cant tell you how bad it feels to constantly tell other artists to come to tumblr, because its the last good website that isn't fucked up by spoonfeeding algorithms and AI bullshit and isn't based around meaningless likes
just to watch that all fall apart in the last year or so and especially the last two weeks
there's nowhere good to go anymore for artists.
edit - a lot of people are saying the tags are important so actually, you'll look at my tags.
#please dont delete your accounts because of the AI crap. your art deserves more than being lost like that #if you have a good PC please glaze or nightshade it. if you dont or it doesnt work with your style (like mine) please start watermarking #use a plain-ish font. make it your username. if people can't google what your watermark says and find ur account its not a good watermark #it needs to be central in the image - NOT on the canvas edges - and put it in multiple places if you are compelled #please dont stop posting your art because of this shit. we just have to hope regulations will come slamming down on these shitheads#in the next year or two and you want to have accounts to come back to. the world Needs real art #if we all leave that just makes more room for these scam artists to fill in with their soulless recycled garbage #improvise adapt overcome. it sucks but it is what it is for the moment. safeguard yourself as best you can without making #years of art from thousands of artists lost media. the digital world and art is too temporary to hastily click a Delete button out of spite

It Really Saves Time...
Want A Quote?
When clients are in need of a quote for custom framing services, they often turn to Google for assistance. They will typically type in search terms such as “best custom framing near me” or something similar. This is a smart approach as it allows them to quickly find local businesses, like ours, that offer the custom framing services they require. Clients can easily compare…

“No, wait,” says Finnick. “Let's do it together. Put our faces right in front of his.”
Well, there's so little opportunity for fun left in my life, I agree. We position ourselves on either side of Peeta, lean over until our faces are inches from his nose, and give him a shake. “Peeta. Peeta, wake up,” I say in a soft, singsong voice.
His eyelids flutter open and then he jumps like we've stabbed him. “Aa!”
Finnick and I fall back in the sand, laughing our heads off.
When I recently reread the series, this moment was just pure gold. It was so funny and silly but it also felt so earned among the rest of the books and it’s such a great way to start off their alliance. They deserved this moment so much.
Also, it’s not mentioned that they’re making faces but I couldn’t resist and had so much fun with it. :D
EDIT: OMG I just realised I screwed up the reading direction! I have no idea how that happened and I noticed just when I was about to post it. Well, it’s a manga now?! 🙈

had a reverse "graphic design is my passion" moment when a woman came in to my place of work, saw a poster i made, and tried to convince me to quit and follow my dream of being a graphic designer. explaining to her that i do not want to be a graphic designer did not seem to change her mind.

Sometimes, a rebellious phase can get you into many sticky situations. Needless to say, 'sticky' is exactly the word for this situation.✨
@ivor-outlaw and their brain worms transferring to me. It's a blessing really.

Chug-a-lug, Donna
Oil on canvas, 32 x 22 inches
Ko-fi link if you’d like to help out.
Image ID under the cut
[Id/: Laura Palmer and Donna Hayward are sitting back-to-back against a calm mountain scene during the beginnings of a sunset. A large storm cloud floats behind them with four birds flying to the right of the frame. Telephone wires stretch from end-to-end of the scene. Laura’s left arm is lifted above her head, obscuring most of her face. In her right hand is an unlit cigarette pressed between her lips. A hand from the far left side of the frame holds a lit red Bic lighter, level with Laura’s hand. Donna is hunched over, resting her head on her knees and wrapping her arms around her shins. The expression on her face reads either boredom, annoyance, loneliness, or all three. Laura is wearing a black sweater and a small red skirt. Donna is wearing a purplish-white shirt with a deep-pink star pattern, and dark gray shorts./]

What Can PWCF Do For Me? Sports Shadowboxes!
Sports shadowboxes by Picture Worth Custom Framing are truly exceptional. The craftsmanship and attention to detail in their work are remarkable. The variety of sports memorabilia they can expertly frame, from jerseys to medals, is impressive. Their ability to create custom designs tailored to each client’s preferences is commendable. Overall, Picture Worth Custom Framing’s sports shadowboxes are…

Another fix, this time for Elena Armas’ The American Roommate Experiment.
There are several frustrating things at play in this one for me: the lack of a defined colour palette, the inconsistent style of artwork, the faceless people and overly realistic shadowing on clothes (indicating that the people in these drawings were originally just photos, traced over and filled with basic colour), the randomly cluttered in assortments of motifs and vectors… it gives it a confused, cluttered feel.
I tried to follow the good old rule of thirds here while also establishing a more structured colour palette, giving the author’s bottom third a little cityscape to provide setting context. I removed the pizza and the gramophone entirely, replacing them as a feature with the little brass apartment key and adding the paper manuscript sheets for the lead’s romance book as a more obvious and compelling motif. I shifted the text down and filled the top third with the legs of the two character vectors (to avoid having to try and make the faces look less empty and slender man-esque) and I switched out the colour of the lady’s pants to draw the same pink through the cover art and lead the viewer’s eye down the page.
What do we think?

recently I've been feeling like there's been a real rut in my art and that I've hit a plateau. so out of pure boredom I gathered up all of my physical sketchbooks I could find (12) and I decided to look at the very first one which coincidentally I also did when I was...12 years old. and looking at it and comparing it to my recent art it made me feel so much better about the plateau I've found myself in. eventually there will be a time when I look back on the art I've created now and say yeah I have improved so it brings me a bit of relief
