Starting the cycle all over again with a new Year of the Snake illustration, one animal per year over 12 years 🥲🐍 crazy to be back at the beginning again!

(New snake seems to be a lot angrier than old snake)

Never stop drawing!

I love revisiting old art. The first drawing is from when I was first trying to figure out digital painting and i remember being so proud of it at the time.

I started trying to expand where I find my references because of this. The entire website is unusable now because of AI.

Also, after using the website long enough, it’s just the same few images over and over again—it was really limiting what interesting reference images I could find through there.

Tiffany Baxter @ MCM Q-11 @tiffbaxter.bsky.social · Jan 5

Btw artists if you want to help combat AI slop sneaking into your research I am begging you to STOP relying on Pinterest for reference gathering. Familiarise yourself with the free online collections of museums of which there are several and how to search them effectively

Another new book acquisition. I was *kind of* hoping it would focus more on the visual development of the game like the spread with the bees here but the history/development of the game itself is very interesting too.
