I also kept thinking about how tears on a giant would probably stream a lot more than on a human sized face bc of the surface tension of water and he’d just look like a mess…

Jayce has his glamour break while in a public restaurant bathroom while out with Lucy’s parents and has a bit of a break down when he doesn’t expect to. He’s had a lot going on for him at this point and it was the breaking point for him and Lucy helps take charge of things to fix the situation.

I've made it a personal goal to stop using the term "content" when referring to media made by artists. The word implies mass-produced filler and calling someone's hard work their "content" has started to feel kinda like an insult. Like human art made strictly for quick consumption

the enthusiasm for generative AI would not have been possible without prior decades of capitalist conditioning to view works of art as products, rather than acts of culture and shared human life

I think the fundamental gap here is that non-creative people think that creative people make things for the end product, when in fact it’s the act of creation and not the end point that makes it worthwhile.

Blue lined drawing. A large man with short curly hair & sideburns wearing a fringe jacket has a smaller man with a beard & scarf resting against his chest. The larger man has his eyes closed and his hands folded over the smaller man, who is reaching up to touch his cheek.

Purple lined drawing. A man with short, ruffled hair and stubble is held in a hand. He glances up at the holder with a worried, flustered expression.

PSA to anyone ever looking to hire an illustrator, artist, designer, craftsperson, etc:
Do not send them gen ai images.
*Especially* do not send them ai images to use as a basis to work off of/ improve/ fix for you. Just send a description of what you are looking for and a sketch (100000% better!)

PERPETUAL CONTENT LICENSE: They get a worldwide, royalty-free license to use, copy, modify, and distribute your content "for any purpose" in "any media now known or later developed." Forever. They can sell it. Give it to governments. Anything.

FORCED JURISDICTION: All disputes must be filed in Tarrant County, Texas. You waive the right to join class actions. If they wrong millions of users, you sue alone in THEIR court.

Going from doing traditional art a million years ago and taking a 14-year hiatus. . . to deciding to learn digital art in 2018 has been a wild ride.

Here's to more progress in 2026.

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

Rude
Rude or impolite, including crude language and disrespectful comments, without constructive purpose.
Highlighted Off, darkened Warn, and darkened Hide buttons.

FYI this is really happening and not just spooked horses in the barn. I got one of these DMs today. Report to BS and block. Don't click the link

🌸Izagar🌸 🌙✨ - Dragon Vtuber Artist @izagar.bsky.social · Nov 8

Head's up there is a Bluesky ban scam going around. This account just joined 40 mins ago and send me this DM.

DO NOT CLICK THE LINK.

Bluesky would NEVER send a DM like this and make you scared. This would come through email and would have a more professional email than this.

Stay safe!

A fake Bluesky suspension DM.
