Can someone explain the shading assist in CSP to me?

I don’t know how I feel about it but I’m not a CSP native so I’m just confused.

Instagram isn’t ACTUALLY going to start scraping our private messages for AI right?

Like it’s fake news right?

Obviously, a microwave baddie would be a thicc, bountiful beauty. But what would a microwave baddie wear?

This is the character design crisis of my life. Do I go casual, lazy loungewear, Emma Frost adjacent, or intergalactic hottie?

Y'all, I'm struggling
I spent so much time this week trying to make a hot microwave waifu, and I can't get the microwave part right.

You can hear me have a breakdown about it here. youtu.be/JQcXlRci3LU?... But I'm going to bring the microwave saga here to Bluesky.

Dude same, but I don’t have a drawing tablet to even make myself desirable as a drawing tablet person in the first place and my iPad catches on fire when I open Procreate.
I want to get on those HUION tablet marketing they do maybe i should email them for a chance ;;

I made a video introducing my OC, Eris. I still haven't actually finished the illustration though, so that'll be posted here soon-ish

But if you want to meet Eris, the incarnate of Chaos or have any questions let me know!

I’m so torn between this hair and making the mechanical arm or her amputation or pre timeskip longer hair with double muscle mommy….. #arcane #sevika #wip

I’m in this exact same position with video game ideas. I have all the concepts, I’m ready to Art, concept design, character plan my life away. But I want to art for someone else. Like please tell me what to do. #artistproblems
i have an idea for an illustrated book of folklore stories but the whole thing is just so daunting and shapeless that i dont know from which side to even approach it.
i have the concept but I'd like the writer (s) to either be someone else or the actual archived texts.. but how does one get those..

you know what pisses me off?
finding an artist that:

-have only censored works on their IG page
-no merch no prints no patreon
-no other links or socials
-upload every 3rd blood moon
-one day they mysteriously vanish and never post again

and they are the best fucking artist you've ever seen

Can someone please explain to me why there are no season 1 Vander figures, Silco figures, and season 1 Viktor figures?

And young Silco and Vander figures.

Take my money, please, I need them on my shelf.

Does anyone have advice for getting first jobs in #animation or #videogames

My interest is character design, illustration, and storyboarding.

Should I add a page to my website with all my sketches, comic thumbs, and storyboarding?

Where do I apply? All I see on job sites is graphic design

I really needed this reminder now that I'm trying to get a job in art and have been struggling to navigate it.

It's not always and only you.

"if I just work hard enough, eventually I'll make it"

No. cause if you don't make it that means you didn't work hard enough. And that isn't fair to your efforts.

there are so many factors outside of your hands. So much success is luck, and failure is not always your fault. cut yourself some slack.

Is it weird to announce when #youtubevideos go live over here?

This weeks art vlog covers why I bought The Art of Arcane and honestly I'm just in love with the book!

It's one of those weeks where my art all feels like garbage. So, it's drawing goofy-looking meme cats with #crayons time. I'm embracing childlike joy tonight and no is stopping me.
