Drub<p>Shipping huge paintings…</p><p>$2000 for 6 paintings to Seattle with return labels. (Edit: just shipped the largest &amp; last painting)</p><p>This! This is why artists are always “starving”. </p><p>I could have taken time off from work, drove up there, dropped off the <a href="https://woof.group/tags/paintings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>paintings</span></a>, stayed in a nice hotel, ate well &amp; drove back - and I would have saved money! 🤣😭 <a href="https://woof.group/tags/ArtistProblems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ArtistProblems</span></a></p>

maiji<p>ooooh I'm so proud of myself I figured out my display for the sneak peek of my final haiku ink piece that I'll have on display at Grafficker Alley! </p><p>(It's nothing fancy, I'm just pleased I am able to repurpose stationery supplies I bought a bajillion years ago and haven't been using)</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/ArtistAlley" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ArtistAlley</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/ArtistProblems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ArtistProblems</span></a></p>
Amanda Makepeace (ᏣᏁᎾ)<p>Transitioning from Photoshop CS6 to Affinity Photo 2 is going SLOW. VERY SLOW. Some things are easy to figure out while others are just bizarre.

maiji<p>I didn't feel like writing a whole fanfic for the melodramatic SO2 mobster AU my brain (literally) dreamed up, so I wrote an outline and drew some pictures and a few comic panels 😂 Also, complaining about colour correction and scanning.</p><p><a href="https://www.pillowfort.social/posts/6140986" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">pillowfort.social/posts/614098</span><span class="invisible">6</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/fanfiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fanfiction</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/fanart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fanart</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/StarOcean2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>StarOcean2</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/ArtistProblems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ArtistProblems</span></a></p>

vulgalour - Free Range Queer<p>February is a short month so it's extra hard to hit that target, it's very unlikely I'll pull in what's needed within the next four days.</p><p>March is usually better.</p><p><a href="https://birdbutt.com/tags/MastoArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MastoArt</span></a> <a href="https://birdbutt.com/tags/SelfEmployed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SelfEmployed</span></a> <a href="https://birdbutt.com/tags/Income" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Income</span></a> <a href="https://birdbutt.com/tags/ArtistProblems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ArtistProblems</span></a></p>
vulgalour - Free Range Queer<p>More file transfer and tidying today, as well as some video subtitling and hopefully some video editing.</p><p>I'm experiencing the artist problem of a sprawling archive of work and reference material that really isn't as well organised as it should be. If this were an analogue set of stuff it would be a room with towering piles of books and a floor groaning under the weight.</p><p><a href="https://birdbutt.com/tags/MastoArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MastoArt</span></a> <a href="https://birdbutt.com/tags/ArtistProblems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ArtistProblems</span></a></p>
maiji<p>protip for artists: don't flip a picture right after you go it's done because then you'll go it's NOT. If you know you know</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/ArtistProblems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ArtistProblems</span></a></p>

maiji<p>That feeling when you've been conceptualizing this illustration idea in your head all day and you're like "This is the best idea!! This is gonna be so cool!!!" and then you sketch it and you're like "...this looks really stupid..."</p><p>I know from experience it just needs some time/love/refinement but the immediate transition of feeling was very :bunhdidle:</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/ArtistProblems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ArtistProblems</span></a></p>
maiji<p>Nothing gets you into the right mood for drawing a romantic picture like alternating between grumbling about posing two people close together interspersed with "oh no! body-kun [artist mannequin]'s arm popped off again!!"</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/ArtistProblems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ArtistProblems</span></a></p>

badstitch<p>Does anyone else dream in pixels?

vulgalour - Free Range Queer<p>When you're an artist online you have to put your signature/website very visibly on your art so people can find you.</p><p>When you do this, your work is not shared as widely because it's "spoiled" by said mark.</p><p>Unless you make the mark easy to crop out or remove, thus defeating the point of it entirely.</p><p>You have to either accept your work will be stolen and reposted without credit, or accept it won't be shared as widely, you cannot have both.</p><p><a href="https://birdbutt.com/tags/MastoArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MastoArt</span></a> <a href="https://birdbutt.com/tags/ArtistProblems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ArtistProblems</span></a></p>
