I’m off this platform for a while - despite this place has no algorithm, I find myself to be doomscrolling a lot. On top of that, I have a thumb that needs healing so drawing is harder.
I need resting and focus.
Prob going to focus on writing stories that I will use for my art in the future.

if youre in the EU, you need to contact your MEPs NOW to oppose chat control!

you can wag your fingers all you want at USian politics but this shit is at your doorstep too

In a perfect world I would tell people to consider getting Clip Studio EX for animations. But then rememeber EX is one of the worst deals in art.

Imagine having to pay 4 times than regular CSP just to get a couple extra features. And then perpetually needing to pay 4 times as much for upgrades.

Just the more reason to not back down to do what’s good: opposing injustice and helping others, no matter how small those efforts you’re able to do those.

No doubt Earthbound is very influantial, to me it’s also the only turnbased RPG series that I finished till the end. Mother 3 is the only one left to be played.

“Oh it’s just a doodle.”

Working in the book industry in Japan, I’m struck by how people accept the insane practice of “weekly manga serialization” which erodes creators’ health as if it were perfectly normal. It’s terrifying.

Can you satisfy her?

Thinking of doing live art streams @piczel.tv - no experience whatsoever, but want to do it for a while now.

No idea if viewers are interested in doodles and studies. Don’t see them being done so far. All I see is finishing illustration and comic pages. Sometimes writing.

Get well soon!

You either want to be great, or terrible.

The worst thing you can be is boring.

'Social Permission' nevermore! Cry harder.

If you make your artwork at least twice the size it needs to be when printed/reproduced, shrinking it will tighten your details and lines and make everything so much better. Not to mention its easier work in details with a bigger canvas.

This works both digitally and traditionally.

Dunno if I've posted this here before, but wanted to show this old silly comic I did of @tabuley.bsky.social 's characters.

This is from a man who would ask his neighbors to pose in costumes for the purpose of making his own references....

love this part

[OC] I was invited for a level 17 dnd one shot but it got cancelled. Fortunately I had time to design this eldritch queen even if she didn't get played.

A Tiefling aberrtant mind sorceress, she became the leader of a cult to a great old one and now has them do good deeds from their scary castle. 🧿

I enjoyed Yuu Yuu Hakusho much more when it started as a school drama with ghost story plot. After that it became a typical shonen which is not my kind of genre.

My reliance on clip is what keeps me from taking the plunge proper

This year I strongly recommend picking up a hobby in which you make something, that you don't intend to profit from in any way (monetary value OR social standing,) if you don't already have one.

Creating something your own for the sake of creating alone is a uniquely worthwhile experience.

slightly diminish a game.

Quack

I got off track when writing the above post. Sorry about that!

Will look into software that limits my internet browsing soon.

I'm content making pen doodles that don't get anywhere for now.

I avoid these reels like the plague, but scrolling and clicking in general is a problem!

Sometimes I just want to quit the whole 'being on the internet' because of this. It's not just the algorithms, It's just wanting more and more information to be satisfied with which I won't be.

You have to get really freaky about something. Like, obsessed, self indulgent, and watch how your art flourishes when you draw what the deepest, darkest brainworm wants, rather than what's 'pretty' or 'popular'.

Get weird with it!!

Do not stop drawing for yourself. Because once you get a taste of social media interactions with your art It's hard to pull away from that. Don't draw what you think people wanna see, draw what YOU WANNA DRAW.

There are many tutorials to drawing specific things but I think training your eyes in general is more important!

your eyes are a huge part of your art - and i think master copies are a very good way to train them vs what your hands can currently do!

set your canvas color to something other than #ffffff pure white. it'll save you a bit of eyestrain
