Happy Valentine's Day! I've been sitting on this painting for a couple months. It never felt finished to me, but I need to stop putting so much pressure on myself. Anyway, this is watercolour and gouache. I think it's cute at least. #art #artist #artistsoninstagram #artissofinstagram #artoninstagram #artofinstagram #instagramart #instaart #instaartist #instagood #semirealism #realism #artsy #femaleartist #canadianartist #undiscoveredartist #artist #traditionalart #traditionalillustration #traditionalpainting #traditionalartist #watercolor #watercolour #watercolorart #watercolorpainting #watercolorillustration #watercoloyrart #watercolourpainting #watercolourillustration #watercolorportrait #watercolourportrait (at Hamilton, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8keqSUh5cN/?igshid=1rq2dalfhk1wa

Back during Inktober I had done a drawing for the word build but I never ended up posting it. Last night I decided to start painting it, and this is the progress so far. Obviously there’s a lot still to do, but I like how it’s turning out so far 😁 #digitalart #digitalpainting #digitaldrawing #digitalillustration #digitalmedia #digitalportrait #art #artist #artistsoninstagram #artissofinstagram #artoninstagram #artofinstagram #instagramart #instaart #instaartist #instagood #semirealism #realism #artsy #femaleartist #canadianartist #undiscoveredartist #artist #artoftheday (at Hamilton, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/B68vOkNhIyb/?igshid=1vspssmj0xnn

I work in Real Estate admin and I just dispatched an offer from an agent named Dave Dry.

The first thing my brain did was make up a wife, Sheila Wet. Their children are varying states of moisture.

Pomegranate world

Pomegranate world

[toastpotent-deactivated20250619]

why did it censor out something she said. what did she say. let her speak

[peach-thief]

Okay so what she says (from what I can figure out, please correct me if I get something wrong) is basically:

“Alright today we’re gonna teach everybody the Proper way to open a pomegranate. First you’re gonna make four cuts in a square on its ass, top and bottom, side to side, cut cut cut, and then take this piece of the skin off. Now you COULD not follow my instructions and cut it in half right down the middle; however, you’re gonna end up cutting into the fruit, sending juice flying all over the fuckin place and your girlfriend is gonna beat your *ss and leave you; SO, it’s better to follow my directions using the cut cut cut method. Then, in a star shape make more cuts and pull back the pieces, and presto there you have a beautiful pomegranate flower; tell me that isn’t the prettiest fucki-“

#inktober2019 day 3: Bait So this one I had a really hard time with, I had about 5 different concepts before I landed on a #siren for this, and this is actually my second one because I didn’t love the first one. #art #artistsoninstagram #femaleartist #traditionalart #penandinkdrawing #penandink #inktober #mermaid #creepy #creepyart (at Hamilton, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3K7NBxh_a-/?igshid=1h7dq9n71d07h

#inktober2019 day 2: mindless This one I actually had a really hard time with, how do you show mindlessness in an illustration? I feel like this at least somewhat captured it. #art #artistsoninstagram #femaleartist #portrait #mindless #penandinkdrawing #traditionalart (at Hamilton, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3IcebEh7Ox/?igshid=1k8ke1sdpsqg8

#inktober2019 day 1: #ring This is something I’m really not used to, but I really enjoyed working with ink for this one! I really love the tattoo look it ended up having. I won’t be able to do all 31 days, at least not consecutively, but I’m definitely going to do as many prompts as I can! #art #artist #femaleartist #undiscoveredartist #pen #penandinkdrawing #tattoo #witchy #witchaestethic (at Hamilton, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3F6uCpBsGg/?igshid=11q8eesml7xqz

Attention non-artists who commission artists: don’t fuckin do this???

[cursedcharley]

Actually had someone do this to me too. Was doing a art stream, it took me over 2 hours to do his inked commission, he got a refund cause ‘it took too long’ that he figured I wasn’t going to do it after I gave him the file.

Don’t do this. Do not.

[littlegreendorito]

I’ve had this happen to me with a $350 comic :/ I had already finished it, it was full color, 6 panels and had a full bg in every panel. I was lucky in that I didn’t spend him money yet, but it left me without funds. I’ve also had the above happen to me as well.

Don’t do this shit to artists. We’re people too. Drawing for you is more than a hobby. It’s a job.

[aroyalmoon-deactivated20211014]

Use Paypal Invoices. 

I cannot stress this enough. That shit helps A LOT when it comes down to Paypal refunds/disputes. There’s a description box that let’s you put in what the product is/how long it’ll take/yadda yadda, and then there’s another little memo box that only you and paypal can see where you can say it’s a digital commission and doesn’t require shipping (So Donald Mcfuck can’t say that they never got their commission). And there’s also a box for your Terms & Conditions where you can say, if you have any conflicts/want a refund - email me, or you can actually tell the user that this is a digital commission and they won’t be getting a hard copy of it.

ARTISTS. PLEASE USE PAYPAL INVOICES. it will SAVE you. And to: the people who do this to artists – Fuck you. It’s okay if you change your mind and want a refund. But freaking TALK to us and let us know what’s going on. Let us WORK with you.

[thelilnan]

ALSO A HUGE TIP: Invoices paid will automatically set up a shipping notice which, if not fulfilled, can land you in SERIOUS hot water with PayPal. Since a lot of artists don’t print and ship the commissions, this is a huge problem.

However! Totally manageable. Just go to your PayPal, scroll down to find Seller Preferences

>> Shipping Preferences

>> Display Ship Button. Make sure all the boxes are unchecked. Then you’re all set!

[captain-spicypants-deactivated2]

As a big supporter of artists, don’t you ever fucking dare fuck over an artist like that. Like don’t. And if they take their time to do a good job, don’t shit all over them for it! Don’t be a fucking ass hole. Just don’t. These people put a  LOT of work and time and effort into their artwork. Just don’t be that guy. Often times these artists aren’t even getting what they deserve in compensation. 

[happykittyshop]

I am very grateful my customers have been good to me, but I’m spreading the word.

[guzma-reader-hell]

Very important!

[theakaning]

As a new artist, I’m very grateful for this post. Never knew this. Thank you.

[enteratabucking-deactivated2020]

@saferion - I know you create some artwork/photo edits. I’m not sure if you knew about this or not but I figured I’d pass it along just in case.

[safingual]

Thank you for mentioning and warning! PayPal is a big hole of pitfalls, it’s always good to be aware of these kind of things!

IMPORTANT ADVICE FOR ARTISTS AND CUSTOMERS.

[themefo]

Another progress shot of one of the pieces I've been working on recently. Some artists warn against using the bending tool and suggest only colour picking, others swear by it. Personally I use a combination of both. I've found if I blend too much the colours can get muddy, but I get a much smoother transition than with the eye dropper tool alone. Honestly, I think it makes sense to just do what works for you individually. It's art, it's supposed to be personal! . . . . #art #artist #artistsoninstagram #artissofinstagram #artoninstagram #artofinstagram #instagramart #instaart #instaartist #instagood #semirealism #realism #artsy #femaleartist #canadianartist #undiscoveredartist #artist #digital #digitalart #digitalpainting #digitalillustration #digitalmedia #digitalportrait #clipstudio (at Hamilton, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2nRicghcW9/?igshid=1eqs2e7w5yt4u

sometimes i’m like “i should buy some orange juice! i love it i don’t know why i never have it in the house” and then i get some and i remember it’s because some kind of dormant Scurvy Prevention Instinct activates within me like a sleeper agent trained to seek and destroy, except it’s just me standing in front of the open fridge at two in the morning chugging juice straight out of the carton like a crazed citrus gremlin

During a military campaign, Vlad the Impaler, the basis for Dracula, once pulled his troops out of a major engagement in a valley at dusk so that the sun was in their enemies’ eyes. Once they were over the hill, they set loose a bunch of rabid bats who flew away from the sun (towards the enemy) and attacked them, leading to significant infection in their ranks, and Vlad’s eventual victory. Because of how the bats appeared from where Vlad’s soldiers appeared to be at dusk, myth stated that the soldiers turned into bats at night, which is where the “Dracula can change into a bat” thing came from.

The earths carbon levels fell by 700 million tons because Genghis Khan killed so many people

King James (the one known for revising the Bible) liked to watch women give birth. That’s where the “tradition” of women laying on their backs to give birth comes from.

Previous to that it was common for women to have chairs with holes in them and straw underneath, so they could sit on this special chair and let gravity help with the birthing process.

Spicy foods were thought to increase libido and cause children to masturbate. To prevent kids from touching themselves at night, a man named Kellogg invented the blandest combination of cereals, marketed it at kids, and called it Corn Flakes

At the Battle of Gettysburg during the American Civil War, a small group of Union soldiers had run out of ammo against a large group of the Confederate Army. In a panic, the Union soldiers sprinted at them, screaming, with only bayonets drawn. The entire Confederate Army that was present turned and ran away in fear, not knowing that they had literally no ammunition.

When the Roman Emperor Caligula went to invade Britain he stood on the coast of Gaul with his army and suddenly declared war on Neptune, God of the Sea. He had his men collect sea shells from the shore as “spoils from the Ocean”.

Oh and he appointed his horse to the senate.

During the Austro-Prussian war of 1868, Liechtenstein sent over an army of 80 people, but ended up coming back with 81 people because they befriended a guy on the other side.

People refused to send art and sculptures to be displayed at the Chicago World’s Fair because of Chicago’s history with fire. They had to fireproof the Fine Arts building to get people to agree to loan them their art. A year after the fair closed most of the grounds were destroyed by fire but the Fine Arts building survived. It’s now the Museum of Science and Industry.

The carbon emissions thing from Ghenghis Khan is not the whole story. He also planted trees wherever he conquered land because he liked trees and thought they were important. He conquered enough to make an impact on the global climate.

Radu III, brother of Vlad III( Vlad the Impaler)  nearly killed Mehmed II, the future Sultan of the Ottoman’s, after Mehmed invited him up to his chambers. Radu, seemingly unaware that the offer was sexual in nature, was startled when Mehmed embraced and then tried to kiss him. Radu stabbed the prince in the leg, then ran and hid in a tree. They later became lovers, and maintained a relationship for the rest of their lives

[queerstorian]

Just googled the last one because holy shit that’s magnificent and seemed to good to be true, but not only did it actually happen, but I also learned that radu was known as “radu the beautiful”

[afewreelthoughts]

fun date idea: stab him in the leg

Radu was also known by the name Radu Bae Bey and I think that’s brilliant
