Emotional Self Portrait

My submission for the @pokeearthcollab.bsky.social Meowth Collab!

Really sad to hear about James Carter Cathcart’s passing. Crazy just how many characters he voiced in the anime.

An illustration in black ink and colored pencil of the pokemon Meowth.

Meowth is a bipedal beige cat with brown markings on its feet and tail. It has black ears and a gold coin embedded in its forehead. This Meowth is slouched over and furrowing its brow in exasperation.

Gratz on 300!

I'm effingoose, and I started my art journey about a year ago. I want to be able to draw a bunch of weird monsters- but need the basics first

I'm learning a ton, and am inspired by others work!

Maybe the rapture happened already, and the bodies are continuing to move.

Being soulless would explain the average Evangelical's actions and opinions.

This was a fun practice. It really helped loosen up my sketching.

I'll probably do another this week. :)

They built their fema camps. Seems right to put them inside them.

new drawing incoming, tried doing it pencil-only but it seems it really needs ink

One suggestion I have for practice, especially when drawing from refs-

Once your done, put the ref + sketch away, and try drawing it again with no ref. (The ones on the right in my practice) I've found doing this helps to helps reinforce what you practiced.

This whole right-wing canard, that even learning about the existence of something is "promoting" it, is so poisonous. God forbid you learn about anything even mildly new or challenging while getting a degree

the most sinister part of our current struggle is that the "welfare queens"/"superpredators" rhetoric won the war on poverty, not the Great Society, and people were willing to believe in the worst without evidence, no hesitation

Brian Goldstone @brian-goldstone.bsky.social · Sep 9

The belief that poverty and homelessness are about "individual choices" didn't arise on its own. It was manufactured through decades of messaging designed to protect the policies and interests that create mass precarity.

As this new poll shows, that propaganda campaign has been wildly successful.

Most US adults think individual choices keep people in poverty, new AP-NORC/Harris poll finds

A new AP-NORC poll finds that most U.S. adults think personal choices are a major driver of poverty and homelessness, while fewer blame a lack of government support.
