DO NOT train AI on my art

Forever struggling to complete drawings
Happy New Year y'all!

Update: I emailed the opt-out address listed on their website and got a reply. But, I never. Should. Have. Had. To. Opt. Out. I’m so tired of these tech companies & their entitlement. DoorDash putting small restaurants on their apps w/o permission, AI scraping our sites, & now this? It’s exhausting

Slowly chipping away at a digital drawing of my wife's #dnd character, Emmi.

Does "show more like this" or "show less like this" work on the "For you" feed?

I'm pretty sure Clannad will always be my favorite.

Welcome back artists!🖌🎨✨️
Quote Post with an old piece that you still like!

I did this one last year, but it still feels old. I really need to learn how to get better at digital art. Pretty much all I uploaded this year was pencil sketches.

Well, I want planning on baking dinner rolls at midnight Christmas morning, yet here we are, lol.

Did a quick sketch of my #D&D character Lily when she uses her Fey Glamour to make herself look like an elf instead of a fairy. Hair is inspired by Ashido Mina from MHA. Clothes were referenced from Pinterest.

It hasn't changed much, but I think I'm calling this done. I feel like it needs a background, but I just can't think of anything.

Working on a sketch of the Aasimar Paladin/Rogue in our current #dnd party. Her name is Ase, and she is still somewhat mysterious as she hasn't really shared much of her backstory. One thing that her player was emphatic about was that she's got really big breasts. I tried to keep it reasonable.

3rd day at my new job after 8 months of unemployment, and I'm so stressed I want to quit. Everyone else feels way more capable. Also I have no idea what I'm supposed to be doing, but when I ask, I just get vague answers. Too much anxiety.

Progress is slow, but it's still progress

I feel bad that I don't have it in me to even attempt Inktober this year. Maybe next year I'll be in a better place.

I decided it might be fun to try sketching some of the speakers during General Conference. I realize these aren't particularly good, but I thought I'd share anyway.

I've made a little progress. Unfortunately, I've come to the realization that I absolutely suck at drawing furries. Tabaxi are technically furries. :(

My current #DnD party. I'm trying to be okay with just making it exist first. I really hope I'll have a finished version for y'all later. ADHD and ASD kind of actively fight against me ever completing my drawings.

Just got home from outpatient back surgery. It sucks.

I drew my #dnd character, Lily. She is a Fairy that was exiled from the Feywild to the Shadowfell. She's not sure how she escaped, only that her time there corrupted her natural magical abilities. Hence, she is a Shadow Magic Sorcerer. Referenced Ryoko Kui for the body, and BnHA for the hair.

I've been in a really bad slump lately, but I'm trying to force myself to just sketch and work less about it being "perfect". I really like #dungeonmeshi, so I've been referencing Ryoko Kui's work a little bit in Daydream Hour.

It feels like I've lost my ability to draw. You know how pitchers in baseball can get to where they can't throw a strike no matter what? It's like that. I sit down to draw, and everything I try just looks BAD.

Just got done watching #kpopdemonhunters with my wife, and we both LOVED it!

A quick sketch of the Tabaxi Druid in our #dnd campaign. I'm not very good at anthro characters, so I'm taking inspiration from @tateoftot.bsky.social 's style.

I decided to doodle a little concept of a fantasy village for a change of pace.

So I've been out of work since the end of March. I'm offering commissions. I'm not really sure what they'd be worth, but I'll offer (BW)bust sketches for $25, half body $50, full body $75. (Color) Bust for $50, half body for $75, and full body $100.

-I won't draw NSFW or Furries

Drew and colored mine and my sister-in-law's #dnd characters. I had fun with this one, and even though I know there are issues, I'm still happy with it.
