A picture of a female presenting archer surrounded by flying pigeons. The background is an acidic greenish yellow sky with fluffy clouds. She’s pointing her bow and arrow to her right as she looks bewildered to the viewer because the pigeons have just taken flight. The woman has grey hair and is dressed in deep greys and brown leather clothes. A portrayal of a redhead woman from the tights up with a deep burgundy background and white flowers scattered all around. Her profile is looking at the left and her skin is very pale, with tattoos on her neck and on her stomach. She’s wearing an almost black suit with a deep V cut that reaches her belt. A picture of the three advisors of dragon age inquisition dressed up historically with a blue yellow and red palette. They're holding each other looking all sassy and a balloon on top of Cullen's head says "Be afraid". The background is cream colored, red and gold ribbons frame the picture from above, white bold lines frame the picture from below.

During my birthday and anniversary stream week, I host a 'badly explained pokemon' art event every year. This year's results kinda slap :D Which one is your favourite?
In the left, there is a fancy label reading 'Rules for Badly Explained Pokemon' with the simple rules underneath, guiding the live stream chat in their requests. Scattered over the page are several drawings of the badly described creatures, trying to resemble pokemon - some more and others less successfully.

Question for artists:
What is a material or type of object you often feel like you search online for reference but can never find the right type of picture in a high enough resolution?

While I am drawing fanart of a couple bastard characters, I am reminded that I should be drawing more of my own bastard.

For all the newbies, here is my OC, the trickster bastard, Pumpkin Prince!

(Old art from 2019/2020)
A digital illustration of my oc, the Pumkin Prince, a young undead blonde kid with large branch-like horns, a pumpkin hat, and a brown suit, sitting in a jack-o-lantern patch and holding poison candy apple, under the orange-tinted night sky.

Reminder for artists: don't get blinded by the "big number" for an art project. Remember to do the math.

$3,000 for a tarot card desk *sounds* great. But in reality you're only being paid $38.46 per artwork. And if each artwork takes 20 hours to make, you're getting paid $1.92/hr

Because it's my birthday, you have to repost my art. 🎂
(I don't make the rules, that's just the way it is on Bluesky!)

#kidLitArt #kidLit #illustration #art #birthday
A grey rabbit in a pretty blue polka-dot dress with a carrot-patterned apron over it holds up a two-tiered carrot cake that she has just baked and frosted. The cake holds a single lit candle. This was drawn as a Draw This in Your Style challenge: The original character design was by Anastasiia Panchenko (@lapin.siia on IG) A sunny summer scene at a tiny tea table outside a rustic cottage surrounded by bushes and trees. A young witch, surrounded by frogs and wearing purple robes and a witch's hat, talks animatedly to an ordinary looking boy. They're both holding teacups but he's looking VERY nervously at his, and also at the frog on the table. The book title reads "The Tea Witch's Retreat" with the author's name "Christina Warwick." Luigi (from the Mario Bros games) in a rockabilly style. He's got a black and green bowling shirt in with an "L" embroidered on his chest, rolled-cuff jeans and Converse All-Stars. He's also got a large pompadour, sideburns, and lots of Mario-related tattoos. He's holding a large plumber's wrench. In a dark nighttime hallway with huge arched windows, a girl and a werewolf (also a girl) are sneaking around. Both are wearing school uniforms, although the werewolf's has ripped a bit from her transformation. She has just knocked over a small table and broken a vase and the girl is shushing her. Through one of the large windows, we see more school buildings and a full moon. The book cover title is "Boarding School Werewolf" by Jo Barnett. At the top of the cover, it says "School can be a transformative experience."

Putting smth onto the web that you're happy with and that ppl can stumble upon in their own time and through their own serendipity is better than determining how you feel abt your work based on its algorithmic performance.

And that's why I want web-browsing culture back.
