Hack: when looking for references of people, take screenshots from videos rather than drawing from actual photos. You’ll end up with a more unique reference. Also, use screenshots of locations from street view in Google earth when drawing backgrounds. You’ll end up with references nobody else has

I'll highlight here for clarity (thanks Mercy!), this is for NON EU FOLKS - UK, US, South America, Australia, SEA etc. If you sell any physical goods to the EU - records, prints, pins, plushies, merch and you have your name, company or branding on any of your packaging, this affects you.

Man sticker mule is advertising all over YouTube, stealing sticker app’s ad aesthetics and really hoping you forget about the obscene amount of money they’ve donated to Trump and also making a Trump statue. But I remember. We all remember, sticker mule. cbs6albany.com/news/local/s...

Art energy hadn't moved much beyond sketchbook stuff lately, trying to find a bit of a looser flow with my work, be less precious. #sketchbook #art

My new piece 'The Old Oak Spirit', coming Sat 1st Aug on @everydayoriginal.bsky.social Channelling my love of deep cool forests & fairytale damsels on mystic quests. Liked it enough to find a fitting fairytale frame to finish it with! 8 x 6" in acrylic & gouache #art #fantasyart #traditionalart

Last year I did a semester at Smart School with Sam Weber that challenged my process in a way I'm still getting to grips with. I've not shared much of the work I did as I'm still figuring things out, but here's one of the pieces I finished. "Echo" watercolour & acrylic 9 x 12" #traditionalart #art

dear god just saw how an it looks when someone's hit with the account wide adult content warning and it's fucking MISERABLE blurred icon, blurred banner, every single post is hidden, even text posts, and posts that have images require you to hit unhide TWICE for the text and image, fucking nightmare

Hey so moderation chosen and set up for individual posts makes the most sense. But posts get auto-mislabeled all the time, and you think applying an often inaccurate auto-mod to an entire account won't cause more harm than good? You'll mass hide accounts that are posting within rules this way.

The release also includes a rebuilt GIF picker, a refreshed photo viewer, expanded moderation labeling at the account level, and a fix for a bug that was silently dropping some iOS video uploads.

This is genuinely fucked up, you are disappearing accounts from audiences completely that have posted nsfw, the majority of people who sign up here don't even know about the default moderation settings. Tagging per post was fine, people preferred it!

One more #Mermay! Lionfish make for such a good mermaid base. Also trying out a very different palette with the #colorcube again. Handmade watercolour paints in the photo are from Beam Paints, a gift from a friend and are lovely! Base for the gouache used on top.

Had the May art bug again, seeing my #Mermay pics from a couple years ago made me want to create more. Can't go wrong with a classic red head mermaid! Having some fun choosing my colours with the physical color cube palettes from @sarahrenaeclark.bsky.social too. #fantasyart #traditionalart

Rare I get to do much personal for fun work these days, but #Mermay brought real fomo! Couple of total comfort zone pieces, with bright colours, elegant feminine form and fish fins :D #art

My latest piece, 'Below', is gouache on paper 5 x 7" comes framed. 'E’er I breathe the waters here I should surely find feathers for the heavens clear Do nought but further bind' On @everydayoriginal.bsky.social later today! Early access via their mailing list. #art #fantasyart

Trying to feed the algorithm gods on other platforms with video content, so I figured there might be folks who enjoy a look at the process. 'Below' is mixed media, 5x7 inches. #traditionalart #artforsale

More coverage of our 10,000 Game Assets Pack, this time on Dexerto. We really do appreciate all the support everyone is giving this - basically it makes the last year of working on it full time worthwhile & spurs us on to create more assets!! www.dexerto.com/gaming/indie... #gamedev #indiedev

dexerto.comIndie studio releases 10k human-made game assets so devs “don’t turn to AI” - DexertoIndie creators got a boost as a new 10k human-made asset pack launched to help developers avoid relying on AI tools.

Hey all, do I have any UK based concept artists following me (or who knows anyone) who would be up for a long term 22 month contract working on Dragonwilds at Jagex? Remote with a very occasional day in office in Cambridge. Development experience and fantasy genre work is a must. Mid level role.

Just sharing a few bits of imagery for the game so folks can get a good feel. If you have a good grasp of stylisation and fantasy in your work, I'd love to hear from you! Looking for folks with good design bones :)
