Seeing my older pieces is always a little jarring because I know they're mine, they're in my gallery, but because of my epilepsy issues I do NOT remember working on them 💀 it's made drawing again really daunting but it's like riding a bike. Back in the saddle, etc :3

Since y'all enjoyed that last fat Legendary Godzilla I sketched, here's a throwback to a piece I did 7 (GEEZ) years ago of Mothra feeding her King honey~

Godzilla ate a special exponential radiation weapon, and well... it's filling him up! He needs to expel it, but he knows those dastardly humans don't appreciate his destructive atomic breath. Despite this, he's still their problem! Beached kaiju in paradise x3

Astyr decided to play with her tome in a busy plaza... now she's the town's impromptu taur balloon float! Sketch done for Artherion ^_^

I have messed with generative AI art when it was first getting "good" (experimentally, and never with the intention of using it in my creative process) and it genuinely cemented in me that nothing can create what my mind's eye is seeing better than myself. It creates a product, not a piece of art.

I said a similar thing on the other cursed app but; it's never too late to start drawing. Your creations will be unique in a way that no AI can actually replicate. Your ideas are worth putting on a canvas or in writing. You are the engine!

Sorry this might be weird to post but I got pure euphoria realizing my clients ideas this week. Everyone I've interacted with art creation is so creative and fun, and making that into a visual piece is a treat. I can't imagine GenAI replicating that experience in a meaningful way.

Even if it wasn't ravaging the environment, it makes something that it THINKS looks good. Even with human input, it doesn't capture the essence of the artist using it. My experience was seeing it warp my concepts and make it something I hadn't imagined at all, and not in a positive way.

Sometimes I think about the actual physics and dimensions of my larger macro pieces and it's funny to think about Khan inhaling something that's 200k miles away and having to wait for it to drift closer and closer for hours. xD TORMENT WAITING FOR FOOD

Khan is conquering more than the Earth- the moon is his next target! After inhaling most of the atmosphere, the delicious shiny rock in the distance had to be his next meal. He's so inflated he's see-through 😳 Sketch done for @kaijudrake.bsky.social

I honestly don't know what to do. I'm currently overdrawn $150 because a bill didn't process until this morning and I don't get my paycheck until Friday. I'm thinking about doing something insane today and opening up sketch comms for like $35-50 that I do in the next 8 hours before work.

the only thing that pisses me off about the Game of Thrones universe is that those are not dragons. those are clearly fucking wyverns. get it together hollywood.

One of my favorite things about doing YCHs is asking about expressions or any special requests that I can easily fulfill to make the piece more unique for my client x3 its the little things that can really bring a character to life

Sleep on it. If you draw a pic and it looks off but you can't figure out why, don't look at it for 24+ hours. When you come back to it, it'll be a lot more obvious what needs to be done. Alternately, if a sketch isn't working, drop it and sketch it again from scratch the next day. It'll be better

Hey artists, let's share some helpful things in the community :) 🎨 What's one tip or trick you would give a new artist in your chosen medium? (Or just in general!)

I don't mean to vaguepost or anything but it kind of drives me insane to see posts about how artists draw stuff "wrong". There's no right way to be an artist and the most important part about drawing is creating something you want to make and enjoy the process.

It's just something I've noticed in particular with younger furries, like under 23-22 (no offense lol I know a lot of great people in this community that are that age) but they'll make broad sweeping statements about how artists should draw. Idk. It upsets me lol -_-

I was too embarrassed to admit this last night but this is not the first time this has happened and worst of all, it's not the first time I've done that to that exact guys beer 😭 he's used to my shit at this point
