Things are getting a bit dire for me as my unemployment is running out and I still need to pay my tuition and see 0 sign of my employment situation changing. If anyone can share this around I'd really appreciate it.

A digital watercolor painting set in a forest at midday. There is a 6 toed paw print. In the bottom left corner it says "Dragonslayer didn't know what was in the woods but it was BIG!" A digital painting A fluffy white cat with pink dragon scales, horns, and large dragon wings flies in a dawn sky filled with clouds. Below her a brown tabby cat with feather wings flies below her. They are looking at each other and smiling A digital painting set at dawn. A purple sheep with a bell around her neck goes down the river in a leaf boat surrounded by trees. The trees are wrapped in glowing cyan blue vines. The vines sprout pink flowers.

I have decided to cut ties with Daylite. I considered the creator a good friend and never got any bad vibes from him so this is VERY upsetting. I was invited a few years back to do character, creature and prop designs for some projects, and I made alot of designs.

I never thought this would spread. I have made a Google doc with all of the evidence and my story. I do consider you read it to get context of what happened with him.

I realized I don't draw Selene nearly enough by herself, so here's some doodles of her casting some spells. Her magic looks like silver moonlight while Sunny's looks like gold sunlight

It's #blackhistorymonth . Are you supporting BLACK #indieanimation and black independent media as a whole ? There's so many black indie creators making our work because studio systems tell us there's no audience. Check out this thread for a plethora of BLACK INDIE projects .

Was messing around with a pokemon fusion generator and it had the prettiest gardevoir/rapidash fusion. Had to draw both Kanto and Galar versions. These are my interpretations, not a 100% copy of the sprite from the generator

Throwback to something worth repeating.
A screenshot of a tweet that says: Your art will betray you. It will look better in your head than on paper. It will make you feel untalented some days. Love it anyway. Because one day, it will also surprise you, fulfill you, and remind you why you started.

There is now a Prep medication that is an *every six month* injection.

It's just gonna be influencers, big retailers and bot farms trying to scam each other

I just got this notification from this trial Meta is conducting. For art to be seen, fees are required. No more likes because your work is interesting to ppl, it is all just paid access to huge audiences. And these are just starting fees, they go up after a month. 👎😬😭
$1 for your first month a prevents your profile from being impersonated and people are able to find you when they search $3.29 for your first month means ppl can find you in the search feature and you get a sticker $10 for your first month means you get to be in the search feature, can add links to reels and custom chats $33.49 for your first month means you are special so we promote you

Being an artist is either whipping out a masterpiece in a day or frantically looking up what a shoe looks like. There's no in between

I've used both and prefer a screen tablet. Going from traditional to digital, not being able to look down and see myself draw was difficult to get used to and I think the quality of my art suffered until I switched to a screen tablet

artists, out of curiousity: do you prefer a screen tablet, or a slablet?

Called and spoke with Adobe customer support and the guy told me Adobe is discontinuing Animate because apparently the company can't think of any new features to add to the program and they feel it's gotten stale.

So they're just GETTING RID OF IT???
