Honestly, the sooner you can unlearn jealousy and envy as reactions to others’ success, the better off you’ll be.

There are better ways to motivate yourself to succeed than hoping that your peers don’t.

This is important reading for those interested in Canadian immigration policy:

- Big cuts to housing support for asylum-seekers (to be paid by municipalities, or many more people will be homeless)
- Big cuts to medical care for asylum-seekers (to be paid by asylum-seekers)
- Much more

I would also have decided the project was cursed, tbh.

two tricks:

1) describe the image like you’re telling someone about it over the phone

2) if you can, use speech to text and it’s way faster

“oh shit I clicked astarion’s regular hide button instead of his bonus action one, now he can’t attack” if a real life dm held me to that I would stop playing at their table

the one that usually gets me is misclicking during combat

problems that would never happen in tabletop dnd

(seriously tho that sucks I’m sorry)

Controversial, but I don't think the solution to a successful convention is to continuously grow bigger and bigger. It seems every time that happens, the prices and lack of accessibility go up. We need more specific conventions to celebrate specific stuff. Less artists making EVERY fandom merch.

I think it'd be cool if we had a larger discussion on the direction of conventions in NA- how expensive they are, how little artists make back, how much artists have to put in to even get accepted- And let's not forget how ridiculous the expectations are for presentation and merchandise with tables.

QTP with women
Happy Women’s Day! 🔥😍

A traditional mixed media illustration of a young athletic East-Asian woman with a long black ponytail. She's floating against a stylized painted space backdrop with a few planets, and she's wearing an oversized jacket and oversized boots inspired by astronaut costumes. She's also wearing a backpack and holding a sub sandwich.

A traditional mixed media illustration of a black woman sitting in a bed of yellow-orange marigolds. She's depicted from the side, and a bumble bee is about to land on her hand. She has some marigolds in her hair and is wearing a black ribbed top, an orange long skirt and silvery booties.

A stylized and ornate illustration of Krystal from Star Fox Adventures, depicted in a playful pose inspired by pin-up art, drawn in blue and white on navy blue. Krystal is holding her staff and surrounded by sparkles, and has a small Arwing and a blue planet in the background.

A stylized digitally colored ink illustration of Kat and Dusty from Gravity Rush floating in a night time sky above Hekseville's skyline. There's a crescent moon and some shooting stars. The characters are drawn in a cream color on a dark gray background.

Happy International Women's Day!

very important, the smells might have changed while they were out

i really hate what instagram has become. no matter on which device when i open the site, i see barely any posts from people i follow but tons of suggestions for stupid short videos 😡👊

Also been wanting to upload older art as free to use assets but since it is fan art AND often low-res unsure where to post.

Being able to view and download without a user account feels important to me

While Bluesky does convert images to .jpg for now I will post some of them in replies to this 🧵

Photo of a purple crocus bloom with bright orange center and long spiky green leaves emerging from a blurred background of brown soil.

A bit of bright color for your day... 🌱

We thought the resident rabbit was going to keep nibbling on these but the crocus persevered! Don't let a little nibbling keep you down 😂

A pencil illustration of Hades and Persephone. The two are embracing, with Hades appearing sad and Persephone reassuring. Crocuses bloom in the foreground, and Persephone's hair is also full of blossoming crocuses; both a sign of the approaching spring, which perhaps is why Hades is sad. It's time for Persephone to return to the upper world!

I got this drawing of Hades and Persephone finished up today as well. I'll adjust the color and contrast in photoshop and get it printed on watercolor paper to start painting! 😊 (I also see a few proportional issues to fix before proceeding 🤨)

An ominous black rabbit idles in the distance behind some tufts of grass as drops of blood lead to it.

The Black Rabbit of Inlé.

Photo of a Townsend's Solitaire perched at the top of a juniper by Charles Gates. Text on the photo says "Unsolicited Bird Fact: If Townsend's Solitaires drank cocktails, their drink of choice would probably be a gin and tonic. During the winter they eat almost exclusively juniper berries. During the breeding season, solitaires move into higher elevation (or latitude) coniferous forests where they feed primarily on insects. If we knew anything we'd make a gin and name it after these elegant birds.

Did you ask for a bird fact? No, but you're getting one whether you like it or not. 🪶

I get tired of hearing this because honestly I make less than most people in my life from art so like...It could be higher.
I could eat more and live a little more....🥲

the idea that punk shouldn't be political is so completely at odds with what punk is that...yeah just fuck you? like stop cosplaying.

I remember when that album came out people saying, “they’re not punk anymore, they sound too pop,” and just being baffled about what people’s definition of punk was.

also will never not be funny that people think the band who wrote American Idiot about the fucking Iraq War is "not political."

This! This is why you should never feel ashamed to reshare your own artwork.

We're not content farms, we're people making artwork.

Our art is worth more than a scrolling glance. Share it more than once.

Anyone who gets annoyed isn't here to appreciate art, they're here for content.

Disability accommodations are a rare thing that actually trickles down. You like curb cutouts? Auto-opening doors? Jar openers? Ramps? Hand rails? YOU’RE WELCOME

Even as an abled person you use disability accommodations every single day.

Supporting accommodations actually helps everyone.

Photo of a paint leaned against a wall of Jinu from kpop demon hunters in his more traditional demon form

Traditional art is not my strong suit... but if my niece wants a KPop Demon Hunters themed birthday party, then all that's unholy with me I'll paint for her. 😤

I am a soft handed aristocrat. A pleasure seeking priest of many gods

I drink rich wines at my leisure
At my table the spices of Babylon
I can forsake all fresh, sugar and tea are heaped high at my discretion

My ancestors don't give two fucks I'm a fslur that yields no offspring.
I am teleuterios

“Peggy! We’ve been turned into pigs!”
“And just what are you trying to say about me, Hank?!”
“Dangit, Peggy, the boy’s lost his name to some kinda Got-dang yokai!”
