ArtFight attacks!! For @icyangel12, CherrieBearie, @elsewence, and @consumerorstars

my art school was actually REALLY good about this because in our mandatory freshman year drawing class they had two sessions where they brought in a physical therapist and spent the entire class time teaching us how to not destroy our bodies doing art. the ones that they really stressed to me were the wrist extension one (i was told you can also do this on a wall if you have one, but to not put too much pressure on your wrist/overextend if you do; you should feel the muscles stretch but you should never be in any pain), the finger/thumb touches, and shaking out your hands. we were told that during extended drawing sessions (our classes were 6 hours long, for reference) you should be taking a short break to stretch at least once every hour. I usually don't do all of these, and depending on how into my work i get i'm not always as good as i should be at breaking every hour, but i'm pretty good about getting in a few extensions and shaking out every once in a while, especially when my pain starts to flare up. my pain is in my last two digits, which i assume is because of how i hold my pen, so the extension stretch has always been the most helpful for me and tends to give me some relief right away. everyone get more scared of hand pain right now and PLEASE stretch your hands while you draw it really fucking sucks when the thing you love starts to hurt you

Thayer Kismet for @elsewence!

first week of artfight attacks!!! Pulling out all the stops this year with something a bit different each time Characters belong to: @mantisconfetti @elsewence @monkeyballad Minty-mochi (not on tumblr), Dannkann15 (not on tumblr) and yurimonarch  (not on tumblr)

What's this? The red-lined bubble snail (Bullina lineata), a marine gastropod. Bizarre and beautiful, yes?

She lives rent free in my head now.

EDIT: If you're still having problems, it might help to switch from "Save/Save as" to "Export (as a) Single Layer". Just. Make SURE the box labeled "Expression Color" is set to RGB. I've been messing with this all day, and it looks like this combination of settings will allow exported PNGs to maintain their colors perfectly. To you. So far both Discord and Toyhouse still only display desaturated images and I cannot for the life of me figure out why

mag67 but i accidentally made jon more dramatic than he sounded

Tulip and Nicolas belong to @pinkyhaert Zango and Keho belong to @shinyzango Thayer belong to @elsewence Deimos belongs to ZaTt408 A delight drawing your characters!

I drew @elsewence’s Penhallow for Art Fight! What a cool design!!

I love this because like 99% of this kind of paleoart is patriarchal Man the Hunter type fantasies but these guys are just like “fuck it we’re outta here”

we have not changed.
