We'd much rather be drawing! But it depends on being vocal about this. Drawing porn has allowed me to contribute meaningfully and consistently to my retirement fund for the first time in my life. These censorship bills will take away futures. Help us fight them.

Saw a post saying "I don't want NSFW accounts to talk about voting, just let me jack off" Buddy, NSFW artists and sex workers are being constantly attacked by a government of nonces trying to distract from their own crimes by pinning the blame on porn. They have the right to speak up about this.

Hahahahahaha I wanted to type something here but I'm laughing too hard "could you still get through an entire workday" what the fuck, man, you just sharpied "I am incompetent" on your forehead.

My answer is LOL ROFL (dickbrain) The terminally AI-pilled can't even *imagine* some people have *never* asked stochastic parrots to cheat at their job for them.

Since I often get used what brush I ink with, I figured I'd address something. It has very little to do with what brush I use and everything to do with the technique I've built up over the years. I can achieve the same effect with a lot of different brushes. I will however gladly share the names:

The amount of C-Suite or just people making important leadership decisions who have trouble with object permanence and simple cause/effect is very upsetting.

An initiative on the ballot in Washington state in November would require all athletes seeking to play girl's sports from kindergarten to high school to undergo "genetic screening, a testosterone-levels test, or an examination of their reproductive anatomy" before they can play

Hello I have made this due to a mutual having issues with some folks on here forgetting this fact and shouting at him for it. Feel free to use it as a handy PSA x

The power of light and shadows

The TOS being so strict that they control you offsite is the problem; sites like Patreon and Kofi have offsite clauses too. The social criminalization of the suggestion that somewhere you might be doing nsfw is a problem. It's branding a person as obscene and we need consumers to stand up for us

a bunch of popular ASMR artists lost their channels forever this week, after YouTube cited them for violating terms against "sexually gratifying" content: www.404media.co/youtube-asmr...

Bumping for the evening crowd, my latest animated music video was just released on youtube today. You can check out "Ultimate Sacrifice" at the link below! FULL VIDEO: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7c4g...

Procrastinating once again by doing cool challenges. I haven't tried #limitedpalette in a while, it was fun! #augpalettee26 #StarTrek #StarTrekLowerDecks #lowerdecks #BeckettMariner #BradBoimler I didn't cheat btw, I just overlaid and multiplied the palette to achieve darker and lighter colors.

Newsom is terrible in multiple ways, but for people in my (vaguely hand waving) arts and entertainment industry - this particular shitty position will ensure that it's even more difficult to make a living in this world. And it will explicitly empower fascists. So into the trash with this one!

QRP with your most popular piece on bsky ~ Gotta be this one. It was also my most popular on the birdsite. Also my most popular on Tumblr (I don't even have a Tumblr). It's nearly thirty years old. Sometimes I feel like a one-hit wonder.

Twitch and Amazon are apparently planning to use streams to train Generative AI. Multiple sources tell me it will be announced in the coming months, despite some internal friction against it. Creators may be able to opt out of some training data.

Being anti-AI isn't enough. You should be pro-art, pro-artist, pro-writer, pro-worker. Don't expend all your energy tearing people down. Spend it lifting people up instead. Make their voices so loud, their art so visible, it drowns out the slop.

One of the things I am reclaiming is the joy I had when I was playing fighting games. I had some terrible people in my friend group who routinely put me down and would always say things like, "He let you win." It was one of many things I gave away of myself to keep the peace.

In response to the unprecedented number of game developers laid off this year, we have created a bundle on itch to benefit a Game Industry Hardship Fund, managed by @videogameworkers.bsky.social. More than 100 games for 10+ bucks! Please share widely and donate generously! itch.io/b/3802/game-...

I digitized the entire collection and have made it available for FREE. Donations are welcome to help us with our big move, and to offset the cost of digitizing. ko-fi.com/s/d93ab618bd

More people should watch Escaflowne. Shoujo mecha isekai with a love triangle that's never actually a love triangle, main characters with realistic human motivations, and one antagonist who is literally the genderfuck manifestation of the trauma of a ghost in one character's narrative. Good shit.
