Since migrating the account didn't go over so well, now's a great opportunity to remind everyone that I do have 2 portfolio sites and a Vgen in my carrd.

Whatever is missing here, will be in those places.

ALWAYS HAVE BACKUPS PEOPLE!

More progress on the transparent object! Bending the background around the glass is tricky, but it's coming along nicely!

#Art | #2DArt 🎨| #Sketch ✏| #WIP ⏳
An 18in x 24in gray toned sheet of paper with a sketch of a beaker, on a table in front of a brick wall. Inside the beaker is a paintbrush and pencil, crossed over each other. The inside of the glass beaker has ben filled in. The warped background through the glass has been started.

Putting work in on my transparent object still life. I was right, the table is so far the hardest part. My shoulders are tired! 😅

Found this on TikTok and it made me emotional ❤️

Artists create universes from nothing.

Being an animator is an intimate understanding of life, environments, physics, what it MEANS to be alive, and the ability to convey the beauty within our world in seconds.

- Paint Tool Sai (2018-2024)
- Clip Studio Paint (2024-now)

I stick to a software once I get a good workflow going. It takes me a while to learn new software

Thinking about CSP or Procreate in the future, but what I've got suits me fine so far.

Anyway I hadn't heard anyone talking about this, so I guess I'm gonna talk about it. Spread the word if you're thinking about doing an nsfw KS project, Stripe apparently might pull your funding at literally any step of the process, with zero warning!
the "myth of consensual sex" meme, remade. Entitled, "The myth of artistic freedom," It shows a man and a woman lying together, mostly naked, with speech bubbles that say "I want to draw it" and "I want to see it," and next to them are the Mastercard and Visa logos with a speech bubble that reads "I don't!" Bottom text says, "Isn't there some random payment processor you forgot to ask?"

More progress on my transparent object! Going from a dark paper to a light foreground is gonna be some work 😬😤

#Art | #2DArt 🎨 | #Sketch ✏| #WIP ⏳
An 18in x 24in gray toned sheet of paper with a sketch of a beaker. There's now a pencil and paintbrush crossed inside of the beaker. A brick wall background has been sketched in. All held in place on a drawing board. The artist has also left their supplies on the easel: A pencil sharpener, a ruler, two types of eraser, and both a white and a black charcoal pencil.

More sketch and wash with a lil fish! It's kind of trippy to go from drawing to painting on the same piece, but I think it turned out nice.

Mixing media with some sketch and wash. Draw with water soluble graphite, then activate with water and paint! It's an interesting medium!

You know what? I'm curious.

Been seeing this going around a bit, might as well.

Twitch finally admitted their anti-bot system is negatively impacting authentic view counts, alongside a bunch of other bizarre choices for what makes you count as a viewer. We were all right to complain.

These past few months my average viewership has dropped from 300+ to 150.
