Future going forward
UPDATE: My art will remain in storage until further notice. I love deviantART but I'm not ready for a platform that condones AI art as anything more than a moodboard/experimental medium kept in quieter channels. I find it extremely disingenuous to have it appearing in galleries beside art created by skilled artists in our industry on a shared platform. And the old, "well, people are gonna do it anyway" isn't a helpful sell. The issue here is proximity and consent. The impression I got today from the announcement and twitter space interviews both was that nobody read the room, truly listened to what artists (suppliers of this data) want, and the vibe check failed. So I am going to exercise a cardinal tenant of the internet: Don't like it? Don't interact. I am sad that I feel this way for a site that I grew up on. A site I was so happy and excited to be sponsored by, and I sincerely hope that my feedback is heard kindly. There are many people here both staff and mutual peers that
Exciting Career Announcement!
Hi DeviantArt fam! I have some BIG news! I’m excited to announce that I accepted a job offer as a full time UI Artist on SMITE at Hi-Rez Studios starting in January! This news comes with some big changes and poses some important questions going forward. But first I want to say how incredibly grateful and blessed I am to have gotten to know so many wonderful art peers and supporters over the last few years. I joke and say my streams are made possible by you in the PBS voice but it’s true. Everyone who commissioned me, supported patreon, subbed to my twitch, purchased my brushes, prints & t-shirts-- all of you have contributed to my livelihood and growth during this 3 year period. I can’t thank you enough & I hope in my next career chapter, I can pay it forward in helping other creative peers get closer to a comfortable & meaningful career path. Now for the questions...What does this mean for my patreon, DA subscriptions, streams, learning content & passion project going forward?

Final Fantasy Inspired Weapon Design Challenge!
Hello fellow Deviants! I have an exciting new challenge for you all this month with some fun prizes to boot! This month we are teaming up with @stumpyfongo and @kloir to bring you the #FFWeaponVember challenge! 🗡️ The goal of this challenge is to design a weapon that is inspired by the Final Fantasy universe! 🗡️ Hashtag used to enter: #FFWeaponVember 🗡️ When is it Due? Nov 28 @ 11:59pm PST 🗡️What am I creating? Your task is to design a weapon that looks and feels like it could exist in the Final Fantasy universe. This will involve researching and creating moodboards, thumbnailing out ideas, and pre-visualizing the weapon by rendering/painting it in a way that makes it feel like it could exist in game. Have fun with textures, materials, and any visual effects like magic, fire, ice, etc! 🗡️ What should I submit? Your final submission will be an 11x17 (landscape) concept sheet that features the finished/rendered weapon on the right and any relevant exploration work on the left.

Bravo! Agreed and very true. In art classes I have taken, the single most important part of every session was when we tacked our work on the wall for everyone to review in a civil manner. It was also the most time consuming process and sometimes would take several classes to complete.
However, that is where your learning process of the class really came in. It helped everyone to look at the work from a different angle and so much of the time, when your sitting there staring at your work hours on end, you tend to miss certain details/proportion/composition issues that others can see and help you with.
Love this journal post!
