If you're an artist coming over from Twitter because of this bullshit they added, first of all:

Really genuinely sorry they fucked you like this & I think it's extremely reasonable to be crashing out HARD right now

Second: I'm gonna offer Bluesky tips and encourage ppl to share starter packs here

Man its like just so invasive and gross feeling to see "Edit Image" appear over other people's images. Musk decided to give us the only kind of gift he can for christmas, sickening disappointment. Best of luck out there folks.

tobey(peter parker) from spidersman looking at the edit image button but then puts on glasses to see the text actually says fuck artists. Though technically it should be the other way around because spidersman can see better without glasses now if youve seen the movie you'd know that. Also sam raimi ripped off his spidersman movie idea from james cameron, justice for big jim

A giant candy cane worm monster bursts from the snowy ground. A snowman with a wizard hat and staff prepares to throw a fire spell at the creature.

🌊The Angler's Bride🌊

My heart is a sunken altar. There, I thrive. There, I keep a ledger of bones. The deep remembers what the surface forgets.

A sea siren sits above a pile of bones with schools of fish, bones, and a giant angler fish around her.

Four panel comic.

1:
A “fairy” is flying toward Keezy while she’s drawing, it says “Hey listen!” like Navi the fairy from Ocarina of Time.

2:
Keezy looks at the fairy

3:
Closeup as Keezy narrows her eyes suspiciously

4:
Closeup of the fairy. It is not a glowing fairy. It is a fruit fly with a lantern.

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

I'm begging any artists still using Twitter claiming it's integral to their work to just leave. It's been revealed the site works off a made up "credit score" from hell and punishes you for posting like a normal human being.

Abandon Twitter for good. It's time. It's been time.

A quoted tweet from a user named Sam that reads: "How Twitter is rigged
Type in all caps because you're excited? Lowers your reputation. Include links? Your score goes down. It's like the Credit Score system from Hell.
And given Cisgender is treated as a slur & MAGA boosted, you can guess what's categorized as 'offensive'"

The tweet they quoted is from user SADIQ and reads:
"Tweepcred is X's reputation system
Based on your behavior, you get a tweepcred score
It determines your reach
Break the algo rules, you score goes down and your reach disappears
What are the rules of the X algo tho? Glad you asked."

SADIQ includes a photo of Twitter's algorithm code that calculates a user's reputation.

SADIQ continues:
"Post 'offensive text'? 80% reach reduction
Offensive username? 80% reach reduction
All caps tweet? That's seen as 'shouting. Major penalization.
Include links? Yup, penalized"
