Hey all I'm looking for work!
I'm experienced in character design and costume for games and film as well as illustration for books and TTRPGS. I'm based out of BC Canada looking for freelance or full time. My portfolio is linked in the first comment, thank you for shares!

yes there are ai styles. obviously they are derived from an amalgamation of other artists styles but there are specific AI styles that are pretty easy to spot if you frequent pinterest

Hey all, some of you may know my comic through Hiveworks, or know of CTC’s past association with Hiveworks due to the book 1 Kickstarter. I would recommend reading through this and the personal experiences of the affected artists in the QRTs. Please show them and their webcomics some support-

Hiveworks artists have dealt with SO much over years of mismanagement, and they need your support. There's a "How You Can Help" tab of their statement that calls for supporting affected Hiveworks artists, spreading the word, and perhaps, most importantly - reducing speculation!

DSFSDF yeah I save unproductive crying about my art for private bc thats kinda ugly and people interpret it as attention seeking when really im asking to be beat up and raked over the coals for my art

honestly I feel like publicly self criticizing is such a helpful tool to teach less experienced artists what a critical eye really is but unfortunately it's always met with projection and unproductive self flagellation
