But don't hand out any data under any circumstances. Better to pay a VPN (ie Mullvad) than to hand your data to any third parties that claim to be verification services. Yes, if there is a data breach (there WILL be data braches) I do NOT trust my face or passport data to be in those databases.

It's best not to panic or close down. Wait and see. There are a lot of countries that have long suffered internet censorship and they've been bypassing it for so long using VPNs. But it hit me like a brick that the DSA thing took place in Europe as I was entirely unaware of it myself.

I used to play Pikmin Bloom just to get the inbuilt pedometer... The little guys were an added bonus lol

Also while I'm just addressing the discoverability of adult oriented art... Think of the ramifications. It's authoritarian at the very core. From personal data to full censorship - "anything we don't like". LGBTQ+ media, controlling the news, all wrapped into a neat "think of the children" package.

I still browse fandom Twitter and I'm literally barred from seeing/interacting with some of my favorite art. There's a paywall on that now. I'm used to handing over my ID, but what does this mean for sites in the future that don't have the backend and resources to comply?

Being european and feeling like the segregation of the internet is in full swing. I know VPNs exist, but kinda hitting me with a certain sensation of doom knowing censorship is encroaching. It's the slow death of freedom of expression and the discoverability of art.

Art Fight An art gifting game

Sorry I'm late gahh h 😭 but it's artfight.net/~horsehorse

That idea quickly fell into the toilet when July happened to the hottest month of the year with nothing but a fan blowing hot air at me xD Maybe I can still crank out a few late this week

Also junior positions? Junior who? 10+ years senior only >_> There's just no entry anymore at all for anyone

My favorite part about this is people go "ok if it's so hard then maybe seek a different job" but this is a widespread epidemic in any media industry. I tried to move from art back to web (frontend) dev and they all want a full stack developer able to program in anything, do backend, shit gold etc

Make sure they all get attention, someone might get jealous <3

Thank you!

Die Wacom Stifte von der Generation (16, 22+) sind so stark verschweißt dass man sie nicht mehr öffnen und reparieren kann 😭 Das ging noch zuvor mit den alten

Und JA! 100%, es ist zwar bissle gewöhnungsbedürftig Anfangs (1-2mm Parallax von zw Stift und Glas) aber ich merk den Unterschied nicht mehr

Ughhh das tut mir leid. Ich habe selber kein Einkommen deswegen war damals für mich dauernd neue Stifte kaufen ein Albtraum :c Ich habs nur mit Commissions zusammenkratzen können. Leider habe ich keine funktionierenden Stifte mehr (alle das selbe Problem) sonst würd ich dir einen spendieren DX

My wacom pens would always lose pressure over time and then the pressure would get "spotty" just like on the picture you posted. Sadly there's no fix but to buy a new pen. They just wear out over time and tend to do this.

Hey, I had the same generation of wacom cintiq as you (before switching to xp pen) and I burnt through 4 pens. If this happens randomly (not on the same spot) and if this isn't fixed by driver reinstallation then it's just the pen going bad. I always had spare pens because this kept happening

I made an art fight profile... MY FIRST TIME!!! I still need to make a card so I'll post that later, but I'm debating not uploading any characters cuz getting things makes me too nervous. Please leave your profile in the comments, just in case ❤️ I draw monsters, humanoids, anthros, blobs, anything

Thank you! The collar is absolutely essential, he's really proud of that one

He's just a silly lil guy

Sorry for the reupload, I could only share the watermarked versions. Sorry! But heres a repost of the BGS I did for the game flight rising

Hewn City lair banner for Flight Rising!

No kidding if I weren't a Lightning lair for the past decade, I might have switched to Light just to use this one for myself

Haha, thank you! I'm not from Vienna though!... I live at the Slovenian border far south 😂

Rough concepts for a darker version of Bambi: A Life in the Woods

Awww, thank you!!! You drew him well!
I can assure you he's not particularly threatening...! He's the average passive nice guy, but he does get roped into things by the people he's surrounded with 😂

Thank you!! Aw noooooo, not the poor thing 😭 It's most likely not even edible hahaha

how MEAN

He KNOWS but he's also being a jerk </3
