A commission price sheet featuring four styles of commission (sketch, lineart, digital color, and analog color) each with a price next to them ( $30 / 50 / $80 / $160 ). The character portraits feature a young woman with orange hair in a yellow outfit. She's poised on one foot with a staff above her head. Her tail swishes behind in an "s" shape. Above the portraits is the headline "Choose your commission style!" and below is additional information that reads: Above are starting prices for single character commissions with no or simple background. Complicated details (armor, intracate or patterned clothing, unusual anatomy) may cost extra. More characters and backgrounds may be added for an additional charge. Most subjects are accepted, but no loli, shota, gore, vore, hate or harmful subjects directed toward racial, religious, or sexual minorities. NO HARRY POTTER. Contact the artist (The-Z) for additional info and a more accurate price quote. Physical art may be purchased for an additional fee (often comes with gifts).

It seems like a no-brainer, but it’s an easy thing to overlook because it’s very convenient to accept those AI summaries. You’re clever enough to understand it’s a trap and what’s at stake. Don’t let Wiki die because greedy pigs shove their snouts into everything.

wikipedia's data shows that AI is siphoning traffic away from the site, which is a danger to its sustainability. ironically Wikipedia is more important than ever to users who want reliable information instead of slop, and to AI companies that need it for training data www.404media.co/wikipedia-sa...

I met my partner playing Vampire LARP back in the 90s! We were both Malkavians. Mine was a Victorian era noble trying to convince everyone fairies are real (and they are in WoD XD but no one believed her) and his was a child-like mute who communicated via a notepad. He was also not believed. 🤭

Long have @almasham.bsky.social and me been friends and long have I known her love for #Vampire :The #Masquerade, and specially, Clan #Malkavian , so when she asked me to do one of her characters I was super stoked!
Have you played any of the World of Darkness games? Which one is your favourite?

A watercolor and lineart image in which a young blond in a vest (Zidane from Final Fantasy 9) is dropping upside down out of a tree with a mischievous smile startling another character with white hair dressed in a slutty cropped vest and bell sleeves over a belted shirt and thigh high boots (Kuja). Lineart of a samurai penguin standing amid a forest scene featuring trees, stand of bamboo, grass, a brazier, and a tiered castle behind him. A scroll on the left informs "Jubei of Ninja Monkey.com by Raven's Dojo 2001". The artist is Raven Perez. Actually, I can't remember if this was a commission or an entry for a monthly character contest. A soft digital chibi portrait of a blond guy in a loose, high collar jacket. He wears his goggles around his neck over a yellow shirt. His pants are a dark gray and hang in cuffs over his gray and blue shoes. His right hand, held loosely to the side, is surrounded by a mystical glow. This is a commission of Layle from Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers by artist Fwd on Deviantart A soft digital painting depicting a chibi version of a sweet looking brunette staring skyward. She is dressed in a pink sleeveless tank top. Separate brown sleeves cover most of her arms. She wears brown shorts and footless socks (do these count as chaps?!) over sandals. This is a commission of Belle from Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers by artist Fwd on Deviantart

A lineart image depicting muscular gorilla anthro fella in a vest and pants seated criss-cross applesauce on the ground. He is bracing a sword across his shoulder and there are leaves cascading through the air behind him. A digital lineart piece of a woman in a long coat and skirt with generous, split sleeves. She is standing with one arm held at about chest level and one arm behind her back. Her thick hair is gathered back in a band to curtain her back. Dynamic digital lineart accopanied by swoops of color in purple and blue in which a girl with a dolphin-like fluke does a somersault. She is clothed in a cropped hoodie, underwear, and combat boots with socks. Little else covers her except for yellow goggles over her eyes. She seems joyful. Soft digital art depicting a monkey-tailed young woman in a long white robe with her hair drawn up in sidebuns. Her orange tail curls behind her. She holds a pistol in one hand.

Not looking to embarrass a friend, but was playing Conan Exiles when they asked, "So there are Conan books?"

Initially I was, "How do you not know?" But this is how you learn! Never be afraid to ask because now they've got a stack of peak sword and sorcery ahead of them!

Seek an ye shall find!

Took some time to do art for me. I was excited to see more official art of some of my favorite Final Fantasy characters with the trailer announcement of Dissidia Duellum. Marcus and Blank don't appear in the game, but seeing Zidane's new redesign made it feel like reuniting with an old friend. #ff9
A digital sketch of three male characters standing or seated around a bench. Marcus (top left), Blank (top right), and Zidane (center) from Final Fantasy 9 are drawn in more modern clothing.

I just want you to know I watch your episodes with my adult kid and we really enjoy discussing the popularity of certain furs, when I first saw some of the old commercials, and how society’s perception has shifted in various ways regarding furdom.
Thank you for giving us something to connect over.

Serious shoutout to furries for being the internet's #1 art patrons. At a time when interest in original and niche art is at an all time low and many other art spaces are gone, I appreciate you guys showing up to boost original works, buy art pieces & comms, & get vocally invested in stories & OCs.

This is a really good approach. Also, take time to play with your art. Have fun with no goal in mind. Relax. Don’t force it.
