Watched an awesome Inking tutorial by Mike Manley on Pencil to Pencil, which inspired me to stretch and try inking an artist I've always loved, who has a very different style from my own. In this case, the ever amazing Denys Cowan.

Five minutes before bed, a loose scrap of paper flutters into my hands, and I arrive at a #toon #Meowth design that I think has some promise. It never fails. πŸ˜…
(Hmmmm ... Alolan form! πŸ€”)

A monochrome marker sketch of my OC Ashton (human), leaning back and looking over his shoulder at the viewer, with one had tucked in his pocket and the other holding a clove cigarette. His medium length curly hair droops low over his face, obscuring his other eye. His pants are embroidered with ants.

I don't have much reason for my absence beyond...not having much worthy to share, haha. Hope these scribbles can tide you over.

This all began with a concerned mutual reaching out to me, stating that they saw a notification that pointed at me using the Meta AI app and asking if my stance on generative AI had changed.
That’s when I learnt that Meta has been quietly using random people’s accounts to promote their app. The catch is… these people never actually downloaded the app. Including myself.

I just wanted to make this post to warn people. If you see a notification like that - know that it’s a lie, I never downloaded any AI app and never will. I’m an artist who values hard work and human effort, and generative AI repulses me to an unimaginable degree.

If you follow me on Instagram and you receive a notification about me joining or downloading Meta AI well, IT'S A FUCKING LIE. Meta is blatantly lying to us in order to make us download that fucking sludge-generator. I would never touch GenAI with a 10 foot pole.

Newsome is making a center push, throwing a marginalized group under the bus because he believes it will earn him the presidential nom.

The Dem party needs leaders with conviction who will stand up to fascists, not empty suits who sell out for political ambitions.

There is something truly special about blue dragons. They are extraordinarily beautiful and deeply mystical - so of course, a dragon in this enchanting shade simply had to find its place in my bestiary πŸ’™
