You know, the AI bros get high off the idea of their ideas coming to life, but they’ll never experience the joy of their work turning out way better than expected due to what they’ve learned and improved on throughout the process. Sucks for them.

It would be super cool to not be sick anymore.
At least it's not keeping me from painting now.

Yeah, there's no way I'm getting this done tonight. That's fine, it'll be ready for 7.5...hopefully. The face glow-up though, I'm very proud of it!

I started this like a few days before FFXIV:Dawntrail came out, in an attempt to make a last minute "Maintenance Erenville." Got nowhere near finished before said maintenance, and cast it aside.

Now I'm going to repeat said mistake and see how much I can fix before maintenance...tonight.

Cropping it didn't appease the censorship gods, so I guess we're sticking with the original. The "adult content" flag is so inappropriate but there's not much I can do.

The state of censorship on this site is depressing.

"St. Sebastian of the Screen"

I'd been thinking a lot about how digital censorship and the proliferation of AI is stripping people of their critical thinking and creativity. This was born from that and the need to embrace art even more as an act of both grounding and defiance.

I was very excited to show off this painting, only to have it immediately flagged and rejected by both Bluesky and Cara due to a bit of pubic hair, I imagine. This age of the human body being labeled as NSFW is just...exhausting.

Having to censor a painting about censorship is ironic.

I used to feel so self-conscious about how long it takes me to make art, but now I'm okay with it for now. Art is hard, and I'm learning as I go, so every painting is a process of trial and error. But I'm falling in love with the process over the finished product, and that's the best place to be.

I’ve been so absent with art for way too long so here’s proof that i’m getting my ass back to work

Just spent the past hour trying to troubleshoot my tablet to no avail, only to realize...

I didn't have it plugged in all the way x.x

Anyways, let's get back to making art

Thanksgiving is the biggest time of the year for the store I work at and thus I've been working 10-12 hour shifts for the past week. As soon as this is over I'm getting back on the art grind I miss it so bad but these shifts take all the willpower out of me x.x

Oh this game has gotten me in its claws and I cannot wait to make art of my pretty healer boy.

Ya'll, I'm switching my pc over to Linux this weekend and I CANNOT WAIT to be done with microsoft. I can't even open photos on my pc now because it demands I upgrade to windows 11 and I'm not having it.

Me: It's nearly 2:30, I should call it a night.
Brain: Perfect time to start another large project.
Me: Shit, you're right.

Glad I decided not to give up one this one even if it needs a *lot* of work. I want to draw more bun boi

I'm reposting this because it didn't get the love it deserves

(and despite bsky's crap auto labelling, it only contains nudity and not sexually explicit content...)
Finally finished with it.

Apparently I can't get my photos to open because the computer needs to update (to Windows 11) which is a hell no from me. Going to be working on moving over to Linux soon but I'm so worried about the process x.x

Trying to find info on local election candidates when you live in a small town is like pulling teeth.
