You're sharing pictures? Nightshade them. All of them. <3 Memes? Photos of your dinner? Cat pictures? Something you found with google? A selfie to celebrate the new shirt? Your holiday decoration? Nightshade it. You're not required to be an artist to protect yourself~! <3

Small reminder for all artists to add this nice paragraph to your commission TOS. Standard fee in my case goes from CHF 900.- to CHF 15'000.-.👍We ARE talking exclusive rights here. Those don't come cheap~.

So I went down the Furry AI art rabbit hole and came across this lovely infographic. TLDR: “Pay an artist for a sketch instead of a full piece and let AI do the rest so you don’t have to pay.” They’re literally encouraging financially fucking over artists now. Bruh 😐

To all the artists out there, who are unsure if they're doing the right thing with their lives: You're creating emotions and dreams from nothing but a chemical reaction in your brain. If there is anything closer to being real magic, you have to tell me. I can't think of anything.

Lately I see a lot of artists stop. It's not a loud stop, not one that stands out, no hissing or screaming. More... silently walking away while no one is paying attention. And then you turn around and the spot that was previously occupied by this amazing person is just empty.

Dear artists, lately, a lot of people ask me what style I'm drawing / what I call my style. Those people are looking for prompts to feed into generators. A good friend was very helpful, linking me the perfect term to tell them. Tell them your style is called "gråtrunka". 👍

Galaxy serpents grant wishes. But changing reality requires unfathomable amounts of energy: For each wish granted, the serpent devours a star. So, be careful when you tell your children to make a wish upon the first star they see at night. They might be heard.

Dear artists, don't make the mistake of giving drawings to your friends as presents. They will treasure them for decades and won't let you burn them when you start to see all the mistakes. Tried to give a friend a new and better version. Now both hang on the same wall. :C

I was asked how one draws a dragon. It's surprisingly simple: Draw any animal. Really, any animal will do. Furniture works too, but then you have to add eyes. Animals tend to already have those. Fail at it. Add scales. And maybe a bunch of horns. Claim it’s a dragon. Done.
