I’m rereading the Impel Down arc so might as well share some One Piece drawings I made a while back :)

Impel Down was peak and I’ll die on that hill.

I haven’t seen anyone talk about this but. ICYMI they started deploying LRAD devices in Minnesota this week.

These are sonic cannons used to disorient and disperse crowds.

Prolonged exposure can lead to permenant hearing loss, ruptured eardrums and debilitating headaches. Crazy.

@boichibetoon.bsky.social, these days do you do most of your drawing digitally?

The colors on this one go hard

WOAH this is sick!

Do you go into these with an idea for the colors you're gonna use or does that come later?

I actually made a short video on this but:

At a fundamental level, ALL drawings are made up of just lines. To improve (especially) line art, take the time to practice single lines, hatching, line weight, etc.

Also, don't forget to warm up your hands b4 practicing!

1) Be open discomfort.
2) Try not to be a passive seller.

Standing behind a table, literally selling your work 1:1 can feel really weird & exhausting (especially for multi day events)

- but being approachable and willing to talk about your craft for hours at a time is what brings in success.

This is such good advice. At the end of the day other artists are not your competition -- especially if you're not selling a project.

There will always be enough attention to go around and running your own race is the only way to move forward.

I cannot stress this enough: What's happening right now with Twitter / Grok and AI editing is the most disgusting thing I've ever seen on the internet. Full stop.

And a lot of people don't even know it's happening.

A ton of artists pushed back when the feature first dropped and it went nowhere.

Distraught woman says ICE killed her wife in video after deadly Minneapolis shooting

"They killed my wife. I don't know what to do," the woman says through sobs in the footage, with a damaged SUV visible in the distance behind her. "We stopped to videotape, and they shot her in the head," the woman cries.
"We have a six-year-old at school," she says, almost unable to breathe, as a chaotic scene in which federal officers prevented at least one doctor who was on the scene from assisting the shot victim unfolds. "We're new here," the distraught woman says in despair.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.

This could be you.

Right after RenΓ©e Good’s disgusting murder, a ICE goon was filmed kicking her memorial candles.
Absolutely vile.

🧡 Guys, edit image button wasn't made to stop you creating.

They WANT you to create and, more importantly, to keep uploading to X. They NEED training data and free entertainment for their userbase, and they don't give a damn whether you're providing it happy or full of spite and rightful fury.
