Art for 'Meriaun' for Art Fight 2024.

I was honoured to draw this little creature. She's a species called a "Drakhnid". So cute!

Cartoon artwork of a dragon-like creature posing, coming out of a frame. The creature is coloured in a light purpleish-beige colour and a darker blueish grey. She has a sort of 'masked' face with cute fluffy ears. She has feathery wings, and four sets of arms that you can see. The outer two are paws, and the inner two are insectoid. She is looking wistfully off into the distance. The background shows an off-white colour with light brown squares like you might see in a school workbook.

Doing a guide for the Discord mess- (As I did on Tumblr!)

Discord has added a feature that lets other people "enhance" or "edit" your images with different AI apps. It looks like the image below.

Currently, you can't opt out from this at all. But here's few things you can do as a protest.

An image that shows a Discord screenshot, where a digital illustration posted on the desktop site has an icon on the corner. When clicked, it displays four different AI apps, that let you "modify" the image in different ways.

With everything going on I needed to do something cathartic, and really wanted to try a WWII-style poster with Sheena.

I really love old poster graphics from that time period and figured it was a fitting theme!

There’s nothing like getting in the zone and making progress on the piece you’re drawing…. and then your tablet pen says 5% remaining.

Back in my day..

I mean seriously, this is how we did it on DA too, no algorithms in 2008!

Fox Popvli @foxpopvli.bsky.social · Feb 10

"Bluesky having no algorithm" Is NOT a flaw.

All it takes to find new artists is to just visit an artist's page, look at their likes and/or reposts and see if you like some of the artists. You need no algorithm doing it for you.

That's how Tumblr had been uniting artists, until its fall in 2018.

I’m seeing a lot of soft takes from industry mutuals at the moment that we shouldn’t be so hard on those who use generative AI because it’s becoming harder and harder to resist.
Wrong. Betraying your ethics (and your peers) because ‘everyone else is doing it’ does not suddenly make it acceptable.

Old Art - Doggust 2022

I didn’t make it all the way through Doggust in 2022 but these were some of my favorites!

#verymerryscribbles #digitalart #artsky #doggust #dogart

A digital portrait of a dark brown Tibetan Mastiff done in the style of pastels on a pastel green background. He is facing forward and has small black eyes, his wrinkles and folds giving him a nervous expression. His small ears are hidden by his fluffy fur which spikes out in all directions.

A digital painting of a white Clumber Spaniel dog done in the style of chalk pastels. He has some brown spots and brown long droopy ears. He is facing forward and lying on his belly with his head between his front paws, looking up to the left inquisitively.

Digital artwork of a tricolor Shetland sheepdog standing and facing toward the left. Her light brown eyes are looking up to the top left corner, with a smile on her face.

A digital painting of a dark brown curly coated retriever dog on a teal background. She is sitting and facing slightly to the right, her amber eyes looking up toward the right top corner of the screen. She has a pink nose and her mouth is slightly open, showing a tiny bit of her pink tongue.

OMG such a good idea. I mostly draw ferals since I’m out of practice with anthros butttt definitely not a fast enough artist to flood it xD

This is exactly why I don’t put the feral hashtag on my art.. too scared to put it amongst all of… that.

Man nothing gives you imposter syndrome more than trying to price your own art for comms.

Omg I’ve started to finally get in this habit.. but then it makes me rework my sketch over and over until I’m spending 20+ hours on just the initial sketch. XD
