- Reposted by Kim SokolHi everyone ! I’m going to have to open a few comms as as good as going back to school is, it’s rough financially Do be advised that things might take a while on orders due to homework and lectures ! If you wish to support, here are my slots and my ko-Fi in general ! ko-fi.com/radinsky/com...
- Hey artist! Quote with something dramatic 🎭 Dramatic is kind of my whole vibe so for once I had to stop and consider what to pick for one of these QRT things, but I went with something happy-dramatic since it seemed like the last few were darker :)
- Say I might be doing a MTG event for the first time in a while this year. Say I want to make a few new custom tokens. What are the most common/popular ones? (I don't do enough events for having niche stock to be worthwhile)

- Reposted by Kim SokolA rare post from me to flail about how excited I am to have sent my first donation of $445 to the Immigrant Defense Network through sales of my piece Minnesota Spite! You may have seen a similar AI-generated piece floating around on shady popup sites, but only the original supports local causes.

- Reposted by Kim Sokoli’m here again to point out that Doug Ford thinks it’s fantastic that we’re equipping ICE
- I’ve really been grinding on the fundamentals behind the scenes lately, here’s my latest hour of 60sec gestures. Short gesture drawings are my fav warmup and I love seeing other peoples’ so I try to share mine occasionally for those out there who feel the same!
- Ref from a couple of packs by @trueref.bsky.social! One thing I’ve been doing different lately is sticking to one model per session like it’s actual lifedrawing rather than shuffling my whole hoard, and I wish I’d done that ages ago. Really gives you time to get a sense of this one specific person
- I buy a lot of ref packs and the trueref membership has insane value, cannot recommend enough. Hashtag not sponsored, the opposite of sponsored, I give them my money actually

Especially Black communities because they were strategically placed there. I need you to listen to these people. STOP USING AI. STOP SUPPORTING AI.

- Reposted by Kim SokolAnother FanArt token mockup. Like so many, I found out about Chappell Roan when Hot to Go! went viral in 2024. One of my favorite costume sets was the Joan of Arc theme she had at the 2024 VMAs. This particular portrait study is based on a concert photo taken by Mike Coppola.

- Reposted by Kim Sokol4 Lakota men were kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis. 3 of them were taken to what used to be a concentration camp for Native people, and the only people talking about it are other Indigenous people. I am angry but mostly numb, I am so used to this at this point. We are always forgotten.
- I think I'm pretty good at light and mood! And after years in the card mines (FFG before MTG) I also think I'm pretty good at composition for cards specifically. (Not to fish but I'd love to know what others think I'm good at, one skill I definitely DON'T have is looking at my work objectively)

- Sometimes starting over is the right choice. Even if you’re many hours in. Even if you’re on a tight deadline. Even if it hurts to throw work away it saves frustration and often even time in the long run.
- Just this week I threw away a piece 8 hours in on a pretty tight deadline; I was struggling and really in the weeds with it and it turned out a fresh start with a slightly different pose and better reference fixed all my problems
- Just as true, if not more true, if you’re closer to the beginning of your artistic journey - I’ve seen folks get really stuck trying to fix a piece again and again to make it right when what they’re trying to do is just a little outside their abilities. Take what you’ve learned, make something new.

- Reposted by Kim SokolStrongly urge people to follow the link and be very critical about this to Discord. You tired of all these pointless AI features in your CURRENT set ups. Then tell Discord you don't want that. Hell tell them you'll leave if they add it. Because that's probably the best way to get the point across.
