Posting this guy here to bully myself into working on his route (I think I'll have to designate an actual timeblock each week). I think about his route almost every other day and I've rewritten the intro like 3 times 😩 He's truly the 3 Seasons final boss.

Hi, I'm Leigh! 40s enby making a queer 90s flavored cyberpunk comic called Schism.

Drawing mostly OCs with lots of sketchy textures & color and gritty urban themes. Irregular mildly NSFW art posting, usually pinups.

I had a work employee retreat thing and turns out making stuff with pottery clay is so hard guys. SO hard. The wheel?!? Don't be fooled!!!

My pride has been wounded and I feel like I need to retreat to my tablet to remind myself I am fully capable of making something artsy that I can be proud of 🫠

A reminder to any canadian (or any) #watercolor artists. Beam Paints is an Indigenous owned company with beautiful plastic-free hues. Their sparkly metallics are to die for

Koregos, the Worldline! I LOVE the Desert Perpetual raid and the Vex, so I wanted to draw something that encompassed each encounter.

warmups of ceph

I like to think he wears one of those tight underarmour type shirts under the chest armour, so he sometimes walks around the tower/training areas etc without the chest piece

Took 3 years but got everything up to cap finally! WAR was my last one. Ironically, my crafters and gatherers were among the first I leveled and kept leveled because I was a shrewd sprout who refused to pay mkb extortion rates. Glad for that now!!

feat. my paladin glam 😊 PLD is my fave tank.

I'm so grateful to be off now for 2 weeks. Feels like I've been working nonstop for the last 4 months because of work + grad school. I'm proud of myself and grateful but wow, tiring.

I'm gonna set aside time to draw!! esp some self-indulgent Ceph.

I was drawing and tracing pokemon and Digimon out of colouring books to show the kids at school when I was 6-7. I was learning English as a second language and that was my method of making friends 🤣 For writing, I distinctly remember a teacher praising a story i wrote and that spurred me on as a kid
With all this awful news going on i wanna ask this question once again to fellow artists and general creatives. What got YOU into art? what sparked that motivation to start writing? what made you wanna pick up a camera and start taking pics? Like share with us your reasons.

everyone is losing the plot

THE PROCESS IS THE POINT!!!
YOU CANT OUTSOURCE THE WIP TO A MACHINE. A FINAL PRODUCT BUILT ON PLACEHOLDER SLOP IS JUST POLISHED SLOP.

this is so disrespectful to your workers I can't even. No we don't trust you to do the thinking part, just polish the machine's ideas🙄

Last week in my "for fun" planner. This was a lot to describe in alt text, I'm not sure if I have the spoons to do that every week :(

nobody was robbed more at the game awards than the year far cry 5 wasn't even nominated for best OST

ridiculous

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

my fellow terminally online friends, sometimes I worry about the way folks irl enthusiastically accept genAI or brush its usage off as inevitable ("it's like the calculator"). Today was my last session of my class this term and the topic of AI came up again (educational context) and I was like f it
