Your Local Satyr on the 8s @bardicsatyr.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I am considering this list and do a few idk 010
Your Local Satyr on the 8s @bardicsatyr.bsky.social · 05/10/2026AD doesn’t actually, he was forced to swallow a lot as a sex worker high on opiates. A lot of different species have different tasting jizz, satyrs and humans taste the same but elves taste sour. As for as ATLA fan characters, Sekar likes cum and Taktuq prides on sucking cock and swallowing. 020
Your Local Satyr on the 8s @bardicsatyr.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Neocolor2 are water soulable crayons, basically crayolas that ascended into godhood. Naturally I drew Reza spread out cum drunk. Because I am no deprave not to use my watercolors for stupid smut 040
Your Local Satyr on the 8s @bardicsatyr.bsky.social · 19/09/2026I long for those years when I can draw something doofy, posted on FurAffinity and feel proud. Now I'm working a digital portrait using some helpful tools and pulling on my learning, and I am ready to give up and do it with watercolors instead. No brush on Procreate feels like my watercolors. END 001
Your Local Satyr on the 8s @bardicsatyr.bsky.social · 19/09/2026What it comes down to is that I do like digital media and if I want to have a presence online, I am going to have to get better at it. That is what people want to look at, unless I get a really good camera for my trad stuff. I am just stuck at hurdle and I know why and trying to fix it. 100
Your Local Satyr on the 8s @bardicsatyr.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Why does all my digital work look like ass? Tutorials hard for me to follow because there is just a lot of useless background stuff (No I don't care about your drawing course), or brush with a paywall, or folks who don't know the program (I know how masks work). What the hell do I do? 100
Your Local Satyr on the 8s @bardicsatyr.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Maybe it's tactile nature of trad art, maybe it's the fact it's my native discipline, but Van Gogh help, I want to get good at digital so I can fall in love with it like all my other media. I guess I have such high expectations that I am only damning myself, but I have done such good work before.... 111
Your Local Satyr on the 8s @bardicsatyr.bsky.social · 19/09/2026On my desk, I am listening to deep house with beer and covered in pastel dust, watercolor paint or whatever. I am lost in the space of creation. I don't make masterpieces I just felt like I accomplished something. Even little ink wash doodles feel right. I don't know what's missing digitally. 100
Your Local Satyr on the 8s @bardicsatyr.bsky.social · 19/09/2026I keep going back to Procreate and I kept trying, alongside skills like color theory and elements of art that I was using in meatspace for my messy desk. Every time I finish something, I wasn't really proud, it felt lacking. Yeah it looks cool and I did a good job, but nothing felt like when I paint 100
Your Local Satyr on the 8s @bardicsatyr.bsky.social · 19/09/2026I thought maybe I just needed to be back using a Wacom, I picked up my old Intuos and downloaded Krita, I felt stuck again. So fucking limited on what I wanted to create, nothing felt interesting or engaging. I was just stuck in this skill pit, CSP was a hellscape. The learning curve was death drop 100
Your Local Satyr on the 8s @bardicsatyr.bsky.social · 19/09/2026The skills I had were gone, they were for another program entirely, every program has a very different interface and you have to start over again. I was use to a light weight deal, Procreate has less bells and whistles than CSP but it wasn't SAI. Exploration became frustration. I felt stuck. 100
Your Local Satyr on the 8s @bardicsatyr.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Then I got with my new lover, Procreate on my iPad in 2018 and thus the problems begin. Rather, this is where I notice some stuff. First, I realize that trad-digital media jumps are not seamless or intuitive, the stuff you learn while painting in the real. Do not apply on your tablet. 100
Your Local Satyr on the 8s @bardicsatyr.bsky.social · 19/09/2026I found myself in a weird space after a while when I didn't have access to digital media anymore, so my trads skills got better but my digital ones languished. Once I had access to a decent program, I started back my bullshit and picked up my ex-Paintool SAI and we're off to the races. 100
Your Local Satyr on the 8s @bardicsatyr.bsky.social · 19/09/2026I think the my Wacom was a Bamboo IDR. I might have actually used Photoshop? Listen, 2007-09 was rough time of events for me. Anyway, I did a lot of exploration and futzing around that time, and I was eager to really sink my teeth into a media that was the new hotness of that era. I was ravenous 100
Your Local Satyr on the 8s @bardicsatyr.bsky.social · 19/09/2026#digitalart #NoGenAI #Procreate I am going to bitch about my love/hate relationship with digital media. My thesis is basically 'I wish I was more confident with digital interfaces and not overwhelmed all the time' I started using Wacom in 2008 and used I think Paintool SAI as my first program. 🧵 120
Your Local Satyr on the 8s @bardicsatyr.bsky.social · 19/09/2026#traditionalart #oilpaint #analogart Well. Hubris caught up with me. First this is a slow media so learning that I am working this differently. First I am adding skin tone first to get an idea on how want base look then I am working light to dark one this dries adding darker and darker as I go. 110
Your Local Satyr on the 8s @bardicsatyr.bsky.social · 19/09/2026I mean nephilum did exisit sooooo, I mean that was one of the reasons Enoch was tasked to find the Watchers iirc 010
Your Local Satyr on the 8s @bardicsatyr.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Not like they weren’t jorkin’ it with the other hand while painting. Hopefully not with solvents. Bob Ross gave me lovely landscapes and Gordon Lightfoot energy, but something dark and horny is background, maybe Bosch, the Dutch are fucking weird. 000
Your Local Satyr on the 8s @bardicsatyr.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Could be a portrait of an OC, could be another round of fine art dicks. Drawing smut in oils or in pastels makes me feel naughty. Like I am committing some obscene act by drawing smut with media that has such a storied history. I know many old masters would be proud of me. 110
Your Local Satyr on the 8s @bardicsatyr.bsky.social · 17/09/2026#traditionalartist #tradart For some dumbass reason I got in me to actually go back and try oils again. I did do more prep, figured out what went wrong and going back at this, this evening. Might drink a beer/cannasoda and see where the night takes me. I am lowering my expectations honestly. 220
Your Local Satyr on the 8s @bardicsatyr.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Are there separate water systems too??? 120
Your Local Satyr on the 8s @bardicsatyr.bsky.social · 17/09/2026They're French tho so they might appreciate it. 010
Your Local Satyr on the 8s @bardicsatyr.bsky.social · 17/09/2026I am doing soft pastels snd playing with different blending methods. Adderall has improved my focus enough that I can build my discipline again. Yes I am drawing dicks. Fight me. Also I am so glad art brands dont have a presence here. I will bother Sennilier with pastel dicks for sure. 110
Your Local Satyr on the 8s @bardicsatyr.bsky.social · 17/09/2026#traditionart #pastels #traditonalartist Welp. Leaned my lesson. Turns out oils are actually hard. Two things I learned. 1) I need to actually look at tutorials and be patient. 2) I need to set different expectations. Water soluable oils are still oils and I need be mindful as such. 110
Your Local Satyr on the 8s @bardicsatyr.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Mural art has been a bucket list for me. I want to turn a wall into a Greek urn of Achilles and Patrolcus holding each other 010
Your Local Satyr on the 8s @bardicsatyr.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Really nice figure work, my proportions are always ass but you got a good grip 100
Your Local Satyr on the 8s @bardicsatyr.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Mel Blanc is the saint of manic voice acting that make characters alive, only Mark Hamil comes close 040
Your Local Satyr on the 8s @bardicsatyr.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Take the time to learn it's animus and you'll find that it will save you from dark moments or turn the suffering into utter bliss. GenAI doesn't give you that, but the late night jazz playing, and oils on your arm will. Art has an animus, art has a true soul. 010
Your Local Satyr on the 8s @bardicsatyr.bsky.social · 16/09/202680 hour weeks and no reprieve, some turn to drugs others to pure dopamine. Learning a craft to build intellect and skill is a commitment and people don't have time for that anymore. I didn't when I was working. Yet, artwork is a loving friend though. One who's love kept me alive. 100
Your Local Satyr on the 8s @bardicsatyr.bsky.social · 16/09/2026GenAI sells you the illusion of craftwork but there is nothing there. The dopamine high takes over and you spend your days fighting to justify it. It doesn't have animus you can't have a friend ship with it. Yet to befriend a craft it's work like all relationships and people are lazy. 100
Your Local Satyr on the 8s @bardicsatyr.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Jokes on you this is Gen AI rant. Get bent. GenAI doesn't have an animus. It doesn't have a soul to talk to and to befriend, bond and have a relationship with. A producer has a library of music to mix and knows his craft and talks to its animus. Digital artists argue with theirs. 110
Your Local Satyr on the 8s @bardicsatyr.bsky.social · 16/09/2026I am sure digital artists have very similar stories of 3a epiphanies after an edible and after listening to some Arabic deep house. I think they too talk to their media's animus. I know I argue with Procreate like its my job. There is real intimacy with art that feels like love making or fighting. 100
Your Local Satyr on the 8s @bardicsatyr.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Pastels soft and oil, honk the horn at 3 in the morning and says 'bitch lets go roadtripping'. I am sure if I get back into true oil painting I will also have a series of 'wtf is going on and why do I like it' moments. I am still figuring out acrylic marker. Learning as I got while slightly high 110
Your Local Satyr on the 8s @bardicsatyr.bsky.social · 16/09/2026I am deepening values, pulling hues from my collection that layer well or not and letting myself make choices and sticking with it. Watercolor is soft and gentle for me, light washes that the volume is turned up bit by bit. I grab deep colors to tell stories I know my media well enough to go hard. 100
Your Local Satyr on the 8s @bardicsatyr.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Suddenly every shade and mark whether I wanted to put it down (no take backsies) become part of a dance in which I am negotiating with the media's animus and letting madness take me at 10:43p at night. I learned that this is the media that you have the run with it and really have fun. 100
Your Local Satyr on the 8s @bardicsatyr.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Pastels are bold in color and color was what I want to push to the front. Watercolor allows me to lift and work out mistakes the pastels told me to suck it up and run with it. I've done water-soluble oils and also played jazz with that media too. So I let my mistakes look purposeful. 100
Your Local Satyr on the 8s @bardicsatyr.bsky.social · 16/09/2026So got back into it. Watercolor and alcohol marker are transparent so emphasis on layers and light to dark methods are important. In a lesser extant, color pencils too they kind of fit in between. Opaque is dark to light and a different framework. While I was working on Sekar I changed gears 100
Your Local Satyr on the 8s @bardicsatyr.bsky.social · 16/09/2026I spent a good decade learning transparent media than my skills with opaques languished. At the same time I was screaming curses to the Machine Spirit as I was learning digital media too (RIP PaintToolSAI) and I really haven't picked up opaque media in a long time. 110
Your Local Satyr on the 8s @bardicsatyr.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Pastels were my first love in high school and I had both soft and oil pastels and I did a lot experimentation. Some how I dodge Cult of Copic in the 00s and just used all my pocket money on Prismacolor pencils and went back to Nupastels too. I discovered watercolors in my twenties and welp... 100
Your Local Satyr on the 8s @bardicsatyr.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Opaque media has always been my personal bugbear. Gouache, acrylics and oils always give me a run for my money and often sitting in that part of the learning curve were most give up and I don't blame them. I don't know what I am doing and most of the time I am playing jazz until something works 100
Your Local Satyr on the 8s @bardicsatyr.bsky.social · 16/09/2026#oilpastels #Traditionalart #NoGenAI Lessons I learned why getting my arm covered in 'chromium green' oil pastel. People bitch that watercolors are some cruel unloving mistress that wants to see your despair on live TV, when in fact opaque media is the one that likes your schadenfreude 110
Your Local Satyr on the 8s @bardicsatyr.bsky.social · 16/09/2026@paulstamets.bsky.social is GOAT'd his activism and knowledge is why psychiatric care is looking back into psilocybin for trauma care. As a druid, it's why I like using mushrooms for trauma relief. 000
Your Local Satyr on the 8s @bardicsatyr.bsky.social · 16/09/2026I need to draw tums more AD filled out post drugs so maybe 000
Your Local Satyr on the 8s @bardicsatyr.bsky.social · 16/09/2026God as my witness I will lovingly paint fat dongs with my Sennelier pastels, its what the old masters would have wanted. 020
