if you don’t keep up with the youth i want you to know they’ve renamed “tramp stamps” to “cake toppers” which feels like the first advancement for feminism in a long time

No. Legitimately. You’re learning. Doing things imperfectly, struggling with them, being dissatisfied? That’s normal. I promise you’re fine.

How can you, a craftsperson, ever feel like an imposter when there are people who insist that a computer doing the work for them makes them an artist? You don’t gotta think of yourself like that, the real imposters self-disclose.

This is not the rat I’ve been drawing, but I thought to myself; “Why leave without sharing something as long as I’ve got something to share?” Anyway, here’s a really cool snake that belongs to a friend. #art #furries #commissions
Flat color illustration of an anthropomorphic snake with pointed ears and a curly mane of iridescent blue hair/fur. He’s also smoking. He’s also ALSO giving you the stink-eye.

Horrible old man #art #dragons #pencil
Nonsensical doodles of a wyvern character (sometimes with four wings) posed across the page in various orientations and levels of detail. He just LOOKS like he’s gonna give someone hell today. Really ruin their mood.

*solid snake noise* #art #fma
So, I decided to redo that chimera Mustang just because I could. This is a screenshot of the new doodle of him where he’s looking very not thrilled about any of this, and to the left is the first pass I ever did of this design. Still figuring out what I want his markings to be, admittedly…
