there’s this weird idea a lot of people seem to have about how all of us writers and artists must secretly want to use AI and are merely resisting temptation for ethical reasons, and like, no, it’s not hard for me to resist drinking the bowl of Piss With Glass In It actually

#Swordtember day 22: Swan🕊️
I had a lot of fun with this design!

Another keychain sword with a blade made out of water river. A swan shape make the handle, and its children are attached to the beginning of the blade.

I think this is my most complex material yet

It covers everything from the most basic controls to enabling wind effects, triplanar projections, leaf cards etc.

Almost every object in my scene uses instances of this main material (∩｀-´)⊃━☆ﾟ.*･｡ﾟ

The white text box below reads, "Artist applications are now open for 'We've Always Been Here', a queer history zine. Let's show everyone that queer people have always been a part of history. This is a paid opportunity, contingent on our Kickstarter successfully funding."

day 19: membrane

#swordtember

drawing of a green sword that looks more like it’s a leaf with sharp edges and spikes or a weird green dragon with no limbs but with a big red eye with a membrane (inspired by a green tree frogs eyes). i love frogs, frogs are great

It's liberating to confidently say "this is not for me" and ~still~ be able to see why it works and is immensely enjoyable for other people.

You can still positively discuss the piece, if you want, in its own terms. Take joy and teachings in seeing why it clicked for some and not for you.

ari velazquez 🌯 @arivelazquez.com · 22d

people are unwilling to say they don't like something without making it a grand failing of the art in question because they haven't actually cultivated a sense of taste. so used to mimicking popular talking points that it's easier to piece those together on a superficial layer instead of look inward

Whatever you do, please don’t stop reading.

Read for joy. Read for education. Read for resistance. Read banned books. Read books by marginalized authors. Read about experiences that differ from your own.

Just. Keep. Reading.

Make it because you must, because it's like eating and drinking to you. Because something deep inside you screams every second you ignore what you truly wish to do. Make it because you are here now, and it is for you and no one else
