Some other great ones are talking about Shapiro knockers and just like... Honestly more of the same. So much more of it. Looks like the inciting incident involved a fake account linked with a extremist publisher and followed mostly by groypers, but it's become a free for all now

If nobody's shared it over here yet that you've seen, Grok's new update has it saying facts over feelings that (insert anti-Semitic or Chinese statement) and now it's been tricked by groypers into calling itself MechaHitler

Fascinating things are going on in shitcoi*s land

I love the difference the film and the lighting can make of a place

20 minute value head studies: my favorite warm up returns. I lost a lot of value grouping but just trying to get back to being able to sketch from ref quickly enough to get back there. Being able to easily eyeball and replicate shapes is the skill that degrades fastest when Im not using it regularly

Wow, congrats on 6k! And thanks for hosting

Here's some of the pieces from my original setting/story I'm working on

Next in a set of character portraits for Valecny: Ayna, of the Holy Emperor's Honor Guard

I'm recovering from wisdom teeth removal (apparently you're supposed to get it done young for a reason, things have not gone so great and I did end up in the ER at one point), but I did get these photos back from the Botanical Gardens, so the week isn't all bad

Congratulations on the 3k, and thanks so much for hosting!

I'm Kai, a fantasy illustration painter from Texas, and I'm looking to tell stories about my personal settings and characters

Hi Evyn, what a kind thing to offer!

Im moving away from looking for work and trying to focus right now on a personal project thats dear to me, but Im struggling a lot with what to focus on learning/improving without clients in mind. Do you have any suggestions what seems weak/could be stronger?

I need to really get better at black and white, it feels like it really forces a better composition than color can get away with

Just got back the roll of Kentmere Pan 100 I shot in the Olympus Trip 35 back in early September. I'd misplaced it 🤡

Im not looking for work at this time, so I have a complicated relationship with #portfolioday recently, but Id love to invite more eyes to the world Im building in the personal project Im working on!

Im Kai, a fantasy illustrator from Texas, and I hope to have more to share soon

Delighted to finally have this done and be able to share! I havent finished anything for Valecny in a couple years so I picked an older one (2020) to repaint as an easy starting point. The setting has transformed so much visually since then that I feel like Im finally able to realize its potential

It's heavier than I'm used to, and too chunky for my tripod but this was one of my favorite rolls yet for the incredible range of different photos that turned out considering it was a roll of odds and ends shot here and there over almost two months

I love the range of lights and colors you can get out of one roll - Fujifilm 200ISO, Nikon N/F60, 55-200mm zoom lens

Oh whoops I thought this site could post more than 4 pictures in one post for some reason

I took a few photos of El Mercado on my Smena Symbol (on Kodak Gold 200) along with the ones I posted from the other camera. I love how perfect the Olympus photos always are, so the Smena lets me play with what a less ideal and more moody setting might be instead
