Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

The Verge @theverge.com · May 26

Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industry

Paul McCartne, Elton John and others signed an open letter.

This year we find the Terrifying Minty turned into a terrible Kaiju! Stomping over the city! Ignore the face inside the mouth, its totes not a costume!

Thank you for the commission!

Y'all I'm so bad at the bug game
#silksong #bugyuri

A series of illustrations depicted Hornet and Shakra from hollow knight silksong redesigned as humans with their design motifs translated into clothing and armor. The first depicts a bust of Hornet removing her mask and looking stoically at the viewer, the second depicts a fullbody Hornet dashing through the air with her various pieces of gear, the third depicts a bust of Shakra unmasked and singing, and the last depicts Hornet accepting a map from a squatting Shakra. Shakra's thought bubble reads, "I'm getting so good at this 'talking to short people' thing!" and Hornet's thought bubble reads, "She's so tall and her voice is so pretty ohmygod keep it together, Hornet- I hope she's traveling the same path as I am...".

I have seen too much fanart where Hornet is top or bottom heavy, ENOUGH! *Soulslike-ifies your Silksong*
#Hornet #Silksong

Rough concept sketch (colored) featuring Silksong’s Hornet, reimagined as a character in the Soulsborne games’ universe. Shaw!

because gpose happens in a 3D space, it's tempting to operate according to physical limitations. free yourself of that notion- the sooner you get into the mindset of 3D animation, the sooner you will realize how free you are to break anatomy in service of the shot. squash, stretch, bend- get messy!

I dont "NETWORK", I do not "keep a consistent schedule", I don't try to make my art "stand out" on people's feeds. I POST MY ART. And if it flops, I DON'T CARE.

A PayPal call center supervisor said they actually completely agree with me. They said that if enough people call PayPal they would be forced to take notice. I explained the Patreon/Itch/Steam situation and they said they're a creative themselves & that they hope the situation improves.

Transphobic TGTF creators... The kind of training you have to do for mental gymnastics like that must be insanity inducing.

So many inherent contradictions. You'd have to feel like a monster in your own skin to be doing that, and genuinely believe in bigotry at the same time. Worse than hell.

it’s too bad that the external image of trans people is just kinda sad and tragic. you should see us happy, engaged, excited . there’s nothing cuter than a trans person who’s happy about something. giggling trans people are so cute

Casual reminder to Artists to regularly brush up on your fundamentals
You never know if you've just forgotten something like proportions, doing them wrong for years and years only to learn that there's style, and then theres doing it wrong

... why yes, I did, why do you ask?

Contrary to popular belief the biggest beginner's roadblock to art isn't even technical skill it's frustration tolerance, especially in the age of social media. It hurts and the frustration is endless but you must build the frustration tolerance equivalent to a roach's capacity to survive a nuclear explosion. That's how you build on the technical skill. Throw that "won't even start because I'm afraid it won't be perfect" shit out the window. Just do it. Just start. Good luck.

i can’t imagine having confidence in literally anything i say. shit i’ve done for years i still have to append it with an “i guess”. if you ask me for art advice i’ll still finish the phrase “but you should google it for sure”

99% certain he only told me this because he was frustrated I kept saying "I know" to everything, but he told me:
"Even if you know something, you should still listen to them. You never know if you'll learn something new."
