently compatible with procreate only but I also have Clip Studio/ PS Brushes in my shop!! I would appreciate a repost or comments for engagement! (I need some funds to go to the doctor, I have a chronic condition that needs to be checked🥲)

Found this gem while purging my account, the only thing that ever did well on my oldest fandom account and sadly, still kind of accurate.

I think now more than ever its important to encourage anyone of marginalized experience to indulge themselves creatively. art making, storytelling, etc. have always been the places where we have thrived and found community. it's never too late to build a world, make a character, write a poem. do it.

Performing the Dark Souls of clearing out Marie Londo

For anyone confused on why this might make artists uncomfortable, here's an explanation! It can make them feel like... -their OC is derivative/copied (or that a story took their ideas, which does happen!) -they poorly represent their own OC if the compared character is nothing like them

Not sorry for making NPCs be simps for my characters, I will, in fact, do it on the regular because it is what they (all parties involved) deserve.

I've currently got this weird giant snail in my house.

Autumn My Love a beautiful romantic one for vally day - thanks to @eljay2.bsky.social for reminding me I did this, I had absolutely no memory of this one whatsover

Seriously, creative folks: Don't be afraid to let people know your stuff is out there for them, or worry that "now is not the time for that." People are stressed and freaked out and looking for the things that will give them a moment of rest and joy. It is EXACTLY the time for what we do. Tell them.

I actually have no idea if people find me intimidating or not! I don't *think* I am? I'm likely more afraid of most other people than they are of me. 😂

I keep calling the main @sunnyconanimeexpo.com "Big Sunny", like it's Big Tesco. 😂
