Dear artist community, please leave behind that toxic Twitter mentality that big artists can't complain about the state of the art industry or barely winning money because "they have a lot of followers"
Followers are just that, followers, a lot of likes don't guarantee money to live with dignity

First official look at the live-action ‘Legend of Zelda’ movie ⚔️

In theaters May 7, 2027

Another friendly reminder: No artist EVER would say “reach out” and post a discord link in their comments. No artist would ever give you a discord link in DMs as their very first interaction. No artist would tell you they “can’t talk here please add on discord” before anything else was discussed.

i had a giveaway on twitter and @thechaosspirit.bsky.social won

I don't know who needs to hear this right now, but to any indie devs feeling bad because their game didn't sell or wasn't played as much as you wanted:

You still made a god damn video game. You did it, and that's harder than anything most people will do. I'm proud of you, you did great.

Twitter has a "regurgitate this art with AI button".

Maybe… maybe the remaining artists will come over now…

Forgot to post this!
A piece I did for @crabbng.kingsofsorts.com for a secret santa event in Screen Tones! From their comic, Kings of Sorts

The takeover of Twitter was a preview of what we're all living with now and a stark example of why you can't let any one person have too much money: they go insane and make themselves everybody's problem

it's good that bluesky is getting bigger!
but it's a bit upset that the it's bigger, it means trolls and toxic people are also moving to this place more too.

📢 Bluesky 1.97 is rolling out now!

• User profile pages now include a "Video" tab!

• Updated translations

MY new start posting here, I'm using this acct as personal acct, I may reposts a lot, I hope I can do posting more.

"Things might be tough but it's great for artists! They'll create more!" You might not believe me but going through a lifetime's worth of stress Every Single Week for years and years- is actually not the optimal set of circumstances that inspires artists to create

Please go block and report this person who is impersonating me and stealing my artwork ⚠️‼️ Nobody has permission to post my artwork!

You're not going to be able to draw everything perfectly in your comic, ur gonna have weird looking cars or buildings, or hands- And i want you to know that's fine
Readers spend seconds per panel- as long as things are clear narratively, keep going! Dont get stuck on making every panel a masterpiece
