artists support each other when systems will not. there's little safety net. it is resilience. artists are not your competitors. artists are your peers, mentors, and the ones who will defend the ability to create sustainably. to those who struggle to continue drawing, you are an artist.
struggling so hard to get past this deep seeded embarrassment about sharing my thoughts and opinions (and most importantly, my art) publicly i don't know when it started because i used to do it without issue but now i have so much anxiety about it for no discernible reason
commission for @adomania.bsky.social, their character Laz! i fell in love with his design, thank you for trusting me with him 🤍🤎💙 #art
wanting to get into 3D modeling with blender but it seems so daunting when what i really want to practice is digitally painting said models
worked on so much this year in the name of practice that never saw the light of day, next year the goal is to get more into comic work and doing full compositions (which i plan to share way more of) but the learning never ends when you can never decide what you want to actually DO forever
Some concept work I did for a scrapped project :,) Really happy with the color work for these! #conceptart #illustration #art

wish there was a way to have a quoted post where it would tack on below the original and others could tack on their own thoughts or you could do it to yourself and have a long post thread. basically tumblr style posting, but you can turn the permission off and you'd still have post limit
fucked up and evil that to make a comic i have to think of a story and can't just draw girls kissing
I came across an outdated guide on image grid sizing crop/proportions for bsky earlier, and I felt it was important to create an updated version! Please use this new guide instead!
