While I am very excited to work on building my art pressence, I have made the big mistake that every starting off artists is warned about: I worked myself too hard. So I am instituting Tues and Fri as 'off' days to allow myself more rest and recovery. I may still draw, but no socials or comm. work.

A dyslexic 2-D Artist having fun making art. 🚫 Do not train, scrape, link, repost, or reference my work for use in any AI/LLMs or their associated accounts. 🚫 ✍🏼 Commissions: YCH Emote available, 6 slots open! 🌐 Website: https://serinaceres.carrd.co/
Reminder: I do not consent to -ANY- AI training off of my artwork. Any pro-AI accounts or accounts that use generative AI that follow me will be swiftly blocked. Thank you, @faeroyal56.bsky.social, for letting me know an AI-cuck came into my space.
Finished #commission! I haven't gotten to do a #halftone in a good while, much less one with a spot color. This really stretched my thinking, and made me realize that perspective is still a weakness of mine. Excited to practice and get even better at drawing! #digitalart #csp #stylized
The response has been so fast for this adorable #YCH! Now at 6 spots left. If anything seems unclear, please feel free to ask me! In my mind, there is no such thing as a stupid question - just stupid answers. 😜
Only $10 for an emote? WEH! Offering WEH .PNG emotes for use on phones, Discord, and other apps that support porting in custom images. Starting off with 10 spots. You can fill out a form here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

😱HANDLE UPDATE!!😱 I identify far more with Serina than with Reba as my artist identity, so my handle has changed from reba-ceres to serina-ceres. Still me, making art and snarky comments. I'm still in the process of getting all my socials to line up with this, so please be patient. 💜
Another fun time taking a #sketch from my #sketchbook, scanning it in, and #digitalcolor -ing it. It really is helping me understand lighting and light color better! Also, open to recommendations to do better alt-text to help poor vision visitors. #mixedmedia #fineliner #CSP #stylized
With how hot and himid- so humid! - it is in TN right now, this feels accurat. *Sticks to her vit.D capsles and art serotonin*
Back in 2014 and 2015, I drew this set of pictures. Kingdom Hearts was one of those media that gave me the push to be creative in new ways, and it was Hayden Panettiere's performance that made me fall in love with the characters of Xion and Kairi. May she find only peace beyond this life.
Finished the colored version of "Fairy Woods" from my #sketchbook! Felt good going back to my old way of doing art - drawing traditionally, then scanning in to color. While the design at this point wasn't final, this was my first imagining of how @alenabaille.bsky.social's OC would look.
The last two days of my day job have been hard. My hands are now too tired to even tab, much less anything else. And of course, in the quiet forced upon me, I have had two REALLY good story/comic ideas. Sadly, this is the last of my typing today after I stopped counting at sending 50 emails...
Why can't we just... have noce things? One of the career paths I originally considered (before being convinced by everyone around me that I was too stupid to do it and listening to them like an idiot) was being a translator for comics. Fuck AI.
Webtoons going all in on AI.
Tried this with the two near complete stories I have in Docs. No results. I think this user shared with others, which Google has said all shared documents are scanned 'for security.' I feel icky having messed with the AI even a little. Wonder how many are now testing to see if their docs are safe?
GOOGLE DOCS USES AI THAT TRAINS ON ANYTHING YOU WRITE IN IT, EVEN IF ITS A “PRIVATE” DOCUMENT. It’s now possible for users to get Google Docs’ AI to share information that is otherwise not publicly accessible, if it was written in Google Docs at some point. You CANNOT trust it w/ confidential info
Spent 15 minutes working on my site. Accidentally backed out without saving. *Turns on FFXIV to not think about it. I'll try again, but right now I want to throw my computer*
In the great before times, I didn't have the hand-eye coordination to draw using a drawing pad, so I would draw traditionally, then color digitally. This is how far I got using a piece I did in my current sketchbook for today's session.
I've been trying to restore my quick access macros in FFXIV and feel like I've just wasted an hour of my time. Going to play Warframe for a while and murder some Greneer to make me feel better.

The irony is I play both Warframe and FFXIV.

Finished some #charactersheets for a repeat client (my super supportive spouse, @alenabaille.bsky.social)! It was a goods exchange - character sheets for perpetual license for CSP 5.0. Learned a lot, and very fun to experiment with!
A little #workinprogress from my sketchbook. #Fineliners are so fun! I'm still at the 'having fun' stage of using them, but fully plan to dive into actual techniques in the future!
Made a bit of a soul-baring blog post on Cara. It feels only fitting to share it here: cara.app/post/c0deafa...

You know the sort of friendship where you drop the rope and never hear from them again? Yeah, I hate that. I really cared about the person behind this character, but her life is too full to include me, and I have to be okay with that. #FFXIV #fanart #digitalart #characterart
I don't get it. If "someone" follows over 5,000 accounts what is to say that "someone" isn't an AI bot? Combined with nothing personal, commentative, or just tongue and cheek and it being all business? Yeah, I would rather block than have my creativity slurped up by a clanker.
A little something for #throwbackthrusday - also known as an old drawing I did for a competition. What do you guys think? Is this 2018 drawing worth a redraw? Also, marked her for nudity since nothing is showing, but it's clear there are no clothes on.
PSA: IF YOU MAKE AI ART, DON'T FOLLOW ME. Generative AI for writing and art, not only are you damaging our society and our overall attention levels, you are also participating in something VERY harmful to the environment!
A little #graphic I created that will be used as a watermark going forward for my posted pieces. I put a lot of personal symbolism into this piece, that you can find in the alt-text description.
