And who knows maybe Canva as a big company can benefit the Affinity development (more frequent updates & new features) & bring it closer to being a true Adobe competitor.

Ngl didn't like hearing the news about Affinity being bought by Canva, but happy to see A/I poop is separated (not force fed to you unlike some other apps) & that you can be sure they're not accessing your files for that.

I've loved using Affinity for photo editing and I'm excited to try it out for other things too. Also love that they combined all the apps in one, going to be so handy switching between vector and pixel ^^

Here's the website:

Yes, I love Cara for that 🥰 I just started rebuilding my page there a week or so ago. It's a shame it's more like a dA type artist hub (instead of the social medias other ppl use), but it's a nice place for that ^^

At least we have Bsky & Mastodon, that are better atm. Thank you for being here 🥰

I know the bad ppl are lurking here as well, but at least don't need to be blocking those accounts on a daily basis. And it's easier to control what you see in your feed 🤌

The amount of A/I accounts trying to follow me on IG daily is making me sad 🥲

I wish I wouldn't need to use that platform, but can't drop it yet bc need the exposure & many irl friends/family are there.

I hope one day we have better place(s) to hang, that also draw the general population.

Love this! Kitty looks so relaxed 🥰 Wishing you a lovely weekend too ☺️

Don't worry guys, he's just carving pumpkins! ^-^

Here's the digital sketch. When doing traditional art I often like starting with pencil sketch, then doing refined digital sketch, before making the final traditional art. Maybe too long process hehe, but that's how I've liked doing it for years ^^

Well there is Cara, but is that actually going to be something that's going to grow/exist in the future? I deleted my Cara as it was so laggy & there wasn't that many people in there. But now I'm thinking if I should redo it again 🤔 At least the desktop version doesn't seem too laggy?
