That charm looks legit amazing! Love the handwritten font too - if I wasn't such a horrendous extrovert I'd buy one

Photo of a hand holding up a rectangular clear acrylic charm with scalloped edges and a cute pink heart on it. The heart is smiling and sweating and below it says “social anxiety club” in blue hand lettering. It has a gold clasp in the shape of a star.

Going to be real for a min, I haven’t sold a single one of these new charms yet. 😓 Not saying this to get sympathy sales (tho I wouldn’t mind haha) just want to share that even if you see a lot of likes on shop posts, it doesn’t always translate to sales! It’s tough to take a chance on new products!

the only good thing to come from my Apex Legends addiction ♥

Years ago, a random teammate in the popular video game "Apex Legends" told me in a heavy French accent...

"STAY FOCUSED"

I think about it all the time. Not just in relation to Apex Legends - but in every aspect of life! I wonder what that guy is doing now. I wonder how focused they are?

Compy really is a great guy huh? They've just got it going on! They let you chat to your friends on the other side of the planet. They let you play silly games and draw silly pictures. They really are the goat 🖥️👾🥹✨

Nice truck content Glen ✨😍

Keep drawing - you're super talented, everything takes time AAAAND remember why we draw in the first place: because it's SUPER fun 😤⚠️🥹🚨📈

Hello!! I don't really promote my freelance stuff BUUUT if you need help with any motion graphic design then I know a guy!! (It's me)

This was a fun little animation to work on in my free time using! Really looking forward to making more little animations like this.

So daft - if you ever get given the options they just gave me BUT you have to add on an additional charge for an AI assistant... just ask them to give you the heavily discounted option but without the daft AI - and they just say yes that's fine and take it off.... RIDICULOUUUSSSS

I'm legit fighting for my life against the poor guy/robot trying to work out a new subscription charge. I'm getting it back to where it used to be BUT they're trying to charge me an extra monthly charge ON TOP of the reduced one... to add an AI assistant to Acrobat..... HUH?!?!?

"...er...well...actually, if you review our terms of service, you've signed up for a year long contract with us 🤓 and if you cancel before your year long subscription is over 🤓 we'll have to charge you for it 🤓 🤓 🤓"

I just went in to try and sort out/reduce my adobe monthly fee - and I cannot believe that they still are doing this daft nonsense.

You ever go to send gifs to your mates and someone has superimposed their face onto say someone like Michael Scott bowing.... WHO THE FUCK DOES THIS?!

Viewer count is down but audience retention is through the roof. Also starting my streams at 5am GMT.

You think when I turned off the camera this kind of behavior would stop Glen? This is 24/7, 7 days a week. Full time reprobate.

How do I add you? Trying to get this thing to load up Mario Kart but this keeps happening

She looking to hire any additional creatives?

Fellow creatives, where are you finding the most work at the moment?

Anyway, hope you enjoyed that. I just turned 40 the other day. I remember being in my early 20s and joking to some guy who turned 35 that he was"halfway there". He didn't appreciate that. Good times.

I don't feel bad about it. I've done this before. I'm a dad of 3, I have a lot on my plate. It's fine. It's all fine. Just make stuff because you want to. Who even cares 🤣🤝🙂‍↔️

For additional context, I have been sketching for 2 days in a row after taking months?? years??? off from sketching regularly - I just lost the mojo. AI. Life. Responsibilities. Nightreign.

2 month absence and this is the reason I return.

You make playlists to make love to. I make playlists to sketch to. We are not the same.

Product cover that says "Matts Messy Brush Pack, includes 4 messy custom brushes for procreate + 12 texture asset files" accompanied by a messy textured line background in dark grey/black with a long mushroom character illustration using these my digital brushes to accompany the dark background, the link to download and play with these brushes for free can be found in this thread or via the link in my bio :)) #procreate #procreatebrushes #digitalbushes #brushes #digitalart #artassets #arttools #drawing #illustration

a simple example of these brushes in action - 3 different mushroom characters drawn loosely using all of the included brushes in this messy brush pack! there's a lot of textural grit and noise as the grain of the brushes are experimental texture assets applied to the brush stamps - technical art stuff that's less exciting but all of their designs make for really fun analog mimicry and has a traditional feel :)

this image says: "Texture Assets - using these custom messy brushes I've generated some messy texture asset files that can be used to add some natural *grit* to your work - clip mask these files to simple fill layers, mess around with layer filters, opacity and adjustment layers to incorporate subtle texture into your artworks. I've been creating and using my own texture assets for the past few years, most of my artistic practice is focused on experimenting and being playful - creating my own tools makes it easier for me to make art, it's generally good practice. there's an example of how these texture assets can add some subtle detail in the next photo!" there are some expressive and abstract textures that emulate physical mediums like ink, watercolor, pencil and some digital printing techniques like halftones that can be applied as filters over simple digital art layers to add more textural interest, this image includes 3 more simple examples of mushroom characters incorporating some of my textures!!

simple example showing my methodical process, of inserting texture assets to my artwork: "insert texture asset > clipping mask it to a solid base fill layer > play with the layer filters and opacity" you can see a small character that has some grunge and grit throughout their design, all applied in a few clicks and feels as though I've painted texture intentionally by hand - is it lazy? maybe but I made these textures so I'm happy with the results haha

haló there friends!! in my spare time I've been making custom brushes for procreate - this pack includes 4 custom messy brushes and 12 texture assets which are all free to download and play with!!

you can find them over on my Gumroad storefront - linked below/in my bio ༘⋆

Why are tech companies boosting the "art" capabilities of AI and not the "chat gpt cancer specialist" model?
