Your last meme saved is your moral philosophy.
A picture of Princess Guinevere from the animated pilot Knights of Guinevere. She is looking off the side with a displeased pout and her hands on her hips. The caption says "Princess Guinevere had never seen such bullshit before."

I love learning about other artists' DNA! Here's my big four:

1. Detective Conan by Gosho Aoyama (especially his early stuff)
2. Tintin by Hergé
3. The Patlabor anime
4. The Nausicaä manga by Miyazaki

I want to know everyone else's! It's so fun to see what inspired/influences others!!

i drew this 15 years ago when i was in art school. the day someone brought juice is still the most exciting thing that's ever happened in a live model session.
A comic of a woman cooking while talking on the phone. Panel 1 Narration box: The other day, I had to vent: Woman: I get so tired of people freakin out about the fact that i draw nude people regularly now... Panel 2 Woman: I think they assume that because there's a naked person in the room, we all have this irresistible urge to throw a wild, heinous orgy... (Behind her, a model poses coyly and says "teehee i'm naked!" while students rush the platform yelling "woohoo!") Panel 3: Woman: Y'know the most exciting thing that's happened in a live model session? Someone brought juice. Strawberry-kiwi, baby. Yeah.

Last up an #ArtFight2025 attack for NovaDoesArtFight of their persona, Nova! I absolutely love this design.
Nova by NovaDoesArtFight. Nova is a celestial star being - their face and hands are a star-studded void. They have one eye with a star as the pupil. They have wings made of starry nebula. They're wearing a light green shirt and a blue/green jacket. They're carefully holding a bright star in between their hands.

#ArtFight2025!! I really loved every attack I received, and had a ton of fun on my revenge attacks. First up was this one for @dakotaspacecat.bsky.social featuring their character Maxwell (he's got a KNIFE!)
Maxwell by SpaceCat - a young man with reddish brown hair and a light complexion wearing a black coat. He holds a blue knife and wears a big blue diamond around his neck. He's laughing. Sam by GhostFriendMel - a young man with black hair and dark complexion. He holds a large wrench and looks like he's about to charge. Both characters are facing down an unseen threat.

In short: A studio is re-releasing a popular film and using AI to change the tragic but deeply thoughtful ending to one that is comfortable, soulless and empty, against the wishes of the creator.

I'm so tired already.
Hayao Miyazaki smoking a cigarette. His hands are on top of his head, he's pulled his glasses off of his face and he looks frustrated and exhausted.

Hey artists, quote with your woman art 🌺
A heavyset woman in her forties. She has brown hair with grey streaks, and a heavily scarred eye. She's wearing a blue tank top, Hawaiian shirt, denim shorts and a straw hat. She has an irritated expression and is flipping off an unseen person with one hand, while holding a white claw alcoholic beverage with the other.

Is Radar going to get a tiny spoon of the whipped cream? I'm so glad you asked. He's a very good boy who always does his very best, so of course he is.

Caption: Walking into the office building behind all the professionally dressed people: Picture of me wearing a backpack covered in buttons/pins, carrying a lunchbox, a bag with keys and silly keychains, wearing jeans, a shirt with rolled up sleeves and whimsical sneakers, etc. I'm trailing behind a man and woman dressed in suits/business dress carrying briefcases and purses. Me (thinking): They don't know I'm actually nine years old Caption: I am learning how to eat mindfully. You have to ask yourself why you're eating things. Me writing in my food journal: "I am eating these carrots because all of your bad life choices come back to haunt your body like a Dickensian protagonist after you turn 30, apparently." There is a arrow pointing to the sketch of the food journal that says "food journal," another one pointing to a plate with some scribbles on it that says "vegetables" and one pointing to my head that says "weird food texture aversions probably because I'm down with the 'tism." Caption: Everyone else left early so it became Singing Along Loudly to Hyperdrama by Justice time. Picture of me sitting at my desk singing at the top of my lungs: Me: I'LLLLLLLL REMEMBEEEEEEEEER - THE HARDEST OF THE TIMES I WON'T FORGEEEEEEET.....

Ohhh, another MASH cast member gone 😭 I admire Loretta Swift for taking a pretty one-dimensional, antagonistic character and making her funny, but even more so for gradually turning that character into a complex, relatable and very funny woman. Cheers to Major Margaret Houlihan 🍸

aw man, Drew Struzan is the best to have ever done it.

His movie posters are so inspiring to me. If there's a painted poster you really love from about the 70's to the early 00's, chances are he did it. Absolute legend.

I don't know what else to tell you. Please read it.
