I would love to replace Paypal etc. Interesting that Cash was common in Brazil before this, Germans do the same thing. So far we didnt switch to digital payment overall.

You are tempting me ^^

I am using € usually. ^^

I would say, especially with low reach this would be the way to start.

Thanks. I was wondering if a print on demand or other service would be a better way to go. Not that I expect much money to begin with.

A good deal if you have an older version.
For me, I have the V4 perpetual license and so far only the smart brush line and color changer for multiple layers seem really interesting.

And a question for any artist out there: Have you produced/ self published anything on your own? How did it go?
I am thinking about self publishing a book or other prints. Sadly I have nowhere near the reach as Loish or some others do.

I am now trying to get Nightshade running, which doesn't seem to work as flawlessly as I have hope. Its not perfect protection either, but it can mess with some training data potentially.

I am open for commissions.
Fantasy, furry, Warcraft, 40k you name it.

The most frustrating part is how willingly governments throw an entire business under the bus because big tech stole the stuff too quickly. So what copyright is a thing of the past now?

I am swimming from depression to anger today.

It's really depressing to see some of my old clients of mine adapting AI. One of my biggest clients that I used to work with for year, now reworked half of his covers with AI.
Even one of mine, although they didn't have the rights to do it.

I would really like trying a Wacom to compare it to my current Huion. But the price is just a complete turn-off. A Huion starts (the NEW ones) around 400$ with 1.200$ being the most expensive ones. And so far it works just fine.

What are you guys using?

A deer based design would be really interesting to see. Could make an interesting mix between horse and elk.

The worst that I have encounter like this was "pay on publication". Which leaves open what happens if they never release the product or if they delay it for a year. This should be an obvious no go for everybody.

I got it. ^^ Also, makes me wonder why unicorsn are always this elfe like creatures and never based on something like a draft horse. Or being omnivores if you've read Rivers of London.

Ah, so its a fixed rate per day thing?
Or just a strange way to say that you get X amount.

Cara is great (an AI free gallery very similar to art station). I also have a web page and visit Tumblr on rare occasions. If only it was placed in the EU.

Once I have nightshade running I might go back to artstation or Instagram.

I am not used to English negotiations. What does net 14 or net 60 mean here?

The new Pc is basically done. And now that I wanted to move it to replace the old tower, I noticed that the new graphics card doesn't have a fitting slot for my old monitor's DVI cable. ^^°
Lucky me, I have a Huion tablet monitor that works just fine. XD

Nice linework you have.

I also do private commissions.

The good news: I finally moved all my data and software onto my new PC system and everything works.
The bad: My ancient Adobe CS5 cant update anymore. (It runs though) There are just no update files left online.

How I wish Adobe was cheaper or Affinity could read/ create ind and ai files.

Mine was like an old phone, double the size and 3x as thick, brick grey. ^^

I rewatched "In the mouth of madness".
~ Madness is what the system says, what if the insane would take over and make madness the norm?
Feels strangely fitting.

Thank you!

Thanks, it was a lot of work and a lot of fun. I've been a Big G fan since forever. It feels great to have an official Godzilla project under my belt.

King of Tokyo Godzilla Revealed! YouTube video by The Dice Tower

King of Tokyo - Godzilla (Iello/ Toho)
I made all the illustrations for this bad boy and man, did it turn out great. Easily my biggest project from 2025. So much fun to work on a real Godzilla project. #Godzilla #boardgame #art

Are you doing the linearts traditionally or digital?
As always, lovely style.

A fan made Magic the Garthering card. A dark scene in a dead forest. A black dragon worm is being enslaved by blue magic chains, cast by a female sorceress. A mind bender. Art by Markus Erdt

A slightly reworked version of the last one. Instead of the eye, the chain goes into the top of the head + around the neck to visualize the enslavement. #MEart #MTG #art #TCG

I watch the -30% in Adobe stocks for the last year with a certain amount of glee.

a row of 6 black and white sketches, depicting ideaas for a "mindbender" card. Art by Markus Erdt.

Since my Mind bender card is so old, I went back to thumbnails and see what comes up. I want to keep the idea of the magical chain in some way though. Most with enslaved creatures around the sorceress. E is different as we see the face of a king being enslaved. But that might not be clear. #MEsketch
