I need to spend more time doing actual attacks instead of adding characters lmao, but finally added Valiant to my ArtFight character roster and made him a pretty new profile pic! artfight.net/character/10...

Don't know how much time I will really have to #ArtFight this year but it was imperative that I draw Finn in a Mystery-themed outfit to match my team choice!

Junior yr math. Had a great soph math teacher who consistently gave us time to work on homework for the last 10 minutes of class w/the explicit idea that we get up and talk to each other (or him). Didn't care if I doodled or stared out the window. Got a B for the first time in years! Next year...

As a science fiction writer I really fucking resent tech bros for ruining the phrase "artificial intelligence." 80 years of it being all about cool androids and interesting computers destroyed by five years of "Spicy autocorrect making everything shittier for money." NEVER FORGIVE.

I tested the winds, and it's that time again... ✨🎉 commissions now OPEN for May/June!! 🎉✨ shoot me an email at amyking.art@gmail.com along with the type of commission you're interested in and a brief overview (2-3 sentences max) of the subject and I'll get back to you with info on the next steps!

Really nice thread about the point of the MetGala and the idea of fashion as art. (I think fashion is art! And I think the arts often get shat on by people who view them as consumable goods and/or pointless status symbols because they are alienated from the world of making stuff.)

Pierre Bourdieu once argued that the question of whether something is art isn't answered by the artist's intention or even the object itself. Instead, the quality of being "art" is conferred by a community — curators, dealers, auction houses, audiences, etc. 🧵

The way profit maxxing corpo culture has invaded every form of art through algorithms pushing people into daily posting is really weighing on me lately. Efficiency and regularity of making "content" being prized above all else feels so grim, man.

my latest books cartoon for @theguardian.com

I think it's important to have one oc who you can just stick in whatever silly little outfit you feel like drawing. Currently, mine is Finn! #art

Once again the power to use my own art/OCs as a portrait in a video game has compelled me and I spent a week making this instead of just playing Pathfinder WotR! (Had a blast testing this in game and actually playing is gonna be my weekend now, lmao!)

Sometimes you really just need to break out the gouache and colored pencils and make some weird little creatures again. I did a bunch of these guys in like 2024 and they're just perfect little bite size art snacks. Just shapes and colors.

Been awhile since I drew Nora and her skeleton guardian, George! I've had these guys since college and some day I will find the right way to tell their story! #ocsky

Constable Earstripe. I’m currently reading the „Saint of Steel“ series by T. Kingfisher. It has romance, hilarity, absurdity, horror, and badgerfolk, a.k.a. gnoles! I’m also working on a gouache brushset for Procreate, which this was made with. =)

I think the biggest damage to the art community was the obsolescence of gallery sites (y!, deviantart, etc) and the rise of scroll-by social media, like twitter and even tumblr. Art is not ''content'', you shouldnt need to post art every day (or every month!) to be relevant. This mindset sucks.

Went out to (try) to see the Blood Moon last might with friends and decided I should give my oc with eclipse-theming a blood moon fit. Finn is usually more of a solar eclipse theme but they can have a little blood moon as a treat. I'm sure they'll be so, so normal about it!

I don't post sketch wips very often but I'm workin' on: a fan art
