My name is River and I’m an artist who delights in drawing nostalgic scenes that remind you of the good ‘ol days🖍️

Getting back into the art groove so I drew another icon. I’m beginning to love this OC, so I’m considering them a ‘sona. I like to think they’re aspirational—me when I’m at my best.
Truthfully, chronic pain & seasonal depression’s been getting to me, but I’m trying🌱

A digitally illustrated icon of a blue-toned Fallow Deer. Enormous trees line the background and are covered in moss and foliage. The foreground contains a vernal pool of water along with grassy patches of land.

My sketchbook philosophy is draw small draw fast draw again. Let your mistakes work for you rather than against you! The more you build up speed the less you get paralyzed on risky creative decisions and the faster you get over failed attempts. If it didn’t work, make a new one and try differently

As we enter the New Year remember fear of making bad art is holding you back. Fear of people not liking your work is holding you back. Rejection is holding you back

You'll make bad art, you'll have people not like your work, and you'll be rejected. Moving past it is half the job of being a creative

Apparently Paypal is now asking those who commissioned artists through invoices for feedback on the experience, Please never type anything, Its a trap. Just putting both yours and their accounts at risk of bans.

I got word that an original painting that @spottacus.org commissioned me to create is now on auction via Goodwill. Auction ends in just a little over 1 day and is currently at just $30 so if you want an original painting of mine for an absolute steal, here's the link shopgoodwill.com/item/251172556
A watercolor and colored pencil painting of a sabertooth cat anthro with two young cubs, surrounded by african animal families. Piece shows the sabertooth anthros inside a cave covered by cave paintings showing an adult's drawings but also the drawings and paint splatters of the children at kid height.

I don’t think I ever shared this WIP of a Borzoi-unicorn I drew a couple of months ago. My intent was to make this my first-ever print, but I began doubting myself… if you’d like to see this completed, do tell!
The theme is trying to capture a bit of magic in the mundane
A rough digital sketch of a Borzoi. A detached unicorn horn hovers above their forehead. They’re wearing an ornate collar with a detached chain. The background contains leaves and vines with a touch of sparkle.

For those who have just left twitter/X and are afraid for their financial security as they try to rebuild, I want to share my experience as it will hopefully provide a bit of comfort.

Earlier this year I ran a Kickstarter. Bsky outperformed Twitter for backers by more than 3x.

Happy jerboas 🐭
Jerboas are hopping desert rodents. Eight species of jerboas are happily frolicking on a purple background - night desert. Their paws are covered in fur, helping them stay steady in the sand.Sand flies like stardust beneath the feet of a jumping jerboa. Cute and sparkly atmosphere.

Was talking to a kid and she’d never heard of cooties. What a lucky generation. All those cooties shots worked.

Please enjoy this photo of the Horace and Jasper bodypillows my aunt crafted for me when I was 5 years old and brain-meltingly obsessed with 101 Dalmatians.
Handmade pillows of the two henchmen from the 101 Dalmatians movie, crafted by an older family member to satisfy a deranged child who had memorized the entire 101 Dalmatians kid's book before she could even read. (I wanted plush toys of the villains to menace my cute plush toy puppies and those just didn't exist, for some mysterious reason...)

🦋 Welcome to Buesky! 🦋
It's long past time to leave the Nazi bar, and you'll have a much better time here. I updated this guide due to the influx of users fleeing Grok's new AI bullshit. Share widely for all the newcomers!
Tips: moving from Xitter to Bsky Before you start following people, fill out your profile! Bio, PFP, banner, and post at least 5 to 10 things. Just reuse your top 10 banger tweets—recycling is encouraged! This way, people will know you aren’t a bot, will see what you are about, and might follow back. Turn off NSFW filters in Settings > Moderation > Enable Adult Contentand at the bottom on Settings > Moderation > Bluesky Mod Service Find your friends from the hellsite using Sky-Follower-Bridge.devNot perfect, but it will find the majority of the people you were following.Beware of fake tools that ask for money! Follow a few feeds related to your interests. In bsky you choose what kind of content you want to see. You can pin feeds (into tabs) to the top of your timeline, and you always have access to the Following feed which shows nothing but who you choose to follow. Block often. Don’t interact with trolls. Don’t quote dunk, comment, nothing. Let them rot in silence, take away their oxygen and they’ll asphixiate. This is the Bsky way. Turn off language filters in Settings > Languages > Content Languages Or you won’t see posts from anyone in Japan, Germany, etc, in your feeds, even if they only post a cool image with no text. Weird, but trust me on this one. Uncheck all to see all posts. Fuck content scrapers. Do not let that trash overwhelm this site, do not share their stolen content. You can block them all with two clicks by going to joabaldwin.com/scrapers and on the top-right clicking on Subscribe > Block Accounts (I know, “Subscribe” is an odd thing to name it, but that’s how block lists work). Use alt text to make images accessible. Helps for translations, readability, findability, and users with slow internet. Turn on Settings > Accessibility > Require alt text before posting It takes time to rebuild, but the best time to do it is right now. Use your last tweets to tell everyone to move, then stop posting. Twitter is a Nazi/AI/bot/crypto cesspit.

Found this on the AO3 subreddit, and I'm about to let it change my whole life (or at least work really hard to internalize it wrt my writing).
Someone's screenshot of a two-post twitter thread, from user blue (@bluewmist): the fastest way to kill motivation is to make your identity depend on the outcome. it's called ego involvement. when failing becomes failing as a person, your brain starts avoiding the whole thing. not because you don't care, but because you care too much. you don't need lower standards. you need less self-worth tangled up in your goals. the work gets easier when it's not about proving who you are.

Happy Holidays, everyone! 🎄
I didn't have time to paint a new winter themed art, so here is the one from last year.
A peaceful winter scene in a small village. In the sky a deer that looks like night divides the illustration in two parts - one is sunset, and the other behind the deer is night. A thin crescent moon is located between deer's antlers.

Fellow creatives.

Please.

Going into the new year.

Give yourselves some credit and remove the "aspiring" part of your bio. "Aspiring" voice actor. "Aspiring" writer.

If you're working on being the thing? You ARE the thing.

You may be aspiring toward a certain goal? But you ARE the thing. <3
