A kid is sleeping by a hay bale on a beautiful sunny day, two hovering kittens are playing around him, huge clouds in the background, among which a wreckage is hidden. The Long Exposure, a digital painting by Zhillustrator. A photographer is taking a photo of a mysterious sea cloud, waves and clouds are everywhere. A Tale with a Twist, a digital painting by Zhillustrator. Many pigs are hovering uncontrollably, a kitten is riding a tractor, mysterious sci-fi tower lies among the clouds in the background.

Just look at this gorgeous custom framed A3 premium matte #print of my "Stork Guardian"! A vibrant double frame with no glass to unleash the amazing German Etching matte paper texture, and to show off the gallery print quality you paid for.

You want to touch it.

I really recommend the brown tape that you apply water too so it sticks. I soak the paper, drop it on to the board get my tape and use a sponge to wet it and then stick it down. Only thing to remember is allow for the edges on the size of paper as obviously you have to cut the painting off.

I still haven't tried it. The damage is probably a deal breaker, when I think about it more. It was my first time seeing this so it was interesting. I never tried the gummed tape, I only used regular yellow "paper-tape".

Night on the Highway, a digital painting by Zhillustrator. A moonlit night scene on a bizarrely large highway with thousands of car lights going both directions. There's a hovering cat with a hat next to one of the cars. The Blue Hour, a digital painting by Zhillustrator. A blue and purple dream-like scene with an overgrown church sitting in a cloudy landscape. Wind turbines can be seen in the distance and there's a chimney pumping rain clouds out. A cat with a hat and a vest is lazily hovering around the scene.

It's not just subscription itself, it's the audacity. Imagine shutting down Adobe Animate, while having all that money that can support it indefinitely. That's like 30 years of work for some people, starting with Macromedia Flash before Adobe gobbled it. The point of subs should be keeping it going.

I mean, it's tricky when someone's job is tied to Adobe, in that case learning additional software for yourself might be useful, to transition slowly. That's probably the easiest. My transition was quite slow. it looks like the big wigs of the industry can't wait to replace all workers with ai.

The entire visual art community needs to move the fuck away from Adobe, even by force. Take your losses, certainly not all features are fully available in alternatives, it takes time to adapt, but move the fuck away from these leeches. So many of us have.

Thank you, I am always happiest when it's framed properly, especially these expensive matte prints with gorgeous paper.

"The Powerplant" is my most sold #print at cons and online. It's been an honor to send it off, in all sizes, to many new homes, for 10 years now. I hope you will want one, too, or just share, to help get me through tough times.

Available in A5-A0 at ko-fi.com/s/c2d60a42b9, DM for larger/altered.

"This place has always been under the silent protection of The Powerplant. Sometimes, through the buzz of life nourished by the gentle airs, one can even hear the whispering of these clouds you can almost touch."

I suppose as a hack, I use simple 3D mock ups to make sure my backgrounds are in perfect perspective. it does require that you learn a little 3d modeling mind you so it still needs work.
