I think if you see something cool you should share it faster than seeing something bad. Not saying never do the latter, but more of the former please.

I've been drawing the steins incorrectly but I also don't know what I'm doing #art #oktoberfest

Mahayana / Vajrayana Buddhist art
I mainly referenced three different depictions of Avalokiteshvara, and it is interesting how the artists each did little variations within the same iconography (one had a very realistic animal pelt suggesting the artist's familiarity with the real thing while the others were more abstract. So I used that one especially for the pelt but a different one for the jewelry. For my mutation I added a third pair of arms and attached a vajra to the beads.

Anyway... I hope everyone had a profoundly deep Oktoberfest, and I will post the third and final dirndl tomorrow bsky.app/profile/subz...

What did not fool the bot were my dirndl drawings; one of which it described as featuring "profoundly deep cleavage," a turn of phrase I must admit elicited a smirk. Like many artists I hope to be both profound and deep in my work, though not always too deep for the machine it seems

Other than that it gives excessively long, praise-filled, validating descriptions that it hopes you will become dependent on.

I do agree that it is a good costume design however, all the more so because it fooled the bot

I asked the bot on xwitter to describe this image and apparently Lain's head is convincingly furbish because the bot tells me there are three Furbies on the staff and two chained to the body for a total of five.

That is a pretty spiteful thing to do, write about modernization movements in the Ottoman empire using the pre-reformed Turkish register full of loanwords.

I am big fan of doing alternate crops now:

(1) I have no idea which thumbnail will do better
(2) I get to zoom in on details which offsets the compression done to the full picture
(3) Can turn one piece into multiple days' worth of posts
(4) I am not sure if you saw it the other day!

Today's advice: draw as much of the hand zoomed out as possible, especially the thumb and index finger.

subzerofrog @subzerofrog.bsky.social · 4d

Today's advice:

There is a circuit.
(1) Study some component of illustration you find difficult.
(2) Get better at drawing it.
(3) Derive satisfaction from doing it well.

e.g. hands, clothing

Today's advice: Your art's not bad, you're just doing it at the end of a ten-hour day. It's like one of those Shaggy power level memes.

Seriously though draw in the morning if and when you can.
