OKAY
SO
I'm going to do something silly and impulsive right now. It's called FIVE FREE SKETCH REQUEST SLOTS GRAB THEM WHILE THEY'RE HOT. Only one per person, unless it turns out that there's actually less than five interested people. :v
1. Manlypotato: "a bored cactus" [DONE!]
2. HiVoltage: "rockstar Franklin" [DONE!]
3. runedeadthA: "A werewolf on a motorcycle ramping off a pile of skulls with a explosion in the background. And he's carrying a bazooka." [DONE]
4. Ameablable: "Gallivanting Gargoyle" [DONE]
5. Sprytryne: "An angry magician with a cannon on his back" [DOOOOOOOONE]
These are just sketch thingies though, so don't expect me to pump out five Michaelangelo's, or hell just don't expect anything good, you may have seen what kind of shit i tend to make.
Also note: I reserve the right to decline any request for any reason, but will probably only do so if it's either lewd, uncomfortable or if i just can't visualize it (which is an extremely important step within my doodlings). On top of that, i can't guarantee express delivery, because i am a lazy man with lazy bones.
OKAY? READY SET
*crickets*
Update: OK WE'RE TOPPED UP NOW, i'm probably going to begin tonight. Luv u guise <3

rambling time
Good grief, it really has been a wacky time to be an artist on the intertoobs recently, hasn't it? NFTs appearing and making art theft more prominent than ever, "AI" art generators showing up with multiple major actors (INCLUDING DEVIANTART COUGH COUGH) jumping on despite very clear and significant ethical issues, Twitter being force fed the steaming fresh shits of a particularly deranged billionaire and consequently making people scramble for Twitter Except Not Twitter(tm) (which subsequently revealed many of these to be at least as problematic). It's just fucking exhausting, and this is on top of me having borderline crippling issues with my energy levels for various reasons. I just wanna post art and look at art and say nice things about art when i can manage it, i don't want to be fucking Sisyphus. Build something up, it comes crashing back down. DeviantArt as it is currently does the arting thing well enough, even though i wish they'd take a harder stance on generative images
Welp, shit's going on apparently
Twitter shitting itself and DeviantArt itself suddenly hopping on the AI art train, oy vey. Must admit i would direly have appreciated if i were asked before that happened, because while i'm not opposed to AI art as a tool and toy, i am opposed to artists having their voices stolen, essentially. I'm not gonna pretend that that doesn't sound pretentious, but the sheer amount of forgery that this can result in cannot go unmentioned. Will i get mad if people want to learn and recreate my style? Not at all! I'd find that quite flattering, to be honest, but it would be nice if that was done by like, actually studying my style and seeing how i do shit instead of just chucking my work into a machine and churning out an average. I don't even have a complex MO, shouldn't be too bloody hard to learn if you just know how to draw a sphere. :V But, i'm not gonna nuke my account for this reason. By now, it's not just a gallery, it's an archive. I do have everything on here saved locally (or
a NEW JOURNAL
It's been a hot minute, hasn't it? :V Two years have passed, and you'd think it almost impossible to summarise the vast amount of things that have definitely happened in my life since then, but it uh, really isn't, for better or worse. I graduated my study January 2021, decent grade, huge fucking relief. Unfortunately, this cost me a severe academic burnout, which i've been suffering from to this day. Unemployed for 16 months, mental health is still fucking shot and i'm almost physically recoiling at the thought of studying anything. Doing my best to stay positive but not gonna lie, it's kinda hard some days. Hasn't been all bad though; the keen of memory may remember that i flipped the furry switch sometime last year. More specifically, March 2021 was the month where i finally got myself a fursona, after years of distant flirting with the concept and thinking i'd never get one, but now prominently featured in my avatar. Honestly, it's been good for me. It's not about being a furry
Thoughts on Eclipse
SO, it seems that bitching about Eclipse is all the rage now, so i'm gonna add my two cents to the fire. First of all, i think it has both good and bad, and my opinion may be coloured by me being slow to adjust to drastic changes, so make of that what you will. I've already bitched about this to several of my friends, might as well bitch about it to a few more people. :V The thing here is that i'm approaching the end of my multimedia designer study, and am interning as a front-end developer at a better company that i could ever have fucking dreamed of, so i'm gonna try being mildly objective about this from a web dev standpoint, and naturally also spew my extremely subjective dumb monkey opinions out as well. SO, LET US GO: The design looks modern, for sure, and i believe that was among the goals to achieve. If not, what the fuck? But "modern" is an appearance style, not an indicator of whether or not a site actually works. To my great relief, Eclipse does work, BUT! It has flaws.
