trans kids should have access to healthcare. same as cis kids. ANYTHING that their parents and doctors think would have a positive impact. Not complicated.

I finally finished this silly animation sketch.

The Tidebay city still has old houses that aren't adapted to all of the sharkfolk's heights, which means Roberto's clumsiness has some consequences! 💫

Attack on Weathertop.
Frodo attempts, and fails, to resist the Ring as the Nazgul close in. I love finding atypical moments like this to illustrate!

"concept artists can experiment with AI to make their lives easi-"

wrong

I smack you with Claire Hummel's immaculate and detailed understanding of costume design, which she got by studying historical references, which made her strong, which you will not become by relying on AI

concept artists weave reference, perspective and narrative into tangible design - as I look at concept art I ask "what were these artists thinking?" the process of making itself, is a pursuit of understanding, a process genAI will ever be able to imitate - fuck genAI and anyone that uses it ༘⋆

ICE had been ramping up operations in Minneapolis.
No one is illegal! We need to abolish ICE and stop instilling terror and racist violence in our communities.
Proud of everyone who is protesting and standing up to the masked thugs masquerading as enforcement officers of an authoritarian state.

Added in the shiny reflections and he is pretty much done. I'd like to touch up certain areas after resting for a bit, but I may as well show him off early.

This is "Regal", a male Australian blue swimmer crab that took nearly 250 hours to paint, spanning over 3 years

No one “deserves” to starve or be denied healthcare.

The richest country in the world can easily provide for all, and people shouldn’t have to prove they matter to be fed, housed & cared for.

It’s past time for a universal basic income, universal healthcare, affordable housing & food.
