nitewrighter on Tumblr: "Commissioning artists really makes you feel like a renaissance noble. Like you'll get an email that just says "Hey sorry some things came up but 13m working on your piece and here's a WIP" and suddenly you're wearing sumptuous velvets and eating grapes on a reclining couch like "Ohoho! Take as long as you need, my Orpheus! My riches and time are a paltry price to pay to bring your beauty to the world! I am a -Patron of the Arts!-"

don’t forget to destroy your clocks tonight, walk away from your mortgage, just start driving, you’re free

A traditional illustration of an anthropomorphic dinosaur playing basket-ball. He looks at the viewer while playing. The result of an illustration I did for a kid while explaining why this is better than the AI art they tried to do on their tablet.

I been invited to a friend's place and one kid was doing AI on their tablet. Told them that it's bad and the father asked me why. Explained and also said real art have more soul.

He wanted to make a dinosaur playing basket-ball, I drew this for him. They loved it so much, the dad paid me in the end

Who makes this stuff up 😭

I think it's a frog?

Counterpoint

I do find the finale of BREAKING BAD to be surprisingly toothless, but if you find him cool and aspirational during any point in the show's run, you are already a total media illiterate.

You can't make art with the world's dumbest people in mind or you'll never make anything truly great.

Selfie of me standing with Tim Jacobus, holding up a sketch that he made with a Goosebumps sign in the background.

I met a childhood hero of mine today. Tim Jacobus is one of the major influences who inspired my love for making art. I remember being beyond wowed by the Goosebumps covers. I stared at the covers and tried to draw them, just as much as I spent time reading the books themselves. (If not more so)

Today's sketchbook page 🌼 I'm obsessed with how the nasturtiums on the right page turned out!!

A pet rock even is a better emotional support sponge than a sycophantic ai chatbot 😭
Like the rubber duck test but with your emotions

I sympathize with people being lonely but there’s so many other healthier solutions (you don’t even need to be good with humans, a pet is amazing for non-judgmental emotional support!!)

I raise my hand to join you on this stance as a fellow bad thought haver who hates AI

i want to BE here for the memes when he kicks i just know it will be a crazy funny day to be online

Me staving off The Thoughts with "I refuse to go before Sam Altman does"

"No, I'm an academic who has struggled with suicidal ideation all of my life who understands just how important it is to have access to tools that can provide judgment and stigma free help. I advocate for all of the folks in similar positions that have received immense help from chatbots."

this is actually insane and u cannot use your own mental health struggles as a shield considering how chatbots/ai companies have driven multiple ppl to suicide

Do the feetsies tickle

New sketchbook! 🖤🌟

Old comic I'm still happy with

みんな大好きホンソメワケベラ！
本来は「ホソソメワケベラ」と名付けられるはずだったけど、記載する際に「ソ」と「ン」の読み違いが原因でホンソメワケベラになった。

っていう生物系では鉄板の雑学ネタ。擦り倒されすぎててソース確かめたことなかったけど、本当なんだろうか？

kill the imposter syndrome in you head because not only is there someone out there doing it worse than you, they're also using chat gpt to do it

Anyways.

Not beating the microslop allegations, he literally looks like slop on a plate.

That's how he probably copes with incomprehensible horrors! 😂

I aspire to exude as much confidence as this little Kinesin protein strutting along a microtubule while hauling intracellular cargo.

Look at that little guy go! 🔬🧪

a render of pikachu with sparkling eyes, looking at a birthday cake. a 3d and simplified version that's a nod to the birthday pikachu card.

a render of pikachu on a pink surfboard. he's got an expression that seems like he's ready to take on the waves. a nod to the surfing pikachu card.

a 3d render of a pikachu tied to a bunch of colorful balloons. he has a somewhat tired expression, and is waving to the viewer. maybe he's about to float away? a nod to the original flying pikachu card.

forgot to post these here yesterday for pokemon 30!!! hehe
