Deler her også. Deltok i en #dtiys med @dadaph.no sin Perle, fra Lunas Tåre. Glemte bare at fristen gikk ut for noen dager siden. Skitt au, moro å tegne.

Joined a course in designing and painting dragons yesterday. Renate guided us, and after three hours of organized chaos, this was my result. Based the dragon on flamingoes of all things.

Made a sketch of @grusart.bsky.social character Ella. I'm not good at drawing anthro, but every line is a good learning moment.

Using AI to produce writing or art is like asking someone at the gym to lift weights for you.

Drew this cyber-ninja from Time Crisis that @doandos.bsky.social streamed at Twitch.
From a PS1 game, so a lot of imagination and interpreting had to be applied.
