I’m getting SO close to the style I want to be good at! I like modern comic book cover styles with the faux-realism/glamour portraits. As someone who either goes from line art to straight real life, it’s hard simplifying shading and using oil texture brushes. Characters are mine, Desmond and Atreyu.

“If not shortcut, why shortcut shape?” I say as I plunge hundreds of feet off a mountain in FFXIV, critically take life off my health bar just to get places easier.

Currently playing Tenebris Somnia and it is everything I need in gaming. Mixed media art with heart and love for its muse. I’m going to geek out for the month telling people to play it.

I need you all to know I have a VERY unhealthy crush on David Dastmalchian and I WILL NOT EVER let it get to a healthy point. He is beautiful and nerdy and I will follow him to my demise.

There should be a donation threshold beyond which they promise to NEVER TEXT. Like, if I was going to donate $50, and they said "Donate $75 and we'll never contact you again" I would do it.

Do they even understand how much they’re pissing people off by doing this. Whatever research that convinces them that spamming everyone is all upside is bullshit. It is like they’d rather have all my contact info to sell to other campaigns forever than receive my donation. It sucks.

I can’t believe people actually enjoy livestreams and livestream clips. I try to watch them and it’s just creators responding to comments like an hour and a half and talking nonsense and a minute of the thing I actually came for. It’s fucking annoying as hell. Ya’ll our just programmed different.

Also, tracing, as practice, can improve your lines! Obviously don’t go tracing and copying work and claiming it as your own or selling it, but I am serious! It’s okay to teach yourself from others! Don’t let “self taught” labels make you believe they didn’t learn from something/someone else’s.

Use em, a guy in high school had me convinced for the longest that refs and rendering was cheating until I realized that guy didn't even art

Always remember, there is no shame in how you choose to grow as an artist and improvement is not “self taught”, but by “self-discipline”. Practice often, as much as you can, and be kind to yourself.

Use reference. I’m serious. I get it that somehow you or someone convinced you that using reference is “cheating.” It’s not. You are just hindering yourself.

I'm posting this to share that it's done. I ultimately ran out of time to make certain details more accurate and cleaned up. I did my best given the crazy schedule and emergency events at the same time. It's not my best work, but it's something. #witch #wizardofoz #witchofthesouth #halloween

It's my birthday! Hosting a little #artshare to celebrate, show off your work in the comments and repost the cool stuff you see! I'm Anan, a fantasy illustrator with a love for gritty stories and moody lighting. I'm currently looking for work in the RPG, TCG and book spaces! ✉️anan.so.ka@gmail.com

I’ve been working on building my own book nook and it has been fun. I love making art but I love physically building things and designing rooms even more. It just feels so rewarding and even though I’m not as good at it as I am drawing, it brings me comfort in a noisy world.

Hey, ProPublica reporter Jake Pearson here. I’m taking over the account to tell you about my new story. For months, I posed as a problem gambler on DraftKings to test the company's "responsible gaming" safeguards. Spoiler alert: They made me a VIP — and I lost $10K. Here's how it all went down. 🧵

Sometimes life feels hopeless and lonely, but then my friends check in on me and I’m just like 🥲 I’m so happy I chose the right people to surround myself with. ❤️

Cassoscriptumling, the Calligraphy Borderling. It feeds off ink from sources such as newspapers and books and replaces them with nonsense. Witnesses, who touch one of its pages, will forget how to write in a short amount of time. #ISeeBorderlings
