Red room.. #oilpainting #art

this video is hilarious because it fails so hard at every basic thing the genre of game it's trying to mimic requires, don't think i've laughed out loud in a couple months but this did it for me

It genuinely feels like the Oscar voters actually watched these movies this time. THANK GOD.

Today is #kidlitartpostcard and I almost missed it!

Hi! My name is Sheyla. 👋
I've illustrated several children's books, mostly for independent authors. 🥰
I'm open to new projects for 2026.

Found this old sketch and had to finish it on #Halloween Eve. Just in time! 🎃✨

👻 Perona "Ghost Princess" as a Mobian jellyfish. Originally from #OnePiece, she’s another character I reimagined in Sonic style.

Badflower - The Jester YouTube video by BadflowerVEVO

Oh, by the way, I figured I'd share this song. It helped me finish high school. I believe it is a good representation of heroes and talents being discarded, but those heroes have gone through much worse.

That said, I'm doing what I can to support as many of you as I can while also supporting myself and (very) slowly becoming one of you.

If only there was a way to prove that I didn't use A.I. to write this essay! 😔

you to order a commission. They could:
- Ignore your requests to change the sketch the way you wanted them to.
- Trace over other artist's art and turning it into a Frankenstein creation.
- Take your money and run!

However, I can't do this for everyone. I have to be careful who I give money to. It's not just secret A.I. artists, but also artists who put little to no effort into their 'made from scratch with care' art. This is usually the case when people come to you in DMs and ask (beg)-

allowing you to recover from a serious life situation.
*PLEASE*
*DON'T*
*RUSH*
*EVERYTHING*
Even if you can draw with your pen/brush behind your back, it's not healthy.
Besides, 95 out of 100 times, I will ask for a commission that requires a scenic background.

you. I want to order commissions not only to give some financial support, but also to prove that you're as talented as you say you are.
And when I do order a commission, I give you all the time you need to make sure that you deliver everything I asked for while also-

All of you are struggling financially. Some of you live alone in a small apartment, some of you may even be living in a shelter.
You're not alone. Even though art isn't my source of income (at least, not as a primary job), I only have so much money to spend.
But,
I want to help-

I WILL NEVER RESORT TO A.I. TO GET THESE DONE FOR ME!

But that's besides the point. I wanna address the other 🐘 in the room.

- Proper ref sheet of B. Bear.
- B. Bear cosplaying as other bear characters
- Compilation of B. Bear doing what he loves most
And my most ambitious idea that I have until the start of November to finish:
- Need For Speed: Carbon (My Favorite NFS) 20th anniversary poster and/or painting

However,-

I'm just as scared as all of you. I'm only just a baby, taking my first steps into the world of art, and I've been taking my first steps since 2018. I remember when I first drew my custom character. I only knew the basics of sketching. Today, I have a list of things I wanna draw-

you can't erase ink/paint, and finally, adding extra details to make your masterpiece pop!
You see another masterpiece that looks just as good as yours, but the figure in that masterpiece ...has arms that share the same hand.

make changes to it until you're finally satisfied with it, begin the outline process (or if you're a modeler, sculpting the first few shapes), applying the first of many colors, which is especially hard if you're doing all of this in a physical canvas because-

(Thread)
There are cruise ship loads of talented artists out there. Lots of people whose skills are on par with their imagination. I admire every single one of you who can prove that you can bring your thoughts to life from scratch; lay down your ideas in a sketch/illustration-

I take a very long hiatus from social media and I missed the fireworks and cake from the day you achieved this milestone. I could've brought pizza to the party, dammit!

For real tho, congrats on achieving 300+! I reposted this just now.
Also, no free art for me; I'm good!

I am a nobody, but I'll repost this anyway, hopefully someone sees it before the deadline.
And even though it's advertised in BOLD, I'm not gonna ask for free art. I always see it as an opportunity to take something and forget where you got it from.
So with that said, here's a FREE repost from me!

Black Friday! 🔥

These are the last commission slots of the year before I close!
I’ve dropped the price for 10 slots, or until December 1st, whichever comes first.

Full info link will be in the comments.
Thank you so much for the support! 💛

I wish it was that simple, but my employer offers a really good apprenticeship program for what I wanna do for a living; they only offer it to full-time employees and slots are very limited.

I like galaxy settings almost as much as I like nighttime settings! And you continue to amaze me! 😁

Are people calling you out on that? 😮

I have the same energy. My job prevents me from relaxing enough to start my own projects. 🫩

That makes my point 100x more valid, they are among the smartest dogs!
I personally love them for being smart and fluffy in one package! 💓

Dogs have the intelligence far beyond what the human mind and A.I. can process 10 times the amounts of cells there are in a 10,000 acre sunflower field.

Is that a Border Collie? 😱

I haven't seen the Oscars yet, but I did see this movie before the Oscars aired.

It deserved whatever it won! 🏆
(And this drawing is good too)
