Anyone have any tips or good recommendations for tutorials on making short content? I feel like mine is not as interesting as it could be, but I'm really struggling on how to make a still image "exciting".

Really love that I have to ping pong changing the password to my damn Twitter account just to keep this jackass from changing my phone number on it.

Hey folks, looks like some jackass got into my Twitter account. Not sure how--I'm assuming there was a data leak somewhere. I'm working on getting it back (mostly for security reasons), so in the meantime, if you have me on Twitter, don't interact with the account.

Decided to do a free little content creation course just to get some of the basics since social media as a business is so daunting to me, but holy shit, they really got a good cop/bad cop thing going on.

Oh my God, the reel I made today for Instagram is actually.. getting seen? I mean, not a lot, but more than average!! And all my views on all my other content has gone up! It always feels so good when people like your art. 😭

Really fucking tired of life continuing to throw me curve balls. I literally just want security. That's it. I want to wake up without fearing for my bank account or my job or how I'm going to support my family. I'm just tired.

When you stop giving a fuck on how "good" your art looks, it turns out you're more willing to try new, fun things, like drawing back/foregrounds in perspective.

Pro tip: you don’t have to comm artists to boost and support them. People claim they can’t support artists and creators because they are financially strapped, but they can still boost posts, comment, like, and in general just be supportive! It’s completely free outside of an internet connection ;)

I designed Maida over 20 years ago and got the urge to switch her from fantasy to cyberpunk. I've done plenty of outfit redesigns for her, but this one was tough to get the aesthetic down while maintaining readability! #digitalart #cyberpunk #redesign #art #originalcharacter #ocart #procreate

A collage of three drawings of the artist's original character, Maida Shepherd. One is a standing front reference, one is a relaxed pose in her underwear, and another is a very cartoonish and exasperated sigh.

An old drawing of the artist's original character Maida Shepherd. She is holding a dagger with barbs at the top of the hilt and casting a wind spell. Her outfit consists of a green long sleeve shirt, dark green armbands, a dark green corset, green pants with one pant leg going down to mid-calf and the other that stops at the upper thigh. Her boots are uneven to match.

I miss Blushsprout so much. Readjusting one of my pin boards and about half the board is Blushsprout (I have another half board of Blushsprout, too). I really can't understate how joining her pin club saved my life. It's so silly, but just knowing each month had a lil joy in the mail was VITAL.

I definitely made my clownfish's eye too big, but I genuinely could not get over how he looked as though he'd witnessed whole galaxies being destroyed.

Ugh, I hate having so many ideas for art, but having been SO busy between being a mom, partner in the hospital (he's fine and probably having the best sleep he's had in the last 3 years, poor guy), and being busy in my day job, I haven't had time to make more asdfj

The fact that I have to work is a CRIME, I want to draw that piece of shit Johnny Silverhand. Johnny is my favorite Cyberpunk character and I hate him SO much. I feel like we'd be best friends, and we would hate each other more than anyone else in the world. That's the best kinda ride or die tbh.

Sometimes I think about the pngtuber I made for @liger.vtubers.social. This was before I even knew about @pixquare-app.bsky.social, so ALL of it, including separating layers and making all the emotes, was done in MSPaint! If the current round of commissions goes well, maybe I'll bring these back?

His outfits is a regal black suit with some blue and gold accessories, include a blue cravat with a gem. He is also wearing a cape that fans out into a blue gradient. Liger has dark Black skin and black dreadlocks fashioned in a ponytail. One side of his head is shaved.

I don't often draw fanart, but for some reason, I felt an indescribable urge to draw Maomao. She's easily my favorite anime character, so of course I had to listen to that urge! #apothecarydiaries #maomao #cyberpunk #fanart #digitalart #art #procreate

Months of studying. It's not perfect, but I think this is a really good place to start. I still have so much to learn and this piece was a good way to see what I've learned, and what I need to work on. Character is my vtuber, @novanone.bsky.social ! #vtuber #digitalart #cyberpunk #neon

So close to finishing my model.. had to take time off cause life got busy. I'm also a stickler for perfectionism, but I'm working on letting things just be imperfect. It's tough! But I'm super proud of what I've been making, so here's the WIP. Don't mind the orange face; that's just my map texture.
