After forever of not posting on here I decided (with much encouragement of friends) to try and post WIPs of a project. Hopefully this will lead to making and posting more art on here.

I recently went back and polished some details on this illustration, so I thought it warrants reposing.

I remember when I drew this. I was super scared because I never used strong lights before and I was so proud. And now I'm looking at it and I'm just like, bro you used a little bit of an airbrush. That's it. I do want to redraw it someday xD

They are wearing an adorned white lab coat and are mostly silver and white in color themself. They have four arms, clawed hands and feet, a really long spiked tail and a face with a screen displaying a single eye.

If you're a creator who:

-Takes long break periods
-Creates very slowly
-Has another full time job or engagement
-Struggles with productivity
-Is inconsistent

I'm sorry to tell you...

YOU'RE STILL A VALID CREATOR BECAUSE CREATING IS TIED TO PASSION, NOT PRODUCTIVITY🫶🏻

A little guide to help artists properly post their art in Bluesky!

#tutorial

An image with notes explaining how to properly post art on Bluesky so it gets picked up by the Feeds' algorithms, allowing more people to see your art. Among the tips are: Using hashtags, tagging your art as adult or suggestive content, using the Alt Text (Alternative Text) function, and reposting (retweeting) your own art multiple times along the day.

I came across an outdated guide on image grid sizing crop/proportions for bsky earlier, and I felt it was important to create an updated version! Please use this new guide instead!

Up-to-date BlueSky Crop Aspect Ratio
Crop Sizes for Bluesky as of 18 Oct 2024

By default, single images are uncropped. If image is too tall (Exceeds the 1:2 aspect ratio) then it will be cropped. Single images that are too tall may be scaled down but aspect ratio is preserved

With two images, both of them share a square aspect ratio of 1:1

For three images, the first image is square (1:1) while the other two are half-squares (2:1)

And for 4 images, all of them are 3:2
