Favorite piece: Maybe one of these two? Not sure tbh

Program: Procreate!

Favorite brush: Monoline (default procreate), Round Rull soft, and Smooth sketching!

Purely bc I'm tired of seeing so much crap on my newsfeed. I rarely come on here, anymore.

Following a lot of "starter packs" was a BAD idea.

Bsky doesn’t allow video uploads longer than 3 minutes, so please go watch this.

I’m quitting art as a business permanently, and I’m taking a hiatus from social media.

100% of my paychecks will go to commissions refunds until paid up.

Please listen, and thank you if you do. I have to step away.

Here's one thing you can do: a disney+ subscription is around 16 dollars.

Go on Patreon/Kofi, find your top 16 creators/youtubers with less than a million subscribers and give them each $1 a month.

Changes lives, believe me

Mathew Buck @filmbrainbmb.bsky.social · 22d

I think it's becoming clear that if you like indie creators, you're going to need to support them any way you can. And that doesn't mean money, just spreading worth of mouth can be powerful as well.

Revisited an attempt to capture likeness. I did Angela Bassett no justice. She's too beautiful. 😭 The only sketch I really like is Jessica Lange's.

1st one: 2020
2nd: 2025

I still suck at capturing likeness. LMAO But I've gotten better, at least!

Idk why but streaming on Picarto feels like high pressure than on Twitch.

I might switch to just streaming on Picarto.

Omg it’s always something

I’ve had food poisoning the past 24 hours. Never felt so sick in my life. I feel like I’m dying. 😭

Someone show me cute stuff to distract me until my medicine kicks in.
