I hate the idea that there's a meaningful distinction between "erotic/sexual art" and "pornography." just because it's porn doesn't mean it can't be important or meaningful. just because it ISN'T porn doesn't mean it's better art. it doesn't stop being art just because someone's getting off to it.
some tips for actually doing this: -shitty is better than incomplete -you are the ONLY one who can do what YOU'RE doing -people LOVE seeing the artist's hand in their work, esp in the age of genAi -the more you say "this sucks," the more you believe it. the opposite is also true
Keezy Young🌼@keezyyoung.bsky.social · 4w agowhen you're surrounded by what seems like everybody admitting that they feel awful about themselves, it can start to feel normal and expected that you also feel awful about yourself. but actually, it's okay to not want that! you can feel better! it takes work, and effort, but it's on the table!
if bluesky hits me with age verification i will straight up never post here again
It's pretty simple... If you use AI to create art, then you're not an artist. If you use AI to write, then you're not a writer. If you use AI to make music, then you're not a musician. If you use AI to animate, then you're not an animator. If you use AI to make films, then you're not a filmmaker.
how it actually feels posting more about my OCs because my job has put me in limbo
There is someone who stops scrolling to look at your art. There is someone who shares your art with other people. There is someone who keeps a memory of your art. There is someone who cares.
if my account is marked as nsfw lmk. i try very very hard to use this already sufficient labeling system
