Grayscale practice with some new brushes… I don’t know how people prefer it over colors still :’)

Back from the coffin just for a moment!⚰️

Was just gonna doodle Jester in (Hellsing) Alucard’s fit but OFC it accidentally became a full drawing…🫠
My battle with rendering/shading continues.

This is exhausting.

“The holidays are finally over!” I said.
“Now I have time to draw again! :)”…I said.

Little did I know that artblock would hit me with a damn sledgehammer. (*ಢ__ಢ)

A reminder: generative AI is antithetical to the human practice of art. No matter how "good" the result seems, it's a hollow and barren reproduction productsd without care, thought, motivation, or curiosity.

You know it's ass - THEY know it's ass. But we're stuck in their sunk cost "reality".

Art drawn by people who very rarely make art and think they are “bad at art” is 1000x cooler than AI art. It’s life-affirming. It’s often unexpected. I cannot overemphasize how much I love when people just go for it. You do not need the machine for this human endeavor.

Actually about to lose my mind. My program keeps randomly switching my brush to erase while im drawing??🫠
I wanna sketch, not cry, thank you.

Although I could not finish this before Halloween due to life and sickness getting in the way, this art for @themooncattv.bsky.social is finally complete! 🌙

What else can we do?

Take care of yourself, take care of each other. We’ll get through this together. Even if it seems impossibly hard right now 💜

Always 💖

And if you don’t know, now you know! 🚫GenAI on Bluesky 🦋☁️

Nothing like a calm forest walk, some dwarf metal music, and plotting new ways to kill the players in my D&D campaign!☀️

I came across an outdated guide on image grid sizing crop/proportions for bsky earlier, and I felt it was important to create an updated version! Please use this new guide instead!

So that FNAF 2 movie teaser huh,,

Bluesky is officially “open” now (no more invites). So just a reminder to not engage with trolls and bad actors, there is no algorithm here to promote or spread them, replying to them is what puts them on everybody’s timelines. So block and give no oxygen.

Anytime I aim to simply doodle a silly little thing, I somehow manage to space out and overwork it. Which usually results in a fully colored & often shaded piece that has horrid anatomy.
Make it stop, I just want funky doodles man.⚰️🚶

Grew up despising twitter, always deleted it after trying to use it at any point ever. Guess my vibe checks were right in the end!

But this? Hm… I’ll give this a shot. 👁️👁️
