Happy Indigenous People's Day 🖤

My shots from Monkey Wrench Episode 6. I got to do a lot of Beebs! #AtroxArt

an understanding that the metric for modesty on a fat person vs a skinny person is wildly skewed, especially since a lot of accessible and even alleged plus-size clothing simply isn't constructed in a way that supports or makes any attempt to flatter fat bodies

Aubrey Gordon@yrfatfriend.bsky.social · yesterday

Fellow fat people/people who wear plus sizes: what would real solidarity from your thinner friends & family look like for you? (Once again, asking thin & midsize people to sit this one out & just listen. Take notes & take action!)

so i got some foot pedals to help me with a chronic condition i call "gaming while being an artist that didn't do enough wrist exercises and is pushing 40" and made art while trying to test out a comfortable position and height

there's an immense power in recognizing when a piece of media is objectively bad and vibing with it anyway, or when stuff just isn't for you and that's okay but every now and then i'll remember something that had potential and did fuckall with it and get irrationally upset about it

meditation is one of those things where every time someone talks about it and how it helps them it all sounds completely fake because my brain could never. "just draw the rest of the owl's attention span" lookin ass

holy shit!! artists!!! you guys!! pinlite.app someone made a pinterest facade site that just strips away all the dumb bullshit and gives you only the images this is AMAAZINNNGGGG. Not to mention the web 1.0 grey and blue link vibe lol

honk

i'm a little bit of a rebel

powerscaling's such a funny concept, if only because one of the guys at the top of my list is "guy who knows how to swing baseball bat really, REALLY hard" in a setting where folks are using guns and magic on the regular

i will never hold it against anyone for using "she/her" since that's still accurate like 80% of the time, but every time i get a "they/them" in my direction i get a lil mini dopamine hit. grand gestures are nice but sometimes love really is just someone noticing something small and committing to it

CSP's been my weapon of choice since back when it was still Manga Studio. It's not perfect (looking directly at you, text tools and lack of realtime CMYK editing), but if the freeware floating around isn't your thing and you hate Adobe-styled UI as much as i do, I say give it a shot

Speaking of eyes! The pupil does not rest directly on the outside of the eyeball. It's actually sunk in a bit, resting under the (somewhat raised) cornea. If you reflect this in your art - even your stylized art - it will make your characters seem more alive.

felt like doodling a tiny taiz in his "my hobbies are parkour and spinning this knife because despite working 12 hour shifts at the docks six days a week and sharing a 1 bedroom apartment with two other dudes i'm too poor for anything else" era

born to "please tell me i'm neat i need the validation" forced to "you're just saying that there's no way i'm neat lol"

goofy girl

it started as "taiz gets laid out for like two weeks from an injury. it'd be kinda funny if he had some peach fuzz" and has turned into "maybe i should give pre-timeskip taiz the peach fuzz to accentuate the 19yo burnout look"

"that new cool thing is vibe-coded" is the new "they decided to make the sickest thing ever into an april fool's joke"

sometimes you wanna doodle a pretty girl looking kinda longing and what you wind up with is that one comic panel of an oldass man going "i don't know... that's scary..."

This kimono features an all-over kiredori (overlapping scraps) pattern rendered in a sophisticated palette of deep purples, rich burgundy, navy blue, golden yellow, and taupe, creating a dynamic mosaic effect that suggests both broken pottery and stained glass windows. 1926-1940, Japan

made the mistake of being ready 20 mins before i have to leave so now i'm just sitting here thinking about how if i do literally anything to pass the time right now i will probably explode or something

Artist! Quote with your art with dramatic lighting!

I was going over some of the trends/eras of illustration with my students today and Corporate Memphis created the most conversation. It was compared to a business man in a happy face mask, Arial & pop music. Good in contexts like brightening up a train station, bad in masking the cruelness of tech.
