Been having a lot of fun trying out a drawing tablet (Huion Slate 11). First two were made on Clipstudio (subscription sevice 🤢). Last two on Infinite Painter (very cheap life time purchase). #drawing #ink #sketch

Hopefully last bit of editing before ready to search for a publisher! It's been so long... #comics #drawing #ink #seclusionthunder #graphicnovels

Made a silly animation to try out resprite on a tablet, first impressions were good if a bit finnicky

Hey fellow artists, got a tablet to be able to work on the go. I'm not sure I have good apps. I tried Krita but it looks like it was made for keyboard, and clipstudio which was better but I have to pay for subscription. Any recommendation for a one-time-buy art app?

Not my 9 favorite games, but influential ones that shaped what I like about games. No particular order. Sad I had to leave a few out... #My9Games my9games.net/en/share/7a6...

Kælan Mikla is one of my favorite bands... darkwave/goth vocals + bass + keyboard 🖤🖤🖤

Haha I had other people recommending it to me too, might be legit 😅

📢Calling fellow #pixelartㅤ artists! I'm thinking of grabbing an android tablet for work while traveling. Any recommendations for a pixelart app as good (or almost as good) as aseprite? I mostly need one that lets me animate, and has layers. Thanks in advance!

If you haven’t, don’t wait to get those hazy, ethereal, darkwave fall vibes going with my new song, “Find A Way Back Home!” This is one of my favorite songs I’ve ever written and produced in 14 years of doing this professionally 🤘🏻✨ distrokid.com/hyperfollow/...

I mean it's fine to have this but it feels like it's ONLY this, even for franchises that have nothing to do with it

Rafael Ventura @rafaelborven.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

Wow they really dropped the ball with the Golden Axe cartoon tone huh. Zero interest in watching. Do Americans not know how to make a proper animation for adults? It's always this boring self-aware, meta, ironic nonsense with random sex and blood jokes.

Rafael Ventura @rafaelborven.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

It's been a while, so I'd say most of the main cast/villains, and some NPCs. But there were other animators also

I had no idea Deep Fear OST was such a banger! No wonder though, it was composed by Kenji Kawai from Ghost in the Shell music.youtube.com/watch?v=giUR...

Most fun I had with a fighting game in recent years. Feels a lot like a very open and fluid game from late 90s/early 2000s

Rafael Ventura @rafaelborven.bsky.social · 01/08/2026

I learned a few new tricks and combos for Toph! I felt this Korra player was around my level, a shame they didn't want to play a lot of matches.

Huh?? This was a pretty popular bootleg game in Brazil. Do you know why this easter egg?

Rafael Ventura @rafaelborven.bsky.social · 28/07/2026

I'm having more fun with Avatar Legends than I had with any other recent fighting game in years! And I don't even know how to do 1/10th of the crazy stuff I see online (I'm Toph of course bc she is the best)

Rafael Ventura @rafaelborven.bsky.social · 28/07/2026

So a new Ghost in the Shell show, and an out of this world Avatar fighting game. World’s artistic production can stop now, we're done
