Being an artist while AI is on the rise is scary, but computers can never replicate the authenticity and soul that exists in what humans create themselves.
Donβt give up.
Your creativity is the most powerful tool you possess.

Several sketches of a dark skinned man with long, lilac purple braids. The top left sketch is at a 3/4ths view and shows the man looking nonplussed at the viewer with his braids pulled into a ponytail and is fully colored. The top right sketch is a side profile, showing a section of his hair that is made into straight cornrows on the side of his head with the rest of his hair pulled into a low bun. The middle sketch is a side profile and shows the man with his braids down. The bottom left sketch shows the man from mid-thigh up. His hair is out of his braids and goes down past his shoulders. The bottom right sketch is of the man looking at something off screen. His braids are down and pulled over his shoulder. He is brushing two braids out of his face and tucking them behind his ear.
Three sequential drawings of a dark skinned man with long, lilac braids that are pulled into a ponytail. The first shows the man in a green wizard hat, white dress shirt, and dark brown trousers. There are tight, purple gloves that cover his lower forearm and the back of his hand, but leave his palms and fingers uncovered. The second drawing adds a light and dark green robe that goes down to his lower shins with slits at the top of the sleeves and gold embellishments at the ends of the sleeves. The third drawing adds a dark purple vest over top of the robe and a light purple belt around his hips. There are additional drawings scattered around. The leftmost is a sketch of his head's side profile, showing how long his braids are and how his hat lays over them. One drawing shows the intricate, art nouveau design on his sleeves. Another drawing shows his hands which have gold rings on both index fingers, his left middle finger, his right thumb, and his right pinky finger. The final drawing in the bottom right corner shows the top of the brim of his hat and that it has a gold design to match the pattern on his sleeves.

btw telling an artist you like their OC/want to see more has a lot more impact than numbers of likes and shares... obv those are appreciated too, but you don't really know what ppl sharing your art think of it unless they tell you. and it feels really nice to know! a kind comment goes a long way :)
The "so theres this blank" meme that says "so theres this slowburn enemies-to-lovers romantasy novel that I dont have time to focus on"

This reply in particular is so reassuring TvT. It feels nearly impossible sometimes and with very little to no reward 98% of the time. But, as with writing, it's not just something i like to do. It's something i NEED to do.
i know to many it's a job, but comics demand a nuclear amount of energy, usually provided by one person working alone, that is so misunderstood and unmatched lol
A cell shaded drawing of Corwin, a tall, blond man with round glasses and a red suit vest, from the webcomic Ostrum, and Arianna, a blonde woman in a red shirt and black scarf wearing a red gem on a long necklace, from the webcomic Castoff. They are both facing away from each other and looking at the other suspiciously. Corwin has his arms crossed and Arinna has one hand on her hip.

Taken from Sam Landman on FB but not sure if he is the artist. Graphic saying AI is for losers, reject fascism think for yourself. I can make Art thatβs ugly and bad all by myself thank you very much
A flat color sketch of Ramiel, a black person with an afro and undercut fade, as well as three, short, beaded dreads at the side of his face akin to bangs.
Alright guys... I'm playing with Ramiel's hair and I need to know if this is cute or not. (I think it is but i dont have a lot of experience with this hair texture, so I'd like to hear from people who do)
Happy #possumFriday !

I cant show you guys due to spoilers, but the next update of Ostrum has a page that goes soooooooo fucking hard that i am frothing at the mouth and barking like a wild dog. Also, unfortunately, only other comic aficionados will even pick up on it TTwTT
We are so back, my dudes!
Check out the new update: tapas.io/episode/3609...
Unfortunately for me, this is a weekly ritual. It doesn't get easier to keep making Ostrum, but it is consistently cathartic.
Protest movements that stop as soon as they start seeing results fail.
Protest movements that keep going until your whole squad is across the finish line win.
