Hey so you can stop putting yourself and your art on trial :)
You can have fun. You can treat yourself with the same kindness you treat others.
This is your sign. 🫡✨🌱

Translators work hard to make sure that the translated words, sentences, paragraphs, chapters, etc, not only convey the author's meaning, but also the author's *style.*

Translators are alchemists. They are artists, and poets, and researchers, and editors. They are magicians and wizards.

Been thinking on the use of GenAi for mood boards. Ethics and legal risks aside, I truly believe using GenAi as references deprives one of many pivotal things.

Here’s a blurb on what I mean:
Some thoughts: When using GenAi as a mood board you don't get sources. This means you deprive yourself from knowledge. You generated a location? You deprived yourself of knowing more about the interesting parts of the world and why things came to be. Generate an armor or costume? You deprived yourself on real world techniques, function, form and history. You generated art inspirations? You deprive yourself of learning about artists from history or lock out living ones from potentially being hired. Ethical issues of using GenAi models aside, one ends up making visuals mood boards devoid of reality and history. With it one deprives themselves from learning about our world and who is living in it, inadvertently making your work weaker, because of how detached it is from our shared human reality and history.

I'm so proud of how this came out. I went crazy on the details in the line art, and it made me determined to match my line craze with a matching attention to rendering 🥰

An illustration of the super fascist puncher Spider-Punk. He's standing on the ledge of a structure with one foot slightly over the edge and the other one fully over it, vaguely pointing in the direction of the camera perspective underneath him. He leans on an electric guitar that he holds very casually in his right hand

Lots of people think they don't make art because they "lack talent". That's almost never the real reason, though. Most people stop because being a beginner hurts so bad. Embarrassment, shame and avoiding "cringe" stopped me for years. So most people wait to feel confident before they start. But...

In 2026, I think artists should be proud to self-promo! 🥳

No more shame about selling your wares! No more shyness! In the age of AI, people are desperate for real art and want to see your shops and goodies!! 🎊

Love myself a good sketch spread

#ArtAdventCalendar #art #BRart #sketch
A spread with five drawings in it. On the top right is a bright blue shark basket with card games in it. On the top left is a young man with short hair wearing headphones and a flowy long-sleeved top with his arms open, drawn with only black linework. On the middle left is a blueberry with bright purple highlights. On the bottom left is a bright blue and pink lobster, its antenna are making a heart, its got a small heart in between its eyes, and the highlights in its eyes are also tiny hearts. Lastly, on the bottom right is a drawing of a man walking, facing this side profile. He’s wearing green cargo pants, a white checkered long-sleeve shirt with the sleeves pulled up to his elbows, a dark blue cap, and dark blue bag around his shoulders sitting by waist. He’s white and has a ginger goatee, and is drinking an orange drink in a see-through cup with a straw. There’s bright blue bounce light on the shadows of his shirt.

Gouache painting of a man wearing light blue ensemble (scarf around his head, blazer and a pair of knee-socks,) a dark blue shirt tucked in a pair of teal shorts, and he is wearing dark blue dress shoes. A heavy sling bag is hanging off his right shoulder, and he is carrying a suitcase on the left hand. There are three fish surrounding him, with a green and turquoise floral patterns as a backdrop. gouache painting of a man in a white Kimono, holding a staff and walking beside his school of fish, as if he's herding them.

Last day of #ArtAdventCalendar !!

Had a great time doing this challenge, was awesome finding so many new artists

Congrats to everyone who participated :))

Digital painting of a shoreline with rock formations. On the top right of the painting there's a mountain-side with a giant face formed by the rocks. The ocean is a bright blue with mossy rocks scattered, peaking through the water, some attached to the coast. In the background, you can see a sharp rock formation in the distance and another in an arch formation.

For further context twitter added a button that allows users to generate ai images using existing art posts from artists. It removes glaze and it basically reskins the artwork by using the existing work as a base. Twitter is no longer a safe space for art
