I see some new followers here so a little PSA:
1.) I don't do bigots
2.) I don't like being "thanked" for including Black and other POC characters in MY art..."Why not?".
3.) Yes I am bald so no bald jokes guys!๐Ÿซต๐Ÿผ
4.) I DO talk about racism and inequality in the art space.
5.) I am an adult so ๐Ÿ”ž

I feel like it's something that takes a lot of foresight. I wasn't following them personally ever, but because I've seen this many times before I think the signs kinda show just on their profile. However, she was only REALLY posting crap on X.

I DARE SAY that I think I'm really good at linework. I used to not think too much about it BUTTT I dare say I like my lines and I spend the most time on developing that skill. โœ๏ธ๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ–ค

Next to her is a grape vine with grapes falling and leaves around her, with a warm light above. Sheโ€™s assumed to be a Goddess of Grape Vines

Garrett likes to stretch his one paw out as if to claim his spot ๐Ÿ˜‚
He's gotten used to kneading unlike before when he first got here and he would make "sky biscuits" โค๏ธ

Celeste, my oc is pictured in a quick sketch illustration. She is a purple alien woman with 3 eyes, 4 arms, and long purple to orchid gradient wavy hair. The background of Etherea has waterfalls for clouds and a bright, colorful palette. The art's ocean is a vivid teal. She is wearing a strappy black bikini top with cleavage out and a unique 3 eye pair of pink star sunglasses. Her hair is in her hands being pulled back. She is wearing a bright pink star earring complimenting her vivid palette. Her newly updated design gives her bright blue freckles and neon blue arms covered in clouds and stars, with a double teal hoop ear piercing.

Digital art painting done in Procreate on an iPad Pro of my original character Celeste. She's a purple alien woman with 3 blue eyes, pink eyeliner, and 4 arms poses in front of a fantasy space ocean. The water is bright, neon teal, and the sky is pink and purple. Her hair cascades past her thighs, dark purple at her roots transitioning to a vivid orchid by her thighs. She's wearing a black swimsuit with glowing blue star-shaped accents in the negative space over her skin sort of like futuristic fishnet. Her newly updated design gives her bright blue freckles and neon blue arms covered in clouds and stars, with a double teal hoop ear piercing.

YEAH...and RIGHT AFTER and DURING the backlash she is getting in her comment sections. She only uses that character as a scapegoat.
She knows what she's doing and she'll go back to default settings when she's done parading her only Black OC around.

I feel like she's more of a grifter, especially considering how she only draws her black character after being called out over this.

I feel kinda weird because I kinda need to make some income off my art and it feels weird to promote it while everyone is struggling and I still have to make art. ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ’€

Yeah and no amount of "stress management" is doing a thing. I try to get rest though but I also can't afford it at the same time.
