Everyone who tried to draw around me and started drawing LOVED it at the beginning because of their QUICK IMPROVEMENT. Then quit when they hit The Wall™️.
But it's when you hit The Wall™️ that you NEED to push through with practice!! And you gotta do it for yourself, because it's ALWAYS worth it! 😤
That’s such a pity 😱 absolutely agree that it was one of her best. That and The Murder of Roger Ackroyd. Just brilliant.
Today's a great day to support some creators.
Writers and artists and creatives of all sorts: reply with a link to one of your works, if you'd like. And feel free to tell us about it.
Everyone: let's check through the replies and buy some creations and support some human beings.
My favorite coffee cup 🥰 Plants make everything better, amirite 🪴
Yeeeaaahh sounds about right 😂
Me: Oh noooo my computer is breaking and the colors are all wrong, how can I do art if the colors are WRONG
My computer, whispering: *night mode*
Me: ……oh. Right.

Pretty much 😂 for me it’s “yaaaaay let me grab my iPad and do art! Oh wait my eyes are burning from staring at my computer all day, all the pixels are blurry”
Game dev-ing while having a full time job is…I listen to our music moodboard while I’m making changes to documents, while I write emails I’m thinking of the concept art I’m working on later, my entire motivation for getting through my work is so I have time to work on our project later #indiedev
The snake looks awesome!
Oh yeah sorry, I was more replying to the whole thread but guess I hit reply on yours specifically accidentally 😂 agree that it won’t be a western gaming crash.
It’s the principle of the thing. Tencent’s investments and activities aren’t illegal or directly hurting anyone, and do we really want governments doing this sort of thing? Doesn’t it smack slightly of North Korea to anyone…? It sets a bad precedent.
Also despite alllll of the crime in his series, the worst known crime GRRM committed was not finishing the above mentioned one-of-the-most-epic-series-of-all-time
A desolate landscape of ruined temples and broken statuary. Between this and a red moon a vast and terrible figure moves. Pencil, watercolour wash, white chalk and paint on toned paper.
The world is terrible
(and beautiful.)
This is why we must make art to feed our souls and the inspire and give meaning.
In short, hire me you cowards.
I have two degrees in Classical Greek and it makes me so happy to see people doing this 🥰
Um, yes. Where else can I live out my fantasy of making an actual living doing creative things and having time to farm vegetables and living in an adorable little cottage 🙌🏼 🪴
Cleaning out my computer and found an old #pixelart assignment. I actually had so much fun doing this one 🤩 even though this perspective/vibe isn’t one I’d normally do

Even if you feel the world is ending, beauty will remain. I can find it comforting, in a way 🤔#pixelart
More Balls I pixelled for BallXPit
#pixelart
It’s definitely a marathon! Congrats on your first one 🤗
Finally tried a few Next Fest demos and I think my favorite so far is Gloomveil 🥰 I will 100% play this game even if it ends up just being running around that gorgeous, magical forest forever and ever
Reminder 🙌🏼
Omg I completely shut off this weekend for the first time in a loooong time - barely even touched my phone and just slept for most of the weekend. Ready to get back at it tomorrow 🙌🏼 I was so burned out and now I’m feeling so much better!

But of course! This is Lady Nightshade ✨
Me on day 57 of 2026:
Happy birthday! And yes, I definitely agree with this - I think ideally we always keep on growing and exploring and allowing ourselves to expand 🙌🏼
Game dev combines everything I love: writing, art, creativity, inspiring people, helping people have fun, and bringing beauty into the world 🙌🏼
I’m nearly 35 and just over the past 2 years feel like I’ve found what I *really* want to be doing with my life. You’re never too old, you can always learn new things, and you should never stop chasing until you find That Thing 💃🏼

Yeah this is not fabulous
The biggest effect I see from people still spending time on X—which many deny or don't even notice—is how it shifts their perception of what's normal. Such as:
Actively anti-trans is speaking like a normal person
Objecting to Nazi symbols turns off the working class
Epstein knew a bunch of Jews
etc
