Things I was frightened of as a child: The knot in a step of the staircase to my bedroom that looked like an eye Footbridges with no guardrail The long-legged spiders in the bathroom That one point and click pc game my mom loved (Black Mirror 2003) The shadows and deaths in Heart of Darkness (1998)

Struggling between "if i put more effort into my social media perhaps my art would reach more people" and "if i put more effort in and i don't get any results i might pull the plus this time"

Finished this commission last month or so - struggled with it a bit, not even because of technical difficulties, I was just intimidated by all those lines LMAO really happy with the result though

Downside of my 7h straight of pattern drafting from yesterday is that I'm caught up on Critical Role Upside is that that means i can watch some more Private Nightmares guilt free :) (IF i can bring myself to start that episode again. Shit was going down last i was there)

This is what I point to when folks try to justify genAI. "It's not so bad as long as they don't sell it." Meanwhile, these data centers are swallowing up resources, ruining local water infrastructure, & not really caring. All for plagiarized slop. It's gross. Every use counts. Every single one.

What if we were both ex-child soldiers and had daddy issues AND were bi #criticalrole #art

watercolor art of julien and azune. julien sits on a wooden surface, leaning on his hands and looking up at azune who stands beside him. julien wears green pants with a slightly unbuttoned/unlaced front closure, as well as a sheer white shirt which shows off his chest. azune wears grey pants and a grey sleeveless shirt. he has one hand on julien's chin, looking into his eyes intensely with a stormy expression. julien smirks at him slightly in return. the background of the image shows a circle haloing them both, drawn in sunset shades of orange and yellow.

lrp Funny story about my experience with O Brother Where Art Thou, I first watched it during a family movie night some time back when I was in middle school and quite liked it but deffo did NOT understand it as an Odyssey retelling.

It's absolutely disgusting that hanging out with your art friends who make incredible things makes you want to pick up your paintbrush again. How fucking dare.

Always love to be reminded of this. A lot of it was hand-stitched too. Really amazing, precise work. Women’s work is so often minimised and forgotten.

Screenshot:

ALSO, it's not just little old ladies sewed the first spacesuits," it's "the women from the Playtex Corp were the only ones who could sew within the tolerances needed." Yes, THAT Playtex Corp, the one who makes bras.
Bra-makers sent us to the moon.
And the cool thing with them was that they did it all WITHOUT PINS, WITHOUT SEAM RIPPING and in ONE TRY. You couldn't use pins or re-sew seams because the spacesuits had to be airtight, so any additional holes in them were NO GOOD. They were also sewing to some STUPID tight tolerances-in our costume shop if you're within an eighth of an inch of being on the line, you're usually good. The Playtex ladies were working on tolerances of 1/32nd of an inch. 1/32nd. AND IN 21 LAYERS OF FABRIC.

digital artists, share your first digital art and year vs. now 2014 vs 2026 I had to scroll down my Tumblr so much more than i expected omg. My actual first digital piece has been lost to time and computer changes but the RvB fandom is where I really started sharing my art :)
