So, I've now remembered that this place exists. I am not the best at keeping up with multiple social media's, which is great in this day and age for an artist... 😅

Happy valentines day :3 ❤️💙 I had to draw my 2 squishies together, and as I did so, this happened to become the opening scene of the entire comic... Excerpt in the alt text #Armalucis #Webcomic #Fantasy #art
I made New #Art! Decided to make a sectioned piece with each of the main cast of #ArmaLucis. I made it in about a week for a market stall I had recently, though I think I might make some bookmark versions next time. could be fun.

I am starting a studio! We are small and scrappy and have no money. Why am I doing this? Because the only ones who can protect art are the ones who value it. Disney using AI? Yuck. Netflix buying WB? Also yuck. In 10 years what is even going to be left.

Every day in 2026 I've woken up mad, without fail. Fuck ICE, fuck this whole fucking Administration. Bunch of evil evil evil dirty little liars. WE SEE THROUGH YOU!!!! *screams* what absolute scumbags. #art
My grievance with the notion of talent is how much it disempowers individuals and how deterministic it is — how it causes most to believe that there is an age limit to learning and developing skills, and most importantly, that it’s not as worthy of trying as a result
Its time for "Dawn finally remembered Bsky exists and she has art to show off" This time is the chibi drawings of my characters that I've been planning for months. Yes I did use this opportunity to make some design updates. you know how it is #ArmaLucis #Art
Character design I've been doodling on and off. Focused on using lanterns as more than a tool and as a weapon.
Ok I'm going to suggest a goal for everyone to try to accomplish right away: back up all of your files on an external hard drive or thumb drive. NOT the cloud! I mean on something you own not connected to the internet that some other company or person has control over.
I thought about doing one of those year end art summaries, but I realize that most of the art I made this year was in October... Not really going to be an interesting summary...
Finally got around to drawing my mascot properly in my chibi style, and I did it twice! First is the standard, or 'Casual Attire', second is a cute lil' fairy form (because why not?) More versions to come :3
consuming media and especially queer media about love and the connections between people reinforces how much I love love. I adore it as a theme, it makes me so happy to see joyful and unbridled love.
A lot of companies seem to be under the impression that we only care if gAI was used in the final product and using it for concept art/placeholder art is ok. gAl is poison that should be nowhere near any creative process. Not a single asset. Not a single placeholder sign. Give no inch.
From 2024. Apparently missed that the first time around. This just destroys my hype for Dark Heresy. If Rogue Trader was made without AI “helping” the concept art phase, there is zero reason to push it on to Dark Heresy development. I am gutted.
I can't believe I forgot to post this. The boys taking a short rest on their journey home <3 #fryr_au

An anonymous Japanese game studio is making applicants draw in front of them during interviews to prove they don't use generative AI 🎮 “Only human creators can produce compelling characters and graphics from scratch”
“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to
