Haha man, I wish I could say it doesn't annoy me as much anymore but the only thing that's saved me is bluesky moderation and the fact that twitter is so broken it just doesn't show me shit anymore LMAO.
I know. But I don't think I can also be faulted for struggling to find a middle ground in places outside of here with less moderation tools, because doing so means I also keep out those who mean well and it also matters to me connect with other people.
Let's go shopping for some windchimes king
Obviously it has its perks. Fucking obviously. But there is also. The evils.
Enslaved by the algorithm (2+ years to get out of this mindset btw), constantly a target for harassment and bad jokes and the entire concentrated malice of the internet when all you wanted was to draw.
Big artist vs small artist discourse is so funny I think any of you guys were friends with anybody who broke into big following you'd know almost all of them turn into this once they hit the 10k+ benchmark.
Shit, you're right. If people can get away with twinkification due to skill issue then I should be given the same grace in the opposite direction. :\
Certainly not, sorry, it's just a kneejerk defensive reaction sometimes cause you know how being an artist is like! I gotta have justification for anything I do ever or they'll want me out on the streets to be beaten up.
Yeah man I'll put Pocket on a crazy protein binge for you
Come have morning coffee with me let us listen to windchimes
Soooo true, how do you find doing it traditionally though? It seems I have no problem doing this on pen and paper but digitally I just can't seem to be able to make it work.
This game was so much to me in my pre-teens, I ought to take a little refresher.
I'm not joking I wouldn't know where the rest of the body went if I don't draw a big fuck-off neck like I always do. I've done this for years there's not other readily available method.
I don't have the fucking time to relearn anatomy leaning towards lighter masculine builds so people are just going to have to live with a little barafication from me.
Shoutout to my windchimes
Not to post like I'm 50 years old but having windchimes in your home is something that can truly be so special
I'm VERY touched and impressed that you've been around for that long because this is so ancient I totally forgot I even made this. 😭
Hold the fuck on I was cooking here
I gave such a fake quirky answer. My quick thinking. <3
Many thanks for the suggestions and help! I sure hope I sound like I know what I'm doing!
My accursed chris_sdd nepotism
For example when I applied for Starbucks the interviewer asked "if you were a beverage, what beverage would you be and why" and I assume it's for a similar purpose but that feels a little too weird for me to ask LMAO
Genuine question do you have any ideas about examples of questions I could ask if I just want to know how they would speak to a customer in a casual, more friendly context. Since it's a very sort of "community cafe" rather than corporate setting, if that makes sense. Ty in advance lol.
I have to interview for new part-timers and these kids are probably gonna be nervous but they also will have no idea that I, too, will be nervous because what the fuck do I even ask. I'm too woke for traditional job interviews. You need money that's why you want the job. Got it.
Give in
Ahaaaa thank you, this is much too generous of you, I'm very flattered. 🙏
I haven't been able to countercheck if this is one of his but you got me there I LOVE Ivan Bilibin's illustrations so I jumped on this IMMEDIATELY!
I may complain about art nonstop but I take pride in my linework I just thought it was funny that I've been trying to do the opposite of what people seem to complain about a lot.
I'm aware this sounds like "boohoo suffering from success, my lines are too clean and efficient and polished" whining. But.
Struggling with linework because I was trying to see if I can make it look looser and sketchy in feel but it takes a ridiculously disproportionate amount of effort to artificially manufacture the "sketchy" look than if I just did my usual going from chicken scratches straight to clean lines approach
Kengo... Hearing the first three notes to Oblivion on vinyl over digital surround sound... Tears bro
