AI is great when something needs to be done, but you don’t care about the quality of the done thing. Customer service, denying healthcare benefits… anywhere you might want to put a barrier between people and their needs.
A cute, cartoony drawing of Skywarp happily beating up a yellow car, while Thundercracker watches him from the background, smitten. Skywarp really is very pretty.
Thundercracker is sitting on the ground, playing with his Transformers toys, making toy Thundercracker and toy Skywarp kiss. Real Skywarp is sneaking up behind him, up to no good.
Skywarp is angrily shooting at someone or something, but Thundercracker is happily waving. He's just happy to be there and be included, sharing Skywarp's hobbies (shooting at things in anger)
Thundercracker and Skywarp face each other, holding hands, gazing into each others' optics. Their wings quiver with excitement. This is probably a dream sequence, as Skywarp is larger than Thundercracker here, and they are really the same toy in different colors so they should be the same size.
When I have art block, I often draw Transformers. Specifically Thundercracker, the sensitive Decepticon, and his crush on Skywarp, the dumb brute who is very pretty.
Transformers anatomy is weird. The giant calves and forearms limit a lot of their poses.
An overly cute brown dog, brushing his teeth with a pink toothbrush. The signature “GUS” is ambiguous, as “Gus” is a common dog name. Woof.
#januarty 6 “brush”
A capybara with a parachute, drifting slowly down. He is looking resentfully over his shoulder at his bird friend, who is sitting on his butt for the ride.
#januarty 4 "drop" - took a while to figure out something for the prompt. Maybe one of them is the other's pet for today's prompt.
Abstract birch tree trunks, on a brownish grey background. Some kind of blue critter with pointed ears and a mouth full of teeth is near the bottom, peering at you from between the trees. He might be wearing a dark coat, or its shadow.
#Januarty 3rd “trees”
A sketch of a robot and a boy sitting on an ill-defined ledge or bench. They are drawn with a quick, very pressure-sensitive brush, and colored underneath. The boy is wearing ugly mittens and the robot is wearing a matching scarf. The boy has dark blue hair with a pink patch, glasses and a single fang.
A doodle for #januarty 2nd, “matching”
I use it the other way — to determine the day of the week. This assumes that I took my medicine, though, so it isn’t foolproof.
I can only think of it as “oh, right, that other Avatar.” If it has had significant cultural impact, it missed me.
But lots of things with significant cultural impact miss me. 🤷♂️
Pangolins are awesome. Imagine if an artichoke was an animal.
Also, what about dinosaurs? I think you could do wonders with a stegosaurus.
A possum very excitedly finds a partially eaten pear. A digital painting made with procreate, in a sloppy-scratchy style — the top layer is black carved away to reveal the subject subtractively, with a bottom layer of color building up the subject additively.
#artadventcalendar dragging out an old piece for the solstice, because I still love this little guy. It’s the tiny teeth. Also, possums are great.
This is a perfect bird.
Gorgeous.
Process video has enough flashes to trigger epileptic seizures. Starts from a very loose sketch I made at El Moose of random customer waiting for tacos.
Digital drawing of a woman at a table, reading a book, with a drink near her, in a colorful restaurant. The woman has dark hair with blue highlights, a red-and-black flannel checked shirt, a dark brownish t-shirt, silver and gold necklaces, rings, eyebrow piercings. She is reading a book titled “Chipmunk Diaries” and has a tattoo on her hand. The drink is large, and pink, with a bendy straw and an umbrella. The tablecloth is majestic. Peacock blue, with big red flowers with yellow centers and green leaves. The walls are two-tone pink and red, with a battered blue chair rail. Pictures are hanging of a skeleton cat and a skeleton car. The composition is a cacophony. If the rule of thirds was followed, it was simply to entire that no spot was empty. Life is chaos.

Tip: Drawing hands is easy when you just completely give up on anatomy. This same tip can be applied to many things, in all areas of life.

Fuck you.
They’re really excellent when you don’t care about the quality of the results.
This speaks to me… in tongues no human can understand. But soothing.
Das ist eine erstaunliche Ziege.
A digital drawing/painting of a fish, kind of boxy in shape rather than slender with lots of blue spots. There is a label proclaiming her to be a Rio Grande Cichlid.
#artadventcalendar — #SundayFishSketch, ye olde Rio Grande Cichlid #25daysoffishmas
After a sketch, I decided to start with a layer with a plausible pattern, and then work above and below that layer to render the fish. So the background actually is in front of the foreground. This is irrelevant.
And Bush didn’t drink. Americans would rather have a beer with the guy who gave up drinking than Al Gore.
Bush, Trump and Biden, all non-drinkers.
I‘m not saying I want our next president to be an alcoholic, but…
A loose sketch of a gas meter, in pink, on a bright yellow background. There’s a fake “post it” note covering a spot, and then drawn over, as if there was a spot that didn’t turn out and it was covered and replaced — this is exactly what happened, but there was no reason to not erase since it’s digital, except that I am silly.
A loose sketch of a whole bunch of gas meters and plumbing accoutrements, in pink. The meters are then colored white under the line work, with a dull grey pink background.
#artadventcalendar sketches of gas meters. Pink gas meters, as if someone is marketing a “Gas Meter for Her”
I have only two trilobite plushies, which falls a few short of being a collection.
I should at least get a third. A trilobite trio.
They’re adorable. Maybe I have my creepy settings miscalibrated.
Digital painting of a white rabbit staring out a window with diamond shaped panes.
Bunny! #artadventcalendar
It might be worth keeping just to park your name, so miscreants can’t use it. If you are miscreant-worthy.
Four dinosaurs, probably some form of raptor, running in a pack, looking derpy. They have forked tongues hanging out, because it makes them look derpier.
Is it #artadventcalendar, or a bit of an #artdump where I dig up a half finished piece, and toss in a few details until I can call it sort of done?
A sketch of a young walrus, in brown, on a plain gray background. The sketch is done using the lasso tool to block out areas and then a textured brush. The walrus has one tiny tusk beginning to poke out.
Sometimes I forget #artadventcalendar exists. Or to draw. Or that time passes.
Here’s a baby walrus. His name is Howard, he is already tired of Howard Taft jokes, and he doesn’t know it now but his friend group is going to learn about Howard the Duck soon, and then quack at him mercilessly.
Not knowing how much it used to be, I don’t know how shocked to be, so I’m just going to focus on the cube fee of $30 and wonder why they hate cubes.
Do Non-cube boxes have a rectilinear solid fee? Can you send a sphere, or a spheroid?
It’s great, but I am no paleoartist.
Sometimes I wonder if animals would view my art as body horror.
