My art for #Truerefdt0010 was flagged as suggestive, which seems cute considering the NSFW gems here on Bluesky #ink #gouache #figurestudy

I do want to mention, that this was such an issue for me that I had anxiety over not being plugged in for like the first month I was limiting my intake of pure uncut information. 💀
I am devastated to confirm that changing to an image only feed on Bsky, only watching YouTube content from channels I actively subscribe to, and not being on any other social media feeds has improved my life in immeasurable and profound ways.

I think everyone should seek individual happiness online, because it will bleed into the overall happiness of the internet that we see at a global scale 🫶 If we take care of ourselves, we take care of each other

WIP from today's stream! Thanks for coming out, despite the technical issues x'D
It's Da Boi! Using @trueref.bsky.social's ref (that I strayed from a bit, but was still super helpful!) and my own ref from @sambestock.bsky.social for the eventual background.
Super fun, can't wait to finish <3 #art

Nothing bums me out more than not one but two explicit warnings being put on my, what I consider, SFW art references.
And I think it's because I know it's not going to get any better. Right now is as easy as it will ever be to post (clothed women.)
