The painting @ribbonotes.bsky.social did of my mom came back from the framer today. With the number of artists including both of my great grandmothers on that side of the family I really wanted to honor both the family legacy and my mom through this and I think Lessie nailed it.

A watercolor painting of a representation of my mom riding on her bay horse Spooky along a coastline based on the Oregon coast. She is wearing a blue hooded cloak and has a peaceful expression as she looks out at the ocean.

Writing Tip:
Give yourself a goal. Write it down. Start small. Something Iike: 'I want to write 1000 words today'. Put it on a post-it and stick it somewhere within eyeshot. It's a lot harder to goof off if that goal is staring you right in the face.

okay this is HUGE??? (clip studio)
For lineart specifically (monochrome stuff), if your layer is in "color" mode, liquify tool will most likely blur it during transformation...
If you set it to "monochrome" first, IT STAYS CRISPY 🤯🤯🤯

example of a part of lineart being transformed with liquify tool in clip studio - in color and monochrome layers mode, to show that the monochrome version keeps the lines pixelated/unblurred

if you’re an artist with commissions open, feel free to copy this and use it! if you open alt text on the image it’ll let you copy/paste it word for word so you don’t have to retype it.

Andy ✨ Draw Your Sword @prookal.com · Dec 22

just a warning if you try to commission me in an attempt to use it for an nft or ai training: I do research all of my commissioners before I start !

you will not get a refund, and I'll be spreading your name to other artists so you can't get commissions in the future.

screenshot of a commission terms and conditions sheet. It's focusing on a centered block of text that reads "6- If you agree to this contract, and send payment, and I find out that you make, sell, or aid in the creation of NFTs or genertive AI in any form: you immediately lose your rights to refund and forfeit your rights to whatever money you sent regardless of whether your intent was to turn this into an NFT or use it to train generative AI or not. I will not complete the project in this circumstance."
