A graphic design of a buff, aggressive looking sparkledog wielding a giant pencil. The dog is pink, blue and white, with black scene hair. He has top surgery scars on his chest. He is snarling, showing sharp teeth and red eyes. The sharpened tip of the pencil is drawing a shooting star. Text on the design says: REAL TEETH REAL WORK REAL ART #TrueRef There are a couple of meanings to the design. Firstly, the motive of a sparkledog was chosen because I, as someone who grew up in old deviantart in the late 2000s/early2010s, associate this era of online art with a lot of mental and creative freedom that almost feels lost to time these days. The fear of being cringe and the quickness of mockery has killed a lot of artists' drive to create truly unabashed, genuine work. To me, a sparkledog is a symbol of that youthful, almost naive creative freedom which doesn't know the pressure of shame. The second meaning is similar in theme - queerness. The impact and pride of queer art, of being true to oneself, is aggressively artistic, it's making it know that we are here and have always been here - and will always be here. The third message is a general anti-AI one. The dog holding a pencil, and the statement REAL WORK and REAL ART are referencing this stance.

I made this for @trueref.bsky.social's t-shirt design contest on the theme "aggressively pro-artist"

My immediate idea for the theme was a sparkledog, my full reasoning for it is written in alt text! <:

Drawing of an anthro character. This character is drawn as an ermine. He is white-furred, short, chubby, and dressed formally. He grimaces awkwardly, showing crooked fangs. He has a short, bushy tail with a black tip. In the upper corner of the image are three little doodles of the same character in a simplified feral form: one of him doing a weasel war dance, one of him with his mother (a much longer, elegant-looking ermine, and one of him perched on the back of a giant fat rabbit, gnawing on the bunny's ear in carnivorous glee. The bunny seems unbothered.)

Despite Theo really wishing he'd been born as an the same species as his mother instead of as a rat-person, an ermine-Theo would not look as elegant as he thinks he would look.

More people gotta experience the silver poodle costume guy

Page one: text on black background, “WAKE UP!”. Eyes open, a baby sea turtle with an eggshell helmet says, “you need to wake up!”

Page 2: helmet turtle says to a green baby sea turtle, who is waking up out off his egg, “we need to get moving.” CRASH! A cormorant breaks through the ceiling of their nest hole. Helmet turtle says MOVE!

Page 3: “when you’re out there, beeline to the water. Don’t stop. Don’t be a hero. Godspeed.” The helmet turtle kicks baby green turtle out the hole off a cliff onto the beach below.

Page 4: baby green turtle lands on the sand. The distance between him and the water is quite large. Another baby sea turtle is being devoured by a seagull and is screaming for help.

I dreamt of the beach (1/4)

1. Baskerville: "Okay, Brother Mine. I know I'm the only one between us who is still a detective..." 2. "But literallly everyone knows about your brush on Cambria." 3. "Stop. Please. Talk to me. That's as polite as I can say the order." 4. Footlight: "Alright, then, Overlord Baskerville. Let's talk about this."

"Looking so serious for someone who was about to run away like a coward"

"You're home early." The figure dripped out of the shadows in one corner, a black shape of a hiding animal morphing into a man. There was familiar medium-length blonde hair slicked back, a small frame that moved with utmost confidence under a black jacket and deep maroon shirt. It seemed like his feet hardly touched the ground, gliding forward like a ghost that Tyson stumbled back from, landing hard on his ass as it approached. “You- you-“ His heart thudded in his chest, looking at the wild-eyed face of the reporter he had met just days ago. “Get up, Mr. Pachis. You look like hell.” The older man crossed his arms behind his back, looking almost disappointed.

i have NO IDEA because some of the other movies have these weird art covers like this but none are as horrible as this

So I was checking in any Don Bluth movies are free on youtube and. Look at this bizarre and horrifying All Dogs 2 thumbnail art they're using

Every once in a while, I still think about this scene from the King of the Hill reboot, which was fantastic. And that comes from someone who grew up with the show.

"It's nice to be nice." Such a simple and effective message.

I'm always thinkin' about Weird Birds. It started so good.
