My friends and loved ones...
I'm Saeed from Gaza, still doing my best to support my family. This week, we need food for our children, medicine for my parents, and basic supplies costing around €300. Any support, no matter how big or small, means life to us all.

Ahoy #portfolioday! I'm Béla, a trans male artist from Germany. I love dark fantasy and historical costumes, swords and armour, currently drawing a tarot deck on the side. Looking for work in ttrpgs, film, games.

My dream is to get the time and sanity to work on my comics again. #artsky

Naglfar, my mörk borg character (fanged deserter, a fighter class)
of obscure descent, he's a brutal fighter through and through, who loves to sink his obscenely large teeth into his foes and wielding a great ugly sword. he's an idiot

Hi my friend, My family and I are exhausted from constant hardship. I’m asking for support because we truly need it. Your help would bring us light in dark days.
Please consider making a donation 💚
Your support can help us rebuild, heal, and find hope again after all we’ve endured.

it was inevitable that capitalists would start selling us short-lived remedies you can sell over and over instead of our institutions working toward a healthy planet.
A 25-person startup is developing technology to block the sun and turn down the planet’s thermostat.

The stakes are huge — and the company and its critics say regulations need to catch up.

I get gen-AI-written emails lately on top of the usual scam ones, which feels extra bad cuz they look more convincing.

Some things to watch for:

🚩 Overly specific w flattery, but overly vague w what they want from you
🚩 Repeats long online summaries/keywords verbatim like it’s their own thoughts
Evergreen warning for artists!!
If a prospective client is:

🚩 pushy/tries to rush your response time early on
🚩 insists on paying via cashier’s check
🚩 vague about how they want the art to look, but *really* specific about how they want it paid/delivered

It’s 🌈 a scam 🌈

“THE NON-ARTIST FIXATION ON HYPERREALISM AS THE PINNACLE OF ART IS CLEARLY PART OF THE REASON SO MANY ADULTS THINK THEY CANNOT DRAW OR CONSIDER THEMSELVES TO BE FAILURES, KAWAII, FOLK ART, DOODLES, OR OTHER EASIER ENTRY POINTS ARE CONSIDERED CHILDISH, WHICH IS WHY JAPANESE DRAWING BOOKS ARE BETTER…”

Gods this is so real.
Realism is a technical still, sure! It shows your understanding of a medium, of light, or the ability to copy a photo. But it's not everything. It's not the ONLY thing.
You can make amazing non-realistic art.
You can make amazing stylized art.
Cute, funky, weird, great art.
