FurAffinity (a furry focused online art gallery) is looking for funding after refusing to comply with advertiser demands. And oh boy are some of those advertiser demands are pretty ridiculous.

A cosy illustration of a fluffy black cat stretched out asleep on a wooden wall shelf, beside three books and a trailing potted plant. The background is a softly textured blend of muted green and warm golden tones. White handwritten text above reads: “It’s nice to leave a little room in the day for nothing in particular.”

I didn't realize that another oldie of mine hadn't made it onto here yet! Some #FFXIV #fanart of my #Azem, this was back when she was still based off of my Au Ra, and was called... wait for it! Ceres. 🙃 The lore has changed, but I still love this piece! Done in #CSP

I realized I never posted the original artwork from my #sketchbook this piece is based on! Enjoy! I really love #fineliners. I want to do more, but "Fairy Woods" has raised the bar pretty high. Me? Intimidated by my own art? Nah!

I am not finding a direct answer via seraches, so can someone enlighten me when a person's profile says they are a "7D Artist?" I have found answers ranging form AI inspired art to a collective of disabled artists to exploring expanding dimensionality of painting. #artistadvice

Usually, Wednesday is an art day, but my yard needed trim work. By the time I was done my hands are so tired I can't even hold a cup without shaking. I'm only typing by resting my hands BADLY on the keyboard. To my remaining commissions - never fear! I will finish more WEHs tomorrow. /smoochies!

Looking for #artistadvice! I've been trying out Trello for commission tracking, but found out that I have to upgrade to let people view the board! I am not commissioned enough yet to warrant having a paid Trello. Does anyone have any #trelloalternative suggestions that aren't AI-powered?

While I am very excited to work on building my art pressence, I have made the big mistake that every starting off artists is warned about: I worked myself too hard. So I am instituting Tues and Fri as 'off' days to allow myself more rest and recovery. I may still draw, but no socials or comm. work.

Finished #commission! I haven't gotten to do a #halftone in a good while, much less one with a spot color. This really stretched my thinking, and made me realize that perspective is still a weakness of mine. Excited to practice and get even better at drawing! #digitalart #csp #stylized

A wind nymph floats over her pirate captain's desk caught reading one of his books - Treasure Island of all things. She's dressed in belly-dancer inspired clothes with long dark hair and a headband decorated with a feather. Behind her can be seen the brilliant windows that grace a captain's quarters along with a shelf full of booty and looty that her captain has collected over the years.

The image itself is primarily in black and white with halftones to create texture. A sepia spot color helps showcase the lighting coming from the windows behind the character, Gale.

Another fun time taking a #sketch from my #sketchbook, scanning it in, and #digitalcolor -ing it. It really is helping me understand lighting and light color better! Also, open to recommendations to do better alt-text to help poor vision visitors. #mixedmedia #fineliner #CSP #stylized

Fine liner drawing of a stylized short haired black cat sitting on a counter. There is a jewel backsplash behind it and a window to the right of the drawing with sheer curtains. Hills can be seen in the distance.

The colored version of the black and white cat drawing. The lightening chosen was sunset to play with blues and golds. The light in the kitty's eyes was changed during the coloring process to make it match the direction of the light coming through the window. The counter and cabinet have rich dark wood, the counter being yellow and textured. The walls and backsplash are blue, and the hills are now more green silhouettes than sketchy textures.

Back in 2014 and 2015, I drew this set of pictures. Kingdom Hearts was one of those media that gave me the push to be creative in new ways, and it was Hayden Panettiere's performance that made me fall in love with the characters of Xion and Kairi. May she find only peace beyond this life.

If you see this, post a knight 🛡️⚔️⚜

An Elezen from FFXIV sits in Elpis by a waterfall, dressed in her armor, a pensive look on her face as the glances to the side at the viewer. The colors are halftone and black and white like what is often used in manga, with majestic buildings visible in the background to the left of the piece.

Finished the colored version of "Fairy Woods" from my #sketchbook! Felt good going back to my old way of doing art - drawing traditionally, then scanning in to color. While the design at this point wasn't final, this was my first imagining of how @alenabaille.bsky.social's OC would look.

A fem-presenting fairy character looks at the viewer over her right shoulder with parted lips and large green eyes, her blond hair barely contained by a green ribbon at the top back of her head, allowing her tresses to fall over her shoulders. There is a green heart on her left cheek, and gold looped earrings in her delicate pointed ears. Her cheeks and nose are red with blush at being caught staring at a human. Her shoulders are bare, showcasing a sea turtle tattoo on the right shoulder closest to the viewer, and she is in a soft, green velvety dress. Translucent blue hued wings stretch behind her, the branches of the trees able to show through their sparkling membranes. Behind her, you can glimpse the mossy forest with its various flowers, and a golden green light shinning through the parted trees, hinting at a glen. A bubbling creek runs along the far edge, shimmering blue and green.

The last two days of my day job have been hard. My hands are now too tired to even tab, much less anything else. And of course, in the quiet forced upon me, I have had two REALLY good story/comic ideas. Sadly, this is the last of my typing today after I stopped counting at sending 50 emails...

💜Serina ceRES💜 @serina-ceres.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

Why can't we just... have noce things? One of the career paths I originally considered (before being convinced by everyone around me that I was too stupid to do it and listening to them like an idiot) was being a translator for comics. Fuck AI.

💜Serina ceRES💜 @serina-ceres.bsky.social · 09/08/2026

Tried this with the two near complete stories I have in Docs. No results. I think this user shared with others, which Google has said all shared documents are scanned 'for security.' I feel icky having messed with the AI even a little. Wonder how many are now testing to see if their docs are safe?

💜Serina ceRES💜 @serina-ceres.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

In the great before times, I didn't have the hand-eye coordination to draw using a drawing pad, so I would draw traditionally, then color digitally. This is how far I got using a piece I did in my current sketchbook for today's session.

I've been trying to restore my quick access macros in FFXIV and feel like I've just wasted an hour of my time. Going to play Warframe for a while and murder some Greneer to make me feel better.

You know the sort of friendship where you drop the rope and never hear from them again? Yeah, I hate that. I really cared about the person behind this character, but her life is too full to include me, and I have to be okay with that. #FFXIV #fanart #digitalart #characterart

Image of a slim Elezen woman, an original character set in Final Fantasy XIV, in a ruffly saloon-style dress, holding brilliant magic in her left hand, with lots of light and contrasts between the colors and shadows. Her hair is long, a little past shoulder length, full bodied but straight, and parted on her right side.

I don't get it. If "someone" follows over 5,000 accounts what is to say that "someone" isn't an AI bot? Combined with nothing personal, commentative, or just tongue and cheek and it being all business? Yeah, I would rather block than have my creativity slurped up by a clanker.

A little something for #throwbackthrusday - also known as an old drawing I did for a competition. What do you guys think? Is this 2018 drawing worth a redraw? Also, marked her for nudity since nothing is showing, but it's clear there are no clothes on.

Black and white with halftone artwork of a bunny moon spirit hugging the moon between the clouds and the water, constellations behind her glowing brightly. Her hair melds into the Japanese-inspired clouds above her while her toe touches the water, connecting the moon to both the sky and the earth.

A little #graphic I created that will be used as a watermark going forward for my posted pieces. I put a lot of personal symbolism into this piece, that you can find in the alt-text description.

The graphic is akin to a compass, but instead of a single arrow, a stylized dahlia flower, my favorite flower, with stained glass designs on the petals points to each direction, representing direction and beauty. Between each petal is the name of the artist, R-E-B-A ce-R-E-S in Times New Roman font in honor of her time spent studying English, as that was the standard font at the time. The flower itself and the ring around it is in rose gold, to show how precious art is, but with rose to show that beauty doesn't have to be monetary valuable, as rose gold often is valued at less than yellow gold. Atop the compass following the flow of the circle is the artist's website, rebaceres.carrd.co/.

Been trying to find my recent insomnia trigger and it's stress. Work stress is still attacking me even on my vacation, and yesterday a lot of neighbors shot off fireworks, causing me to overstimulate and - you guessed it - stress. Focusing today on letting go of as much of the build up as possible.

"Blue Curl" 3 hour-experiment. A piece inspired by the process I took while experimenting with "Violet Feathers." I played with both a darker skinned model idea as well as different lighting types and background color. I will be studying different hair types and textures in the future!

I just had my longest uncreative streak(3 days of not doing ANYTHING to enrich my artistic soul [research, sketching, reading art news, drawing, ANYTHING]). I see now why some artists quit their day jobs without a plan. I feel so much better getting back into my artwork this morning!

The hardest part about practicing and enjoying art is the inevitable 8-5 work burn out that bleeds into creativity. It's simultaniously end of month, end of quarter, and rush to complete tasks before vacation shutdown. My full time job is in sales. I'm tired, grandpa.
