Make art that you think is fuckin sick as hell. Make the shit you never thought you could that you always wanted to see. Beat your insecurity to death and fight to become your own favorite artist.
Bluesky is funny because I can’t recall any other platform where its growth is explicitly tied to the collective hate for one person.
Scam PSA:
Heads up folks, there are now bots on here who will make clone accounts and dm you asking for donations if you offer support to real people. New platform means you are less likely to have dm history with someone so even if you think you know them, just be extra observant.
This is the really big news here imo, its not just the sora app thats gone but chatgpt wont be doing videos either. This is a massive hit to openAI. Hopefully this hit causes internal bleeding that kills them as painfully as possible.
The thing thats so insidious about using AI this way is that one of the main ways artists get hired are studios looking for art references and they find us and reach out.
This is removing a major avenue to get work if they can just generate nameless derivations of our ideas.
Not content to just steal from the real deal, this game is also ripping off fan designs 😬
I've wanted to paint a Zelda piece for years but I had to wait until I had an idea truly worth doing.

The way profit maxxing corpo culture has invaded every form of art through algorithms pushing people into daily posting is really weighing on me lately. Efficiency and regularity of making "content" being prized above all else feels so grim, man.
I got the chance to do updated artwork of the Gem Dragons for the new book: Dungeons & Dragons The Book of Dragons. I worked waaay too hard on these, I'm extremely proud of them.
This is dragon 1 of 5
AI grifter scammed their way into Dragon Con. The staff had them escorted out, lmao you love to see it
Man its like just so invasive and gross feeling to see "Edit Image" appear over other people's images. Musk decided to give us the only kind of gift he can for christmas, sickening disappointment. Best of luck out there folks.

I worked extremely hard on this. Please take a look.
The most annoying thing about starting on a new platform is finding all the people you followed elsewhere. So lets get an #artshare going. Please post 4 artworks in the replies here so others can find you!
For all the new artists joining up you can in fact create a feed displayed on your profile with just your art or whatever else you want. Here is my art feed for example
This feature is a genuine step up from X the Everything App.
