Hang in there, struggling artists

I feel like once I'm ready to open up about my struggles, I want to write a comic about it because art is honestly the best format in which to express the nature of it

I will be aiming over the next few days to really beef out uploading my backlog of art so get ready 🙌💜

I've applied for Dee Con, Power Comic Con and I'm paid up for Sunnycon next year

Good golly miss molly, I am ready for that convention comeback and tbh, with my personal life being a bit doodoo at the moment, a gap year from tabling is a blessing in disguise

I'm absolutely disappointed with this
Set an example by following the same rules you're implementing

pretty shameful that after supposedly implementing anti AI policies for vendors, fan frontier seems to be using AI in their own imagery. Would be interested to know if the artist commissioned to design these mascots is aware their client has done this!

screenshot from a site called "was it AI" that aims to check the likelihood an image was made using genAI. an image from the fan frontier website (a landscape with distant mountains, flowering cherry trees, and two cartoon mascots in the foreground) has been run through it, and the site shows that "we are quite confident that this image, or significant part of it, was created by AI.

So my earliest case of self/OC shipping was when I was 12
I created a fictional rival all-girl band for Gorillaz called The Alien Humanoids and 3 of them dated the guys

I absolutely will post any art of them if I come across it!!
You all deserve to see the adolescent cringe 💜😭

"Butch Hartman's AI Animated Crucifixion of Jesus Fanart" is not something I expected to see when I went back to twitter for the first time in months, but sure enough...there it was.

I missed it by a day but omg, happy 30th anniversary to one of the best survival horror games to come from the SNES

I'm a huge fan of Clock Tower so I will definitely be streaming it through October on @minavirtua.bsky.social

Enjoy my Jennifer art from 2019 💜

#clocktower #stardustsquidart #fanart

Fan art of Jennifer from the game Clock Tower, a girl with long black hair, a white blouse and dark blue pinafore looking frightened with her hand on her chin. A pair of bloody scissors or hedge trimming shears are in the foreground covering the bottom part of her body which is not drawn for artistic purposes.

You may have noticed the PFP change, so here's the full art!

Katt did a wonderful job with this as always, the posing is just, wonderful, immaculate. 💙

You should go give Katt a follow 👀
Well worth it!

The idea of releasing my game and it getting an article written about it comparing it to a mix of 2 media properties a la "X meets Y" gives me the fear

Whether or not there's obvious inspirations and influences, I feel legally inclined to spray anyone who does that with the naughty water bottle

Luna🌛 - Sleepy Selfship Artist @stardustsquid.bsky.social · Aug 5

I'm still absolutely upset about this tho so I'm tryna cope

Luna🌛 - Sleepy Selfship Artist @stardustsquid.bsky.social · Aug 5

It's the same way that Roseanne is my comfort show but I know and agree that she's a shitty person
Plus she never got any money from me torrenting the series

I would like to state that yes I've seen the thing about Hugh Laurie in the cast of the HP audiobook and I'm disappointed and don't endorse it but I was only into the character of House so I'm not stopping the Laineyposting whenever it stops being dormant

I'm disappointed in myself for failing Artfight again this year 😭

Luna🌛 - Sleepy Selfship Artist @stardustsquid.bsky.social · Jul 28

Literally I love comments on my art because I love knowing that people enjoy my stuff so please don't be afraid to comment, my art and my OCs especially mean a lot to me!! 💜😭

Luthien Nightwolf @luthiennightwolf.bsky.social · Jul 22

This is a PSA for anyone who follows artists: Your comments are NOT annoying! I think I speak for many of us we are starved for praise on our work so please if you have something to say lay it on thick WE LIKE IT. I promise you it is not seen as cringe or a bother, we love the interaction!

This is me because I had too many things happening this month and art deadlines too 😭😭😭

Luna🌛 - Sleepy Selfship Artist @stardustsquid.bsky.social · Jul 28

I have failed everyone this year again, if I can manage at least a couple it'll be great but this month went by too fast

artfight ends this week im #sorry to everyone i havent made a revenge or attack for yet...

Luna🌛 - Sleepy Selfship Artist @stardustsquid.bsky.social · Jul 28

Crossposting here but I took a big jump here months ago and it feels miles better being on a platform where there's no algorithm
Like even if my stuff is rarely seen, I'd rather have that than people I can't ever really block

Mina Virtua 💾🐻 (Digi Desktop Buddy VStreamer) @minavirtua.bsky.social · Jul 28

Honestly glad I got rid of my Twitter ages ago tbh
I just don't personally see the point or benefit of staying on a sinking ship that has a new problem every week when it's not the extreme bigotry problem

Found my old Vinebooru art from like 2014/15 and this was one of many that got featured on Joel's Alien Isolation stream that he loved

#stardustsquidart #vinesauce #vargskelethor #alien #joel

A three panel comic with a long haired man sweating with a stoic expression in the first panel as he presses an elevator button. The second panel shows a Xenomorph running for the elevator with an outstretched arm saying "hey man hold the door" and the third panel shows the doors closing as the man in the elevator holds up two middle fingers with the same stoic expression on his face.
