Finished a new piece and posted on my portfolio page!

Meet Mia Bibblewibble. She is a gnome druid that will be going on adventure in the dungeons and dragons campaign I recently joined. First session is this weekend! I'm so excited. I hope the rest of the group likes her!

Slowly working on the redesign of my kitsune. With the help of some friends I got her hairstyle picked out and her clothes sorted. Really excited with how she's coming along!

Working on a redesign of my self named oc Kassi tonight while waiting on clients to get back to me about their commission sketches. Pretty sure I have a good idea of the outfit. Now to decide which of these hair options I like more. Hmmmmmmm

Posted some of my old ponyfinder work over on my portfolio page. Go check it out!

Some more ponyfinder! That rift dragon makes me so happy.

And yes, the wings on that pegasus are supposed to be bound up. Can you tell someone in my party made me mad? xD

Finished an emote commission! I had so much fun doing these. I'm glad I decided to make emotes as a commission option.

Completed emote commission for Kraken Latte of twitch/twitter/youtube

So I realized after I was getting ready to post an update that this person asked for a specific pose. I will see what I can do about that. But I did start some work on this today! Worst case scenario it's just the character. We'll see how I feel later. <3

If any media is okay for requests, could you maybe draw Kiff from the show of the same name in the scenario of the example below?

Hello! Interesting little character! I'll definitely add it to my list for consideration. I have another couple pieces on the list but I'll see what I can do. If/when I do get to this I'll make sure to tag you!

---- Edit ----

I am new to tumblr... i did not realize this would post. I probably should have waited until I had the art done. But I didn't want to leave you hanging! <3

We are just as much a part of our art as it is a part of us. I had a similar experience as this comic where I made a character who adored plants and wanted to help every sick or ailing plant she came across. In creating her eccentricities, I found myself noticing plants while I was out and about, bringing them home, and nursing them back to health. Now I have a small indoor garden by my desk window that I lovingly tend to each morning. <3

Here’s a 5 page comic about a weird project I spent the last month working on 🪲

[kassika]

This... 100%. If you see my work and it inspires you, please tag me with your work that it inspired! I'd love to see it!

maybe this is where I disagree with other artists but it was always strange to me seeing "do not take inspiration from/get inspired by my work" in artists' bios. To me that's like asking someone to not get hungry when they see delicious food.

I'd get it if they meant something like "do not steal/copy" the work (in which case that should just be the wording used), but to tell people that they shouldn't be inspired by your work? In that case you just shouldn't be posting it at all

Stream Results

Results from tonight's stream! Thank you to those who came to join me. It was fun having you around!

Working on requests and a commission. Come hang out with me live on twitch!!!

[kassika]

Potential stream layout. I think I'm finally happy with how everything's looking. Who's up for a stream this evening? I'll be working on the requests I've taken and an emote commission!

Will be going live around 5:00 PM EST!

Alright US mutuals, if you are interested in, morbidly fascinated by, or anxiously doomscrolling through AI news, including Stable Diffusion, Llama, ChatGPT or Dalle, you need to be aware of this.

The US Copyright Office has submitted a request for comment from the general public. Guidelines can be found on their site, but the gist of it is that they are taking citizen statements on what your views on AI are, and how the Copyright Office should address the admittedly thorny issues in rulings.

Be polite, be succinct, and be honest. They have a list of questions or suggestions, but in truth are looking to get as much data from the general public as possible. If you have links to papers or studies examining the economic impacts of AI, they want them. If you have anecdotal stories of losing commissions, they want them. If you have legal opinions, experience using these tools, or even a layman's perspective of how much human input is required for a piece of work to gain copyright, they want it.

The deadline is Oct 18th and can be submitted via the link in the article. While the regulatory apparatus of the US is largely under sway by corporate interests, this is still the actual, official time for you to directly tell the government what you think and what they should do. Comments can be submitted by individuals or on behalf of organizations. So if you are a small business, say a print shop, you can comment on behalf of the print shop as well.

Work in progress of my first request from a Puella Magi Madoka Magica fanfiction group! I'm really excited about how this one is coming out. Keep the ideas coming!

[kassika]

TAKING REQUESTS!

Hi there! I see you scrolling! I'm taking fanart requests for some inspiration to draw. Please feel free to drop a comment or DM me with a fandom/character/scene/etc and maybe I'll draw it!

[kassika]

WIP! Debating on whether to keep her trim or make her a chubby cupcake. Either way I'm so thrilled with how she's coming out!

[kassika]

One of these days I will finish this piece...
