Painted someone's FF7 OC, because she started it

Digital painted portrait that features a close-up portrait of a feminine human, framed from the shoulders up. The character's gaze is directed towards the viewer. The subject has short, choppy blue hair and pale skin. The eyes are bright cyan similar to SOLDIER individuals from Final Fantasy VII, and are highlighted by black eyeliner, which creates a sharp contrast. The individual has multiple piercings, including a nose ring, lip piercings, and ear piercings with large gauges. A dark lipstick on the upper lip completes the aesthetic. The subject is wearing a dark, close-fitting top with a high neckline, and a silver necklace with a black diamond-shaped pendant. Numerous star tattoos are on the right side of the face.

Listen to me. Listen. If you're making images that will only be displayed on screens, YOU HAVE TO LET GO. You can calibrate your screens perfectly, but then 25k people will see it on their shitty $50 monitors or cracked phone and its out of your hands. Don't think of it. Achieve enlightenment.

Tweet by @night margin "digital artist woes" image of the same color gradient on various screen (monitor 1 appears very grey purple, phone appear VERY pink, monitor 2 appears a more saturated purple, laptop appears brownish red, family's phone appears much darker and bluer etc.)

This is good reporting on the disaster in Alaska if you're looking for a reliable summary.

This is a bigger disaster than I think most are realizing. 1500 people have been displaced by the flooding with an exceptionally complicated response and recovery.

It’s the hypocrisy of “you will not replace us” while on stolen land…

It’s the history repeating…

You gotta give ‘em hop.

A tweet from the Anonymous account says, “Make sure the dude in the frog costume in Portland knows he's an icon.” The image is a stylized poster of a frog wearing a stars-and-stripes scarf with the word “HOP” below, in the style of the Obama “HOPE” poster.

Had a dream that one of my online friends visited my hometown after a hurricane and they looked like a more colorful mothman

Rough sketch of an anthropromorphic promethea silkmoth. The lines are colored to resemble the colors on the real-life moth, except for the eyes, which are colored in with a vibrant red. Not-Mothman waves to the viewer in a casual manner.

Custom Goblin from #Lancer ...so not looking forward to turning this into a sprite

Sketch in dark green of a person-sized mech that resembles an insect. It has large foreclaws and wings, and the pilot inside is visible, making the mech seem more like a type of armor.

I would have guessed a king of wands or cups personally, though I 100% how you'd get death too. Either way, it doesn't scream page to me either

Slapping down some #art commissions and hoping for the best here. See me on Ko-fi or just send me a message here so we can talk about it~ ko-fi.com/fishwithakni...

Price sheet for sketches, ranging from fairly rough with support lines, to fully colored. Each stage depicts a waist-up drawing of the same avian humanoid that resembles a cross between a hawk and a crow wearing a sleeveless robe or tunic. The fully colored version has feathers similar to that of a black-eared kite, which are a rusty brown with white feathers mixed in around the head and face. The tunic is a powder blue with a dark blue obi without a visible knot. Stage one is listed as "Rough $10 USD". Stage two is somewhat more refined but still has rough lines and is listed as "Cleaned $15 USD". Stage three has more clean bold lines with clear details and is listed "Refined $30 USD". Stage 4 is the fully colored version with shading and colored details, listed as "Full Color $$50 USD".

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references.

Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.

Sometimes when you notice AI in art and photos it's easy to point out to folks not tuned into that - wrong number of fingers and so forth - but sometimes you just devolve into I CAN TELL FROM SOME OF THE PIXELS AND FROM SEEING QUITE A FEW SHOPS IN MY TIME

ko-fi.com/i/IQ5Q61M66SV More ko-fi nonsense as I work on how I want my pricing sheet to look. I keep getting told I'm underpricing myself, but between the economy and a lack of visibility, I don't think I can justify anything more than this

I'm opening up commissions for sketches, because nearly every large appliance in my house is broke. Notably I *can* sketch furry OCs, though I don't have a ton of examples. For details, check out my Ko-fi while I get around to making a proper information sheet.

so hey, with the entirety of the FBI in a fevered state to find any shred of evidence that THE TRANSES and THE FURRIES caused a political assassination, keep in mind that discord isn't private

Had a dream I was this guy in some kind of fighting arena. It was weird because apparently I was a demigod, but also 80s tech existed and so did alien beasts (that I had to fight). What genre was this dream even trying to be?

Messy sketch detailing a male adult humanoid with lionfish-inspired finned ears and dorsal fin on the back. His skin is pastel orange with white and vibrant cyan stripes along the back. His orang and cyan hair is cropped short and combed forward toward the face. His eyes have catlike pupils with red irises and dark teal sclera, He wears a greco-roman inspired gladiator outfit consisting of shin armor, an arm guard, and a guantlet. In one image he holds a brass trident. There is a back and side view without color that details the dorsal fin.
