This snugly little one is making working on my art dolls impossible right now. 🥰

A look at all three of the paintings I managed for last month’s challenge. ✨ Which one’s your favourite? #TraditionalArt #FantasyArt #Painting

A photo of three paintings on black paper, placed on a wooden desk and surrounded by a paint brush, crystals, and leaves. The biggest of the three features a mossy tree stump resembling a seat with an acorn-shaped lantern above it. The second one features a small
plank spanning water between columnar basalt, with glowing candle-shapes plants in the water. The third one features a grotto with glowing mushrooms tucked inside a geode, some moss spilling out of it.

There are some trolls that, when they go to their forever home, I know my heart will break. Drublow is most definitely one of them! He has the kindest, sweetest little face. #fantasyart

No, I do not. I avoid Ai "assisting" searches. I use reference material compiled by people. I work from my own head, heart & experience. When those aren't enough I reach out to other people. GenAi is the antithesis to writing. Creative, analytical, etc. It does not create. It vomits stolen talent.

I'm not sure if this is due to how digitsl brushes are sold, but I keep seeing (always young) artists referring to their DIGITAL artwork as "watercolors" or "oil" or whatever medium they are trying to emulate. Don't do that. If I can't tell if you're ignorant or predatory, I'll assume the worst.
