Just thinking about how my mom wrote a speech for my wedding and it had 'grammatical mistakes' because English is her second language but really it was perfect because those were HER words.

And anyone using ChatGPT to communicate for them is missing that. They're outsourcing their humanity.

With all this awful news going on i wanna ask this question once again to fellow artists and general creatives. What got YOU into art? what sparked that motivation to start writing? what made you wanna pick up a camera and start taking pics? Like share with us your reasons.

My #artvsartist this year!

I'm pretty happy with my output, but my sense of time is wildly out of whack (the cover from March feels like last year... the cover from June feels like yesterday, lol) Probably just a reflection of the state of the world tbh.

Anyway celebrate games + game devs but never worship companies no matter how friendly the CEO seems ✨

(also support worker-owned co-ops)

A heartfelt thank you to all who buy from independent artists, hire us, or even share our work or give words of encouragement. Even the most established of artists are feeling a decline in work and sales this year. Your support in all or any way is felt and appreciated amongst us! Thank you!!

Finding & working with clients (a thread)

This is a general approach which should be broadly applicable. Although I’ll primarily be using book covers as an example, this approach should work for TTRPGs, TCGs, games, film, etc. to varying degrees depending on the industry and its needs.

- paintover of specific pieces

I'm on the hunt for artists/illustrators that specialise in landscapes and scenery, or who love drawing nature! 🌷🏞️🌳

I'd especially love to hear from BIPOC artists, but this is an open call! Self promo welcome, please comment with examples/portfolio links if possible ☺️

today is my 28th birthday! as we all know, sharing artists’ work makes them very happy.

thank you for all your continuing support and newfound friendships this year, it means the world to me.
one very green painting of my OC, mysterious skeleton girl, posing down on her knee. she has unnaturally long limbs. she’s holding a fossilised ichthyosaur skull sword on her shoulder and is wearing weird clothes that make her skeleton visible like on an x-ray. there’s a spirit of a hare in the background, running around with its eye gleaming red. a digital painting with three characters from kingdom come deliverance games standing one before the other: lady jitka, hans and henry. first comes lady jitka of kunstadt standing with her back to us. she is dressed in a dark reddish dress with white rim that slightly opens her shoulders, and a white waistband. she has black hair and warm skin and looks very delicate. next, standing face to face with her but looking sideways, is hand capon, her almost husband. he’s highest of the three of them, dressed is almost all white, with yellow hues. there’s somewhat lost look on his face. he holds jitka’s right hand in his left one up, but it doesn’t look like he’s doing it willingly. behind him, almost lost to the background and to the figures before him, stands henry. he’s holding his sword in his left hand, wearing a red glove. the blade of the sword stays between hans’ and jitka’s shoulders, not letting them come closer to each other. henry’s face is barely visible behind hans’ shoulder but he’s looking at jitka. not with hate, not with jealousy, more with acceptance and awareness. henry’s holding a wreath full of flowers and a red ribbon in his right hand. hans’ right one, instead of holding jitka’s, has found the wreath without having to look, and his and henry’s finger are touching. jitka knows. she’s looking down, trying to reach them with her fingers, but alas. that heart is already full. there are herbs’ silhouettes in the background. according to the list of plants with symbolism on wiki, here’s their meaning. astragalus for hans (your presence softens my pain), heliotrope for henry (emblem of faithfully devoted love), and rue for jitka (regret, sorrow, repentance, grace, clear vision , disdain). three sketches of my beagle, Bucky. he’s posing, asking for snacks, eyes wide and begging; he is lying curled into a ball, eyes sad like no one loves him (LIES); and he is lying on his side, stretched out, his ear thrown back. digital drawing made in heavypaint. it’s a simple bright and sunny mountain landscape, with white clouds and greenery and flowers. a girl is standing in the grass, turned to us. she has long golden blonde hair, is dressed in a white shirt and red shorts and is holding a hat with a white ribbon on it in her left hand and a yellow flower in her right. she’s smiling, happy and calm, her eyes closed. two birds are flying in the distance. this is a portrait of my friend. i haven’t visited her in a couple years.
