Heya #portfolioday, I'm Sphinx. I work professionally as a technical illustrator, but I am always looking to network with new artist friends. I like drawing cool OCs, fanart, and other stuff in my free time!

I think today's a good day to support indie authors who don't use AI.
And also to support editors, cover designers, artists, and book coaches who don't use AI and aren't running grift classes.
Small businesses that are struggling and get paid poverty wages.

I feel like this also applies to art/drawing. Really great post, thank you for sharing. It's hard learning to deprogram yourself of the hustle mindset.
Hot take: Writing every day can be bad advice for some.
Here's why I don't write daily and other ways to stay consistent on your WIPs.

Hot Take: Writing Every Day Can be Bad Advice
Sometimes, writing every day is not the best writing advice out there. There are other ways to stay accountable and consistent if you struggle to write daily.

It's hard to be human at all right now.
And you? You're a creator—a superhuman.
That's even harder.
Build community. Build in breaks. Build patience. But whatever you do?
Don't stop. We need you now more than ever. 💜

Follow up exploration for piercings! It's very typical to see Allderians with ear jewelr, and sometimes even tattoos (though this is much less common due to the sensitivity of the ear). #art #conceptart #creaturedesign #sciart #scifi #oc #ocsky

Quick reference & study for Allderian ears. They're like a mixture between a bat and a bat-eared fox. Uniquely, they have ear lobes, which are often decorated with piercings and jewelry. #oc #ocsky #scifi #sciart #evolution #originalspecies

Of all the easy things you can do to help the environment, conserve water for communities not corporations, not perpetuate scams, support the labor and rights of creators... *not* using generative AI is the fucking easiest. You absolutely deserve to be shamed for using it for image and text creation

It was more intense than I thought, but worth it. I feel like I just "gave birth" to her again. Tagging #nsfw just in case, but I think ya'll can handle some artistic nudity.

First, they were major in my LotR AU until my recent transition to original work. If you want to see more, feel free to check out the art after years of diving into that world. It's totally worth holding onto old OCs to see how far you come. #lotr #ocxcanon www.pistachiozombie.org/secrets-in-t...

A guy at Cj's workplace didn't get his way, so he threw an actual tantrum and made a mess throwing boxes and food everywhere in the back of a company truck. But thank God we don't have a woman president. We're just too emotional.
