I'd like to share a little thought here that mostly gets forgotten. The fact that the nice art pieces you see floating around by all these amazing artists don't always happen so easily, sometimes it doesn't click and it's just a struggle, even if you're generally at a high level with your skills.

The Larxene I produced yesterday took three tries to get right. I almost left it for another day because I couldn't seem to get the pose, coloring, really anything to work the way I wanted..!

Sometimes you just have to start over, scrap what you've done if it isn't working.. ..and try again.

#sound advice #still struggle with trying to make drawings perfect #also struggle with starting over instead of making it work

Everyone's laughing about Mickey's 'oh gosh sorry pal' line in the Dwarf Woodlands comic, and I'd like you all to know it was my way of Disneyfying what I really thought he was saying... which is 'well fuck'.

Tumblr is doing some stupid AI shit so go to blog settings > Visibility > Prevent third-party sharing.

The news about AI scraping also reaching this nook of the internet (tho' I don't doubt there's been scraping already before this) has been going around and I'd like to write a little word about my feelings on it.

For awhile this direction of art theft in the art and writers communities has been weighing a lot of people down. I've seen many familiar faces stop posting at all, probably out of fear of their beloved work being thieved away.

I don't really talk about it, but many times it has deterred me from posting or even working on some pieces purely from a sense of melancholy and sadness. Every time news about the topic comes out it creates a new kind of wave of despair. I get the feeling, what's the point, if the AI created sludge is enough for the public, if such surface level imagery fulfills peoples wants for art, then what's the point of me sharing my work at all? To just keep posting to feed a machine.

But then I sit at my desk and draw something. Paint something by myself. And I remember, why I do art at all. The feeling of creating is irreplaceable, the joy I get out of the struggle of creation can't be taken away from me. The way one pours their thoughts, feelings and even the tiniest things that might feel so insignificant to oneself so candidly onto paper. And then. AND THEN. One might be brave enough to share those pieces to others. Post them online, show a friend, a family member. To show your vulnerable self to others, and those others respond. They comment, ask questions, perceive it and best of all... ..might get inspired, and create something for themselves!

I remember reading a magazine once, that had a page at the back with all these art works readers had sent in, and I though 'wow, these are great'! And that really inspired me to create more than I already was doing, and most of all to share it with people. That's why way back when I started sharing my art in online spaces. And I don't want to stop, because I don't want us to lose that connection. That human connection, because that's what sharing art is really about, our humanity. Sharing thoughts and feelings, not about generating the most technically perfect piece of art, void of all human error.

So, I'd like to say, do not despair (but keep fighting). There are always people out there to receive your heart.

Thank you for reading and sorry for the ramble, but I really do hope these words find you all well.

My twin made a funny crossover of Shinso from My Hero Academia and a fish from Spongebob.

I thought it was so funny that I made a sticker of it (also added many mistakes from my process)
