Wise words! “Maybe the art was the friends we made along the way”

And yeah I’ve seen insane false positives now in every genre and skill level so it’s definitely a bunk site

Just:

Here’s a piece I did ‘recently’

It seems like all my work they say is either deep red or deep green
And it doesn’t matter if it was current or a decade ago

Def doesn’t help me with my feelings on my work
Or where I’m at

Been feeling extremely lost and not worthwhile for a long time

Ugh

Extremely frustrated by AI in regards to my own art work

I have been told that my work looks like AI

Someone showed me that you can use websites to ‘check if it was AI’

And I made this piece in 2015 I think
Long before AI generation was a thing

I doodled it on lined paper at my job at GameStop

The power is out

And I was staring at the art pieces I have in my home

I am lucky enough to have a beautiful large metal print of this illustration: Temple
By @jonathanvair.bsky.social

This is maybe my favorite contemporary piece by one of my favorite contemporary artists

Thank you

TW Body Stuff

So mine literally turned into a medieval flail in my body the stones were poking through it and stabbing my other organs causing internal hemorrhaging

So yours can join mine, I keep mine above my workspace

lol

Actually making progress on a painting…

Do I share a WIP? It’s in the ugly phase but I’m trying to accept the process
And like seeing roughs since ai is so rampant….

I want to see artist ‘warts’

But sharing my own??? Difficult…

But here I go!

Wish I had more to offer than the following image

But I’m always here to commiserate or distract

It’s a project I’ve had my eye on for sometime, made by the same person who did Emerald Seaglass, Nemo622.

I use a handheld device to play it and it looks so good!

Awesome work Nemo622

I saw there’s a new Bowser Painting going around from the new trailer

Here’s one I did as a Bowser’s Day prize for a winner a decade ago (wow time flies)

I haven’t gone into a game this blind in over a decade

I am so delighted

This game is a side scroller beat em up with Hades roguelite play
Reminds me of Golden Axe

The characters are wonderful

And I’ve had so much fun with it and it’s so nostalgic while being new

You can pet the mounts!

ABSOLUM

was browsing a game shop and saw a frog char

I knew NOTHING of the game and bought it just because of one screen shot

And the game is AMAZING

It reminds me of going to the rental store and picking something based solely on the cover art, that doesn’t happen to me and ever anymore

Look at that face

I let fate pick my starter this time

I did the preorder where you get a random starter plush (of the 3 available in this game)

Chikorita it is

Very old art at this point

But I saw a ‘share your couples art’ and I think this my only one really

Two pups in love

Her and my Collie growing up were the best doggies I’ve ever gotten to know in my life.

Their mark on my life is immeasurable.

Thank you for letting me know this beautiful girl and letting my mom meet her and creating Grandma Ball.

Love you Stitch
