I feel like more people should be talking about this part

Screenshot from the article that reads, The Stud, San Francisco's oldest gay bar, was only able to have its Meta pages restored because of the bars popularity among gay tech executives with connections to Meta

EXACTLY, like... apparently that's normal and you gotta use adjustments to make it not look bad but idk, I like the control of just... choosing my own colours right off the bat. Oh well, at least I gave it a shot!

lowkey painting it a second time because i added some colour on top and now i'm going back in trying to fix it 😭

elitsa ✨🩸 @elitsa-nn.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

i tried doing a painting where i get all the values down in black and white and THEN add colours and im regretting it so badly... i'm mostly a digital artist but even so i think i'm too traditional art brained for this, what do you MEAN i have to rely on adjustment layers for my colours???

what are we as an industry even doing man

an edit of the "hey little man, how's it going" meme format (originally a comic called "a true conversationalist" by cartoonist Mysillycomics). the character asks "hey screenskills, how's it goin?", and the next shows a screenshot from a screenskills communication email, promoting a " technology leadership in animation" short course for "experienced animation professionals", promising that "participants will explore machine learning, large language models, and generative AI alongside potential applications in development, visual research, pitching, planning, wprkdlow efficiency, editing, localisation, and marketing". in the next panel the character stares blankly before finally proclaiming "yea"

i remember seeing some art trains on twitter back in the day but lot of artists left (for many reasons but especially because all art on there apparently trains grok AI)... so i guess even when there's an art train there aren't many artists left to participate in it!

She-Devil With A Sword #redsonja

An illustration of Red Sonja, rendered in black and white, with bits of bright, orangey red and stylized flames behind her. She's leaning on her sword and holding the hilt of a spear, the wind is blowing her hair and chainmail bikini armour, blood splattered across her face and body

Wanted to do more for #Mermay but I think this might have to be my big one for the month!!

A blonde female knight, her hair tightly braided around her head, sits on a riverbank, her legs dangling off the bank and into the water. She's resting her right arm on the hilt of her sword, stabbed into the earth before her, between her legs. A mermaid emerges from the water, teal-skinned, her dark hair flowing behind her into the river. She holds the knight's thighs firmly, looking up at her with a determined look. The sword's hilt casts a shadow over the mermaid's face. The knight looks surprised, or frightened, yet does not move away. Water lilies bloom around the two women.

A more detailed close-up of the mermaid in the previous image.

Hey artists, share something!🖤

A witch prepares a love potion. She's in a dark room with rows of potions behind her, the only light coming from the potion itself. It's mixed in a martini-like glass, as she cuts her palm with a knife and a large drop of her pink blood drips into the glass with a splash. The picture is framed by various ingredients for her potion.

Meet the Videotheque team - first up, animation artist and general art witch Ellie (@elitsa-nn.bsky.social) !

A short bio - "Ellie (you might also know her as Elitsa!) is an artist with 9 years of experience in the animation industry, whose range spans from pre-school TV to 18+ satanic doo-wop music videos. She's currently on a million side quests, dipping her toes into comics and maybe even independent shorts (could this be foreshadowing?), and, when the stars (and her friends' schedules) align, she's the team's dungeon master!"

Some more about Ellie - her favourite film is The Last Unicorn, and she wants to see more "adult animation that's not in That One Style". This is presented against a screenshot from The Last Unicorn.

Bristol (and the area) mutuals!! I've got a new sidequest going with some of my best friends! Would love to see you there!

(for context in the UK that stuff gets hidden with no way to look at it unless you verify your identity/age and honestly even with the "get a credit card and then close it immediately" workaround... i don't think i should have to do that lmfao)

This is a somewhat oldie from a Valentine's Day prompt series... The prompt was "potion" and I thought it would be fun to illustrate all the ingredients as the border. No one seemed to respond to this one on any platform I posted it on for some reason but idc, I always liked how it turned out.

but ultimately i'm just a person!! ultimately i think i will be making some form of art about the whole situation because whenever i see others do it, it makes me feel less alone and i'd like to offer that same feeling to other people. but i'm biding my time until i figure ✨some stuff✨ out

elitsa ✨🩸 @elitsa-nn.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

okay maybe by "alienate people" what i mean is i'm actually a bit worried about burning bridges. which is not a very cool and rebellious thing of me to be worried about, especially considering how i'm not sure how i feel about working in the industry again, at least for the time being...

110

elitsa ✨🩸 @elitsa-nn.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

i used to think i don't care but i'm losing the idgaf war. if you've worked with me (particularly in a studio situation) you know i tend to have few reservations about running my mouth (politely and following proper workplace protocol 💖) but i feel like some of my recent thoughts top even that lol

elitsa ✨🩸 @elitsa-nn.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

i've recently been wanting to make some comics or zines or something talking about how i feel having not worked in animation since november last year but given how my feelings on the industry are less than favourable i feel like it would maybe alienate people...

I've been transcribing some burial records as a volunteer recently and I came across a 1918 burial of someone called Leazoody Boscroody and I'm so obsessed with that name.

guys i didn't win the lottery but i found this shirt for a fraction of the price because it was a youth large (the super expensive ones are all men's XL)... being an adult woman with the taste of a 10 year old boy in 1999 has paid off

I made some zines for trinket trading ar FF but they got stupidly cropped when printing so I only had time to hand-tweak about 20 (out of 49...) which I traded away! Will be fixing the others this week and scattering them around Bristol in coffee or book shops or the Central Library at some point 👀

I've been MIA on here because life has been crazy busy but rest assured I have been slaying irl. In case anyone was worried. (regular day/seeing the cheeky girls at pride/fantasy forest respectively)
