my computer and my little wacom because artists use tablets anyway and I'm "stubborn" to not do that?
I'll keep using my Jack Sparrow Photoshop, thank you very much.

RoryValArt 💛🤍💜🖤(VGen comms open) @roryvalart.bsky.social · 51m

based on what YOU don't want to do.
Also, flourishing as artists using pirated Adobe is a much bigger slap in the face than just not using it imho.
I'm not changing what I fundamentally feel good using just because some random person told me I'm "stubborn". What next? You're gonna tell me to forgo

1)I already struggle as an artist, I'm not adding more struggle by having to relearn the main tool I use to draw.
2)My version isn't bloated, glitchy nor messy and AI-free. Just get an older version.
3)I learnt it before it was bad to use it. If you don't use it good for you, but stop judging people

Why do people assume that any Adobe suit user actually pays for it?

RoryValArt 💛🤍💜🖤(VGen comms open) @roryvalart.bsky.social · 7h

Because 1) I've been using Photoshop since 2008 and I'm not learning a new program now
2) I have an older, AI-free version that's NOT connected to internet and to Adobe's network
and 3) what makes you think I've ever paid for any Adobe product?

More people should do the same tbh

It started as a sketch and it kinda spiralled into a full illustration
It makes sense for them to be making out in the forest as Fuli is a druid and Garreth is a ranger. They always find the softest grass to lie upon!

Not even Adam did tbh. He and Lute were the ones who hurt Vaggie and clearly remember that, but they were just as baffled to discover angels can be killed by angelic weapons.
Angels are taught they are invincible, so they couldn't see the answer right in front of them.

RoryValArt 💛🤍💜🖤(VGen comms open) @roryvalart.bsky.social · 9h

Last one. It's easier to say it's a mistake than to admit they didn't get something. Those people want to be seen as clever so they prefer the narrative where they're the ones catching writing mistakes rather than the ones not getting what is pretty much obvious but not stated out loud.

RoryValArt 💛🤍💜🖤(VGen comms open) @roryvalart.bsky.social · 9h

The fact that he remembers Vaggie, what he did to her, but was still baffled to discover angelic weapons can hurt and kill them, to me it says it's not a mistake but really no angel ever realised that.

RoryValArt 💛🤍💜🖤(VGen comms open) @roryvalart.bsky.social · 9h

Well she didn't ever even realise the flaws in her fighting style until Carmilla pointed them out. Likely the conditioning of a lifetime to never question anything. Adam too, as it was him and Lute who hurt Vaggie, and he was just as surprised when he saw they could be killed w/ angelic weapons

But the jobs they're taking are the thing we'd be doing if we really had robots doing the heavy work, so I really don't get why people support AI taking over jobs people WANT to do.

RoryValArt 💛🤍💜🖤(VGen comms open) @roryvalart.bsky.social · 10h

The ironic thing is that those people don't even work jobs that the immigrants are supposedly stealing either.

RoryValArt 💛🤍💜🖤(VGen comms open) @roryvalart.bsky.social · 10h

Because immigrants "taking our jobs" don't make the rich more rich, AI does.

I discovered Trick r Treats only recently but it's a perfect Halloween movie!

#PlotTober Day 13
The intro I planned is the first time they met as children, but the first actual chapter starts in medias res with them as adults, and will later backtrack through flashbacks to both their childhood together and adulthood separated.

13. Let's begin brainstorming the main plot points of our WIPs. Knowing what you know of your main character(s), what are a few potential ways you could begin their story?

Remember: Use the #PlotTober hashtag, engage with others, and have fun!

Second part of the pony series, now with Renfred!
He's bigger that most miniponies, using his lightning magic for his purposes.

#Hendiatris #OCsky #OC #MLP

Renfred as a MLP pony. He's a pale yellow pony with fluffy hooves, he's bigger than a regular pony. Both mane and tail are braided. He's a unicorn, his horn long a thing, sparkling with electric magic. His cutiemark are three thunders. He has his scar on the torso.

You know you're in too deep when you start making pony versions of your characters XD part 1/3

#Hendiatris #OC #OCsky #MLP

Pony version of Izra. He has blue-ish gery-ish skin and dark blue mane. He's a unicorn, and the horn and hooves are stained dark grey. His cutiemark is Izra's lower back tattoo.

Last but not least Maar's pony form!
He actually is half pony half changeling, so he lost the wings but gained a cutiemark (don't ask me how it happened, I have no idea). Since tiefling/malasorte are hybrids, it makes sense that he's not a regular pony.
#Hendiatris #OCsky #OC #MLP

Maar's pony form. He's a slender grey pony with holes in hears and hooves like changelings, but no wings and has a cutiemark that can't be seen clearly. His mane and tail are black, with his trademark white bangs on forehead and left side of the face. He also has his scar on the left cheek.

Going to try Daggerheart tonight so I'm bringing Fuli with me, in his blazing new outfit <3 Finally he too has his complete outfit (now his bf needs one too...)
I love my cute mute druid tiefling <3

#OC #originalcharacter #OCsky

Fuli, red haired tiefling with short hair and brown curled horns and heart shaped tail tip. he has red eyes, pale skin with vitiligo and some scars. He's wearing an orange and purple-reddish outfit adorned with orange leaves, brown uneven boots and orange vines wrapped on the left leg, black thigh highs and black shorts. the black high collar undershirt shows a little part of his permanent neckpiece. He's wielding a scythe with a wooden handle and creating orange/purple magic.
