"not all Americans" is starting to sound a lot like "not all men"

Now here's an interesting project: I got commissioned by @bluefin.bsky.social to Yoji Shinkawa stylize a sketch done by @jt.buneerstudio.com into a full illustration "Young girl, they call them the Diamond Cutters"

SHOW'S OVER

WE DID IT BOYS

WE FINISHED INVISIBLE SNAKE

Big thanks to everyone who watched along the past few weeks, and to @teoft for demystifying some of the ins and outs of the Shinkawa style.

There's plenty more to learn, but I'm happy with what we accomplished.

Oh, and by the way, that Supreme Court ruling is where that Harry Potter money goes.

Something something assigning blue to raspberry makes sense since colors like red, blue, green, yellow are easy to reproduce, and red is already strawberry, green is apple and yellow is lemon.

Still, the fact that it's blue makes it feel like it tastes different. I'm not the biggest fan of raspberry, but blue raspberry? Hell yeah.

Slowly coming to terms with the fact that I'm most likely on the autism spectrum, which would explain many aspects of my life. The thing making it difficult is this echo of an idea that I have to be normal to be worth anything. Also the fact that "autist" has been a derogatory thing for so long.

It's funny though, like this whole Yoji Shinkawa thing was a clear hyperfixation, but now it just is a part of my career and what I'm known for. I'm essentially making money off of my biggest hyperfixation.

Social media is a fuck

Yesterday I drew that "my invincible war oc" meme, and posted it here, Bluesky and Twitter. Well, as you might know, Twitter was almost unusable and possibly under a cyber attack. Despite this, can you guess where the post went viral?

Twitter. Even when the clusterfuck of a shitshow of a website was exploding, the post still got 500 retweets and 4.5k likes. I can't even fucking look at the comments.

Meanwhile it got 20 reposts and 100 likes on Bluesky.

I hate what Twitter is now, and Bluesky feels so much more welcoming, but the problem is that I just have no reach on BS: I've yet to get a commission client on there. It's just dead on there.

All of this makes me feel like I'm some sort of gimmick artist; that I need the ability to go viral to succeed. That when posts have to stand on their own merits, when the art has to be good enough to be liked and shared, I fail.

I feel like the artist version of a meme: funny when shared, but mostly worthless as a thing itself.

A few years back I was checking out a bunch of streamers, mostly due to raiding and shoutouts by other streamers. I used to do a bunch of doodles for them while watching the streams, and I ended up with the reputation of "appears out of nowhere and posts MGS style fanart".

At one point a streamer kinda "gently" kept urging me to watch their streams, which gave me uncomfortable vibes: it turned out they were hoping for fanart, as I had done that with a lot of streams I watched. I don't remember exactly how and I don't feel like checking the messages, but I ended up drawing a fully colored bust commission for them, and never got paid for it. Maybe it was a miscommunication or whatever, but at that point I cut my losses and I haven't associated with or watched the streamer since.

At this point, sure
