If anyone has any sources on how to support Iranians in Iran right now, please share.

Ive seen people link the 'center for human rights in Iran' but their aid focuses on local women, children, and minorities against state violence which is not the priority right now.

If an artist isn't able to visualise their ideas on paper (or on the screen) without the use of genAI, they are not an artist.

I know some artists who aren't capable of visualising things in their head, yet they can still create stunning art. I know others who brainstorm their ideas and compositions with literal scribbles and stick figures, only to end up with a beautifully rendered piece.

There is absolutely no excuse for a self-respecting artist to use genAI at any point during their process.

Someone over on Instagram saying that genAI is bad for art, but can still be used by artists who have trouble visualising their ideas.

I had to reply.

Always love the shape language in this character. Something about the contrast in the eye shape to the hairstyle is very pleasing to look at. Also your line work is always top notch. πŸ‘Œ

You need to learn how to draw hands. If eyes are the window to one's soul, so does HANDS.

β€œDon't write or draw for money. Do it because you love it...” I mean, yeah. Obviously we enjoy doing it, otherwise we wouldn't BE doing. That said, it'd be cool being paid and supported enough to simply live as creatives, and in turn, have the freedom to create wild new things without restraint.

A digital sketch of a female character. She is seated with long hair, looking at the viewer in an elegant pose. Her hands have very long nails. The colours are monochrome of red pinkish. Her skin is more saturated.

A digital color illustration of the limited circular viewpoint of a lens centered on a surreal image: behind four columns is a stone altar with stairs leading up to it. Ritual implements are laid on the stairs and at the head of the altar is an enormous bright light radiating outward. Dancing in front of the light is a figure in a long ceremonial robe and dress spinning in place, their gaze directed at the viewer.

It's been 15 years in the making, but we're here! A huge thank you to everyone who's supported the project, and an extra-huge thank you to my partner and co-author Kate.

It’s funny if you call PayPal or visa lines and bring this up asking why they claim β€œadult illustrations” is against their regulations but betting on the death of kids is totally fine. They don’t have an answer.

In fact yall should call them at least once a day with this :)
