An oldie (3ish years old), but I really want to get back into my big pastel portraits; got a dash of acrylics in there too.
Featured are definitely four of my faves music-wise!
Dio; Hella (Lordi); Dave Gahan (Depeche Mode); Chibi (The Birthday Massacre)

I've noticed an uptick in people who stand awkwardly behind you like a creep without uttering a thing because they want to get by.
Dudes, use your words. You know, BEFORE you get frustrated that people aren't psychic and don't realise you're there or needing by.
My God, it's not difficult.

He's not finished yet; I want to continue cleaning the lines up some more, add some shadows, & fix the arm, but he's in decent enough condition to be like, 'hey, look what I made/am making!'.

I did a digital doodle on GIMP of a roller derby vampire lady, based on the vamps from Lordi's music video 'Who's Your Daddy?', and a touch of Darla from 'Buffy':

She's still a little messy, but she's done enough for now.

1) You don’t need to “have your life together.” I’m 57 and I’m still making it up as I go along.
2) Short of dying or bringing another life into existence, there’s literally nothing that can’t be changed, fixed, or otherwise resolved. Take risks.

Imagine Dead End, you know, the animated Netflix show that was cancelled about three years ago before it was able to wrap up, got greenlit for a third season after all the re-hype and sudden natter.
That would not only be hilarious, but fab news 'cause I thought this show was great. Give it a watch

DEAD END sounds great and so does Hamish’s graphic novel!
Also if you like Hamish’s work today would be a really good day to tell him, he’s likely getting hateful emails from some of the worst people alive right now

My Huion Kamvas 13 seems to be on the fritz (black screen with back light, green switch, picking up stylus though), but my 16-year-old plug-and-play Wacom Bamboo is working as always, lmao.

The law can be broken with impunity as long as you have enough money. We all knew it, I think though there being so little money in creative endeavours we probably just assumed nobody would have enough money to want to break the law for the pittance creatives earn. Yet here we are.
Exclusive: OpenAI is planning to release a new version of its Sora video generator, which creates videos featuring copyrighted material unless copyright holders opt out of having their work appear.

Regardless of what course you do, you go to develop your critical thinking skills; you learn to think for yourself and to defend and back up your position.
