So I often do freelance work for Viacom doing concept poses for style guides or merch and the like. I got permission to share some what I did from 2021-2023

Thread below... starting with some Avatar/Korra (1)

It's not the quantity of followers, it's the *quality*.

Good engagement here comes from good posting - you post well, and people are gonna want to follow you and enjoy your good vibes. You don't have to game the system to succeed - just be a decent person and show your passion.
When I started taking bsky seriously, I had about 5K followers here compared to my then 30K on twt, and despite still having "less" here by comparison, I get consistently more commissions, interest, and continued support here than on twt, with far less punishment for marketing myself. (+)
For those who have just left twitter/X and are afraid for their financial security as they try to rebuild, I want to share my experience as it will hopefully provide a bit of comfort.

Earlier this year I ran a Kickstarter. Bsky outperformed Twitter for backers by more than 3x.

Had a long covid dip and went to the ER in case it was something worse yesterday and turned out the attending physicians were Castlevania fans so it was kind of fun on that front at least. Brain fog back with a vengeance though.

As someone that has worked on this, I’m pretty disappointed. This was MADE to be experienced in theaters. Also, my country doesn’t have Paramount+ so people here are just gonna end up pirating it instead of paying to see it in theaters like make it make sense 😭

I’ve curated a starter pack to make it easier to find artists working in animation on Bluesky! (If you qualify but aren’t on this list let me know, I will fill it up until it hits the 150 limit!)

I haven’t been posting as much this year but I have been drawing a lot for things I can’t talk about yet.

This year was heavy but I am grateful for so many things as well.

The thing thats so insidious about using AI this way is that one of the main ways artists get hired are studios looking for art references and they find us and reach out.

This is removing a major avenue to get work if they can just generate nameless derivations of our ideas.

Everyone around me irl keep dropping in the fact that they use AI in every day life and work and it makes me feel like I’m going crazy especially when I push back and ask if it’s worth the consequences and the response is always, in the end, no 🫠 And yet this is just the average person now!

I have to be locked in until mid January. I miss drawing gay things but also the auto-pilot of studio work is easier than pulling things from myself at the moment.

Hello! It's been a year and some change since I was laid-off from my previous job, and I'd love a new one.

My name is Steve and I have 7 years of experience in the animation industry as a background artist and illustrator. I've worked on shows like Castlevania, and card games like MtG!

I’ve seen a few folks go for the “if you simply must watch that new Harry Potter show just pirate it” and sorry. No. Just no. Just don’t watch it. At all. Ever. Break free of it. It’s time. You’ll be ok. I promise. I know it mattered to you as a kid. Find new things, it’s healthier. Just move on.

Been struggling lately with the ‘finished not perfect’ part of personal art. I can start things but not complete them 🙃

Northern PH, please take care…
Tropical Storm Fung-wong / #UwanPH is as broad as the islands of the Philippines 🇵🇭🌀

The system is strengthening and will likely become a typhoon soon. Landfall is forecast over Luzon late Sunday into Monday.

I am grateful to everyone that checked on us and wished us well/offers to help. It really means a lot considering our part of the world is often ignored and overlooked.

Our car is gonna be okay. It’s gross with flood mud inside but the engine is alright… most of my friends and family are safe but some have lost everything and are traumatized…
