I’ve been drawing free stuff for the internet for the past 15 years, I got paid for a couple things.
You call me petite bourgeoisie I will make your nose meet the back of your skull with my fist

Honestly, people calling creators the "petite bourgeoisie" makes me want to snap.
We're working folk. And we work really hard. For next to nothing.
We're not lounging around eating bonbons. We're trying to figure out how we're going to be able to pay rent next month.

Gods this is so real.
Realism is a technical still, sure! It shows your understanding of a medium, of light, or the ability to copy a photo. But it's not everything. It's not the ONLY thing.
You can make amazing non-realistic art.
You can make amazing stylized art.
Cute, funky, weird, great art.

“THE NON-ARTIST FIXATION ON HYPERREALISM AS THE PINNACLE OF ART IS CLEARLY PART OF THE REASON SO MANY ADULTS THINK THEY CANNOT DRAW OR CONSIDER THEMSELVES TO BE FAILURES, KAWAII, FOLK ART, DOODLES, OR OTHER EASIER ENTRY POINTS ARE CONSIDERED CHILDISH, WHICH IS WHY JAPANESE DRAWING BOOKS ARE BETTER…”

I've been quietly working away on my debut graphic novel, a story 8 years in the making, and very dear to my heart. As the book gets closer to completion, I plan to share more of my process and this world with you. Until then, an offering...

"it is forcing me to be guarded when I should be wowed"
This.
This right here.
I'm so, SO tired of having to scrutinize any piece of art that even remotely resembles genAI slop just to determine whether or not it's worth a second thought or any admiration.

Why am I so against generative AI in games?
Because I simply do not want my initial reaction to art to be one of suspicion and scrutiny, AI slop is fundamentally damaging my relationship to art and artistry, and I am deeply resentful that it is forcing me to be guarded when I should be wowed.

Today's Art Tip is about drawing the head in perspective, and some shorthands to hopefully make that a little easier.

The first of the a-z monster list!!
The mighty Aarakocra, on the wing. This particular one is based on a Philippine eagle. This was a lot of work and a lot of studying, but I'm so happy with how it turned out. Soooo many feathers, but totally worth all the effort <3
