Autism Isnโ€™t To Blame For Bad Behavior | The Nib Autism is a developmental disability, not an attitude or personality.

Since more and more instances are popping up of terrible men using autism as a scapegoat for their behavior, Iโ€™d like to link an article I made for the Nib in 2018. I hate that its continued to be relevant today thenib.com/james-damore...

I mean, if I am being honest part of this is I just sometimes am in sketch and concpet mode, not "create a masterpiece" mode so :'>

I also have eyesight issues XD

This makes a lot more sense! That explains how you got those deeper colors in there.

My brain was trying to compute how the hell you did that so smoothly, so it's nice to know someone's process a little bit

Oooh COLORFUL

Was the micron pen (assumedly) done over the gouache or whatever was used? Or was that part digitalized?

I struggle to get those pens to do this ๐Ÿ˜…

I also get this. Apparently they had a lawsuit, too, so maybe the artistd distanced from the game??

I didn't know if this game, but I'm kinda weirdly good at finding stuff online.

I will do some more digging around! Could find something.

Maybe if you found out who the devs were and snooped on old DA or Art Station you could find it?

I think that's also a good bet.

This friend named this cat Dobby much before the things came out about J K R

She has since told me in detail how she regrets her decision, and is frustrated to hear what came about.

Hope this clears that up!

Also, this friend is very supportive of gender diverse folks such as myself so yippeee

A  extremely cartoony stylized painting of a friend's cat!

The curious cat has a red nose, with an orange snout, yellow tan chin, orange spots around the green eyes, pink head, with green stripes on the forehead. 

The ears of the cat are pink, orange, and slightly yellow. 

The cat wears a sparkly blue collar with a magenta tag on it. 

The tail is also magenta, and curls off to the left side of the painting.

The cat has big green eyes, with yellow in them.

There are white spots here and there to highlight the reflection of fur, and the lineart is done in a dotted-line type of pattern to signify fur, whiskers, and texture. 

The background is cyan blue with glitter in it. 

To the bottom right is the signature "RJ".

A canvas surrounded by bright green masking tape 

The canvas has a cyan and dark blue background, with lots and lots of large overlapping brush strokes in light and dark shades that cross cross each other diagnonally.

The center of the canvas features the faint sketch outline of an outstretched hand made out of white charcoal pencil.

The same piece from before, but the hand is now almost completely done (save the thumb) in warm hues of gold along the creases in the hand, with light brown highlights, and dark brown and even black areas in spots to add depth and life. 

The hand is still outstretched and in a dark and light blue pattern

This is the completed work. 

The background surrounding the hand is a vibrant green color in an almost mist type texture.

The edges of the hand are yellow, which create a magical almost glowing effect around the hand.

The hand is that of someone who is black, with red, orange, gold, and brown hues.

There are some white highlights on the hand to better outline their fingers, palm, and the wrist of their hand.

Haven't posted in a bit, butttt, I did this piece recently while feeling a lot of feels?

All I know is this: the green represents vitality, creativity, and life, flowing through the hands of the subject. :>

Inspired by a ton of furry art I saw floating around of more alternative-looking characters.

A thickly lined drawing of an anthropomorphic saber cat. The cat has Periwinkle fur, with neon blue zig-zag stripes on the side of it's face. The saber teeth are long and jut down rather than up (which makes it look more walrus than cat like). The ears are big and fluffy, with neon blue in the center. The hair is long and messy, with messy bangs. The hair is a gradient red, pink, and orange color. The saber-cat anthro wears glasses with a rainbow tint to them. The character has a slightly smug look, like it just got told a slightly stupid joke.
