Concept illustration for an old art test done for Dauntless. I didn't get the job, but I had a ton of fun designing this fishy guy, and the team was awesome and very kind (and it was PAID, which is rare!) 🐟

#art #illustration #digitalart

Concept art illustration of a giant purple fish monster, based off an angler-fish. It is on all four legs with large claws on both front and back. It has vibrant pink gills around its gaping jaw, which has lots of sharp teeth. It has piercing luminous green eyes and large green fins that run down its back and on its tail. On its forehead it has a glowing green lure.

Concept ideations of the angler-fish monster, the same pose as the final illustration but in different color combinations. Below are 'chunks' of the monster, such as its fin, leg and lure, bisected to reveal the meat and bone inside to be used for crafting purposes.

It's day 13 of the shutdown. What's Trump doing?

Negotiating a budget deal? No.

Preventing premiums from doubling? No.

Stopping 15 million Americans from losing health care? No.

He's meeting the Pres. of Argentina to reward him with a $20 billion bailout.

America first?

Corn Maze + Cauldron Contents 💜 for ArtFright2025

Ravenno & Ethan enjoy a harvest festival corn maze. Some of their friends have also joined them for the festivities, though the party has gotten a bit separated amongst the corn hedges. :3

🌿 #art #ocsky #ArtFight #ArtFright2025

Isometric style illustration of my original characters (OCs) Ravenno & Ethan in a spooky corn maze evening scene. They are holding hands, paused in their exploration to enjoy a small romantic moment alone together. They are encircled by a heart, bottom left. Some of their friends are amongst the others exploring the maze at this time. Mei (who belongs to @tiassa.bsky.social ), just right of center, looks on at a skeleton, who very unfortunately has nothing from which to steal. Ronan (who belongs to @teaweltzer.bsky.social ), top right, is divine sensing for any nearby treachery. Iluri (who belongs to @brinsonmarie.bsky.social ), top left, is shouting for his compatriot as a gelatinous cube oozes nearby. Aluin (who belongs to @brinsonmarie.bsky.social ) is on the other side of the maze, and is pretty sure he heard Iluri but doesn't know how to get to him yet.

cropped version of previous illustration focused on just my two original characters (OCs) Ravenno (they/them) and Ethan (he/him).

we’ll see how his mayoral tenure shakes out but i am convinced that Mamdani has the juice. not just the charisma to win an election but the temperament to govern and the measured pragmatism of someone who genuinely believes what they’re saying and wants to accomplish real things.

Please remember that the disgust people have over Christopher Columbus is not based on some modern, 21st century “woke” ideology, but rather on contemporaneous accounts of atrocities that make many modern genocides appear quaint in comparison.

Below, are the accounts of Bartlomé de las Casas.

But too many of the slaves died in captivity. And so Columbus, desperate to pay back dividends to those who had in-vested, had to make good his promise to fill the ships with gold. In the province of Cicao on Haiti, where he and his men imagined huge gold fields to exist, they ordered all persons fourteen years or older to collect a certain quantity of gold every three months. When they brought it, they were given copper tokens to hang around their necks. Indians found without a copper token had their hands cut off and bled to death.
The Indians had been given an impossible task. The only gold around was bits of dust garnered from the streams. So they fled, were hunted down with dogs, and were killed.

After each six or eight months' work in the mines, which was the time required of each crew to dig enough gold for melting, up to a third of the men died.
While the men were sent many miles away to the mines, the wives remained to work the soil, forced into the excruciating job of digging and making thousands of hills for cassava plants.
Thus husbands and wives were together only once every eight or ten months and when they met they were so exhausted and depressed on both sides... they ceased to pro-create. As for the newly born, they died early because their mothers, overworked and fam-ished, had no milk to nurse them, and for this reason, while I was in Cuba, 7000 children died in three months. Some mothers even drowned their babies from sheer desper-ation.... In this way, husbands died in the mines, wives died at work, and children died from lack of milk ... and in a short time this land which was so great, so powerful and fer-tile... was depopulated... My eyes have seen these acts so foreign to human nature, and now I tremble as I write....

There was a typhoon that hit western Alaska and has hit a lot of rural and indigenous communities to where whole houses were floated away. There’s a disaster relief fund available to help those that were affected by it where you can share and or donate

Tofu @tofupixel.bsky.social · Nov 2

I never posted this here, but I made a pretty big write-up over on Tumblr for anyone interested in learning #pixelart!
It's a guide on software, fundamentals, jargon and resources.

Since links are legal on Bsky I can share it: www.tumblr.com/tofupixel/75...
#tutorial

Hope someone finds it useful!

A screenshot of a tumblr post reading:

"Title: So you want to learn pixel art?
Subtitle: Part 1 of ??? - The Basics!

Hello, my name is Tofu and I'm a professional pixel artist. I have been supporting myself with freelance pixel art since 2020, when I was let go from my job during the pandemic."

Two images comparing artistic improvement, the left is of a rudimentary tree, and the right is of a statue in a wall recess surrounded by plants and dappled light.

"My progress, from 2017 to 2024. IMO the only thing that really matters is time and effort, not some kind of natural talent for art.

This guide will not be comprehensive, as nobody should be expected to read allat. Instead I will lean heavily on my own experience, and share what worked for me, so take everything with a grain of salt. This is a guide, not a tutorial. Cheers!"

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.
