thinking about that one time 15yo me was in america and i ordered a medium sprite and what they gave me was most certainly Not a medium in any sense of the word
"but i'm not fast" - then draw slow. "but i don't draw often" - then draw when you want. "but i don't draw good" - then draw bad.
you do not need to be Fast or Good or Constantly Churning out Art. do it your way, do it passionately. we all grow at our own pace. you will grow too
seeing posts on my tl about artists mad that other artists using similar poses,,, you cannot own a pose,,,, you cannot own a concept like "x character crying",,, stop this
"but i can't draw, ai is just easier-"
then LEARN! i do not care if you're 15 or 51, it's never too late to sit down and dive into the endless wealth of art tutorials available FOR FREE online. there are SO MANY affordable tablets out there these days, GRAB ONE AND START DRAWING
I JUST WANT AN ART SITE WHERE I CAN DISCOVER NEW ARTISTS WITHOUT HAVING TO PVP AN ALGORITHM ON THE DAILY OR WORRY ABOUT THE DEVS TRYING TO MAKE MY SHIT INTO NFTS IS THIS TOO MUCH TO ASK
as an artist who handles 100% of his work over email:
- you don't gotta be formal. ever.
- i love emoji spam
- you could send me a blank email with the only attachment being the markiplier kingpin meme with your question written in impact font on it and i wouldn't even mind
If commissioning someone via email is too scary, just pretend it's not an email. I promise you the artist you want to get art from isn't gonna care how you format your messages.
i cannot stress enough how important it is to add terms regarding nfts / crypt0 into your TOS.
if you're an artist and you don't want your art used for any of that, PUT IT IN YOUR TOS. or even better, put it directly in the terms section of the invoice itself:
can confirm that comments boost better than likes / rts as of late
that said: i'm givin u all permission to keysmash cryptic emojis on my posts because writing comments is Hard and sometimes even i dont know how to compliment my artist friends beyond "ART GOOD PLEASE MORE"
just remindin; PLEASE don't just send an artist "hey" or "hello" or "can I ask you something" without following up with what you want to say/ask. most artists don't mind engaging people or answering questions!! but we HATE having to pry conversations or inquiries out of people
about an artist who didn't think he'd make it to adulthood, who never thought he'd manage to turn his art into a career, and who never thought he'd feel comfortable in his own body
i've grown and found myself, and i couldn't be happier ๐
lmao they deleted it
tldr: instead of getting a Real artist, wacom decided to use an art theft generator in their art tablet ad to advertise to artists. yknow. the people who Draw Art. the vast community from which they could have hired Anyone to draw the ad art to begin with.
who was the moron that thought promoting an art tablet brand with art theft generator images was a good idea
anyway i have both huion and artisul tablets and both work just as well as the wacom equivalents. you pay for the brand name when you get a wacom, not any actual quality.
[cw residential schools]
"Experts believe over 10,000 children died"
10,000.
10,000 children who couldn't seek help. Who were separated from their families. Who were forced to abandon their heritage. 10,000 people who could still have been here Today. This is heartbreaking.
UPDATE: Over 750 unmarked graves were found at a former forced assimilation school for Indigenous children in Saskatchewan, Canada.
The Catholic Church running the Marieval school removed the headstones. Experts believe over 10,000 children died in such schools across Canada.

#IndigenousHistoryMonth
. i've linked a bunch of charities/threads below. please check them out, read their stories, and donate where you can. if you're indigenous, feel free to drop your k*fis / commission posts / g*fundmes
STOP DOING THE WORK BEFORE YOUR CLIENT PAYS FOR THE WORK TAKE THIS FROM A GUY WHO USED TO DO CONCEPT SKETCHES OF BATCHES OF 10 - 20 TELEGRAM STICKERS /BEFORE/ CLIENTS WOULD PAY FOR THEM MAKE YOUR CLIENT PAY A NONREFUNDABLE DEPOSIT UP FRONT AT THE VERY MINIMUM JUST DO IT
the way i interpret responses after i send a client their finished art:
kjdfkdf ohmfg i LOVE IT THANK YOU OH MY GOD ๐โจ๐ญ = best outcome! they love it!
i love it, thank you! ๐ = good outcome, they like it!
thanks = they absolutely despise it and i have failed as an artist
"What if I make the artist uncomfortable with too many compliments after they send me my commission? :( "
This is BY FAR the best reaction i've had after sending a finished piece. PLEASE send as many keysmashes, compliments and random rambling as you want, we LOVE this shit
