Felt like drawing Leon. While I love Leon with his dirty blond hair from the later games, OG RE2 Leon with his deep brown hair will always be my favourite ❤️ 🫶 #leonkennedy #rebhfun #rebhfanart

Hi there, I'm Melsie! 🐝 Graphic Designer & Illustrator 🚫 NO AI 🍯 links > www.melsieferastudio.com/links
I got a set of Gouache and paper from a client last year but never got the chance to try it out. Florals are always my go-to subject to draw when experimenting with new materials! Made with Royal Talens Gouache, Bruynzeel Color Pencils and Caran d'Ache Neocolor II Pastel Crayons on Cotton paper.
I am sick and tired of printing company employees being condescending to me because they hear a younger woman on the phone. Sometimes it feels the same as going to the car dealership smh
Clearly I've not been vocal enough about genAI cause genAI people keep following me so let's fire some rent lowering shots Fuck genAI, it has no use, steals from artists, destroys the environment If every game has genAI going forward, I'll just play the 40 years of games that don't Hire humans
i created this meme like 4 years ago on twitter and it went super viral and i think i got like 20 death threats. that's how you know i was cooking with this one
Did you know you can just commission artists to make things for you? You give them some money and they create art for you! You don't have to do any work and you get art custom-made just for you! Or you can get involved and offer references and info and make it more of a collab. You can just do that!
dude you gotta love people. thats the whole point. if youre not loving people what are you even doing
when I wake up I think of YAOI I make lunch while thinking of YAOI while I work I think of YAOI when I make dinner it’s always YAOI on the mind when I sleep it’s to dream of YAOI and then I WAKE UP and think of YAOI all over again i need someone to take me out back
Freelance work is so incredibly stressful right now 😭😭😭 gotta love underpaid work with deadlines that ended last week
please understand. artists don't get nearly as much feedback (praise, comments or otherwise) as you think they do. much less than years and years ago. we don't know how much you like it. we don't know how it affected you. unless you say something, or recommend it, comment, reblog. anything.
mimi ⚔️ @ making comics@knightlyaffair.bsky.social · 4mo agogo tell your favorite artists you like their work. you may think they hear it enough or your praise would be identical to someone else's so you say nothing, but i promise you they would love to hear it. and sometimes they need to hear it.
Where do we obtain these commercial-use references? • Dedicated sites like trueref.io • There are countless ref pack creators on the artstation.com marketplace • Individual creators with Ko-Fi or Gumroad stores, such as jookpubstock.com, adorkastock.com and faestock.com Have a look around!
Hampus Flink 🐷💢@hampus.bsky.social · 4mo agoUsing references as an artist is standard practice and good, but if you plan to make money from your work, please consider using references that expressly permit commercial use. It's not really cool to profit off other people's photos or art without their permission (1/2)
I can't believe we're going back to this kind of discourse but: Using references isn't cheating Using 3D mannequins and photo references is STANDARD, even for professional artists Shaming people and pushing them to draw exclusively from memory is harmful and can set back people who are learning
Sometimes you are not given what you searched for, but what you need
Trans folks: as best you can, tune out the headlines, spend time with one another, build friendship and community. This wave is going to break: their political projects have never been less popular. Were gonna make it through this year and on the other side all our enemies will fall. Stay alive
as a professional illustrator working for Magic, D&D, etc and handling tight deadlines on the daily: my advice is that you must spare time, at least a few hours a week, for personal work. and above all, your personal work should please you to create it
Amalas@amalasrosa.bsky.social · 4mo agoBeing an artist means you’re drawing daily for hours while wishing you had time to draw
Ai chumps will never understand doing an all nighter on an idea you had to get out of your system, a bad idea and poorly executed but you got it out and it’s yours and you can file that away in your brain and it becomes part of the recipe for your next brilliant idea. And I think we should start kil
I know there’s folks out there who think I go on about AI because I’m a SAG shill or a wannabe voice actor or whatever they wanna project onto me. Truth is I just fucking hate AI. I spent a lot of my life loving media and it’s just… stripping the life from it. The love from it.
