Still 2 hours to go here, but just threw together a fast piece to wrap up 2025. Thanks for sticking around, even though I didn't have much to share this year. Thank you for all your kind comments too ❤️ I hope I can repay them with more art in 2026.
Hoping your 2026 is filled with joy & prosperity!

I like to think he wears one of those tight underarmour type shirts under the chest armour, so he sometimes walks around the tower/training areas etc without the chest piece

Took 3 years but got everything up to cap finally! WAR was my last one. Ironically, my crafters and gatherers were among the first I leveled and kept leveled because I was a shrewd sprout who refused to pay mkb extortion rates. Glad for that now!!

I'm so grateful to be off now for 2 weeks. Feels like I've been working nonstop for the last 4 months because of work + grad school. I'm proud of myself and grateful but wow, tiring.
I'm gonna set aside time to draw!! esp some self-indulgent Ceph.

I was drawing and tracing pokemon and Digimon out of colouring books to show the kids at school when I was 6-7. I was learning English as a second language and that was my method of making friends 🤣 For writing, I distinctly remember a teacher praising a story i wrote and that spurred me on as a kid
With all this awful news going on i wanna ask this question once again to fellow artists and general creatives. What got YOU into art? what sparked that motivation to start writing? what made you wanna pick up a camera and start taking pics? Like share with us your reasons.

everyone is losing the plot
THE PROCESS IS THE POINT!!!
YOU CANT OUTSOURCE THE WIP TO A MACHINE. A FINAL PRODUCT BUILT ON PLACEHOLDER SLOP IS JUST POLISHED SLOP.
this is so disrespectful to your workers I can't even. No we don't trust you to do the thinking part, just polish the machine's ideas🙄

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

my fellow terminally online friends, sometimes I worry about the way folks irl enthusiastically accept genAI or brush its usage off as inevitable ("it's like the calculator"). Today was my last session of my class this term and the topic of AI came up again (educational context) and I was like f it

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.
