Sparring 😳
the whole point of a zine is that it's cheap to produce, amateur and homemade. if you're being asked to apply to participate in a print project, it is not a zine. if the final product is being printed and bound professionally, it is not a zine. if you are being asked to enter into any kind of licensing agreement more complex than "my work can be reproduced as part of this publication" it is not a zine. nine times put of ten if the final product costs more than $5 you have left zine country. im so serious about this.
A rough paint of my city elf Warden Ianthe. The City elf origin always stuck out to me with how tragic it is and I wanted to capture that a bit.
Still screaming after my first BG3 playthrough. I had to paint my Bard Tav, Vice 🤧 self-serving and silver tongued, he now resides in the underdark with his vampiric love.

A painting I did a while ago featuring a throuple and their cats.
Another older painting! Girlfriends hanging out at the local grand balcony.
Is it just me, or is ArtStation's policy update for AI not sufficient?
I shouldn't have to go back and tag every piece to opt out. That should be the default. This feels like a flimsy band-aid on the situation. To me, they are effectively siding against artists' rights to choose to participate in Ai by making the default option "yes."
Yes, I would love for my work to be used against my will and profited off of since I didn't tag every piece!
This is not acceptable.
