Looking for an artist buddy/friends and mutuals :)

Hi 👋 im 21F and im looking for some art friends. I love oc based content and love building lore as well as fanart or Dnd ! Id really like to do art trades and have someone to learn with.

I also game ( hollow knight , afop and recently Pokémon x!) And read (mostly fantasy and dystopia based series)

I have also recently gotten back into the furry community :3 so a shared interest in anthro art would also be great !

Is she waking up or going to bed?

I am not sure how this painting is perceived, what do you think is going on here?

Looking for more artist friends/mutuals.

At my big age of 25, I've discovered I may be more into furry art than I thought... as well as NSFW.

I'm hoping to find some art friends who like worldbuilding, character design, fantasy aesthetics, storytelling, creature design, etc. I miss having people to bounce ideas off and grow together creatively/artistically.

I tend to draw fantasy girls, creepy/eerie creatures, occult symbolism, animals, knights, witchy stuff, and emotional/symbolic art in general. Plus much more.

I have a loottt of interests we could talk about. If you wanna message me— tell me about something you love drawing, or what DnD character you’re currently playing, or anything else you’d like to stay with.

🥰 I added examples of my art, so if you vibe with my style we can collab. >:3

Looking for artist friends both 2D and 3D

Hello uh, I don't usually post usually I prefer to just lurk around but recently I've really been wanting some 2D and 3D artist friends, I really miss being able to talk to artists who know what I'm talking about without having to explain everything all the time. I was wondering if anyone knows of any good places to join or wants to hang out? I'm very shy and socially anxious and don't usually post anywhere, I've tried to post in discord servers but they feel like I just am an outsider because everyone knows everyone and I'm just there trying to find where I fit in. My discord is the_quiet_asheron04 feel free to message me, just let me know you saw my post on Reddit first. Thank you for reading.

Looking for art buddies!

Hello! I'm slowly coming out of a deep depression that I've been in for years, and I'm slowly showing interest in art again!

I've had so many comic ideas that I've sat on for decades, and think it's almost time to put pen to paper.

Would love to join a discord or maybe a group that does ArtPile sessions!

I'm kinda shy so I don't really talk much. ;u;

Someone is sending my art into ai… I worked very hard on that piece…💔

I’m honestly heartbroken. I’m disabled so seeing someone put my hard worked on artwork that I made myself into a artificial intelligence to steal my art style and also the elements that make me me after working so hard on a picture that took hours of backbreaking drawing?

I suffered with fibromyalgia. I also have spine disorders.

This infuriates me beyond all belief.
I don’t give a shit if you’re for AI or against AI, but giving AI my artwork is directly stealing from me.
If you wanted a picture of me breaking a goddamn pencil, I would’ve drawn that for you myself…
I really wanna cry right now…

I drew this picture because I got angry that there was so much AI art that was just absolute bullshit on my feed and I hate AI

Why do people have to be such assholes?
Leave me in my art alone
If you like AI whatever if you don’t like AI whatever

I don’t just draw for hours for someone to put it inside of a machine that spits out bullshit

How Do Folks Deal With The Suffocating Feeling That You Won't Have The Skills To Complete A Project That You've Had In Mind For A While?

So, I've had a couple story ideas for a manga that I wanted to make for a couple (maybe 4-ish) years and I think about these ideas all the time. I've gone over multiple iterations of my characters arcs and storylines but I don't want to start putting these thoughts onto paper (or a doc or something idk) because my art is mediocre. I've been super busy with a bunch of stuff like school and whatnot over the years so I haven't been dedicating a ton of time to art but I feel like I NEED to have good art in order for me to start these stories. Sometimes I'll get flashes of inspiration for pieces involving them but I'm not good enough yet to make them the way I see them and then I practice and start to freak out a bit and worry and worry and stress over the fact that I'm not there yet and then I get frustrated and sometimes I feel like I want to cry but I know it's silly to do so especially as a young adult in their 20's over my own helplessness. I don't know, I just don't know what to do. I know art takes time and like I said there's stuff going on in my life but I just get so stressed and sad. I've also been struggling with motivation to really dig in my heels and dedicate some more free time to art just because I get intimidated. I've been trying to keep myself practicing at least a little bit by doing at least one small drawing a day (I was originally doing the 100-Day Challenge but now I'm past 100). My art isn't crazy bad but it's also kind of irking me to look at some pieces because it's not what I want which is my fault.

I'm sorry for this long post, I'm just freaking out and I guess I feel kinda alone when doing so.

Looking to try being art buddies

Hello!

I'm a university student, and I'm into video games, movies and music.

I'm looking for anyone over 18 who would like to be my buddy. Preferably someone who makes digital art. No AI.

I've been struggling a bit with the design of this first sketch, but I think I found a design I liked in the second sketch (unfinished). I wanted to try having an art buddy to talk to about things like that, and maybe brainstorm or get/give an opinion.
