Daily reminder for artists that:
-You are an artist, not an influencer.
-It's ok not to be active on social media if it pressures your mental health.
-You don't have to post online everything you do.
-Take your time and have fun, and I assure you everything will be better.
TW / transphobia , death threats
I'd like this to be the last time I talk about this topic, instead of enjoying It, for my followers safeness.
This is what I got in 24h over a drawing. And there's more. Now imagine when real trans people get in the way.
Just saw this and I need to share It everywhere. Follow this and PLEASE, of all places, never do It in front of people you want to work with. Always speak about you silly piece like you just finished the Sistine Chapel.
If you don’t need to make something polished: use the lasso tool + fill for everything you need.
I mainly use it for flats only when it comes to make a polished illustration, but I tried doing something from the beginning only using this after a little sketch.
Artists, what tip really blew your mind and unlocked a new dimension of improvement for you? It can be technical or more personal development oriented!
I'm not here to educate people that only care about spreading pure hate, and nothing more. If they want to educate themselves, they can do It in a proper way. I have been just blocking everyone and not caring much, but oh, death threats? That crossed the line.
I'm here to create content I enjoy, and people like me may enjoy as well. For that purpose I'm gonna mute the tweets, this one as well, and continue my life, caring only for the people that likes what I do.
I'm really sorry if this caused disconfort to any of you.
Btw, I'm fine 💖 that's not the problem here, don't worry. I just don't want more trans people and supporters getting hurt because people decides what I drew was wrong! So that is.
Be gentle with others and stay safe!
Link, right after beating Ganon at the end of BoTW opening his mouth for the first time in 100 years and talk to Zelda: Listen I'm thinking about getting top surgery
btw I love both versions so pick your fave!!
Oh, since I muted the tweets I wont be able to hide more arrasment comments there, or answer everybody, I don't have time for that... I'm really sorry. Feel free to mute It as well if you feel any disconfort!
some people are trying to spread hate towards trans people in the comments and I wont may able to hide all of them so:
♥ Remember you are loved, and you are perfectly fine as you are! You'll be safe!
Que hayamos pasado de "no hay trabajo para Juniors el nivel es altísimo te piden +10 años de experiencias tres trabajos AAA etc" a "lo que nos salga en el Midj0urney y que el becario pinte encima" en la industria a veces me da entre la risa y entre ganas de morder a alguien
@SnipSnipArt
Snip me vas a tener que perdonar,pero veo como esto escala y nadie te lo dice directamente aunque no te vaya a gustar, no creo que tengas razón en todo esto cuando con tus respuestas no consigues más que ponerte a la defensiva.Todes cometemos errores y hay que saber cuándo parar
Link is an avatar character named like that, literally to be the "link" between the player and the game. If a person sais he's trans, IT'S canon. The same as if someone says is cis. Everybody deserves to be represented in the way they want with this character.
I know we are forced to stay at home a lot of time this year and overthinking about your work is something that happens very often, so please take some time to rest and think about what you really want to do instead of getting frustated for numbers or anything like that!
Happy
#TransDayOfVisibility
day! I’m Ani, NB they/them who makes concept art and illustration. Thanks to my liking on writing characters I discovered a lot of my own identity, so I always wanted to make my art about representation and gentle relationships!
And besides all this stuff, even if he wasn't an avatar character, c'mon, you just hate LGTB people having fun with popular characters and it shows everytime.
I may add something since I've been the a similar state for almost two months after graduating:
grades are not worth of losing your hability to do art either. Art careers may be WAY too much and all this preassure can affect you both physically and mentally.
Important reminder that an artist raising their prices isn't doing it with the goal of being "yet another unaffordable artist"
We're doing it to prevent/lessen this shit
Drawing 12+ hrs a day to be "affordable" can lead to some of us losing the ability to draw at all.
For my FF7 and Kingdom Hearts nostalgic fellas, these new charms to celebrate Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth are up on my sh0p! Available until April 15th !!
✨ ✨
Every now and then I still get comments like these in every social media I've posted this drawing, just in case somebody following me thinks this is ok just a monthly reminder: I wont stop drawing LGTB characters even in fanarts

If you are in that "social media anxiety" right now, make a stop right there and think:
- What is making you happy, and what's not?
- What do you want to really achieve with art, and what can you do to reach It? Do your research of info as well.
It's hard, but you can do It!
The fact that the second image has a sunset background with no rim light and the character's light source is in front of her like there are two suns in that setting is something I can't unsee
AI dweebs out here being so deluded that when AI models get updated they believe its actually their skill increasing.
Also kinda funny how the "better" image isnt even really better, its just a different setting.
@RenataBalsan
thank you SO MUCH you all are making me really happy too ;_; this exactly is what I always loved about this character ♥ (Btw your cosplay rocks!!)
En mi umilde opinión, si un evento os fuerza a cambiar vuestros productos y la forma en la que los hacéis para poder vender con ellos, ¿No os deberían contratar para trabajar bajo sus normas en vez de que tengáis que cambiar vosotros?
If you only care for "the gays" when it's about drawing nsfw and cute art and making merch of your OTP but you don't dare to speak agaisnt LGTB+ issues irl...I know sometimes it's hard, but It speaks a lot when certain artists NEVER does a single thing.
Sometimes you just have to be a good liar and have a pretty face.
This is Chronos, the magic counselor of the kingdom. I’ve been working on his redesign for months and here he is, also with some expressions I had fun with!

I apreciate a lot that finally artists on Twitter are realizing (besides all the inktober drama) that one art by day just ended causing so much anxiety and pressure on this community that doing a monthly challenge wasn't worthy enough.
No new art for a while, but here are some tips I did some time ago for how I draw kisses, since some people were interested!
I don’t think it's good enough to be a tutorial, but here are the steps I follow to draw kisses, and how I’ve learned to draw them 💋

It's my birthday so I'm doing the birthday thing! If you can share my art as gift It would be good! 😳
I'm Ani, concept artist and illustrator who loves romance and fantasy ✨
That time I made a joke about liking the headcanon of a mainstream videogame protagonist being trans and drew him like that, and the whole transphobic gaming community went nuts and sent me d3ath treats over a week. But it made trans people happy so it was worth it.
Creo que es un buen día para recordar a todos los artistas que:
- SIEMPRE se paga por adelantado. Si no todo, un buen tanto por cierto.
- Antes de empezar cualquier trabajo debéis hacer un texto con vuestras condiciones para que el cliente pueda verlas ANTES de mover el lápiz.
The Home and Latest timelines are now just a swipe away for everyone on iOS, and soon on Android and web.
Tap the ✨ icon to pin (or unpin) the Latest timeline to your Home tab for easy access.
Un consejo atemporal que os doy, sirve para cualquier ámbito profesional pero sobre todo el artístico, que al final todes nos conocemos: se buena persona y trabaja de forma honesta porque al final todo se sabe y no solo te quedas sin clientes, también sin compañeres de trabajo.
What if we go on a date wearing both skirts ✨🌷
For context, Altair is AMAB and NB but doesn't know he's NB yet, so...they are exploring! I loved drawing Ari and him like this 🥺
If I can recommend only one thing to artists is: improve your workflow in a way you have to work less for the same $, because you probably are charging less than what you should for that comisión.
Use 3D models, photobash, greyscale, whatever that would help you work faster
