BIG SAME I'll read the whole wiki if I'm excited enough and then dive in gleefully to see how the actual execution was

You don't want a highly realistic collaged piece that doesn't show the characters or setting accurately because the publisher never let the artist read the book they were hired to design a cover for? You don't want an unedited stock photo vaguely related to your genre? What gives?

also going to try to use bsky more for this so-called microblogging thing people talk about, instead of something i put art on sometimes and forget otherwise

it's time to lock in and do 3 weeks worth of homework for 3 classes so i don't have to do it when it's actually due later (i like to dive in and get it done way ahead of time)

getting slightly carried away with the pyrography project (60% of the way there!)

So it's already time for me to reorder some daki designs that I'm out of.
Would anyone like to sponsor a particularly cursed one to bring into existence?

DIABOLICAL

This was me when I was working for a print shop and got a 30% discount in a low cost of living area and the price was still 4x higher than if I ordered off ka-blam (still domestic but not local)...Feels bad to outsource but if you have no other sustainable options, do you just like, not make stuff??

Did this come with the kind of sentiment that it must be so nice to draw pictures all day for a living? How cute and cozy that must be, right?

That is such a lovely and diplomatic way of putting it, wow (We are def going to avoid the Dubious Choices all three of these have made in their respective stories tho)

It's going to be interesting applying to jobs where they're going to ask me what got me interested in a teaching career and I have to not infodump about these three
(Dewey from School of Rock, Xeno from Dr. Stone, Qifrey from Witch Hat Atelier)

Hopefully it's quicker if you're able to have your appt bumped up closer over time as people's schedules change! That's a really long time though aughh

Finally, someone who can say "well, it's not rocket surgery" seriously and as a joke

Bosnia does this exact same thing too but with the Cyrilic, and public officials have so much open disdain for the diaspora that only knows how to read Latin script (they use both). Like we're illiterate

Like yayyyy nice passive aggressive nationalism red flags you got there, pals

Get more from Diantimony on Patreon making lots of art!

Streamlined Patreon so now it's just a $3 tier with a ton of sketches and concept art, AND weekly timelapse art videos.

Hoping this makes it both more accessible to anyone who uses it as a way to support my work, and less stressful for me to keep up with. :>

Friend could still use some help, even signal boosting would be a huge assist right now

i didn't know this was a thing until recently!!! people like what they like and reading is a good thing overall but the amount of people i see saying a story is bad because of plot/setting/character/moral complexity is wild dude

The ones here with water are Oregon coast or Multnomah Falls, and the last one is a field in KY I used to play in that got stripped for housing development a few years ago.

Started doing some little landscape studies in watercolor while I'm in meetings or playing TTRPGs online. A nice way to document places I've been to. This first set is Bliha and Kozara in Bosnia. 🖊️

feeling the desire to leave more social media, even with as little of a presence it has in my life atm...

the goal is to just have a neocities art gallery i update every so often, and chat with friends using something else. there's just too much going on and everywhere wants too much information

I didn't see this blog post earlier so thank you for sharing it again!!! Got to read it over a break during work, was almost late to get back to work actually cause it pulled me in, haha

See you at the next meetup! I'm uhhh caught up on my queue so I'll probably bring some art stuff to work on next time, haha

Did a piece of art for the @sthfemininomenon.bsky.social project! Had a blast drawing one of my favorite Sonic characters for this, Wave the Swallow! Go check it out here, preorders are open until March 31st!: sonic-femininomenon-zine.bigcartel.com

thinking about doing a crowdfunded "i want to draw crayon art of every pokemon" project soon... not on any big platforms for that but probably ko-fi funding instead 🤔

i really, really want to draw them all in a silly way, and maybe make little books or posters out of it per gen :>

i forgot to say here but this is for comics! volume 1 of random text-only series would be way more intense, and takes way longer, haha (and my list is already super long for that)
