I think the biggest damage to the art community was the obsolescence of gallery sites (y!, deviantart, etc) and the rise of scroll-by social media, like twitter and even tumblr. Art is not ''content'', you shouldnt need to post art every day (or every month!) to be relevant. This mindset sucks.

I think making up little guys is good for your mental health, everyone should make up characters and then spend time daydreaming about them

kill the imposter syndrome in you head because not only is there someone out there doing it worse than you, they're also using chat gpt to do it

Anyways.

Here’s a cover I illustrated for the upcoming D&D book, Ravenloft: The Horrors Within. It was such a joy to paint Strahd again 🦇

I want to be an artist, but I don't want to learn how.

I want to be a filmmaker, but I don't want to learn how.

I want to be a musician, but I don't want to learn how.

I want to be a writer, but I don't want to learn how.

AI, for those who can't, don't, and won't.

COMMS OPEN

I intend to keep them open for a while until my life situation stabilizes, so I'm going to accept a lot of inquiries! I had to quit my job because of the burnout and some difficult IRL issues that impacted my health, so this is my main source of income for now.

My character Charlotte, a vampire, is sitting on a couch wearing a red dress. She has black hair with hidden coloring and red lips.

My characters are a young witch named Scarlett and a high demon named Alistair. Scarlett has blond hair with bangs and wears an orange dress. Alistair has a mustache, dark skin, black hair, and a black suit. He leans close to Scarlett affectionately while she laughs.

A character named Leonа, a brown-haired girl, is sitting on a rock in a white dress, surrounded by nature.

A character named Scarlett inspired by a painting by Ferdinand Keller. She has wavy blonde hair partly pinned back, blue eyes, a yellow-and-blue dress with a brown cloak, holding a dove on her hand, with blue flowers in the background.

It’s my 24th birthday today 💅 The best gift would be if you shared my post with my arts!

Thank you 🩷

referenced off of Leyendecker's "Primping in the Mirror" piece — the vase and daffodils have been omitted, along with the top hat before the mirror. the background in the piece is all varied washes of red, still with shapes mimicking those in the original. replacing the man is OC Nepenthe, who is adjusting the cravat of the nondescript black clothes that form on his figure to mimic fabric. his hair is wildly floating sans gravity out behind him, and from his arms down black webbing flocks the reflection.

Sharing this speedpaint process of this drawing of of #Olrox and Vampire #Mizrak from #CastlevaniaNocturne 🖤 (these like these usually only go to my patreon✨)

Thank you! 🥺 It's such a bad timing again

Been sick for almost a week with a weird virus that just knocked any energy out of me with only mild cold symptoms (sore throat). I hoped it'd get better because I got a friend visiting over the weekend and I can't cancel it again for health reasons like last time 😵‍💫

My art, digital. A werewolf

Life has kinda kicked my ass the last couple of weeks so personal art has taken a bit of a hit. Grief stuff. I’m okay.
Anyway have a werewolf from 2020 in celebration of Werewolf Wednesday

‘I can’t live without AI!’

Were you born three years ago? Is this your first time experiencing the wonder of human thought and free will?

‘Can’t live without AI’

How embarrassing.

Hey artist! quote with your red art! ♥️

It was a matter of time. Also, they rolled in the verification requirement -a month prior- the date they said they would, and are also forcing a good amount of users to re-verify for some reason.

Love that AI, a thing we hate and don’t want, steals everything, ruins everything, shittifies everything. Drinks our water, plagiarizes our art, pisses all over our information fidelity, drives kids to suicide, serves the right-wing, and fucks up our devices and services. Good job, techbros!
