This movie is AMAZING dude. I don't normally like superhero movies but I think this is the best superhero movie I've ever seen: a superman who advocates for the oppressed. A superman who feels HUMAN. Anybody who is mad that this movie is political is stupid. OF COURSE this movie is political. It shouldn't be controversial to say that war, genocide, and xenophobia are wrong. This movie came out at the exact time where we need to be as loud as possible. And besides the politics, it also just has a really intriguing plot, great characters, and good visual effects. And a very good doggo.
I DO NOT ALLOW reposts of my artwork and I DO NOT CONSENT to use of my artwork to train AI.
I draw on a Samsung Galaxy S9 tablet with an S Pen on Autodesk Sketchbook.
I have extended the time to request a commission from me until January 10th.* Visit my shop at artistree.io/ecocat!**

I hope this message finds you well. My name is Aziz, and Iām reaching out with a heartfelt plea to help my family find safety and reunite with our mother. š
The ongoing war in Gaza has torn my family apart. My mother and newborn sister are stranded in Egypt, while I, along with the rest of my sex family members, am trapped in the midst of the genocide in Gaza. We have not only been separated but have also lost our home and are enduring unimaginable hardships. š
Your support can make a difference. Whether by reading our story, donating, or sharing our campaign with others, you can help us reunite, find safety, and start anew. šš
Thank you, from the depths of my heart, for your kindness, compassion, and solidarity during this difficult time. ā¤š
Hello all! Excited to report that my commissions will be open until December 31st. You can get some personalized artwork to gift to others (or yourself) this holiday season! Price information is below or you can go straight to my shop at artistree.io/ecocat
If you're not interested in my art, please also go check out other artists on Artistree or other platforms. Support small businesses this holiday season instead of mega-corporations. It makes for better gifts anyway.
You're all like, "what? I didn't even know she had her commissions open!"
Yes, I was waiting to do a public launch because I was wanting a close friend or someone I knew in person to make the first payment, so that I could check that the payment processing worked. And if it did, then I'd open it up to the public.
But that hasn't happened yet, and even if it did, I just don't have the time to do commissions. College is a lot more work than I expected. For all you kids out there: expect what is basically a full-time job. It can be a great job, but does take up most of your time. And I also work a job job now. So there really is no time in my schedule.
Also, I think my tablet is broken lol. I don't use it that often, because again, I lack the time. And so, I think it's gone kaput. It's probably fixable; I've had it resurrected a few times in the past and it had a new battery installed not long ago. I'm debating whether I should spend the money to get it fixed yet again or just save up for a new one.
So... yeah, that's my life update I guess lol. I'm not closing my commissions forever, I'll probably open them during winter break. If you're interested, DM me here or on my Artistree so that I can have your name down and I'll try to get back to you later.
I have started using Glaze to protect my art! Fuck off AI thieves!
Quick Q&A:
What is Glaze? Glaze is a program developed by the University of Chicago intended to protect artists from AI that regularly scrapes the internet to feed artwork (regardless if artists have given their consent) into machine learning programs that spit out art replicas, which has been causing artists to loose their jobs. Learn more about Glaze here.
Does Glaze require any special computing? Yes and no. Glaze can be run on Mac and Windows operating systems, given they fulfill certain standards. I tried using Glaze on a very old Windows 10 Intel Dell, and while it did technically work, it took two hours to run one piece and crashed when I tried to run multiple images at a time.
What computer do you use to run Glaze? I bought a gaming computer (specific model here). Yes, it was expensive, but I consider it worth it as Glaze runs very fast and effectively and I needed a new computer anyway. I draw on my tablet, then upload the art to my Drive and redownload it on my computer.
What if I can't get a good computer? Glaze has a program called WebGlaze, where Glaze exists on an online server. The developers recommend different ways to get access to this; know if you send an email it will take a very long time as I tried this a few weeks ago and they still haven't gotten back to me. They are very busy- remember that not only are the developers going through hundreds of requests, they are students and teachers as a full-time job.
Is Glaze foolproof? Technology is always evolving. AI is always getting better, and Glaze will never be perfect. But Glaze is being constantly updated to protect against newest attacks.
Not Glaze-related, buuuut why do Jane's wings keep changing colors? Her wings are mechanical and have interchangeable covers. And because I can't pick a color scheme lol.
[ID: A digital drawing of a black cat furry (my fursona Jane) with blue, pink, and purple wings, and tan and brown spotted tail wearing a white shirt and shorts and a dreamcatcher necklace. She is striking a pose reminiscent of a fencer, pointing out a long fencing sword with a triumphant grin on her face. The sword has cut a giant red snake clean in half, splattering multi-colored blood. Jane is framed in bright white and blue light, and the background is shades of blue, indigo, and purple. END ID.]
[ID: A screenshot redraw of Hazbin Hotel's Lucifer in the song "Hell's Greatest Dad". He is drawn as a cat, an orange long-haired siamese with a puffy tail and red eyes, and dressed like a circus ringmaster. He holds a cane with an apple on the top and a white and red hat with a snake, crown, and apple. He's shown jumping and twisting his body into various shapes. Orange-and-red letters in the background read "WAP! BAM! BOOM!" END ID.]
[ID: A drawing of a sad piglet, sheep, and calf eating hay out of a trough. The drawing is captioned, "40% of the world's grain is fed to livestock. While nearly 1 billion people go to bed hungry every night." The artwork is signed, "World of Vegan". END ID.]
Well it being black history month is reminding me how I wanted to doodle something like this down for a while. Since itās been a lil detail I always take notice of in drawings. These are very simple depictions but I hope itās enough to give the general idea! Feel free to reblog
[Image description taken from alt: Drawing Scars on Brown/Dark Skin. The left illustration is how cuts and burns looks on brown and darker skin. Top level is the common depiction of using light pink to color it. So no melanin? typically not how most scars look. Of course thereās the condition of raised scars or stretch marks which could look lighter! Next row is showing how they are when scabbing which is reddish and dark. Third row is an aged, finished scar. Burns are marbled in look. They're darker than the skin tone. Last row shows how a fully or nearly fully healed scar, it's lightly visible but still darker than skin tone. Right illustration is a torso with scars with a diagonal cut to show the difference between left and right side. Left has pink light scars, healing? Or just an oversight? Right has darker colored scars. Normal. Same applies to top surgery scars. For recent surgeries that alter the areola, it is pink as it heals (nipples are pigmented on dark skin btw so itās a weird look) After full care and recovery theyāll look normal (dark). End description.]

[ID 1: A screenshot of Bee-zelebub from Hazbin Hotel. She leans up against a spherical glowing honeycomb. She is a fennec fox furry but with hair, a tail, and a torso made up of a magical material similar to the wax in a lava lamp, in the colors pink, orange, yellow, and blue. Honey drips from the ceiling. She is winking at the camera. /END ID.]
[ID 2: A redraw of the screenshot in my style. /END ID.]
Mikey wanted to go to the grocery store. Raph insisted that they take extra precautions.
[ID 1: A tweet by @/BrennanBarbieur that reads, "I literally helped him find dee. What'd you do today." Attached is two pictures in a grocery store: one of a smiling middle-aged man with a purple shirt that says, "IF LOST PLEASE RETURN ME TO DEE", standing by himself. The second picture shows the man holding the hand of a middle-aged woman with a shirt labeled, "I'M DEE". /END ID.]
[ID 2: A digital redraw of the meme featuring ROTTMNT characters Mikey (as the man) and Donnie (as the woman). Donnie looks startled, while Mikey waves at the camera. They are drawn in a semi-realistic style with more realistic color palettes for their species. /END ID.]
