I try to keep the mantra "life goes on" to not trip on every tragedy like I used to but yeah it's been going on. without me. For a while now. I need binoculars to see it now

We don't really have promotions at work, we just move around responsibilities laterally like ameobas gathering more and more tasks to be responsible for and giving others away. Every week is different.

Getting a teeny tiny raise (unless) so that's cool tho

Here’s a concept from before/first semester undergrad.

considering touch-ups on the right image to sell, as it was a springboard for the left. Both came from the same iterative sketches but took different routes for their medium as digital was easiest to modify over time, but took longer for it.

Going to the vet in 2 days and I’m gonna get my money’s worth and ask why they do this when they have 3 hanging toys, 4 perches, and a swing (especially when one has something wrong with her foot 🙄😭)

U do need that reference, but practice without it in between. Build memory & intuition to find styles and set your soul free

Your identity is not a brand. Your brand is a subset of your actions and personality and must always come second to authenticity. If you change who you are to more closely align to your "brand" you will lose yourself.

It is better to lose followers than your soul
Friend was venting a bit about struggling with "moot perception" and I think in 2026 some of you need to regain control and agency of your spaces. Having the "what will my followers think" mindset is self-harming. It's your account, with your rules, and every follower is a guest. Don't forget that.

I don’t buy into the myth that hardships makes better art. Sometimes art is made in spite of it or in conversation to it, but personally I don’t know how to be creative when I’m sad.

A+

Needs more benches tho. Shops would take theirs indoors by 6pm..we know why 😐
Mayor Zohran Mamdani and City Council Speaker Julie Menin on Saturday announced an initiative to install more public bathrooms across the city.

Leviathan polypaint renders!🖌️

My inspiration for this colour pallet was from deep sea creatures like the anglerfish, gulper eel, goblin sharks and things like crustaceans for the segmented panels.
muted, pale tones to give it a more realistic look!

Just saw a content-theft account reposted by someone here. A tip: if their bio says something like, “if you own the original, DM me,” you can tell they are happy to steal, mislead, and profit off other people’s work (and don’t want to be called out about it in public). Personally, I block on sight.
