Been a bit, Bluesky. Can't say I've missed you. Anyway, here's some art progress. #art #watercolor #wip #berserk #mangasky #animesky #artsky

Watercolor illustration in progress of Beserk imagery. Godhand reaches towards the eclipse with Femto (Griffith) on one side and Child Griffith looking up at the castle through Gut's face. Shadow people in the foreground.

Image prompters can never be real artists because a genAI tool will never draw leaves on a tree that will be obscured by a house in the final drawing so nobody will ever see the leaves

Marginalized folks have fought this all our lives: oppressors divide us so we can’t organize against them together. (They’ve spent *generations* trying to divide the black and Jewish communities for example.) That’s new for a lot of y’all. Don’t let our differences turn us against each other.

If my art or journey ever inspired someone to try out art, I will always see this as a huge W (that's what the cool kids say right??) The world needs more artists! So go create, be deranged, draw your blorbos kissing, fall in love with being challenged and be proud of any small achievement 💪💖

Hello, #artsky #animesky & #mangasky Today I'm painting scenes from the most DEVASTATING portion out of all the animes and manga TO STAY IN GOOD MENTAL-HEALTH. That's right, I'm painting The Festival/ Eclipse scene from Berserk. In watercolor. It's gonna be neat. Here's a peek:

Sketch illustration of a screaming egg-face. It's the Egg of The King. The Behelit. A massive arm with a red symbol extends towards an eclipse. From Beserk.

Come to AZ, instead. Less racist Texas bullshit. You got desert and alpine and everything in between. Yeah, we still have a lot of conservative dipshittery, but we can change that. Eventually, the retirees and snowbirds will die off. Film in AZ. Fk Texas.

If we all just collectively decided to IGNORE HIS ENTIRE EXISTENCE, he would shrivel up and die within a week. But we're too addicted to traumatizing ourselves that we can't help it and we read and repost any wet-fart sounds that come out of him. Pathetic. Just kill him already.

so the thing is just because someone is not posting about every horror, does not mean they aren't paying attention or being active in opposition, and I do hope people can learn to read for other signs of resistance rather than demand people create a 24/7 feed of screaming it's actually not helpful

This. Artists can use past stress as inspiration, but current stress fucks with the mind on too many levels.
