Posting dump this weekend or bust. Im just fricken exhaisted. Constantly. My day to day is I'm the only guy free and capable of doing physical labor jobs that have to be done even though I just wanna be at my desk.

I've spent today blast sketches of characters to update my #artfight profile. First one I'm doing a full of is myself in an action pose and wanted to show the power shading can give to a pose even when it looks a little weird flat

I should probably use a dedicated bitmap canvas program for sprite work. layers were not helping with this. it'll be a good reference going forward though I think. got the important bits to start off

I remember in highschool it wasnt that hard to make a gif. This took my whole night to take a bg out of and square desipte animating it on a scquared canvas. The hell happened?

Just a thought I wanna share. I'm not as big of a creator as I wanna be yet, but I pride myself on always designing all of my art for myself or my day job with full intent, and It makes me HATE how every day I hear how much gen AI is shoved into things more and more every day. Put in the hours damit

Its like a wednesday. I don't know what to tell ya. Happy next year comin. Buckle up. Im just catching up on my commitment to my sketch books. Their name is epi the hedgie and that have a med pack.workin on glasses.

Imma say this very clear and simple. STOP USING AI IN EVERYTHING. now imma say it less simple. AI tech isnt gonna replace everything, we can flat out refuse to use it (looking at you embbed ai programs that try to replace my power buttons) and the tech is wasted on all the wrong jobs.
