I share a lot of art by a lot of awesome people. But I should be writing about dragons instead, because I really want to get this book published.

citing sources or not spreading anything without source/credit clearly stated (articles, drawing, photography, video, etc) is a pretty good habit to get into to push against gAI slop tbh

it's easy to fall for gAI slop because people are used to memes/viral content being divorced from its origin

HUMAN ARTISTS!

Use one piece to convince people to follow you!

An illustration of a person from the chin down. They have both their arms around black wolves, which are asleep and cuddled against the person. Two more wolves are asleep and piled on top. The person and the animals are all smeared and smattered with blood, indicating they had a great meal together.

Very animal

But that's just me. Interfering with one's ability to enjoy art, whether that's purposefully spoiling twists or endings or whatever else, is disgusting behavior.

I don't pursue spoilers but I'm not put off by them either. I *love* seeing how the strings are being pulled behind the curtain, as much as I love the puppet show itself. I'm also just as likely to forget what was spoiled anyways lmao

Deer will never stop being my hyperfixation animal they are just so animal

Three deer are lined diagonally across the canvas. The first deer is a pale skeleton, the second a dark apparition with coiling smoke flowing from it's body, and the third is a translucent skeleton. The deer are linked by a strange smoke that flows through their eyes, and the tines of their antlers are interlocked. This drawing was inspired by Pneuma by Tool.

A portrait of a mule deer lifting it's head towards the sky. An eerie green smoke emanates from it's eyes, nose, and mouth. #Stasanie

This character is named Marode and she belongs to seasaltshrimp.bsky.social‬
A portrait of a deer with a short grey pelt and a dark face. The deer looks emaciated and the knobs of her spine are visible through her skin. She has light blue eyes with no pupils, and pale antlers that seem to glow. She is surrounded by mist and thick thorny vines. #ArtFight #Stasanie

The Pokemon Sawsbuck drawn in it's winter form. The Sawsbuck is drawn in a semi realistic style with heavy fur texture on a dark grey background.

I was going to skip him but I can't have the other three apexes without Jin (he intimidates me)

WiP b/w stage of a digital art of a night city lit by warm beams of the setting sun, and above it is a starry, cloudy night with a nebula. On a mountain top nearby sits a lindworm dragon with long wavy horns. On the art are gradient maps used for coloring

I hope things only improve you, Sarah. It's exhausting but keep up the persistence. Stay annoying because you and your health is the most important thing <3

a small white dragon with fae-like wings trots along, leaving shining white mushrooms in its wake. The dragon is a tiny beacon of light in the overwhelming dark of the woods.

I’ve seen just one counter-protester at No Kings San Diego. He’s got a Trump 2024 flag and this guy has been following him around for probably an hour playing Benny Hill and circus music.
