Children and very old people full of hatred to the world yet unyielding in their own survival are so special to me. They can be so inherently unhappy yet will never give up on what's theirs.

Hatred.

You didn't notice my accidental mirroring with Mithrun--

Long time ago a dear friend of mine sent me a "which Dungeon Meshi character are you?" quiz, and the results sent me so much i decided to actually honor that with the painting above.

Iirc it was a really nice quiz so here it is if you like to try it out. :)

Oh.

To call WT's actions "antics" would be reducing the severity of what they're doing to creators. This is unacceptable behavior and it should be all the more reason for creators to start exploring other career paths outside of WT. For years they've been meticulously crafting an environment where people believe that WT is the only path to success, where WT controls the degree of success creators can achieve, from the manipulation of the promotional system to the lack of tagging and proper search functions on the app. Now that they've boiled the frog to this point, they're cashing out by flooding the platform with cheap imports, implementing AI tools, and of course, trying to use their contracts as a way to trap creators and keep them from owning their own IP's and maximizing on their own success.

I said it before and I'll say it again - Webtoons is planning to go public with their IPO this summer, so it would be a real shame if creators spoke up about the underhanded tactics used by WT to keep them from finding success in their own works. At the very least, it should serve as a reminder to all of us that companies like these can't amass billions without exploiting people along the way.

We can't even use "they're creating jobs for comic creators" as a reason to want to see WT succeed in spite of their flaws anymore because they're literally ruining people's careers, cutting them off before they've even started. That's not the platform being "flawed", that's the platform and the system it's built on being broken, full stop.

I don't remember when was it that i doodled this thing, but i remember that back in the day i thought i should redraw it one day. Now i actually love it's clumsy energy.

[ID: a peaceful warm digital artwork depicting Helix, one of HiddenCarpet’s ocs. They are a fat muscular brown person with loose shoulder lenght wavy brown hair and sideburns. They have a few yellow flowers in their hair and they are wearing a simple light dress in pink orange color with a loose yellow lace on top. It falls off them, partially uncovering their hairy body with big and messy scars of multiple cuts on the left side of their neck, burn scars on their right shoulder, and breasts with two large nipples. They are sleeping on their back, with one hand on their belly and second hand to the side. Their hair falls onto their face and a big canine stands out of their mouth. They are covered with warm light of bright yellow abstract flowers surrounding them. End ID]

[ID: A warm digital artwork in pink tones. It’s an icon depicting a gray anthro mouse with black bangs chilling in a navy blue blanket. They hold a green mug they are about to take a sip from. There is steam coming from the mug. The background is pink. End ID]

I love careless imperfections in art.

People always praise the perfections and fear the imperfections in their works, and i'm not going to say i don't completely fear imperfections in my works either;

However honestly, the happy and the unlucky accidents in art feel so special to me. The accidental dots that should've been removed, the wonky-choppy lines, wrong colors, rushed anatomy, an area left over/undershaded, forgetting to erase an additional pair of hands from a finished artwork.

It can be jarring, it can be beautiful, but it always feels lived, and that is so wonderful. Even if you got to erase an entire pair of extra hands after you already posted the artwork online.

Having fun with a bit of some thin lines :)

Just wanted to draw Iwona and Justyna

I wish i could get to see more of Alice holding Oz like a princess.

Did you ever make a neocities page? If so ill follow!

I was making one, but sadly coding is not my passion. I tried using free templates, but they still required tinkering so i'd have both single column for update posts and grid for portfolio. Need to find some extra time and energy to learn and and work through it.

WIll announce if i get a site, thank you for the interest!! :)
