Sorry for being so quiet, I have been trying to figure out how to move forward in my life with art still meaning a lot to me. Today is a special day, so I drew this and tried a new way to render hair. Seems like it's a hit, so looks like I'mma keep it <3 Happy Birthday, my best friend. #oc #ocart

I cannot express this any better.... the frustration is real

Hey, this may be silly to ask, but anyone who's a freelance artist got any tips on what I could do other than commissions? Job hunting right now, and I'd like to still consider it an option if I can. Any help is appreciated.

Okay, so Sea fairing boy, or Rock Idol Goddess Lady? Very important question.

Hey!! Back from the trip, and with a few ideas Expect coms to be open soon, and my Kofi.

I’ve know Edwin for actual decades now. We went to college together.We dont talk often & while I know he doesnt use AI at all, I do know hes one of many who’s had his work scraped given his prominence w/ Udon & Capcom Stuff like this illustrates how AI hurts us & our reps in ways beyond just theft.

Yeah, do not use AI detectors. This is kinda why I don't do any call outs or name and shame, there are far, far too many false accusations of AI use happening, and while I'll decline game when the artstyle doesn't pass my sniff test, the possibility for harm if I did put someone on blast is real.

Sorry for the inactivity, been working on going on a trip! I'll probably be sparse for a few weeks, I'm sorry--

keep this bookmarked for every stupid uneducated idiot who doesn't seem to believe that AI isn't scraped off of stolen shit they didn't pay for. I still run into people who genuinely don't believe it or think AI actually comes up with it all magically on its own

New: the highly controversial AI music generator Suno was hacked. The hacker sent us Suno source code; it shows the company scraped YouTube Music, Deezer, and Genius. In all, Suno scraped *decades* worth of music from the internet. Obviously didn't pay artists www.404media.co/hack-reveals...

Fun story and potential tip for artists: find a load boarding follower or two. When my account was brand new and less than 10 people knew I existed I had one follower who would like almost every piece I made. I appreciated his support so much that my partner knew his screenname- 🧵

you don't need to draw an entire webcomic you just need to draw 1000 pictures of your OCs kissing

With ArtFight a week in please remember that if an artist does not revenge your piece it does not mean they are ungrateful or they hate you or your work isn't good enough. Real life is still going on all while AF is, so there are so many factors as to why they might not have gotten to it. It's okay

4th attack FOR THE AMAZING Lulilux_x_ on instagram and af!! Denver. gosh. Such a pretty man. This one was so much fun to do <3 [ #artfight2026 #artfight #teamtragedy ]

Day 9 - Axel (sorry I only had time for a 30min sketch for today’s art 🙇‍♀️) #kingdomhearts #sketch #30ArtDays

I should not be drawing new character references. I should be focused on attacking other's on Artfight while I can. ... Why do I wanna draw a character I made like a week ago--

Sometimes I see an influx of followers and get curious about if I got put onto other lists. I am happy to see how many "Anti-AI" or "AI hater" lists I've been added to this year. Why, yes, I do hate AI, thank you for noticing.

#ARTFIGHT peeps! Help doggos get adopted this year!

Please Please Please Do not take Artfight too seriously. It's a non-obligatory gifting game. The points don't matter, it's all made up. Whether or not you get "traffic" on tiktok or whatever doesn't matter, all that matters is if the person you're gifting to likes it. And they should like it.
