Yeah, I still use them as well. Was thinking more along the lines of a portfolio site. Not really any viable options. Glazed or not

right? I donโ€™t understand where/how people share their work. I have a personal site, but thatโ€™s awful for reaching new people

Same. Mine was hanging around, but I finally just deleted it last week. Itโ€™s a shame, really

Yeah, itโ€™s fucked. Hereโ€™s one of the tweets. And hereโ€™s the link from the auction: flippa.com/11659334-art...

I'd stay away from Artgram anyways. The founder of the site sold it back in April and has been making a bunch off super pro I/A tweets and then the site was just sold again at auction a few days ago. Super sketchy

If I had done that, I would say that it helped a lot (and say thanks!). But I definitely didnโ€™t. I wouldnโ€™t dare.

So that's why it's been happening. I thought it was due to some update or maaaaaybe something with adblockers. Most of the time I just wait, but if it refresh right away it usually just plays.

Hi Becca! I generally draw in either ink or digitally to look like ink and work in a variety of color styles (watercolor, gouache, acrylic, or digitally). Here are a few of the more humorous ones, but you can find more on my site: anthonybrooks.com and IG: instagram.com/anthonybrooksart

Inktober day 12. Donโ€™t/didnโ€™t have much time to draw today, but Iโ€™ve liked the groove that Iโ€™ve been in lately, so I wanted to do *something* for โ€œSpicyโ€.

And so I presentโ€ฆ Bob the iguana who only wants to become a dragon.

Day 11 - Wander.

Still enjoying the conceptual part of these, but also enjoying the compositions and text. Will be travelling for the next 10 days, so probably won't make as complex of sketches? Maybe?

Day 10 of #inktober is of Riches. Or so the story goes. Wanted to add some color, but I started super late (as has been the way it goes lately) and now it's already 1am. So black and white it is :)

Today's #inktober drawing. Wanted to do something more than the typical bouncing ball/person. Thought about drawing my head bouncing off of the desk, but then thought I could still do... more. So, this. Also having fun with typography on these lately :)

Another #inktober sketch. Wanted to do the monster leaning over and drooling idea, but then just thought about how overdone that is and how I donโ€™t particularly want to perpetuate that in a world where scary looking people already = bad. So instead itโ€™s a helpful giant rabbit creature.

I hate that and catch myself doing it at least 70% of the time. Itโ€™s a curse (an lol almost followed thatโ€ฆ and that.. ๐Ÿซ )

Also played a bit with layer masks and the background paper scan, but nothing that Iโ€™m too crazy about. Time to sleep now ๐Ÿฅฑ

Inktober Day 5 - โ€œMapโ€. As usual, Iโ€™m horrible with updating every social media, so Iโ€™ve just been sharing them all to IG. I like this place so far, though, so Iโ€™d like to at least try to remember to also post here.

Anyways, had a lot of fun with this one :)

Rabbit man thing eating ice cream while scaling the mountains of life. A banner overhead that says, โ€œIโ€™m Still Aliveโ€ with the text/title โ€œChasing the Dreamโ€ at the bottom.

Itโ€™s been a few years since I last did anything #Inktober related, but this year I feel like I might stick to it. Just have to get past the self-induced pressure of making everything a cool or that they all turn out great and just have fun with it.

Day 1: off to a good start :).

Some people call them a space cowboy

And another doodle, though just done in a random canvas from another person's public Magma board.

Should probably call it a day now as it's nearly 11pm.

A... blue creature in a tutu and powdered white wig (thing French aristocracy paintings) hanging from the chandelier of a Czech church while holding a rubber chicken.

The same scene as the previous image, but with a dodo on a balcony and a wolf from Romanian folklore circling the dome.

Held the biweekly art collab in my Discord server earlier and this was my end result. (the rubber chicken holding thing and the little pink cherub are my bits).

Was really nice as it was a stupid long week and doodling without caring how it turned out was really therapeutic.

Somehow my brain skipped over it as I didnโ€™t even notice it until you mentioned it ๐Ÿ˜…

All Spawn Mcfarlane Intros Season 1
Nick invite me on the show All Spawn Mcfarlane Intros Season 1

Also, some gem spent the time piecing those intros together.

Growing up in Chicago, I never actually realized there was an accent on those intros. Sounded like half of my family ๐Ÿ˜ญ.

Bigger question, why/how does he have that? Do people in Alberta and around Calgary also chew up all of their "th" sounds and add ahhh to everything?

Okay, just realized that barely made it 3 min in and was a bit too judgy prematurely. Watching now (thanks for the little push ๐Ÿ˜…)

I need to give it another shot, I think? I tried it the other night and gave up before the episode finished.

My excuse for now was that I was already super tired at the time ๐Ÿ˜ถโ€๐ŸŒซ๏ธ
