I was just taking my artist sister through pages of your art; and she (and I) were losing our minds over every. single. aspect. of your work-- making caveman noises unironically, scrolling and scrolling, eating up every. single. picture as we plunged further down the rabbit hole.

I don't say this lightly, at all: I'm positive you can excel at anything. Your talent and abilities and hard work and skill are incredible.

(Sidenote: Sis saw your comment about not knowing how to draw faces; and said, verbatim: "I genuinely want to know-- I'm actually curious-- genuinely, 'what makes you say that? how have you reached that conclusion?''")

Omg wow thank you 😭💕

Damn I don't think I'm worthy of that much praise but that's really so nice of you to say 😭

Also faces are so difficult to get right especially if you're trying to get a specific persons likeness down realistically. It's easier to notice if something is off. I've definitely made a lot of mistakes there 😅

Original - because it gets compressed as a gif.

I see you have also been fully gripped by the maudlin, macabre ambiance of the x files and thus superiorly express this with art that was touched by God, hmm yes, I see you. Beautiful.

Thank you 😭💕

I actually think the lack of any lighting in the show is its greatest asset tbh

#Yeah the vibes of the show really do a lot to make up for the writing don't they

Have you seen lockwood and co? Your x files pic reminded me of it. And your avatar.

Oh no I haven't. I've actually never heard of it before.

#im actually so out of it. the only tv shows i even watch anymore are WWE clips on youtube and frasier

They are already selling data to midjourney, and it's very likely your work is already being used to train their models because you have to OPT OUT of this, not opt in. Very scummy of them to roll this out unannounced.

#so extremely fucked up! #i am so fucking done with this shit #literally fuck you tumblr and fuck anyone who thinks AI is a good thing #its just straight up theft

Hi, recent X Files convert, just wanted 2 say that your art is GORGEOUS and makes me FEEL THINGS. You have captured the tone and vibes of the show SO WELL in your art. It's so atmospheric 👌👌👌👌👌 10/10 would hang it in my home to look at every day.

Aw thank you 😭😭😭 that's very kind.

I can’t believe how much AI art I’m seeing on this website. Genuinely so disappointed in seeing people share this stuff around given how harmful it’s been to creative industries and working artists livelihoods. It’s lazy and stolen content. I know a lot of times it’s shared unknowingly but It’s so disheartening to see. :(

It feels silly even calling it out on this blog where I post shitty x files fan art and update once a year, but it’s currently the only real account that I have on here

#will probably delete later #I’m just venting #but I’m just so tired!

[opentheskies]

hii, i love your art and i was wondering if i could use one of your pieces as my icon for discord? :) i would give you credit in my bio ofc. thank you for all you do

Thank you so much 💕😭

Yeah of course. Go for it.
