  • No complications can be 0.01% as painful as the pain he inflicted on this world.

    There was no redemption arc possible for this guy, since he won and was proud of it, so I'd rather have him gone for good, suffering or no suffering. Alas, they always live too old.

    A reminder that even the concept of rest has been appropriated by the ruling class.

    Seize the means of awakening on your own time.

  • Much appreciated ❤️

    But I'm definitely not there yet (for ex. the head shape and hands in the left panel).

    I'll still be sharing mostly stickmen for a while, until daily practice gets me where I want to be, long road ahead.

    As for art I draw for games / commercial use… I have to record the entire sketching and drawing process from start to finish, which feels intrusive and affects the creative process, because otherwise you always run into those types who think they can tell the difference but always get it wrong, and nothing short of a full recording will satisfy them. Yay learning to draw in the 2020s!

  • Thanks, much appreciated.

    Main issue is whenever I tryhard, I often end up getting told that my art looks AI generated (that's why I leave the paint bucket fills instead of smoothing them out…).

    It's disheartening when it happens, so I tend to share stickmen online, and keep my more serious pieces to myself.

    Grinding daily though, hopefully I'm getting better, and one day I'll escape this vortex.

    Today's piece, reworked/improved a piece of art for a card game:

  • The third option is apparently pretending there are only two options that way you don't have to feel bad about it, I guess?

    There's so many things other than voting to do between being idle and storming the palace, here's a few simple ideas that don't take much effort and don't require you to invest your life into activism, they're a bunch of examples not an exhaustive list or a checklist:

    • Join or support an union
    • Show up at local protests if you can
    • Take part in boycotting a few things that belong to people or countries or orgs that are doing bad shit
    • Speak up, everyday pushback against reactionary speech by coworkers/family/etc. matters
    • Join local activist groups through social media to check once in a while what they need and see if you can lend a hand
    • Most importantly, don't sneer at people who are trying to do something: cynicism pulls people down, it is a net negative

     

    Martin Niemöller wrote First They Came… as a cautionary tale. If you choose to ignore it and come up with excuses for being a doomer, then you might end up decades from now being the one who writes your own version of First They Came…

    The very minimum contribution you could do would be to not try to spread that mood to others. It'd be a nice start.

    There is notoriously nothing in between. Must choose one of the two options.

    I live in a place where I didn't need my drivers licence until my late 30s, and barely use it.

    That instance has lengthy and very active ban logs for a reason.

  • When I report problematic takes over there, they get server banned. That's why I put !smugideologyman@lemmy.dbzer0.com over there, it's the only "major" explicitly leftist server I trust by experience will ban tankies and nazis.

    Here's a recent example of how the local userbase reacts to a tankie meme in their third most active community (compared to the same meme getting a positive score on lemmy.ml). Thanks for the gaslighting attempt about a server I actually use on the regular + instant downvotes on my comments though, pretty cool way to hold a conversation.

    They do indeed have AI apologists, btw. I simply don't interact with their communities.
