a drawing of a woman dressed in 1960s style flapper attire sitting on her haunches while looking at the viewer demurely. she's wearing pearls and lace lingerie underneath a shiny red faux-fur robe.

People who think the idea of "give me ideas" is something genuinely creative people want have literally never experienced the absolute EUPHORIA of a brainstorming breakthrough, either solo or with a human collaborator. They don't understand what is happening when artists create, on a basic level.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

She deserved a better basic fullbody so I did this too. [ oc ]

Standing, basic fullbody reference pose of artist's OC, a muscular woman high-elf with pale grey skin criss-crossed with scars. She has short messy hair and ragged, stained pants. Her legs are bandaged and she has shackles weighing her ankles down. In her shoulders and hands are embedded black spikes.

be wary of who you choose to posit as your source of information. you are not the untouchable mental fortress you think you are.

“i wouldn’t fall for that, i’m too old/mature/etc!” — you are not immune to propaganda. that is why it is called propaganda.

red ivory 🩸

a drawing of a pale unicorn leering rather ominously at the viewer from behind its raised hand, held delicately over the lower half of its face. several droplets of red drip from the long, pointed horn at its forehead. among its wardrobe is a dress shirt with puffed sleeves, a cravat pinned with a heart medallion, and several pieces of jewelry. the art itself has a rough, paper-like texture.

if there are any artists following me that migrated from paint tool sai to procreate, this brush pack has been an absolute boon. the creator replicated the pen sensitivity to the best of their ability. azzylum.gumroad.com/l/sYEUh

a guide to various brushes in the pack. credit to azzylum on gumroad.

the lovers ❤️

a drawing of a pair of half-naked butch/femme lesbian lovers entangled in an intimate embrace. anneliese (she/her) is lifting omen’s (they/them) leg at the knee, letting the weight of her partner’s thigh rest against her own as her other hand pulls the two of them chest-to-chest. omen’s raised arm sits behind her shoulders, hand angled just so to tangle their clawed fingers into her tousled curls. they regard each other with half-lidded, lovestruck gazes and knowing grins. the art features flat colors in romantic red hues.

femme= an identity
high femme= a presentation
stone femme= a sexual boundary

rose🩸🦇 @cherryelms.bsky.social · 1d

btw, stone femme =/= diametric opposite of stone butch. i see a lot of misunderstandings regarding the identity, especially from those who believe it means “refuses to reciprocate”. frankly, if you aren’t having stone sex, refrain from opening your mouth on the subject.

happy international lesbian day, especially to the stone butches & stone femmes. we may have the least mainstream representation within the community, but we exist. lots of love.
