Cheers to the person who picked up a copy! :) This is still going on, and I should correct that I meant all proceeds, not profits, whoops. x'D But if you're looking for some spooky inspiration or references, now's a good time to grab this :D

Is someone trying to escape out, or is something trying to break in? Or maybe this is just a normal hallway with nothing spooky happening at all? Only you can decide ;) 👀 www.sambeawesome.com/store/2023-s... #stockphotos #artref #reference #samberef

A stock photo of an empty hallway, concrete walls on either side, with one side having indent space for windows out of frame, leading to double doors with darkened windows. It has a bit of a claustrophobic vibe to it.

I see a lot of posts saying that you need to be creative, you need to draw, defy the odds, yaddayadda. Hey. It's ok to be tired. It's ok to not be able to do much. It's ok to just sit on the couch and stare at the wall. Please drink some water. Take a shower if you can. It's ok.

Need some spoopy clouds for a spoopy atmosphere? Feel free to use these photos, if you dare! 👻🌩️ #artreference #stockphotos #drawingreference #artref #drawingref

A very dark and somewhat blurry image of grey storm clouds, illuminated by lightning unseen behind the clouds. Very spooky atmosphere.

Of course, the recent discovery of the tilcayo was interesting, but there is a lot more to talk about when discussing tiger cats! So have a little comparison: #SciArt #tilcayo #tigercat #oncilla #tigrina #guide

A guide about the different tiger cat species and their differences. All featured cat species look similar, but there are some subtle differences in spot size and shape, as well as color.

I just found out I’m losing my main source of income because AI search has nerfed the revenue of my main client. I am, also, 2000+ miles from home doing photography I expected to pay for with that income. If you can help, I’m hoping to raise $1000 to help cover trip costs & the drive back west.

Traditional watercolor illustrators who struggle with clients wanting transparent background files for spot illustrations: Affinity Photo has an "erase white paper" filter. I just started playing with it, but it's kind of magical. Total game changer. I had no idea it existed. Mind blown.

Trace! Use photos, 3D assets, specialty brushes, textures, copy and paste, reuse old panels, cheat cheat cheat. Baring it's human made and legally permissible, yolo. People look at panels for two seconds, don't pull your hair out trying to make it perfect. Shortcuts will save your life.

#WoTtober 3: Asha'man The talent. Not the curse. In which I definitely avoided the Perfectionism Trap, lol. But hopefully you get the idea. (Thank the gods for @sambestock.bsky.social's old/young hands pack, this could have been MUCH worse 😆) #WotSkies #TheWheelOfTime

Mostly black ink drawing of a small child's stubby hand reaching for the small, sinuous red and gold dragon held in an older man's creased palm. The older hand comes out of a black sleeve with a double line of thin gold piping on the cuff. The child's hand covers most of its fingers and some of the dragon. The two hands occupy one diagonal of the square picture, while a black Dragon's Fang (shaped more like a claw, or more precisely, half of a dotless yin-yang symbol) sits in each of the other two corners.

What makes this worse is for those who are JUST NOW starting to share their work. Artists like Loish are, by chance, lucky to have this long history pre-GenAI. (Obviously no one could've predicted this.) I worry about artists who have no historical evidence. We need to stop witch hunting by default.
