I do genuinely feel that the human race is my family. I think about that Carl Sagan "mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam" line a lot. We're like germs you guys. We're living dust. Have fun about it. Have a cry about it. Make love about it. Make art about it. Just don't be an asshole about it.
One of the most important skills you can learn as a young artist is how to disregard critiques from people whose opinions about how you draw don’t really help you.
Dominique Ramsey 𓃥@dominiqueramseyart.bsky.social · 2d agoWhen I say that you have to be leery of who critiques your art, your life will depend on it. The wrong person giving you critique will have you fighting with your own creativity, leaving you mentally unwell. Especially if you don't have enough people around you encouraging your art
Caught me off guard and busy AGAIN this year. But it's #voreday this Saturday! For all who celebrate 😋
Something that might read as mean initially but it's how my views have changed over time. When I was growing up, I remember a lot of low-key disability shaming. Walk a certain way, fix your voice, never complain. When not meeting expectations: "there are no reasons, only excuses."
AI use is progressive. I don't even like calling it a crutch, because crutches protect you from worsening injury while you heal, or help you retain mobility in the face of permenant disability. Using Gen AI for creative endeavours is like voluntarily taking a poison that withers your soul.
Is it sad that I've been stuck not wanting to be real and vulnerable to folks? New friends? Even old friends now? I hope I was alright towards you, and if I wasn't, I apologize. Mostly. We're humans, we have flaws, nothing is perfect forever. It's ok. I don't hate you, save for a few.
I wanna apologize to the two folks who did give me artfight attacks this year. They will be FIRST UP for revenges next year. Plus the really REALLY big thing I want to do.
I whole ass didn't draw anything in July. But here's something from June. I streamed some songscribbles I think. It's Idol!Penny
I'm gonna say it; If you still defend the Harry Potter IP at this point, you are *garbage*. The information has been out there for years, there's NO REASON for you to still be feeding into the machine that is trying to erase your trans siblings.

It’s doing numbers, folks. On instagram in particular. Similar to the original “this is fine” comic, I wasn’t really expecting this to pop off. So it goes!

I'm bummed that I haven't done any artfight this year. I HAD PLANS and then life Did Things.
Oh shit. Four more followers and then I actually have to figure out how to do a dang raffle/art giveaway. Time to think more on how that'll work, as well as what I can offer.
It's that special time of the year: SDCC time! Which I'm NOT AT this year because my ARM IS BROKEN. So I've put all my stuff that I was GOING to sell at San Diego up on my website! Like my T-SHIRTS and my TOTE BAGS! And also everything else. korybing.storenvy.com
hhhh really don't like the deployment of the word "ethical" here. Reading dark and fucked up fiction with bad and evil things in it isn't "unethical," nor are books which contain no such dark themes more "ethical" in nature. This is Hays Code rhetoric, it's the kinda shit Moms For Liberty would post

Don’t confuse attention with affection or you’ll die in a spotlight applauded by a crowd never willing to hold you
Oh my fucking god wait the fucking mug is
There is a specific genre of anime called "I'm enjoying this now, but if I'd seen it at 15, I would've made it my entire personality"

Hypervisible @hypervisible.blacksky.app · last mo.“As part of this update, public Instagram profiles are now automatically opted into being fodder for generative AI remixes. All someone has to do is tag your account’s profile in a prompt—if it’s public—and they can use Meta AI to generate an image using your likeness.”
Please enjoy this bishounen Takashi Miike I made to illustrate how understanding what symbols we use in art represent in real life allows you to figure out how to apply those symbols in new contexts and use references more effectively 🖊️🦑
Would it be rude to ask for donations to get a new Washer? Something burnt out in it. Had from 2004 ish. Can't spin or drain, and can't fix it anymore. I'll miss it dearly, was a real workhorse... New stuff won't last half as long. T_T if you wanna donate, that's cool. ko-fi.com/overloaf/goa...
