Oh boy i’m really starting to feel the grind with uploading more art to the portal. Just now I got done with an art trade and yesterday I made my latest two drawings unlike during 2022 when I had a procrastinating problem. I think this is a big step for me and I thank all of the unfinished sketches I have. Hopefully I could finally do daily art along with making a new animation every once in a while! :)

also I want to introduce you all to gooble. Say hi to gooble


Hi gooble

I used to drink coffee mate creamer straight: no coffee, just the cream

I normally like drinking it with just sugar and nothing else, but I like coffee mate french vanilla.

I’ve also been reading the Sonic IDW comics, they’re super good!

Talking about books in general though, I’ve also just started reading the Discworld series by Terry Pratchett. It’s weird as heck and I’m loving it so far.

YESS, his portrayal of death is my favourite thing in his books, definitely my favourite character!

Dang, I haven't had coffee creamers in a looong time now. But if I had to pick, it would be Delight's caramel creamer. That was my go-to for my coffee mornings.

I find life easier if I just pretend the universe is an empty void and I'm the sole citizen in it. Completely alone, not a soul to be around me. Quite relaxing honestly. I think I truly hate people a lot, but it is what it is.

Posted here to keep it on the down low.


I think I’ve become someone’s artistic muse and I don’t know how to feel. I got tagged in quite a few art posts and received unexpected fanart of my old logo…? Like he made a whole character from it.


On one hand, I feel like this is the type of thing I would otherwise love to have. I’ve been in Discord communities where the admins were basically worshipped by the regular members, and always felt insignificant in those situations, as if something had to be wrong with me that I didn’t receive that kind of attention. But on the other, I’m slightly uncomfortable, because in all previous online interactions, getting a lot of unexpected fanart and/or general preferential treatment from a guy I haven’t even befriended that deeply has always resulted in finding out he’s into me. I do not want to get into online relationships. Guess that makes this a monkey paw moment.


(This guy’s age also isn’t in his bio here, so I have no frickin’ clue whether that theory would be legal.)


What the hell do I do.


Someone please help me revive my clubs

I put a few more in a news post but I haven't gotten around to reading the whole thing yet. I just took photos of the most eye-catching parts while flipping through. I wonder if this is interesting and important enough to scan and archive online, but I don't know where would accept this. I don't know if the Internet Archive wants user-submitted print scans.

Does anyone know whats the best size for posting pics on this forum?

My pics always end up getting crunched to hell, even though I already halfed their size (though tbf they're still probably too massive lol).

As a digital artist, what is your preferred dimensions to start a piece? It doesn’t have to be the dimensions of the end product: just your comfort document size when beginning fresh.

Mine’s is between 1,000 to 1,600 pxls max: big enough to potentially make a splash page or a scene but not big to the point where the default brush sizes become too small and errors can easily be missed.


Something with 3000 or 4000 pixels, I think. Never really paid attention and just adjusted it accordingly.

I don't think what you're looking for really exists anymore unfortunately. You can try smaller subreddits, when I used reddit the smaller art communities were generally fairly nice, a bit disconnected and slow though. You can try to find Art Discords by searching on twitter and reddit, Art streamers might have decent discord communities.
I haven't used it at all, but tumblr was getting some steam going a little while ago, maybe that could work for you.

Yes it does! There's that Sheezyart revival sheezy.art
