breaking my break to say i'm working on something really fun that's not drawing-related and i can't wait to show everyone when it's finished :3
probably going to take a break from this site until i feel good about my art again

i just need to know that my art means anything at all to anyone and be recognized in a way more meaningful than social media dopamine addict bullshit numbers. if i’m pouring myself into something that doesn’t mean anything then genuinely what is the point anymore
i feel like i’m so much less accomplished than every other artist i know and only have social media likes going for me. how do you become accomplished when your job makes you too tired to make anything real, you’re too old and poor for art school, and your life is all wasted potential

Would you guys be interested if I put out a few batches of adoptables again?

I really need money but I’m embarrassed to keep asking for handouts.

They’d be in this kind of style since these ones I did sold the best of all I’ve made so far

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

question: when you make a pinned post do you actually worry about how your images will look when the site crops them or do you just post them normally? trying to find a good layout but it's agonizing since most of my art is vertically oriented but it's getting cropped to like 3:2 at best
wow i really gotta update my pinned post, it’s been almost a year 😵‍💫

“stop drawing these poses, they’re lazy” “using blending modes to make your art look good is lazy” fuck off i have a JOB

i made this as practice for drawing rooms in 3D, it turned out to be really fun!
a glimpse into the bleak little office begrudgingly shared by comrades karl-peter schmidt and lena volkova, aka “the dollhouse”. fritz gets to come in too sometimes

Everyone on the TV is just killing time talking about this Mamdani fellow while we all anxiously await information about that ski facility in the Adirondacks.
