Okay, need community views on this.
Is it cheating to trace the outline of a living animal to draw an extinct one?
I'm really struggling with a mammoth and coelodonta, and to speed it up I've outlined from an elephant and rhino and then carried on from there, but some are saying it's wrong to do.

It's a weird thing to discover in your late 30's that you just cannot draw dinosaur hands and feet. 😅😅😅

I don't know if it's just rose-tinted glasses of remembering my youth, but I miss the world feeling kinder.
It was never kind for everyone, not even close, but it once felt like we were at least moving in the right direction for it.
That feels so long ago now. 😕

Remember!
Drybrushing isn't cheating
Contrast/speedpaints aren't cheating
Airbrush isn't cheating
Use whatever practical tools you have on your desk to make your miniatures look great!
The real value is in the fact you've made some art yourself. No machine can ever replace your own creativity.

I really need to put some forward thinking into how to do this whole 'social media' thing.
At the moment it exists in the same half-assed chaos that the rest of my life bumbles by in.
"Oh, here's something I've had significant time to plan for... guess I'll be doing that at the last minute!" 😅😅

Just watched a video asking if the same people invested in Gen-AI would be equally enthusiastic about an algorithm replicating their favourite sports team? How would they feel about a fake quarterback or striker? Would winning a match have the same impact if the celebrations were not human?

Sooooo...
What y'all workin' on?
I'm still mired in the trenches of artwork for Unlucky Dinosaurs.
It'll be worth it in the end, but damn me it's taking its time! 😅

Post a gif of your favourite game.
It's cliche, but Final Fantasy 7.
It was the game that really showed me that gaming wasn't just a game.
It could be a story, an event, a celebration, a tragedy, a journey, etc.
One of my favourite memories is playing it in relay with my best friend for 24 hours.

I don't know who needs to hear this right now, but... If you want to try painting, sculpting, drawing, welding... If you want to try sewing, weaving, macrame, embroidery... Take the time to start now.
Art is such powerful therapy. You don't have to be good at it to find joy.

If it seems like small creators are constantly on the promotion cycle, it's because we kind of have to be or we can't stay afloat.
I try to mix it up with humor, advice, silly memes, and so on but I always have to circle back to promotion in short order to keep the lights on.

One thing I'm really struggling to come to terms with as a designer, is the idea that I can stop and start again.
I'm doing more #illustrations recently than I've ever done, and there are some that are just not working like I want, and it's so hard to just pause, take a breath and start again. #art

Apparently I am incapable of drawing #dinosaur claws and feet 😅
I can sketch out and line art a dinosaur, but I keep getting to the feet and they all just look weird.

I guess I should get back on the social media horse and start updating again.
I've tried to avoid it, given that most platforms are a bit of a hellscape of worldly horrors these days and it's ruinous to mental health.
However, here we go...

Chances of @spenserstarke.bsky.social or @matthewmercer.bsky.social replying are low, but really hoping to clarify a #daggerheart rule. 🤞
Not Good Enough, says you can reroll ANY 1's or 2's.
Would this mean you can keep rerolling until they get a 3 or higher, or would pg.107 Rerolling Rule kick in?

You know what would be good?
If people could just be kind to each other for just a week.
Like, learn to talk to each other. Find out about your neighbours, strangers and others outside of your close communities.
I'm just so tired of seeing everyone hate each other. 🙁
