Going forward I'm not going to post my work on X/Twitter. Although the AI edit stuff is offensive I only tolerated the site in the first place because of numbers, and now I'm pretty much guaranteed to do better on bsky even with half the followers.

Can anyone recommend some resources for a general overview of pre-20th century Western fashion? My reference points end up being almost exclusively from pop-culture or some other modern amalgamation, and it's really messy to work with.

The most annoying thing about genAI is that eventually the genAI proponents are going to get to the end of the novelty of it, realize its limitations, and then claim to be the innovators of doing things the long way without genAI. Call it "slow productivity" or something.

At a previous design job the founder suggested that I should look into ways to increase my productivity through AI tools. I thought about tasks I hated doing — where quality and accuracy were non-factors — and realized I hated almost every part of that job.
I quit soon afterwards.

Most of us did not choose to write or draw or design so that we could put products on the shelf. We chose to do it because it’s a set of skills we enjoy exercising, that give us fulfillment.
It’s like asking a pro pitcher to just let a machine pitch for them. Fuck off and give me the ball.

Did the normal 7.4 content today and didn't feel the itch, I think I might be retired from raiding for real this time.
Not really an indictment on the content, in hindsight my interest in raiding waned as soon as I started doing art again ~2 years ago.

For my last two paintings I've been doing a final pass with a soft airbrush to reduce contrast and soften some of the details. When placed side by side the harsher version feels more appealing, but I think the softer version is a better painting overall.

If anyone is still on twitter I'd really appreciate a boost on my SF6 art contest submission. I just had to repost the art because twitter downscaled it so now it's probably going to drown even harder, so any assistance on reach would be appreciated!

This is the first time I'm working off of an accurate in-game model as a reference (ff14 models aren't that detailed) and I'm not sure how I feel about it. I like the result but it does feel a bit uncanny, like maybe I filed off too many of the rough edges of my style

What's especially irksome about this iOS UI update is that I can so clearly visualize the approval process. A bunch of execs nodding approvingly at a giant mockup in a conference room while the end user experience feels like swiping at a loose tray of contact lenses.

I'm leaning towards #4 because it's the most legible pose and I like the lines, but it doesn't really express her ballerina theme. #1 demonstrates the theme most clearly but the composition might not work for the format. Thoughts?

Saw some comments saying that I whitewashed a character in my last painting, and although my initial thoughts were rather unkind I have to admit I might've nudged the final curves adjustment layer a bit too far on the whole painting.

I've seen a pretty noticeable collapse in my twitter numbers, and even though it's just a vanity metric the shift is making me second guess the appeal of my recent work. There's always rumblings about algo shifts but I don't think that's the whole story.
