Hello. I'm Hugs! The horrors persist and so do I. I am a trans and disabled artist and animator who loves drawing toys, mutants, horror and LGBTQA+ characters. Thanks for dropping by!

Easing myself back into drawing slowly, finally tackled adjustments to Snowball’s design. Really thought about what I wanted to achieve with the colours and gave her trousers to give more mobility while staying as close as possible to her original shapes/feel.

This might be the most realistic portrayal of being an artist working for indecisive directors/leads I've ever seen on tv. Everyone needs to be watching The Chair Company.

It really needs to be pointed out how every one of these embarrassing statements is made by a c-suite executive and not an artist or even art department lead
"Surely there's a middle ground here?" The CEO of Helldivers 2 studio Arrowhead says people "jump to extreme takes" when debating generative AI, and that there needs to be more nuance in the discussion.

do not give labour a single vote under any circumstances
The Sun has been told Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood will on Monday propose confiscating jewellery, watches, necklaces from asylum seekers to meet asylum costs

This reflects the most controversial aspect of the Danish scheme - the Jewellery Law. The toughest Labour MPs thought this was OTT

If they really wanted to appeal to women they should have made a drink called Monster Fucker.

"Its not a big deal"
"You can just ignore it"

Why are you paying your hard-earned money to a service you watch that gives you stuff that **no one made** that is not a big deal and youll just wind up ignoring? 🤔

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back

HOLY SHIT. They found the genes for fibromyalgia - and it's *not* autoimmune, it's the central nervous system. It's very cool to see some progress made on the thing that's ruined my life since late teenage years!
Medical Republic: 'Fibromyalgia finally gets a genetic fingerprint'

'Additionally, certain risk loci overlapped with long covid (BPTF) and ME/CFS (OLFM4, RABGAP1L/GPR52), two poorly characterised disorders, albeit with different lead variants.'

I’d also like to add: Share artists’ work.

It’s not unusual for me to see people sharing AI images to dunk on them.

For every AI image you share, even for the sake of outrage, you could have been sharing real art from a real artist.
i feel so bad for artists who now have to deal with accusations that their work is ai

Its so demeaning to the life of work they put into their art, and it must suck to have to argue that your work is in fact your own.

If you can draw, that's really cool, I think you are great.

Never in my long life as a Sonic Kid did I think the Sonic game and comic worlds would collide. Bless the lesbians for making it possible.

Bit the bullet and ordered the replacement tablet (the huion I had my eye on). At least if something ain't right I can return it. But agh I am nervous. At least a 16 inch won't be as hard to use as the 21. Just better for my condition.
