It's not too bad. I like the details it can do.

I've been using it to get some ideas and found some good ones, (also some ideas for character redesigns as well.)

Going to make some sketches and see how some of my guys look.


Note:
While some dislike others using programs like it. I use it much like someone uses photos as a reference to their work.

All works I post here will still be of my own doing and hands. (sketch and all)

not many takes up on the offer as much, and some don't even follow the simple rules when they do.

Maybe I'll do a poll and see if there's any interest.

Yep. I've seen like 5 journs of others getting into it. And I'm still waiting, been I think a month of waiting.

(Watch it be like once I finally get there, everyone moved to the next thing😅)

I've been thinking after I get these last few pics done (a couple of ref updates and rework), I'll be focusing back on my semi-real style.

Since doing the simple ones, I haven't done much of it since, and think it's time for that. With that said, posting pics here might appear very randomly.

Also might not post WiPs as often either, except one or two but bigger projects will remain without them. (only in my sketchbook)

I will still be active at the sites Im at though.

Not long ago, someone commented on a pic of mine. But the thing is, they were looking for someone to pay them to do a commission of the character they replied to. This, of course, is a big no. They already got booted off the site due to this. (and also saying they weren't "advertising")

So remember, never go around and do that no matter the reason. (because most, if not all, will decline)
There are other ways to try and get other to commission and such.

And that's the last of the ArtFight pics for this year. Sorry for the spam of all the loading.

So with that. Will return to the "normal" amount of loading my stuff...

Thanks to all those that did pics for me (and a few of my dogs) and will see you'll (maybe?) next time.

Just a heads up. Going to be loading the final 11 pics I did for ArtFight (2023).

But instead of all at once, kinda. I'll just load 5 for now and the rest later in the day.


Also, I will be posting the ones I've gotten from others as well. But they'll be after mine.
i will be loading them on my DA account as well, but at a later time and not a big load.

Some time after ArtFight. I'll go back and pick a couple of pics I've done and give them a "enhanced" update.

And how they'll be updated, cant say until one of them is done maybe sometime next month.

Either sometime today or later this week, I'll be posting the next set of pic done for Art Fight (2023).
So just a heads up.

Already posted 2 new characters, that made their debut during ArtFight (2023). And will be posting later on an update to two characters.
Might be next week or tomorrow for them though.

And next set of ArtFight might be either this Sunday or Monday

Yep. Starting Monday, I will be looking for those that haven't gotten attacks on their characters yet.

Also, will be another big posting of ArtFight pics also Monday. So just a heads up there.

Plus if anyone wants me to draw their charecter. Here's my link: https://artfight.net/~Dremag

Starting on the 2nd week of Art Fight. I will be looking to do some real pets.
So if there's someone that would like a pic of their pet done by me doing the event. Just let me know.
They will be mostly done using the "painted" style as well.


My Artfight link: https://artfight.net/~Dremag

Yep. Some time today/night. Will be loading the pics done for this week. (should be able 8 of them)

Figure I would remind any so they won't think of its just spamming.

Going to wait until Friday and post the ArtFight pics done for others. So a little heads up with multiple pics incoming.

To try and get more done. I'll be mostly using the recent "simple" style.
That way I don't have to speed and make a mess like I did with some last year.
However, I might pick some to do a different style on.

This will mean I wont really be doing any detail pics either. (maybe one)

I will also be adding a few more updated looks to other guys of mine as well.
I recently did some already. (this is to help some out in figure out details since some refs were a little too detailed or had some that confused them)

Since it's nearly time for Art Fight. I'll be updating a few of my guys as well as loading a few "new" ones to the gallery as well.
Also, I will be updating some of the thumbnails on a few. (maybe clean up the ones I've done myself)

While I haven't picked a Team (as of this posting). I might pick Werewolves once I'm able to.
And like always, here's my AF link in case someone might want to have a look at what I have: https://artfight.net/~Dremag

First off. Not surprised about FA changing their recent rules 5 times in a week. Seems like they really don't know how to word things without upsetting most of the site somehow.

Second. While I don't do anything that should be affected by the randomness of their mess of rules. Still going to be careful, even though the site sometimes does things without warning.

But in case their randomness does happen, you can find me on the sites listed in my main section. I do try to update on those sites when I can. However, I've been here a long time and have seen all their messes since. So ya, going to stay here and continue to watch it be more of a mess, at least until someone can fix it. 😁

Going back and updating a few more pics of mine so that they have a cleaner look amount other things as well.

Some of them need it since they were done more than 5 years ago before I started to do more digital work.
And because they were done traditionally and without a scanner. They ended up being blurry,

After having the account for about a year or so. I've finally got around to loading up my guys over there.
Will be adding more over time.

Messing around with certain programs and came up with an unique animal hybrid.

Going to do some sketches and toss it on my Sketchbook account later.

Since FA likes to remove things without warning. I was lucky enough to get something back that was removed that was going to be for someone, who had since closed their account and vanished into "the void of the net". (which makes no sense if it was my own work, in my own gallery and that person didn't let me know first)

And so as not to risk them doing it again.
It'll be loaded on my DA and Weasyl later on.

While I never, that I know of, had my name cropped. Recently a friend found out a Twitter account had reposted a pic of hers with name and most of the border cropped out.

Now like most that sees this, is upset.
Here's a link to her post about it:
https://twitter.com/catastrotaffy/s.....pbO_g&s=19


But while looking up some things, I found out that maybe the account didn't actually do the cropping as a meme site had the same image from 2016. Which means someone running that account seen it either there or another and thought it was ok to repost that cropped version.

So if you seen the image without her name l et others know. Meanwhile I'm going to keep looking.

Going to be doing some housesitting for a few days, which means I'll be able to get some things done.
And one of them is the YCH I posted back in Jan and the other might be the YCH from last year.

Also thinking about doing characters from various media such as movies, tv shows, and the like.


Of course I guess I could also see what's trending for ideas.

Recently been drawing a blank on how I wanted to redo some characters of mine. So I figured I would try out some of the ai art prompt sites for ideas.

After trying out some, I think the one that had better results is one called StarryAi. It didn't do all that werid multi... well everything.

Anyways, I ended up with some nice images to use as references now. And that's all they'll be used for. (Much like looking up photos online to use for refs)

Using them should help me also with posing and viewing angles better, which I suck at 😅.

(Yes, I tried DallE 2. But I'm not made of $$ and ran out of free credits)

The YCH (two of them) will begin sometime next month since I'm doing a the daily pics all this month for my Sketchbook account.

Figure I would give a heads up on why there's not many load going on here.
