sorry if i still owe anyone commissions and sorry for not posting overall, ive just not been well

Haii, can I ask what brushes do you use? Absolutely adore your art and especially your Beetlejuice 💖

hiiiiii :3 i use Marc Brunet's brush pack, but mainly this one for sketching and lining, my colors are lazy and flat so i just use default bucket tool

i use this one for blending

those are my main go-to, however, i often switch around a billion brushes out of boredom

im still getting lots of notes every day despite me not posting, and i just want to thank yall for support, it means a lot to me

They are already selling data to midjourney, and it's very likely your work is already being used to train their models because you have to OPT OUT of this, not opt in. Very scummy of them to roll this out unannounced.

[writterings]

here's some instructions for anyone who doesn't know how to opt out:

login in on desktop, it's not available on mobile yet

click "Account"

click on your blog

go to "Blog Settings"

go to "Visibility"

Scroll down to the bottom option

turn the toggle ON, not off

you will have to do this individually for each sideblog you have too, no way to do it for each account in one go

im glad i already only make/post horribly cropped unfinished poorly drawn characters floating in the void, maybe that will break this ai bullshit

I don’t know how comfortable it is to read this here, but you asked to write to you and I decided that I would write...yes

You are also not required to respond to this ask, as it is not a question. My day is going well, but I feel like I'm starting to slip back into loneliness again. It so happened that I and my interests were always important only to me. And that's fine, but recently I shared one of the concepts with a friend... and only after a while it turned out that he didn't like it all. Again, I don’t understand why they lied to me. But this is not important, because these events are just a mechanism that serves my loneliness and...ugh. You also need to speak out, right? when your head is full of thoughts, it can lead to pain. I don't know if I could help...but I hope you find peace and..if loneliness is getting you down, I hope you find the right people.

im very sorry to hear you're going through this, genuinely hope you'll find peace and joy and be happy i understand to an extent, my closest friends do not share the same interests with me, and if we do have a common interest like games, it feels like (and i hate to say it) that they are "casual" enjoyers while i feel so deep and passionate about the medium im also a person who cannot talk about my interests even with closest friends if i dont know that they genuinely like the thing and express explicit desire to engage on that topic with me ( vampire rules, i dont come in if im not invited lmao), the only people i can have a genuine conversation with about my interests are, not surprisingly, my tumblr friends of which i have only a few its a me problem, and i truely want to be genuine and freely express the joy i feel about things and just not care, because life is so beautiful and people make beautiful things and it all makes me so happy, but i am forever a coward

Hey I saw ur "lonely posting" for lack of a better term. I just wanted to say that your art is beautiful and I'm so glad you *are* getting attention for it. I have so many artists that I love (fandom specific or otherwise) on this here hellsite, and not many of them get tons of notes.

Remember that your art reaches so many people, people who are lonely too.

Apologies for the soap box but I just wanted you to know who deeply not alone you are and how easy you can and have touched people's hearts.

After all, you've made mine soar with joy ❤️

thank you for such a thoughtfull message i never cared for the amount of notes my art gets, i just want to find likeminded people and make others happy and maybe better myself as artist and as a person in the process messages like yours make me want to keep going

read "my head is full of screams" on your post at first 'cause my eyes are shitty and I was like me too, dude. Anyway, I hope you're feeling better and that screams are out of the way.

my head is a jar of buzzing bees

I assure you... I am anything BUT a responsible adult... i have been faking it for years. Im bound to be found out.

you are very right and correct, i didnt mean it like adults dont watch shows or enjoy art, i meant that i never thought i'd deserve the attention it also saddens me that some of us have to sacrifice some things we enjoy in order to survive (aka going to work and having no energy afterwards) we'll make it though, we will prevail and prosper, life is beautiful
