All hand drawn in Clip Studio Paint, drawn by me a mortal human and not some machine garble attempt at life we call "AI art". Could a robot with depression make THIS?? I THINK NOT. Don't waste time on AI for memes and photo edits, grab a friend, grab an art program, fck it, yall ever finger painted before? messy but carnal beastly existence of making art, it's fun~

Here is a fun funky digital doodle graphic design of a green and purple checker board pattern background, hovering is a rainbow glowing cartoon ghost flipping off and saying "fuck AI, support living artists".

The fuck AI text is like old style shiny bubble text of the 80s and the rest of the sentence is in glowing flat scratchy typography

wtf is that, a retro game with ocs???wtf is that, a retro game with ocs???

a pixel art of two characters - Maksym and Mark, shown to their waist, both have light skin. Maksym is holding a conductor, that is a pen-like device that creates a shiny blue stream of light, Maksym is looking at it with a doubt. He has swept-back dark-brown hair with an M-shaped tuft on the back of his head, blue eyes with hypnotic circles and white outfit with assymetric sides, black printing on his sleeves, shoulders and chest, forming an M-shaped figure, also he wears a red shirt with blue round brooche instead of tie.

Mark is looking serious with his hands formed into fists, covered in biotechnological armed gloves which look like mighty reptile paws. Mark has more rectangular face, light-brown straight hair cut to his neck and green eyes in shiny glasses. He wears a black police uniform made of leather, and green edging of the collar and sides. There are a bunch of belts on his jacket. End ID

extra tags: original characters, retro aestetics, old videogames aestetics, sci-fi art

I've been feeling inspired from seeing so many friends and so much art at Brassworks last Saturday!

Here's another painting in my small solo show:

Incurable Optimist
mixed media on canvas
12 x 12"
#art #painting #OriginalArt #ArtSky #BskyArtists #PDXArt #artist #PortlandArt #painter #WeirdArt

Painting of an abstract character in shades of pink and gold on a black background. The character is wide, with small cat-like ears, a wide messy smile, and arms of different sizes.

@shroudedunderworld.bsky.social

I'm not sure if anyone's gonna see/respond to this, but I wanted to ask some artists:

Which tablet do you have/would you recommend?

I'd like to get myself a good quality one that will last but I'm having trouble deciding so I'd love some suggestions! Thank you!
